So a while ago I wrote about my coming out story to my mother which was something I thought was pretty funny.. I wish my mother could see that I'm a funny person. I've never shown that side to my mom ever before... I suppose it's because half the time she's criticizing about my hair or a pimple on my face or something along that line that makes me not want to share the funny side of me with her. My father on the other hand, we have the same kind of humour at times and we team up making fun of my mother and her friends without her realizing. *High 5*
Alright, so part two of my coming out story entails telling my second oldest brother that I'm gay.
A quick background of me and my second oldest brother. Lets call him Wing Wong(WW for short) for the sake of me not typing out 'second oldest brother' every time. As a child, WW tormented me in all sort of ways, from locking me outside the house, to kicking my door down and punching my arm and last but not least, tease me during dinner time to the point where tears are dripping down my face and I had to endure salty rice for the rest of my meal. Basically we never got along. After I turned 20(and him 23) we magically started getting along and we'd have a group of mutual friends that we went out with and I started feeling cool for once in my life. When I turned 22, he left for overseas to work.By then, my brother and I had a bond.. a bond that no one else in the family had with each other and he would tell me things that he couldn't even bother speaking to my family about and I felt good about it and my coolness went up by another point.
This year March he came back for a 10 day visit just for shits and giggles and in my mind, I was determined to come out to him and tell him that I'm lesbian but I had to find the perfect timing for it... I couldn't exactly pick him up from the airport with a signboard that said "Welcome back WW!I'm gay yay!". He would of probably kicked me, taken my car keys and drive off without me. So one day we planned for my parents and my brother to come over to and see my place and have dinner somewhere.
I went to pick WW up and thought "Okay, this is my plan of action.1. Pick him up. 2. Make chit chat. 3. Tell him I'm gay. Easy enough" .... No, it wasn't easy, I was nervous as shit because I've forgotten how to actually come out to another person because I haven't done it in a very long time.
My parents drove their car and Wing Wong came with me.. We got to my complex and dawdled around for a bit on the balcony when my housemate came home. They said hi and we left for dinner. WW and I got in the car and the conversation started:
WW:Is that your gay housemate?
Me: Yeah it is, why?
WW: I'm not a homophobe
Me: I know you're not, and even if you are, there's nothing you have to worry about because you're probably not his type
WW: Why are you so defensive and wanting to argue with me so much?
Me: I'm not, I've just got a lot on my mind *sweaty palms*
WW:What stuff?
Me: Just stuff
WW: My friend is getting married in Hong Kong
Me: That's awesome!
WW(nonchalantly): She was dating my friend but then one day she turned lesbian
Me(eyes wide): Wait, what?
WW: Yeah, she was dating (insert name) one day and then BAM all of a sudden she's dating a girl.
Me: I see
*By this point, I'm feeling incredibly nervous yet, I can see the opportunity being served on a furry platter
Me: You know I think there's gayness that runs in our family
*I was totally going to mention one of my cousin that's gay
WW: Hahaha, who? You?
*KRIEK KRIEK**KRIEK KRIEK*..I think I shat my pants a little and the moment of silence felt like you could hear a needle falling into an echo-y canyon
Me: Yes.
WW:Hahaha REALLY? ( I think he thought I was joking)
Me: Yes, really.. Are you freaked out?
WW: No, THAT'S SO FUCKING COOL! I can tell all my friends that my sister is a lesbian! *Does a happy dance on the car seat*
Me: No you can't, asshole.
I then explained to him why, he understood and we ended up talking more than ever and I told him how relieved I was because I've been wanting to tell him for a very long time but I owed it to him to tell him in person and not over the internet. He actually told me I could of told him on Facebook and that I could plaster my gayness all over his wall. I then told him he was an idiot. He gave me an advice though.. he said "Asian, get a girl that's hotter than (insert name)'s wife."
I'll make you proud bro... I'll make you proud.
2 down, 2 to go.
During dinner, he decided to use me as a drug mule via my phone... but that's really irrelevant to anything that I'm writing about.
Peace and Love <3
