In Answer To: Big crush on guy cousin (Blue Guy)

The attraction to your cousin certainly has made you aware of your gay or bisexual nature. A sexual relationship between cousins is a risky proposition. If it's discovered, you not only have the "gay" taboo, but the "incest" taboo, and you also add fuel to a common argument of homophobes who thing that "gay guys will have sex with anything." Also, even if your cousin is gay, there's no telling how he might react to a gay proposition from his cousin. It might even be dangerous.

I believe the contemplation of becoming physical with your cousin stems from your fear of revealing your orientation to others. But that's exactly what you're going to need to do to find a more suitable partner. So, appreciate the beauty of your cousin, but focus your energy on meeting the eye of an attractive non-relative.
