i have a gay brother, aint no thing. my dad def wigged out at first. i remember my mom using the word "devastated" to describe my father's reaction. i dunno why he was surprised, dude listened to fucking JEWEL for gods sake when we were growing up.
finding out he is teh gayz def knocked out any homophobia i had in me at a young age. if i see somebody being a dick to another person because of their sexual orientation, they get slapped (/nh). im not some hero or anything, i just do what i hope somebody would if some prick was hassling my brother...
jugz, hopefully your bro lives in a decent sized city, small towns can still be pretty ruthless. my brother got jumped by 3 dudes he never met before, i had a lesbian homegirl get beat the fuck up by two super homophobic GUYS just a few weeks ago, and one of my mom's gay friends got his ass beat at a bar a few months ago because he mouthed off to a guy that told him faggots couldnt kick it in that spot. hopefully your bro can fight if hes young.
ps: if youre lucky, your brother will abhor femmy guys, so you never have to kick it with any obnoxious flamer types. thank god my bro is into normal gay folk that dont act like 12 year old girls.
