My sibling wants to come out and as the designated scapegoat of my family I’m scared that my parents will blame me for “tainting” their hope of an ordinary child.

My parents boast about being weird but they’re really not. They’re white suburban upper middle class. They don’t accept me and I’m scared it’ll be worse for her. But I also know it’s soooo hard to be in the closet and I just want her to feel free. They know I taught her about a lot of things. I think they’ll think I forced this on her.

Well, things like this are never easy. Maybe you should talk with your sibling about what to say if they ever ask if you "tainted them." Having a conversation about anything beforehand is always a smart move.
