I don't go out & get drunk like everyone else, I don't even want to, am I weird?

Oh, you're so full of yourself that you can't see how hard is for her to stand up and say such thing to everyone. To come out is no way an easy thing. You can spend hours thinking on the many reasons why she didn't tell you before telling others.

Or you can just be supportive next time you meet her talk openly and naturally about everything and let her to know that you'll always be there for her just because that's what good sisters do.

It sounds like she was scared you were going to take the mick out of her and not accept her. The fact you joked about it probably made her insecure and worried to tell you. She still loves you though, But coming out of the closet is a hard thing to and joking about it to her could have really made her insecure about, I know you didn't do it on purpose and that you do accept her its just, coming out and you joking about it could have been too much for her to handle by telling you in person.

Something little like that could have stopped her.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
