Hi Guest
Coming out is a huge step and along with being absolutely sure that the time is right for you to come out.
You also have to be prepared to deal with how the people you come out to will react.
Your true friends should support you and have no issue with your sexuality your still the same person that they have always known and liked to hangout with so hopefully they will be understanding and supportive.
Your family may have some difficulty coming to terms with having an LGBT brother or sister but they should support you and will hopefully be glad you have shared this with them.
If needed there are many good sites for the parents of LGBT children that really give good information to parents that will help them understand and come to terms with your sexuality.
As far as your brother being homophobic he might have a negative reaction at first but if he will give you a chance to explain things to him hopefully he can come to terms with having a brother or sister that is BI.
If your a girl he probably would be a little more understanding.
As far as how to tell them it is just what you feel would be best for you you could start with one family member and one friend or if it's right for you tell them all at the same time.
Making sure it is the right time for you to come out and being well prepared to talk openly about your sexuality is about all you can do.
No doubt you have rehearsed many times what you will say and to who you will say it to so it is just down to when your ready.
