Miss_Lily answered Sunday March 27 2005, 10:07 am: No, I don't think this is a phase. Someone knows when he/she likes someone of the same sex. It is a feeling that has been with them for awhile, not one that just pops up one day. Just talk to her sister. If you want her to be open and honest with you, then you need to do the same for her. Talk to her and let her know that her friends accidentally slipped and told you something, and you just wanted to know if it was try. Tell her that you will love her no matter what, but you would rather know then to think about it as a rumor. Let her know that you are not ashamed of her sexuality, but that you are hurt that she didn't tell you about it. If your sister cares about you, she will tell you the truth.

Just ask your sister if you guys could talk and don't go crazy when you ask her questions and she says yes to things you wouldn't exspect. Just when you talk to her just remember she will always be the sister though and don't think any different about her.It all depends on how old she is.

xXxpinky615xXx answered Tuesday March 22 2005, 3:42 pm: It could be just a phase or your sister is just experimenting with her sexuality. People can be 45 and still experimenting with their sexuality. I wouldn't mention it to her because when she's ready to say anything to anyone she will. She might never want to say anything to anyone but you have to let her be the one to tell you instead of saying "Hey sis, so and so was drunk and said you were a lez and that you had a girlfriend. Is that true?" My cousin is a lesbian and she still hasn't openly admitted to our family that she is a lesbian. She's told her sister (my other cousin) that she is, but by looking at her and if you look at her "room mates" she looks like she's a lesbian. Another thing you can do to try to get her to admit it without being to obvious is if the two of you are out shopping or something and you see a hot guy walk by be like "Oh, he's a cutie! Isn't he the hottest thing you've ever seen?" or something like that and see what her response is. She might give an answer like "he's not my type" or "Nah, I've seen cuter". Try not to directly ask her if she is a lesbian. Don't worry, I'd be shocked too. Good luck with everything. Hope this helped. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]
Malicious_Angel answered Tuesday March 22 2005, 3:37 pm: My sisters gay ... it was quite a shock for me when she told me about 6 years ago. I was 9 at the time so that was quite shocking. She still is gay and I'm sure its not a phase. Well I was the first person my sister told I didn't have a problem with it but it was a bit weird for a little while, after all I was only 9 she was 12. And I had to sleep in the same bed as her cuase she lives with my mom. But not to get into that, just talk to your sister about it I'm sure she would explain anything you had to ask her.

Let her know she doesn't need to hid things from you because you are going to support her no matter what, and you are not ashamed that she is gay. To show your support offer to help her come out to your parents. [ jbdreamer's advice column | Ask jbdreamer A Question ]
