He's the same person he always was, except now you know who he is attracted to. Just treat him the same.

I know how you feel. One of my friends told me she was a lesbian, I was shocked. I found nothing wrong with someone being gay, but I had no idea. You should, and even if it's hard, accept your brother for who he is. He likes guys and so do you, it really isn't as big of a deal as everyone makes it. He's more comfortable around guys then girls and he seems to like them. It's normal. Don't fret, my friend, your unconditional love for your brother shouldn't change just because he has a different view then most people, or what people say is "most people". You seem like a good person and I am sure you wouldn't patronize your brother for being gay. Just take it a step at a time, it will seem completely normal to you soon. ;)

Are you asking how you should treat your brother now that you know he's gay?
Does his being gay change the fact that he is your brother? Probably not. It may be strange if that orientation was never a part of your environment growing up together. But he's still your brother and needs you as his sibling no matter what. Keep an open dialog. Accept who he is. Let him know he's a big part of your life.
Just be family. You might find that your relationship will be much deeper now that he is able to be truthful with you about how he feels.

Support him the best you can, just because his preferences are "different" to others, doesn't mean he's a different person. He may have been gay for years and came out only now. You loved him before, why should anything change? He's your brother, and nothing else should matter. He doesn't deserve to be outcast, made fun of or anything like that. I congratulate him for having the courage to come out. I know how hard it can be. Good luck to him :)

Just continue the relationship you had with him I guess. He's still the same person, only a little more out of the closet. Supporting and accepting his sexual identity would be a good idea too. He is your sibling after all.

Quick...get some of that Lava Soap and throw him in a boiling tub of water and scrub him hard....maybe just maybe you can get that "gay" to come off.......not.......LOVE HIM, LOVE HIM and then LOVE him some more...He's your brother. Your approval of him is more important than you can probably imagine. It will make you a better human being and one stand up dude to support him. Your both gonna go through all kinds of wonderful things and sad things and there just ain't nothing like being able to call up your blood brother to share those things with...Don't let one second of your life be wasted not being a brother....By the way, You da Man!

Same as my brother does for me. He gives me love and support the same as all brothers should do.

Don't d anything but help him through it. He made his own decision and you have to back it up no matter what even if you don't believe in it. People discriminate against being homosexual, but the is more the reason to stand by him through it. He needs his family's support so give it to him. Just try to accept him. To make HIM feel more comfortable ask him about it... ask him about who he likes and stuff yhat you would ask if he hetero. Remember being gay is fine and you should not treat him differently or act in a different way around him...

Just be there for him and don't panic! Support him even if you don't approave of his choices because he's your brother and that's what siblings do. And if he asks you for advice and you don't feel comfortable answering just tell him and he'll understand. Just DON'T start a fight about why he should or shouldn't be gay because trust me, you'll lose.
Bottom line is: Just accept it.

Oh great. I might be your future brother-in-law. Be proud that your brother had the guts to come out to you.
