I'm waiting for my brothers to ask me this. And I guess I will adopt your style.  

Well do they already see you with different women? It's easier for them to come to the realization if you leave little hints here and there :D

I think it basically depends on a few things like how widely accepted being gay is where you live (definitely a no-no in Nigeria), are you yourself comfortable with your sexuality, how comfortable your family is about homosexuality.. who you would like to come out to first, are you comfortable living in the closet for the rest of your life etc.

My situation is a bit different because I live abroad but parents still live in Nigeria.. So most of my friends (even some in Nigeria) already know that I am gay.  But my coming out to family story is actually interesting - I didn't straight out come out to my siblings, they basically directly questioned me while we were all on vacation..drinking and asked if I was a lesbian.. I told them I wasn't drunk enough and they should ask after a few more drinks.. Of course they did and I had to come out to them. They were happy that they finally knew and said they felt closer to me, but that I shouldn't tell my parents.

Now fast forward 3 years later, on my birthday my mom basically told me in Yoruba and I translate "to go find and bring home a wife". I was quite shocked and basically just said okay bye.. I guess what I'm trying to say is in most cases, your family already suspects or knows that you are gay but they need a bit more time and your help to accept it.

Anyways, I hope you figure it out soon. I'm more than happy to chat more about my experience.

Cheers

I Love this.

Hahahahaha. First, I would need a PR and a one way ticket to wherever it is you are. Deal? 😁:597f83aa4cd9b_tw_kiss_closed1:

Yes, he says it to my face in the presence of our friends that it seems I'm a lesbian. I always bone him. Many hints sef but for now, I won't give him any response.
