Reply #33: Your post brought tears to my eyes. What a loving effort. [View All]

I was in the car recently with my brother and his 14 year old daughter, whom I suspect may eventually come out... they all know I prefer being with women, but my brother said something to the effect of why can't I just find a nice guy and settle down... I was speechless. Fortunately my sis-in-law is not at all homophobic so my neice will at least be able to talk to her if she comes out. But my brother really disappointed me, after my being out for about 20 years, to say something disparaging like that... The nice part of the story is that I spoke with my folks about this, who have come a *long* way in these 20 years, and they were supportive of me and also disappointed in my brother.
