Ridiculous!

It is indicative of a very sad state of affairs, socially, that you even feel the need to ask such a question.

I think it's beautiful when brothers hug each other. Mine do. It was your instinct to hug the brother you thought you had lost. It's completely natural. And in case you care, most women would think highly of you if they see you hug a brother you genuinely love. It is so NOT gay.

My mother says it's the best in the world when she sees us hugging.

My elder brother and I hugged him the first time we saw him after the crash and have kept the habit.

Is it acceptable? We just try not to do it in public or in front of our grandfather who doesn't find it too funny.
Being from a Hispanic family I really do not understand this! Kissing and hugging your brothers is just a way of showing your love and appreciation for them.
How is this even remotely Gay? It isn't some sexual gesture!

wow, I didn't consider that hugging my brother was gay. I've never sucked a c*** in my life, (not that there's anything wrong with that) but apparently hugging my brother could be considered gay by someone. Seriously. . .WTF?!?!?

Oh, and I suppose I should consider not hugging my two sons, either. I bet they will be well-adjusted when they get older if I don't make them gay by showing physical affection. Glad I found this post.

No, I hug my grown up brothers frequently.

Open mouth kiss, definitely.

My mother is Italian and my father is German. We're used to getting it a lot from our mother of course but between us is kind of strange.

Hm. Do you have some concerns about your sexuality? If hugging a male relative feels "strange," perhaps you should look deeper inside yourself. That strange feeling might be telling you something.

BTW, why is gay bad? I don't fear ordering tea and biscuits for fear of being labeled English.

If they think I'm gay, then I'd be pleased they thought I was a fashionable dresser, with good taste, the ability to dance and upwardly mobile. (Yes, I know I'm stereotyping, but it's the only way the humor could work)
