so, my 9-year-old brother is being very ignorant and not accepting the lgbtq+ community because he doesn't know what it is, doesn't want to know, and doesn't care about whether it's important or not.
my mom's bi but doesn't know too much about the community except for what's most widely known and is supportive of the community, i'm an aromantic asexual lesbianqp demigirl who is much more involved in the community, and my dad isn't part of the community but is definitely an ally and has about the same knowledge of the community as my mom (both have been taught a bit by me, pretty much just some acronyms and stuff about my identity though).
we haven't talked to my brother about the community at all (except from the two or three mini conversations that are the reasons we know this), and we all know that if we try to talk to him about it he's gonna yell at us, cover his ears, and/or not retain any information. he does this with literally everything we try to talk to him about that he doesn't agree with.
he's really disrespectful a lot of the time and raises his voice when we ask to come in his room to take a blanket from his top bunk nobody uses, he acts like a verbally abusive parent but he's 9 years old and i think it scares all of us, but the lgbtq+ community is where i wanna try to help as my parents are already working on the other stuff (in a non-harmful way, don't worry)
so, yeah- if anyone can give me some tips, whether its for me to try to help, for me to cope with it, or whether i should just stay out of it, i'd appreciate it-
