Coming out stories/advice

So, another year, another month of pride. With all that’s going on in the world at the moment it feels more important to stand up for who you, are and what you believe in, more than ever. I’ve already come out to my sister, my parents, my closest friends, and my SO. I’ve been out to these people for a while, yet there’s still a lot of people in my family that don’t know. I’m worried to tell my brother as he’s very ‘traditional’. He’s said quite homophobic things in front of me before such as “why do they keep showing queers on tv? They’re just meant to be tolerated, not shoved down my throat.” My parents and sister always call him out on this shit, so I know they’d have my back. If my brother didn’t except me, that’s his problem.... however he has 4 kids that are my absolute world. If he stopped me seeing them I would die inside. I’m so sick of hiding who I am. I just want to be open about this huge part of my life and feel comfortable talking about it. I’m so desperate to come ‘fully out’ and have been for years. I’m just so scared and don’t know where to begin. Does anyone have any advice or coming out stories they could share with me? TIA
