My brother just came out!

My younger brother (who is 21) just came out as gay. Everyone was surprised but really supportive. I am so proud of him for opening up but my heart breaks for him knowing that he has been living with such a heavy secret for years and that he was afraid to tell us. He doesn't live in the same city so he told me and my parents (all individually) over the phone but I can't wait to see him again and give him a big hug. I let him know that I love him and that this doesn't change our relationship one way or another. He is and always will be my obnoxious little brother that I love to death lol.
