I had a message posted on it anyway asking for advice and I tought I was in the house by myself and I went to the bathroom and my sister came in and saw it. I saw her going threw the history them and she was like I just had to check mr email and she didn't say anything else.

    The decision to come out should be yours and yours alone. No one should hold you to ranson. You should speak to your sister about it.

    She already knows, so you should take initiative and come out to her directly. She's most likely going to avoid the subject thinking you'll be embarrassed. Hell, she's probably embarrassed from finding out something so intimate accidentally.
    Shoe her its nothing to be embarrassed about. You're gay, big whoop, pass the salt please.

    Yep the balls in your court now!
    Good luck, and remember she didnt comment on what she saw....shes either respecting your privacy or embarrassed.... speak to her. If you wait and pretend nothing happened it will always be in the back of your mind when you see her.....

    just ask her not to tell anyone else for now

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Something similar happened to me some years back. My sister was using my PC to look for work in the U.S. She decided to apply for Gap jeans. She started typing in the URL "http://www.ga " .. and Internet Explorer decided to be helpful and guess the site she wanted based on the browser's URL history...

    We never did confront it at the time but I think it was a pretty strong indicator for her.

    Well she already knows, so if she's not trustworthy then she'll tell. But if you explain to her that you're not ready etc, then hopefully she won't.
