In short, because I don't want to overwhelm you with drama, my brother is gay. And he thinks that the Bible's text has been warped and messed up since they put all the letters together all those years ago.
I, of course, know it's not true. What do you do in a situation like this. He won't listen to reasoning. He still claims to be Christian.

Do some research on the Dead Sea Scrolls and it becomes evident that the Old Testament we have today is virtually identical to the Tanach used by the Hebrews and hasn't been corrupted. There are also plenty of manuscripts of the New Testament that have been dated contemporary to the life of the Apostles and the Early Church. The Bible hasn't been corrupted.
However, if he won't listen to reasoning no matter what you say, there's not much you can do other than pray for him. Don't hate your brother, but don't get used to his choice. In this modern age there are plenty of people who claim to be Christians yet aren't. Continue to pray for him and explain that if he doesn't believe the Bible when it talks about homosexuality, how can he trust the Bible when it talks about Jesus Christ dying for the remission of sins? If he can't accept the Bible, he can't accept Christ. My suggestion is to prove to him that the Bible is correct about matters such as Creation, and that the Bible is correct in other places as well. God is certainly able to preserve His own Word.
