    My mum once said that she had a crush on a female teammate in basketball. ^^

    Ok, that doesn't count.
    I have a lesbian aunt. She isn't out to most of the family but my parents once met her girlfriend.

    So interesting! People seem to be in a variety of familial situations. I'm jealous of people that have a queermo family member, for solidarity; I don't know if that necessarily makes things easier but it certainly helps to have accessible support. I have one cousin I suspect might be bi, but she's married to a man and has a kid now. Still I think she'd be the most likely to know what's up.

    My brother is gay and in a committed relationship with what he calls his husband. They did a symbolic only ceremony before it became legal here.

    I read a post on a friend's Facebook page that was something like

    "Everyone has a gay cousin"
    "I don't have a gay cousin"
    "Then you are the gay cousin"

    :lol:


    So, I guess what I'm saying is that I don't have a gay cousin, but I definitely am the gay cousin.

    My mom's bi, but not openly so. She's had a few long term relationships with women and self identifies as b, but she hasn't shared this with many people.

    No. In real life I don't know anyone at all who's gay.

    I have a male cousin who is gay, flamboyantly so! We were close as children but drifted apart as we grew older. Not out to him or any family besides my sister. I have two half sisters who are twins in their 30's and have never had any serious relationships that I am aware of... :dry: One is in the military and always has come off very 'butch' hummmm. Suspect! We're not close so I've never asked. Again, I've never seen her mention a SO.

    My cousin is gay, and the only friendly person on my dad's side of the family. My grandma expects another cousin of mine is gay, but I think she's just awesome. Easy to get those two confused.

    My older sister is out as pansexual and genderfluid. They were the first person I came out to, as you can imagine.

    There was also a rumor that my uncle on my dad's side was gay, but he passed away before I was born, and it could have just been a rumor.

    I have a gay 3rd cousin.. I think he's my 3rd anyway.. He's fairly feminine.. Other then him I think my cousin is bisexual.. she has said some things and her interested in on facebook went to men and women at one stage.. But maybe that was just a glitch in the FB page. You know how facebook sometimes changes things about you? I'm pretty sure it does anyway.

    I have also told him that I am pretty sure i'm a Lesbian and I asked him how it went for him when he came out.. He said it went well. Anyway.. I have a huge family so I don't doubt there is at least a few more closeted gays in it. I know for a fact i'm going to shock alot of people.
