HIS COMING OUT STORY (Edition 11)
A KDian, Neme, recently came out to his brother in a WhatsApp conversation, and it was a beautiful thing to witness how absolutely unperturbed this family member was by his brother’s sexuality.
In fact, this brother apparently suspected so long that Neme was gay, but was sensitive to his feelings of security, especially regarding how stigmatized homosexuality is in the country.
“[I didn’t want to ask because] I would not want to make you feel uncomfortable about it,” Neme’s brother reveals in an accompanying voice note.
For a heterosexual person, Neme’s brother shows a lot of sensitivity and understanding for the struggle involved in his brother being gay when he goes on to say that other members of the family likely suspect that Neme is gay as well, but would rather dwell in denial and not want to confront him because they do not want to deal with the reality of that secret being out in the open.
“They don’t want to confirm it,” he says, “because when they ask you now and you now say it, it is now, like, confirmed. But right now, it can be ‘technically’ and they are still assuming … so they can still hide under that comfort and say, ‘Oh, he has not actually said he’s gay.’ So I think almost everybody in our house would know or would feel it, but then, nobody will actually say anything to you. And also, it’s not everybody that is liberal or open-minded as I am about it, so you don’t want to be talking to those kinds of people, before they’ll start telling you that you should start praying and doing deliverance.”

August 18, 13:36I will leave my own case to “assumption” they all suspect in my house but they keep living in denial, I’ve told my brother in lots of ways except to outrightly say it.. but this kind of “Hollywood”acceptance will be nice AF.
