Tbh female homosexuality has been more accepted than male homosexuality through history, see laws that criminalise gay men but say nothing about lesbians. It stems from not seeing women’s sexuality as real or sexual like men’s, but I believe is the difference here. If you rely on your parents don’t confront them about your brother, as they’d likely get angry and cut you off. Do you talk to your brother? If yes I’d discuss this with him

like should i confront them about my brother, or leave the situation alone? i feel terrible for how they treated and talked about him and i want to try to bridge them together, but i don’t know if he’s willing. they also haven’t showed interest in fixing the relationship. he came out at 20 and actually had a good relationship with them, but they just cut him out too easily afterwards. i want to ask them why they can accept me why not him? they’re religious so it’s a touchy subject.

So unfortunately queer women are typically more accepted that queer men. Sometimes it’s due to gender norms.
