At least stand up and be counted now. If you find out a brother is gay and have a big problem, then you are not really his brother.

How lame is this? Why don't you just request that IHQ recognizes all African-American Theta Chis or all special needs Theta Chis or born-again Christian Theta Chis. Whether you agree with the homosexual lifestyle or not is a separate issue from the brotherhood of the fraternity. When you break down members based on any arbitrary category, you begin to fragment and make a mockery of the concept of brotherhood.
I have brothers in my own chapter who are openly gay. I don't agree with their lifestyle and have been very candid with them about it. But, I love them as brothers of Theta Chi apart from the choice they've made. To me, it's the same as if they were fans of a sports team that I personally hated, for example. When you differentiate brothers for one reason or another, you make divisions in the very thing that unites us.
If you think one should not be called brother because he happens to disagree with your deviant and unnatural lifestyle, I submit that it's YOU who are not worthy of the Theta Chi name.
