Hi Miguelina – the same exact thing happened to me this week. My sister told me she is gay on Monday. I still love her and will always support her no matter what, but I feel a loss too. I will miss not having a brother-in-law or nieces and nephews or a sister who I can relate to.
i had a lesbian sister also. She died of ovarian cancer three years ago. Talk about a loss. Yes, when she told me that she was a lesbian I felt a loss, only because I thought I knew everything about her. I loved her deeply and she knew that. I had no problems with her being a lesibian and neither did my parents. That is what she was not who she was. rs
