Does Your Brother Know?qvMagazine is always intrigued by what's on your mind. So in another one of our surveys, we asked you, "Does your brother know you're QV?" Here are some of the things you told us!
"I have eight brothers and three of us are QV! All of my brothers know about me, except for my baby brother who is only 9 weeks old. There's no problems with me being QV, except that my mother is always trying to hook me up with guys that I have absolutely no interest in!" -25 years old, Dallas, TX "I have three brothers. They all know I'm QV and have dealt with it quite well-better than I could ever want. So much that one of them has asked me to baptize my nephew. I am really blessed." -36 years old, East Los Angeles, CA "My younger brother is the macho Latino type. You know, the kind of man we imagine our fathers to be. I think it came to a big surprise for him to find out I was QV. I mean I was and still am very straight acting, and my brother who is younger than I am always looked up to me as a role model. When I fully came out, the only reason I did was because I was in love with this man, and we were going to move in together. To my surprise, my whole family, including my little brother, were very supportive!" -29 years old, Lowell, MA "I'm very lucky to have two brothers: one straight and the youngest, QV. I also have three sisters: the oldest and youngest, straight, the middle one, QV. We all are adults with children and families 'QV and straight,' and we all support each other. Our parents even support all of us-for who we are and what we do!" -45 years old, San Diego, CA "My brother does not know I'm QV. I am not out to anyone!" -20 years old, Hammond, IN "I have one older brother and two younger ones and all three of them know I'm QV. They're very cool with it. If any of their friends make any comments towards QVs in any way, they set them straight!" 32 years old, Dallas , TX "Both my brothers know that I am QV. In fact, my younger brother is QV, too. They seem to be fine with it. They're supportive and accepting!" -27 years old, New York, NY "I have five brothers, and they all know I am QV. Although we passed through some difficult times initially, the "hermano" bond has withstood solidly. They are accepting of me and my relationship with my partner of 13 years!" -40 years old, Cathedral City, CA "I have two brothers
who know I am QV, and they don't think twice about it. They
accept me how I am!" -21 years old, La Puente, CA "My little brother knows what's up, but he doesn't really understand it." -16 years old, Garden Grove, CA "My only brother knows that I am QV and doesn't care. In fact, it's not even an issue with him!" -23 years old, Phoenix, AZ "I have a twin brother and another brother, who is ten years older than I am. The older one is fine with it. We have talked a great deal about how I think he knew I was QV even before I came to that realization. My twin brother is fine with it, too. I think at first, it was a little troublesome for him. Now he and my two sisters-in-law enjoy going out to QV clubs with me. Anyway, I am very fortunate to have siblings who support me and love me. Now, I just need to come out to my older sister, the co-matriarch of the family. Ugh!" -32 years old, Austin, TX "My brothers know that I am QV, and they just kid around with me about it. On occasions, you can tell they are a little uncomfortable around both me and my boyfriend, but overall I know they love me, even though they like giving my dates a very hard time!" -29 years old, Atlanta, GA "I have an older brother that I have strong feelings he knows I am QV. We have never discussed the issue of my homosexuality, but he has always been very kind and friendly to any male friends who I introduce to him. I've also taken a few of my QV friends to his humble home, and my brother has treated them with an upmost respect." -38 years old, Houston, TX "I have two brothers and they are wonderful! They both go to QV clubs with me and give me advice on guys. When I told my younger brother about myself, he said "I love you and you love me, so what you do behind your bedroom door is nobody's business-much less mine." My middle brother said, " It's cool. It's about time you told me!" -30 years old, Chicago, IL <<Previous Article<< | >>Next Article>> |
