I can truly appreciate the fact that you stayed true to who you are and with a supportive family, you were able to live your life.On some level I would like to believe that your brother already knew and may have had the intent to discuss it on his visit.
I have had to share secrets with my sister before, and I have always found that the ones that we have a hard time opening up to because of some distorted thought process which leads us to think that they will judge us, so in turn we judge them but in truth they already know and their love is their acceptance.
