How to watch a brother die by Michael Lassell

This poem develops the topic of homosexually and the factors are associated with it. In this case, the author is implies that he has not good relation with his brother because he is homosexual. The author suffered from homophobia to a point that he avoid his brother just because he choose a different path for his life. Michael have a standard family with wife a kids while his brother has a lover that is taking care of him in the hospital. My question is: It is not that love? rewardless of standards in society. He realized that he must go where his brother is dying to spend last days of his brother’s life. The author stayed at his brother side wating to be forgiven. When he knew his brother's lover, he understood that love not only is part of opposite sex relation, but can be expressed by people of the same sex. People should love other for what they are, not for what we want them to be. The author should never have destroy the feelings between them. It is ignorance not allowed or accepted people that have sexual preferences with people of their same sex.
