I think it would be horible of you to hate him. He is not harming you in any way. Plus how would you feel if he hated you cause you were not homosexual. You should just love him for who he is and not what he does in his bedroom.

Love the sinner, hate the sin. He is and will always be your brother. Doesn't mean you have to like what he does, but you have to love him, especially if your parents are being hard on him. He probably really needs you.

What does him being homosexual have to do with anything at all??? If you love someone it is because of them on the inside, not what they do or how they do it. You and your parrents need to understand thet he is FAMILY and family needs support no matter what!

what do you believe in your heart? Let me ask this: Does your brother being homosexual affect your not? Just because one person is doesnt mean another has to be. i dont think anyone should hate another for something they do or dont feel or what they do or dont believe. would you hate him if he was of another race, religion, or ethnicity? Maybe considering your parents viewpoint is something to talk to them about. why do they hate him? why do they feel the way they do? just because your parents feel a certain way doesnt mean you have to as well. follow your heart and everything will be fine. talk to your brother too. chances are he needs you

If your parents can't accept him being a homosexual then that is something that they need to deal with. Maybe you could try and make them see that it isn't a horrible thing and they should not hate their son because of this. He is still their son and your brother. It doesn't sound like you have a problem with it and you need to let your parents know that. It takes a lot for someone to admit they are homosexual for reasons like this. The important thing is that you are there for your brother.
