My cousin just told me that he's g*y?

Question

and I accepted it on the spot but now a few days later its as if my whole world is flipped around. has anyone else experienced this? should I tell him how I'm feeling or would that just make him upset that he told me... and my cousin and I are VERY close, could that be why I feel this way?

Answer 1

nothing's changed. your cousin is exactly the same as he always was.  you simply know something you didn't before.

Answer 2

Tell him your true feelings about it. It works. It is good to be honest.

Answer 3

No i would keep it to yourself as he might be offended.. make sure your there for him all the time and act like nothings changed even if it has.

Answer 4

Tell him how you feel but don't say it in an offensive way! "Because of you, my whole world is flipped around! " That's a bad way haha.

Answer 5

i think that your just really confused right now

i mean right when he told he was g*y you accepted it on the spot so it was your natural instint to accept him cause you love him and you guys are so close

now that you had time to think about it your adding other components to it..like for example (i'm not saying this is you) your scared now that your close cousin is g*y that people are gonna think your g*y..u know what i mean...i kinda wanna say because of what society thinks of g**s your kinda ...i wanna say brainwashed into being nervous....where as when it was just you on the spot you did your natural instint...get what i'm saying?  

Answer 6

my cousin told me she was a L*****n,

and i mean, I'm ok with it.

it's not something i can change about her, and criticizing wouldn't do anything at all to help, so i just told her that if she ever needed help telling off some jacka$$ that made fun of her, i'd always be there for her(:

she is practicly my bestfriend.

i USED to not like g*y people, but now that i actually know one, they are just like me and you. don't feel weird around your couzin, just feel honered that he/she loves you enough to tell you

Answer 7

Its absolutely normal for you to flip out. You should try to educate your self about homosexuality and what it means. Then talk to your cousin, trust me it is always better to talk things out than to keep them bottled up inside.  

Answer 8

Your cousin is still the same person there is no reason for anything to change

Answer 9

You could tell him the way you feel. If he told you that then he trusts you enough to keep a secret. He should care of how you feel. Don't tell anyone else about it because that is his personal business and if he wanted someone to know then he would let them know himself. You should ask him if anyone else knows about it. If you two are very close then don't let this get in between you two. Its just the way he feels and everyone is different. He is still family and the same person he has always been. Hope this helps.  

Answer 10

I think you need to just get over it. Your cousin thought enough of your relationship to trust you with it. Accept it and move on. Unless you are sleeping with your cousin and romantically attracted your cousin, you should just be happy that you are entrusted with such a life changing moment.

By the way, is your cousin available? LOL
