If you had a gay brother

Here's where there's a disconnect for me. How can one have a meaningful relationship in a gay relationship? Of course, it is also difficult to have a meaningful hetero relationship, but as RedHead points out, what do our wishes or hopes matter for extended family members?

We can't control relationships, we can't affect them, so why would it matter one or the other? Shouldn't we just hope they are financially solvent, physically healthy and leave it at that. If those two aspects are in order, usually people will find enough to do.
