I came out to my younger brother in the car one day when I was parking. He looks out the window at the divider lines and he says "You're not straight." And I say "You got that right, but how's the car?"
I don't remember exactly when I told my parents, but they know I'm bi (and not a romantic type, but I haven't used the word "aromantic" with them yet). My mom told me she hopes I end up with a man, if only because it would make my life easier. I've gotten the "I don't want you to die alone" talk, too. That's a rough one. But they ALSO made it clear that they want me to be happy and successful on my own terms before anything else.
