Hetero Pandas, what questions would you like to ask a member of the LGBTQ+ community?

My brother looked up something bad (p****) and my dad didn't mention it. My dad did ask if he liked boys and my brother said no. He is bisexual (liking boys and girls). I asked him why he didn't tell dad he was bi and then he started to yell at me. Why didn't he confess?
I'm biromantic asexual, I understand. He was probably too scared to come out.
I'm biromantic asexual too, and I'm too scared to come out cus my parents are anti-lgbtq :')

maybe your dad is homophobic? or your brother just wants to come out when he feels comfortable with it. It can be pretty scary coming out, even when the person isn't homphobic/transphobic.
my dad really hates gay people

So I'm not LGBTQ but I really support them. How can I show my support
honestly most of us don't want to be overly supported and treated like we are more. A lot of us (like me) just want to be treated like normal people, because that's what we are. but standing up to homophobes/transphobes even if you're not lgbtqia+ is always a good thing.
I have a genuine question: why do people want their coming-out to not be a big deal? I saw a few comments saying "just say OK and move on with your day." To me, it would make more sense to say that's great, I'm glad you can trust me with this or something like that if the person isn't out to everyone yet. Because that's super brave, and I feel like just saying OK kind of ruins it for the person. Maybe if someone is openly LGBTQ+, just saying OK should be fine; but if you're one of the first people they come out to, it's a pretty big deal. Any advice?
I guess because they dont want to be made to feel different, If you just say ok and move on with your day it makes them feel acepeted because your not making them feel like being lgbtq+ is strange or a big deal. I still agree though that you I would rather be told that its great or thanked for telling them. (idk if that made sense)
