Brother came out as gay today!

[Anonymous]

My 21 year old brother came out as gay at the thanksgiving lunch table with 33 people family extended family in the room, no advance warning. Now my mom (heart of indiana, devout, religious) is crying and my east coast cousins are cheering him on for being "brave". I need to get out of here....

Good for him! Now no one needs to pretend anymore because you all knew he was since he was 3.

You need to get out? Not about you. He can do what he wants. When he wants. How he wants. I don't blame him.

Naah I need to get out of this crazy shithole. I love my big brother! I hate his guts and "shownanship" and dont know why he had to do it in front of the entire clan but I still love him. College is giving him wings....

It is a lot easier to say it once in front of everyone than to call or hang out with everyone individually to tell them

I'm 28 and I'm on DCUM. The conversations and whining on here are hilarious. I originally started out in the Real Estate section and just kind of...drifted over to others.

Why is age an issue? College goer in greater metropolitan DC. Started with the nanny forums to augment income. Have always gotten good advice here....

It amazes me that the olds on DCUM still think there are no millennials or young people on here. Hello! Millennials spend a ton of time online, of course we stumble across the shithole that is DCUM sooner or later...

My SIL's BIL pulled that crap at a Thanksgiving a few years ago. Like no one knew. His own family called him my sister Peter. Thanksgiving was the day his father had a massive heart attack and died at the table and sister Peter thought it was the perfect day to confirm himself.

I will never understand this gay pride thing.

As a lesbian I find it to be really selfish. I get the "wanting to get it over with thing" but derailing everyone else's holiday with what you know is going to be huge news... I don't agree with it at all. Especially because some people are just not cool with gay people- doesn't mean they're bad people, but they grew up with prejudice. It feels kind of like "sticking it to them" to turn Thanksgiving about it. JMO

Being not cool with it makes them bigots.

I think that's very closed minded.
