hey hun. well here is something that i can totally help you with!! my father is gay and to be honest with you.. i wouldnt have it any other way! people use to talk about it all the time and say things, at first when i was younger it bothered me alot. but now that im 16 it doesnt even phase me when they say something bad. my dad is the greatest man that i know and because of the fact that he is gay i have become the strongest person ever. heck that is one reason why i love to talk to people and help them with their problems. i am so lucky to have him in my life and i know that you feel the same way about your brother. i am the least superficial (caring what others think about me or my looks or anything) person that you could meet. i am myself and happy with life. if my dad wasnt gay i fear that i would be the stuck up cheerleader that gives the bad reputation to people like me. i am a former cheerleader but i wasnt the ditzy blonde bitch. i look at life and the fact that my ddad is gay as a miracle. i can proudly say that i love and accept him for who he is. not only can i accept him, i can accept myself for who i am. so what i think you should do, is be happy for your brother and be glad that he can be who he wants to be. continue being supportive and stop worrying what others think! be proud of him! love him!

Don't do anything. You can't change your brother. You can't change ignorant people's minds. Show them it doesn't bother you when they say stupid things about your brother. Eventually they'll stop. (I'm sure there only doing that to piss you off anyway) Or you can let them meet your brother. Once they see how a cool guy your brother is, they'll stop.

Well if I were you I'd tell them to shut the f*ck up and get a life.. say that they have no reason to be making fun of you.. when it's your own brother's choice.. and tell them that their just jealous because he doesn't like them haha..

Tell them to shove it up yours. They are probly way immature and you probably can't do anything. Go along with me. Next time somebody says that say "Yea, now we can look at boys together!" make a joke out of it. They will enventully leave you alone because you 'show' that it dosn't matter if they say that. It will work trust me. Tell me if it ends up working!

jazzified answered Thursday December 2 2004, 8:28 pm:
You should ignore people who use your gay brother to make fun of you. Maybe they're joking, who knows, but as far as I know I'd be mad if they continued to bring up my family's sexual preference. If it continues to bother you you should tell those people who continuously go "Ohh your brother's gay!" that it does, because if they think that you're cool with it then they will probably keep doing it.

learn to accept your brother. tell others that even if they don't accept your brother's lifestyle, there's no reason to voice their sheltered and oblivious opinion to you.

your brothers sexuality shouldnt have anything to do with the way you treat other people so why should they say something to you? tell them that if they have a problem with it then talk to him and leave you out of it.

Ignore them! There is nothing wrong with being gay! gay guys are usually nicer to girls then straight guys. you have people who are insecre about themselves so to make them look 'cool' they make fun of ur brother. ignore them because you are stronger then they are. :)

Erinn_the_bamf answered Thursday December 2 2004, 7:54 pm:
Try to stick up for him. Tell the people that make fun of him tell them that making fun of him is the same thing as in the 50s when white people discriminated aganist black people. Just blow them off. Besides, if there are a lot of people who think your brother is cool then focus on what those people have to say not what the others do. I hope I helped!

Just tell them that just because your brother is gay doesn't mean that anything is wrong with him or you. Tell them that he is a great person and that it doesn't matter that hes gay.

well those who make fun of you because your BROTHERS gau are just mental... that is just sick of them. i think gay guys can make the best of friends... just ignore those people or stand up to them i mean if they have to digso deep as your brothers gayness to insult you then there must not be much more for them to make fun about.

zapreth answered Thursday December 2 2004, 5:38 pm:
Next time it does bother you, stop and think about it. What particular situation are you in? Who said it? Who is near you? Was it said to tease or to hurt? Hurt you or your brother? When you know when you get upset sometimes and not others it will make it easier for you to decide if something needs to be done or not. Luck.

Okay honestly, that's so fucking fucked up that people would a)judge YOU by your brother b) make fun of homosexuality and c)...i ran out of things to say! I honestly think you should report them if it bothers you a lot. Its called H-A-R-R-A-S-S-M-E-N-T! a lot of women need to LEARN and UNDERSTAND this word..tsk tsk tsk
hope i helped

Politics_Junkie answered Thursday December 2 2004, 5:02 pm:
Just shout back at them: "Ohhh...your brother is straight! Weird!" Seriously though, those people are fools. Just be proud of your brother for being honest about who he is and avoid people who think otherwise. People who would say those kinds of things to you wouldn't make good friends, so it's a handy way to tell who's not worth your time.

Hey sweeti!
Hun... don't even worry about what people think! That's really stupid of them to make fun of somebodys sexuality.. when it's not even their problem. Be the bigger person in it, and just let them make an idiot of themselves. Don't take it. Ya know? People are immature and mean, but that's just how it is. Don't listen to them and you'll be fine :).

Well, I really don't see a problem with being gay. I mean, it's no big deal! When someone says that, just rolld your eyes and say "grow up". then just walk away like you don't care. they'll realize they can't give you that crap. Don't worry, being gay really isn't that big of a deal. Don't let it bother you, because the kids that make fun are nothing but immature loserz.

Miss_Megan answered Thursday December 2 2004, 4:53 pm:
Tell them to mind there own business and try to ignore what they have to say, The worst kind of poeple are people who make fun of someones sexuality. And if your brothers happy being the way he is then more power to him especially if hes going to come out in the open with it b/c its hard for some poeple to do that.

People just aren't as accepting about his lifestyle as other people. So what he is gay. Don't let them take advantage of you and your brother just because of his path he has chosen. When people do make fun of you, just smile and tell them well at least he isn't as immature as you. and then just simply walk away. Avoiding it is also another opption. Good Luck!

well in our society today theres not really anything you can do. But if people would make comments jus be like " yeah so? " even if it does bother u pretend it doesnt. As long as hes comfortable with being gay then you shouldnt care about what others think.

i know it seems bad, but tell the people off! it's not fair that you should be made fun of for your brother's sexuality. tell him that if he wants to be gay, it's his thing, not yours. just yell at them, you shouldn't be yelled at for that.
