Jesus accepts us right where we are. Should we do any less? Jesus said to hate the sin but love the sinner. What do you think about that?

I don't know what kind of family backround you have (strictly religious, very unopen etc) but there is something you can do: I would suggest you accept it, he is still the same person and you should not love him less just because he is attracted to the same sex. If this seems too hard for you there are support groups you can go to to get you through the transition. He did not ask to be this way and chances are he has been going through a lot for many years in order to build himself up to come out. Just love him like you always have and time will help you adjust to the change.

I am glad your brother trusted you enough to share this. He didn't ask to be gay, so don't be laying any of that nonsense on him.
A group called PFLAG may help you become a more educated and supportive sister.
There are so many fine gays: creative, productive, loving, caring people. I am sure your brother has at least one of these qualities you can focus on until you can hold your head up and be proud of him. Does he deserve anything less?

Well if you love your brother accept him for who he is. Tell him you do not condone his behavior, but regardless you still love hum and will continue to support him through good times(he was straight) and apparently your idea of bad (he's gay). Personally i am a straight man and my best friend is gay as well as a family relative who has shown me nothing but love for 25 years. Its okay that he is gay. Just treat him like you always have and things will be fine.

Congratulate him on his bravery in telling you and be the supportive loving sister that you have always been. Never been loving or supportive, then here is your opportunity to start. Oh, and being gay is not a problem and its certainly not YOUR problem.

Hi, well i dont think there is a problem, he is your brother and have to be with him no matter what, his sexual orientation will not change the person you have grown upwith and loved for your whole life....just try to understand him and be his brother AND friend......

It's good your brother told you. No need to say or do something special.
