Today, I was told by my mom that I'm a terrible person because I won't help my brother get a girlfriend. He's gay, but won't tell her because he thinks it's hilarious when she yells at me. FML

Mom: Help your brother get a girlfriend. OP: I...can't. Mom: You're a terrible person for not helping. OP: No, it's complicated, mom! Mom: How could it be complicated? Find a girl for him to ****! OP: Guy. Mom: What?? OP: I said "gay." Shit, I mean "guy." Shit, I mean..

Don't out him. If you don't, worst case scenario is you get yelled at. If you do, worst case scenario is he could be thrown out of the house, or she could tell someone and it could spread and he could be beaten or killed for being gay. Hilarious, right?

That's ridiculous. Even if he were straight, why should it be YOUR responsibility to find your brother a date? He's a big boy, he can get one himself.

And that's when you start setting him up on dates!

Wrong. You don't just out someone like that. If someone doesn't want out of the closet, don't force them. Even if what he's doing is wrong, and kinda mean, that does NOT give you the right to tell your parents something that should only be told by the person that's dealing with it, UNLESS they SPECIFICALLY ask you to out them for them. And even then, they should still be there when you do it. Otherwise, it's highly disrespectful.

If he were straight why would it be your job to get him a girlfriend?

Then tell your mom herself, if he does that to you, take revenge. If mom's ok with it, then search for emberassing things on his computer or laptop and then let your mom use it
