Gays, lesbians and bisexuals individuals have many coming out stories where they can experience possible rejection or homophobia whether coming out within the family or to the public. One of the coming out stories is also towards siblings of their partners or affines. There are some specific cultural rules and norms in relation towards affinal kinship, but are they the same for homosexual couples as they are for heterosexual couples? In this paper, I discuss the differences and similarities in relation to affinity and sexual orientation.
