  am i the only member in my family that is GAY? it seems i may be the lone ranger.... while my mom and sister know i am gay i still can't help to wonder who else in my family is gay.. it's a littel sad and upsetting because i am not out to my family out of fear and their constant insults of the gay community while in family gatherings.. i've almost came out while @ a Thanksgiving gathering but i held back and was so afraid. I've always wonder how much of an odd man out will i be if i came out to my entire family?

  Apparently I have a long, lost cousin in Chicago that was kind of disowned by his Father (my Uncle) years ago.
  
  Other than that I'm the only fag around...
  
  I'm only close to my immediate family (We are liberal with higher educations). I doubt my aunt/uncles would even recognize me if they saw me.

  I have three other siblings, both my younger sisters are lesbian, or at least bi-sexual. My my elder brother has unknown status. He's been single forever though.

  My uncle is gay.
  And from what I've heard, so is his husband.

  Officially I am the only gay member of my family.
  
  However I suspect my older brother, and my dad, and even my mum I feel is probably bi if not a complete lesbian, and there's a possibility of an uncle being gay but nobody else I would say is in danger of being one!
  
  Just tell them if it's making you unhappy keeping it back. They will probably change their views on gays once they know that you are one.
  
  My family were the same and now they don't dare mention it, because they know it doesn't get to me now, because when I CAME OUT it became clear to them that I wasn't unhappy at being gay.

  A difficult question as members of the family from previous generations probably wouldn't have been public with the information. With me, I'm the only known member. However, I'm of the belief that someone, somewhere.....

  I never really thought about it, but I guess I am. No wonder no one else in my family likes to shop, can decorate, or works out at a gym

  Unless one of my younger cousins comes out, I'm the only gay in the family. I don't even have any distant relatives who are gay, and I haven't heard of any of my deceased relatives being gay, either.

  I would not tolerate another gay in the family. There can only be one!

  My uncle was gay (but no one in the family admitted it openly). I didn't put two and two together until he had passed away, though.

  None that I'm aware of. Not even in the adopted part of the family. We're throwing the stats . . . then again, they are mostly rural people, so closet cases are not unlikely.
