How would you react if one of your sibling is gay or trans, or if one of your sibling is dating someone who is transsexual?

I wouldn’t care as long as they’re not Jewish.
I am kidding of course.
If they found someone they want to spend the rest of their lives with, then who am I to judge?

The fact that their SO is transgender would play no part in whether or not I “accepted” their decision. What would play a part is if the relationship is healthy and trustworthy and mutually respectful—which has nothing to do with the person’s gender or lack/ambiguity thereof.

Why should anyone care if their siblings were homosexual?

They’d still be my family and I’d still love them the same. I’d want them to be happy no matter what. My only concern would be that they may have to face additional opposition in their lives because of their lifestyle, but hopefully the world is becoming more and more accepting of this.

I wouldn’t accept it as if it is nothing, because I think who you sleep with isn’t “nothing.” But if you’re asking if it would have a negative impact on my relationship with my sibling, the answer is no.

Is the person in question a good person? Do they treat my sibling well? No issue. If the person in question was my sibling? No issue.

I will admit, though, I’d be curious and probably ask a lot of questions that were absolutely none of my business. Not to dissuade, just to satisfy my curiosity.

I wouldn’t care. Stay out of my bedroom and I will stay out of yours. I would actually be really happy for them. I would imagine it is significantly harder to find a partner outside of the straight community. That is like having the pool of potential partners reduced 90 percent. I have a hard enough time getting laid as it is.

Why would my sibling’s sex life (a subject I devoutly wish to know nothing about) matter to me at all? Rather than the person’s sexual orientation or gender, are they a good person? Is your sibling happy?

Those are the things that matter if you care about your sibling.

None of it is really any of your business/

I’d have no problem with it.

Hi Dee.

I would act the same as if they werent. Id love em.

I’d be curious, but not judgemental. I think being curious is completely normal, and asking questions can be done without judgement.
I really wouldn’t think much of it other than that. I’d hope they’d know I’d be supportive.

I’d love them still.

It wouldn’t make a difference to me at all. I spend most of my working and social life with gay people and the more, the merrier I say!

1) It’s not “their decision”. It’s who they are. The sooner you get that, the happier you (and your family) will be.

2) Are they happy? If so, then why the heck should care? Be happy for them.

Why the fuck would I care what’s in my sister/brother’s pants, or who they’re sexually interested in?

I’m never going to get sexually involved with either one of them. Why would I care if my sister has a penis? Why would I care if my brother likes penis?

Sure, it MAY be interesting for me to find out those qualities about close friends of mine, since I don’t want to find out that the girl I want to bum actually has a WIENER, and I don’t want to find out that my closest guy friend wants to bum me.

Doesn’t bother me. When my sister first told me she was bi, I thought she might just be saying that for attention/whatever because her friends claimed being bi around that time too (and she’s kind of that type too, anyway). She also told me that she’s made out with a girl and a boy in the same make-out session too, and that she’s a nympho, so that probably skewed my perception at the time.

I don’t really care though. I don’t see why its so important, its like “what would you do if you sibling had red hair?” What does it matter?

Wow. These are all very interesting answers yall have given. Just by reading some of these articles and responses on this issue; combined with my knowledge of the gay lifestyle (by being the brother of a gay person), I have noticed something. The gay lifestyle is one of the most confusing conditions to cope with and understand known to mankind. Growing up my brother, who is 3 years older than I, liked everything I liked, sports, girls, pizza, pokemon cards, girls, and GIRLS. He hung out with the same people I hung out with, he did the same things I did and didn’t act differently at all. OK, heres where the confusion begins. My brother was never the type of person to care what another person would think, he was very independent and the complete opposite of self-centered. Myself on the other hand, cared greatly about my social life, probably alot more than bearable at times, making me come off as an asshole or narcissistic type of person. My brother came out to my parents when he first entered high school, in the 9th grade. My parents were the only ones to know at this point, and they completely disagreed with his lifestyle at first and didn’t want me to know because they thought I would judge him. So finally, when it was time for me to enter high school, I had GREAT suspicion that my brother was extremely gay, but didn’t want to ask him because I figured it would have already been adressed and talked about with me. So my parents kept my brother being gay a secret from all my friends so I wouldn’t know, but it made it seem to me like him being gay was a problem. I am much more mature at this point when I have already accepted him for my brother and nothing else, but I would just like to expose examples of REAL FACTS about the complexity of the effects of having a gay family member. In the long run, depending on the how the parents react to the gay child, it can have a great effect on others. All throughout high school I was embarassed as hell about people asking about my brother, because this was put into me.

Fact from fiction, truth from diction. It would make no difference. Though I am a religious man and my faith I may not approve of their actions but It won’t make me treat or love them any less.

Gay and Trans are two entirely different things.
Do your own homework on that.

That you have an issue is on you and your thinking.
They are doing just fine without you.

It is on you to find knowledge and understanding regarding those different from you so you can find your own peace.

And Love people unconditionally!

That is what life is all about anyway…

Peace

I am the sibling in this story, I came out to my siblings and while they said, ” um yeah its fine, we support you” none of their actions support what they have said. I could go on here for hours and yes everyone is entitled to their opinion but just remember that to not have the support of ones siblings is extremely painful and there is potential for you to lose them if you don’t support them… Just saying to fully think things through!!
