I'm not sure what to do.. I think my stepbrother is gay?

When you step brother discovers that the is gone,who do you think that he's going to think is responsible for it missing? So what if he's gay? It doesn't make him any less of a person.It's a personal choice and it's up to him how he wants to live his life style.I think deep down inside that it bothers you and when you ran across his papers you probably had a sense of panic come over you and you probably were embared.Still,as far as giving them to your mother,I don't really think that was called for.I mean,what is she suppose to do about it? I'm sure she has probably sensed that he's gay by now.Some things are better just left alone and unsaid.Maybe you should sit down and have a talk with your step brother,it might make you feel better and ease your conscience about what you did.I would start off by maybe saying that you want to apoligize for something you did.Just tell him that you ran across some of his papers and you were caught off guard and without thinking it through first that you handed them to your mother.Honesty is the best policy,don't lie about it,as the old saying goe's,"what a tangled web we weave,when we try and deceive".If you value your relationship with him,you can save face by admitting what you did and tell him your sorry about it because in reality,it wasn't your place to turn them over to your mother.I believe you when you say your intent was not to snoop.Make things right between you both,one day you'll probably look back and laugh about this.Hope I've been of help,I know you feel ashamed of how you reacted.Maybe you could even ask your mother for the pictures back and just personally hand them to him.Just say you ran across them.
