Joe–Bullying is done to more than just gay people or those that are siblings of gay students. Gay (or not) is not the issue here, but the bullying is and unfortunately, right or wrong, it is a fact of life. A big problem is that the parents do not do enough to help the school faculty to control the problem. It has to be reported and those parents should be going to parent/teacher meetings and it is not done by all involved. Without that it will not be toned down.
Joe, I feel for you on how you have been treated and for being attacked by you BIL, but reality is what it is. Talking does not fix it. I tried to fix a similar problem of a kid being bullied here in our school district and there were only one or two at the meeting to fix the problem. And the parents of the victim were not even there! Nothing will happen that way.
