I have to agree with the majority of this thread. Back when I was in high school I was friends with lots of gay people who hadn't come out (I was in choir and school musicals afterall). But that didn't make me any less their friend. Those people were in high school. Your step-brother is 12 and it already seems like your singling him out and labeling him as different. Just accept him for who he is.
Okay, maybe you have accepted it, but his whole family hasn't. What's the big deal? Let them come to terms on their own time. If he finally comes out and they can't accept it, maybe they need to take a look at themselves. I don't know.
Eitherway, don't make a big deal out of it. My sister is gay and I love her the same as I ever did. Knowing the was gay changed nothing other than the people she was dating.
