My cousin came out a couple of weeks ago and though it was not exactly a surprise I began to recall situations I had been with him over the past many, many years.
He would always like the same things I liked, for example I loved Orange Crush then he too would have to have the Orange Crush.
I loved video games, he would beg for the same system or titles.
I showered in the locker room he wanted to help..... anyway, I always thought he looked up to me and wanted to be like me (completely serious here) and I always thought he was a touch, well, gay, and in the 80's that wasn't the cool thing for a cool dickhead like me. Hindsight is a bitch.
Now I have matured a lot over the last 20 years and I got to thinking this week that I haven't really hung out or talked to my cousin since right around the time when he would probably have begun developing certain urges....
My question is do you think that he was ashamed and shyed away from me and my friends because we were immature crude assholes, who might be dicks about his urges or him being gay. And if that were the case, since I haven't really talked to him in a long time do you think I should call him just to say hey?
You see another problem is I don't talk to many of my cousins anymore so I think that they might all start coming out of the closet if they hear I called him.
So for a scooby snack who can give me some input?
