    I’ve always been curious, for those who have siblings or parents or close relatives who are LGBT did them being out help you understand your own feelings?

    Did being exposed to same sex relationships at a young age help you better understand your own sexuality?

    How did they react to your coming out? Or were you just able to be out without having to explain yourself.

    I knew I liked boys at a young age but never knew those feelings were okay.

    I have a gay aunt, but wasn't aware until after I came out. I assume knowing would have helped me out a bit. I didn't have any real life role models until my late late teens (or early 20s?)

    She was honestly a bit....much coming out to her and awhile afterwards. She was ecstatic about no longer being the only gay in the family loll. We seem to have a better bond now days :slight_smile:
