I grew up with five of us siblings. The family owned and ran a restaurant and we all worked there at one time or another. We actually never really had to deal with the blame and shame thing - everyone was too busy. I was the oldest and didn't come out until after I was married for four years- this was the mid sixties. It was difficult for all of us but eventually my whole family supported me and my sister (15 years younger than me) came out without a hitch and is married to her second date (gotta love those lesbians!) for like 35 years. But we all really had to work at it but love won out.

Love may take time—or not, in your sister’s case—but it’s always worth it. However it shows up. Keep being awesome, Dennis. Cheers!
