Should I tell my mum?
Hello. I went out for a meal with my mum's cousin last night. He revealed that my mum's brother (married with children and grandchildren) is gay.
This was a bit of a shock to say the least. Apparently the cousin (gay also) went on holiday with my uncle, and they paid for rent boys etc. It also turns out that my uncle has had various relationships with men, with the blessing of my aunt.
But I am 100 per cent sure my mum does not know - and I feel if she knew and didn't tell her, she wouldn't be impressed. However, she would probably freak if she did know...
Should I tell her?

If your mum really believes that married with kids means he can't possibly be gay, then she probably wouldn't believe you (until she found out for sure of course) & you'll be the villain.
It's very hard for you Tock, but if I were you I'd say nothing.
No, you should not tell your mum.
- How do you know for certain your uncle is gay? Certainly, anyone that gossips about someone in their absence, with information that suppsoed to be secret can hardly be seen as a trustworthy source.
- Even if it is true, your uncle's sexuality is his own business. Not yours, not your mum's. Its entirely up to him whether he wants anyone to know or not.
Hi Tock, agree with everyone else, keep lips firmly shut! If it all does come out and your Mum gets angry about you not telling her, just say that you didn't believe it and presumed you were being wound up so promptly forgot about it and that you didn't think it was worth the upset in pursuing it by telling her.
Toughy, hope it all works itself out.
