I think the OP wants it to be known because he doesn't want to have to wonder if his brothers would still accept him if they knew he was gay and keep hiding his orientation. Just my guess.
I get it.

I'm not saying that this is anything comparable, but sometimes I wish I can just wear a sign that tells people that I am sick versus having to worry about how I am going to tell one or many people, or that the truth is going to come out in some weird awkward way. It's never an "easy" conversation.
