Why would you need to do something about it?

I’m bi and likely will never come out to my family (my choice). However, what has helped me feel more comfortable if I do ever come out is my parents being supportive of queer stuff. My dad is confused but tries to understand the gender stuff and my mom has been supportive of all things LGBTQ+. Just make it a positive and accepting environment. Don’t force it but make it natural

Don’t directly say that you know but maybe consider coming out to him

Like make him feel less ashamed and let him know that he can trust me bc I feel like it’s something he’s agonizing over

But also I’m bi and the thought of my family knowing that before I’m ready to tell them horrifies me

I think my parents are pretty supportive but I’m bi and I’ve been uncomfortable by some of the things they’ve said and I know my parents would feel weird about it if they knew I just wish I could tell my brother that if anything it would bring us closer and that I am fully supportive of him
