Catholics - can my son's godparents both be men?
My son is going to be born in December. I have a wonderful brother-in-law and brother that I woud like to both be godparents for my son. There is no sexual undertones. But, can I have two men be the godparents of my son in the Roman Catholic Church?

No. Only one godparent is required and must be a practicing Catholic. If a second godparent is desired, that one must be of the opposite gender than the first.
But you can have as many "honorary godparents" as you want.
Pick your brother or brother-in-law and then tell the other one you are looking forward to having another child so he can be godfather to that one.

Not as far as I know.
You can only have one Godfather. You don't need to have a Godfather and a Godmother. You can choose just one, but you cannot have two Godfathers or two Godmothers.
