“Everyone has intrusive thoughts, but that doesn’t make them bisexual, I think it depends more on what they actually want. But let’s say if you or your sister where bisexual, I wouldn’t care, because none of that stuff really matters.”
Perhaps, in your nephew's mind, he came out to you 5 years ago. And you passed the test so perfectly, you never even realized you'd taken it. In that mindset, he came out to you years before anyone else.
It's not a conversation you can force out of him ... and chances are, the conversation will occur naturally, without you even realizing it's happening ... until it's already happened.
As a side note: In many countries, I don't think it'll be that long before someone is no longer assumed to favour the opposite sex. They are just going to favour the person that makes them feel the happiest.
Thank you, that is really nice to hear.
It's weird how disconnected I feel from him, but it's good to write all this out. Do you have much experience with gay people that you're close too?
I think it might be a little more common in urban Canadian Cities. Or, I might just be in the right place at the right time. 🤗
Growing up, I had neighbours and friends who were gay. As I got a little older, I had cousins that came out. I've dated someone who was bi. When I went to University, I worked in the residence for two years as a resident assistant where I met/helped many folks that were coming out. One of my best friends is gay. One of my kiddo's are bi.
One of my wife's best friends is Amanda Knox. If you want to read a very interesting story about different form of coming out. Her blog and subsequently her book are revealing.
At the very least, I'm quite comfortable about the subject.
