I told my uncle

[Kelli Michelle]

I have a gay uncle (actually two), and I hadn't seen him in a few months, even though we are in the same town. Of course he hadn't seen me either, lol. We went to have a beer or two in his local ice house. He has known the owner, the waitstaff, and patrons for years, but they don't know (well he says they don't, but I am not sure) he is gay. It's sorta unimportant to him now as he is a little older, though he still lives his partner of 20+ yrs, but I digress.

I don't know why really, but I felt I could trust him. So I told him I had a a secret to tell him. I imagine he thought I was gonna say I was gay, but no....I told him I was transgender, etc. He hadn't realized I was , but it didn't faze him in the least, when he found out. He is late 60's but in his younger days he was heavily involved in the gay scene here and in Houston, managing a gay club. I had been prompted to tell him for many reasons, but when he said, he wished he could make it back out, cause he really missed the drag shows, I just felt comfortable.

We plan on going out a week from Saturday to the 106 which he hasn't been to in years. AND, I will be dressed as Kelli. This is the first person, ever, that I have told in the family that will have seen me as Kelli. My sister knows, but lives elsewhere (she wants to see), my wife knows and doesn't want to see, and of course my uncle knows.

My uncle wants to go out to Fiesta the week after that, so that should be interesting too.

I am not sure why I telling, I guess I just wanted to share. Thanks for listening

I think it's really great that you have people in your family that will support and enchorage you!! Hopefully, your wife will do the same at some point. I hope you have a great time, and please, tell us all about it!!

Hi, we have a group of people that meet pretty regularly at the 106 off Broadway, as friends, all cders or TGs at least. I think I have seen some posts from you on the Yahoo group I am a member of. When you get enough posts here, I will pm you.

A crossdresser with two gay uncles.
Could all of this be genetic?
Does anyone see a pattern here?

Sorry hun but genetic would be two gay uncles and a GAY crossdresser. Even then you would need to find the alleles that make a person gay :) Kelli never mentioned her sexual preference in her post. Just going by the odds if Kelli had twenty uncles she would have two gay uncles (that would assume a large family) :)


I have to applaud Kelli in her approach to the matter. In her case she can now go out with at least one escort who is presumably safe (no night night kiss at the door :)) and have fun knowing she will be going home with a family member. As time goes on maybe she can find a friend and Uncle can bring his partner.

There is nothing like having someone to do things with. Great courage on your part to tell him. It sounds like it is all working out.

Thanks for sharing. It is always good to here stories with a positive outcome.

It must be nice to have someone who accepts you

Theoretically, my uncles and aunts on my mom's side are not related, as she was adopted. However, recently, my uncle who I told, has mentioned to me, that rumors had been flying years ago. He said my mother's mom was an umarried mother (this was many years ago and unwed mothers were pariah)and gave her up for adoption. The person who adopted my mom was in actuality her aunt (my mom's aunt), who at the time thought she couldn't have kids. Confused enough? That lady became to me "grandmother". Of course after the adoption, she went on to have 4 children, 2 of which are my gay uncles.

It is also interesting to note that my true grandmom (if the stories are true) was sorta known to have "bi" leanings, as did another lady on that side of the family. Are there families with inherited genes that make them predisposed to gay, lesbian, Bi, transgendered lifestyles? Who knows, but it is either very, very coincidental, ironic or something else.

I actually have many people (some men, and no they are just my gay friends) that I hang out, who would support me in many ways. But, as I said, I have never been out with a relative, and it is unique and will make me feel good to hang out with him.

I am hetero, though, I believe that is evolving. I have only ever seen 1 guy who I was attracted to. But, since I don't cheat, I have never acted on it, or put myself in a position where temptation would rear it's ugly head.
