My uncle who's 17 almost 18 in December he just revealed himself as being gay. His mother, my grandmother took it very hard she was very emotional. She just can't face the fact that he is that way. I don't know why but it hurted her so much. I don't care if my uncle is Gay Blind Death or straight crazy , I'm still his neice and i'm going to respect him and treat him as if he's my uncle. But its just hard having a conversation with him. Like when I was on yahoo chatting with him he was like i need a man i didn't know what to type so i signed off! HELP ME!
