just brothers

like throughout the entire series sam is consistently teased for acting gay or being effeminate, his entire character arc is centered around feeling ostracized and different from everyone around him, not fitting in with his family, and his desperation to be normal instead of the "freak" he sees himself as. he leaves his family with no support when he becomes an adult so he can be free to live his own life and is told to never come back. he is seen as inherently evil based on something he had no control over and labeled an abomination by the entirety of heaven. he's viewed himself as "unclean" since childhood and later becomes obsessed with purification and atonement for his sins
