A man has revealed how watching his identical twin brother transition to become a woman gave him the strength to come out as gay.   

Branden Miguel and Jada Tahiry, 27, originally from New Orleans, were born identical twin boys - Branden and Bryan - but after Bryan made the decision to transition, they are now brother and sister.

Branden said witnessing the positive reaction to his sibling's transition gave him the courage to accept his own sexuality, and tell his family and friends he is gay.
