There is only one that i know of. She came out as a Lesbian and got excommunicated from the family. No one want's to talk about her. She's a taboo subject.
We have one assumed but unconfirmed LGBT member other than me in the family. I'm the only one who would openly say that they "might" be part of the LGBT community.
No one out - but have strong suspicions about my aunt, who has always been bit of a tomboy, as far as I can remember has always slept separately from her husband, and once told me sex is very underrated. She is also a seriously unhappy and bitter person - so I wouldn't be surprised at all if she was firmly closeted and dealing with her demons. Could be wrong of course, but I do wonder...
My stepfather has one uncle who's gay. Him and his partner are hilarious. I don't see them very much, though.
My late uncle was possibly gay or bisexual. He lived with another man for many years. But from what I know of his views on life it could have been a platonic relationship.
No one is out to me at least. I suspect some relatives to be LGBTQ+ though. I hope I'm not the only one... I mean, isn't like 1 in 10 LGBTQ+? Then it's a very small chance I'm alone in my family.
My brother is two years older than me and gay, he also has a boyfriend who is pretty cool although I don't see them too often. My cousin in the Philippines is gay, but I have only met him once when me and my family visited. I have another cousin in Las Vegas who I am a little bit suspicious of, but there are only three of us I am aware of and we are all out.
There's a first cousin on my mother's side that, for a while, was in the questioning stage. However, she's since moved on and I don't see her anymore. But I suspect she's at least bisexual. My grandmother's cousin was gay. It's interesting how she speaks of him, though it is very little, since the topic of him has only come up two or thee times. She doesn't care that he's gay, and she enjoyed their time together (he passed away many years ago). But she tends to say, "It isn't my issue, it's God's.", whenever something Christianity would be opposed to, comes up. She's a woman of faith, but how she handles it is refreshing. Of course, she comes off as cold too, but you know, I'd take the cold indifference to the heated bigotry of others. There's a younger cousin on my father's side that, I think, could be bisexual. I know girls, in general, tend to be more affectionate and open with those displays, but she goes a little further than most. Sneaking in kisses, wanting to hold hands with other girls, and insisting on dancing with them. Of course she does this with boys too, but she does it more with girls. She's only 10, so the relatives let her get away with this, thinking it's just her age... but I think there's more to it. So, unless my first cousin decides what she is and comes out, and my younger cousin reveals her inner-workings, I'm the only one that I know of.
My grandfather is gay, my mother and sister are Bisexual, my aunt is Bi-curious. My uncles stepdaughter is lesbian. But I'm the only Asexual in my family. I'm still bi, but not in a sexual way. More romantic, sensual and aesthetic.
I wonder how much having an LGBT relative (out or not) helps. On one hand, my aunt being out allowed me to realize how much my parents would dislike my being in a relationship with a woman. But I was talking about this with a lesbian friend the other day, and she thought it was really cool that my aunt was an out lesbian and that I'd met her girlfriend and seen them together. They're in their forties, and my friend and I are students, and I think she's never had a "lesbian role model," someone to show her that it's possible to be an adult and happy and in a stable relationship. I'd never realized I was lucky to have that before she asked me about it.
I have a distant cousin (her grandfather was my grandfather's brother) who's a lesbian. I only know this through others though, because I've never seen her.
