He clearly confides in you, and thats why he told you what seems to be his biggest secret. Keep supporting him, your doing a great job. :-) Encourage him to tell your parents, let him know that you will always accept him as he is and support him no matter what. I imagine your parents will support him as well. Remember to encourage him, dont force him :-) he will come out when he feels comfortable, now that he sees that you are accepting, it will be alot easier for him to tell your parents, but not that easy! Give it some time, everything will work out.
Good luck!!!! [ xosodapopx3's advice column | Ask xosodapopx3 A Question ]

It is very nice of you to be understanding towards the situation but sometimes our parents on the other hand have a different outlook on how their children approach the real world. I think when your brother is ready he will tell your parents, He may be holding back because he is afraid to be put down or rejected. I don't think he should feel pressured into doing something he isn't ready to do. In the meantime you can support him of his choice and just let him be happy [ BahaiMa22's advice column | Ask BahaiMa22 A Question ]
