I understand the whole issue of being confortable with them (actually not personaly I don't because I'm not a guy so I can't fully understand what living with a gay guy and being male is like) and I'm certain it must be difficult. However I highly doubt you and every singe one of your brothers is 100% alike in every way. There has to be some differences amongst you and your brothers whether great or not.
Until I see that sort of issue actually happen, and not just forum posts saying "we had a brother who everyone loved and then he came out and stayed exactly the same," it's not worth hypothetically discussing. No, theoretically the label shouldn't matter, but I've HONESTLY never seen a gay guy with a personality that would fit into a standard fraternity or who I would believe would even enjoy the experience. I'm sure they can find a place to belong, and I wish them well, but it wouldn't work well in a typical fraternity.
