Chia Bruce Willis - oh gotta have one, it could sit next to my Chia Jerry Garcia (yes I have one, still in the box, but the box is on display) - as a bonus your Chia Bruce Willis has all the emotional and multi-dimensional acting skills of the real Bruce Willis
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

With the twin sisters...I would say that it's a lack of understanding on their part and I wish you the best with your mother talking to them.  Honestly, it could be that they've overheard your father saying nasty things behind your back and are just parroting them, as kids are prone to doing.

Personally, I don't know if I'll ever come out to my family and at least part of that is because of my brother, who used to go 'gay bashing' as a hobby when I was a kid.  I can only imagine what he'd do to his 'little sister' if I finally told him that I'm his 'little brother' instead.

It was nice your sister introduced you as her brother - I think with time and explaining they'll come round. Heck, I remember when I was ten I found out Ian McKellen was gay, and laughed about how gross gay old men were. Of course now I'm older that's not the case, I was just being a stupid brat. Give them time and be patient.

use it against him. make him do all kinds of annoying things for you because you're "too little and cute to do it". in the end he'll probably be so annoyed he tells you to act like the man you are. just remember to be a guy at all times except when you demand the special treatment. he'll get who you are one day, don't let it bother you too much. your own confidence will convince the people around you
