Really getting into it |

I noticed my brother's Last Will and Testament as I was organizing yesterday and realized I may need to talk to him, so I'm asking for advice.
My wife and I are godparents of his children. He and his wife are probably a bit more conservative than I and I don't honestly know what his views on homosexuality are, although he was plenty promiscuous in college before becoming a Christian!
Although I've always had a "live and let live, let God sort it out" and "equal rights for all" attitude, since I've admitted my "orientation" to myself I'm probably more "gay rights"-oriented - although certainly no political activist - and am probably more likely to take a male lover than female in the event, God forbid, anything happen to my wife, who is not as healthy as I am.
So, should I tell my brother that in my heart I am gay, although it will probably never change my "lifestyle", especially in the next 10 years before his children become adults?
Part of me wants to "come out" if and when necessary on my own terms, especially considering it isn't really relevant to most of my actions, but part of me wants to be honest so his decision is an "informed" one.
And of course, both he and his wife, in excellent health, would have to die in order for "godparent" to be meaningful anyway.
I guess this sortof underscores the fact that none of us truly knows what's in another's heart unless we have an extremely close, honest relationship.
