Do they suspect?

they might of just said that stuff because you said you supported the oreo thing and they themselves dont. they might not of guessed your lifestyle from you just saying one thing.

when/if you come out your parents could actually turn all their feelings around and might support you. (it happened to me because i was a child of my parents and not someone else if that makes sense.... although admittidly it did take an awful long time). rare, but it does happen.

you can have a boyfriend, you can even date in secret which is what a lot of people who arent out do. you dont have to say he is your boyfriend, just a friend will do. parents dont tend to notice that hanging out with a friend of same sex = gay. however if you brought him home that might be a different matter, depending on how your parents are with that sort of thing. you dont have to be alone and what your parents told you is not what YOU have to do. they are your parents, yes they have some form of control over you but they dont have any say over what you cant actually control which is your sexuality.

they are entitled to their opinion even if it isnt a good one, but thats it. they cant tell you how to live your life.

if you want to come out then do, maybe write a short letter if you cant do it face to face but when youre ready. or you could drop hints every now and then and see how they take it.

(*hug*)

 

Hmm, I think that your mom just wanted to find a way to bring up gays and have a sort of "life lesson." But there's a strong possibility that they suspect, they are your parents after all!

And just to throw in my opinion: I hate it when people say that gays should just live alone all their lives. How would they feel if somebody told them that? They're married, so obviously they weren't content with being alone...

 

You deserve to be happy too.
I can guarantee that if they figure it out that late, it will be the least of your problem. You may even tell them yourself beforehand.

 

wow this post is making me some upset So beleeping what if your gay you deserve love and respect * angry face * i love orieos btw

 

Oh, they definitely suspect. They said that gays should stay away from other gays, and that you should stay away from gays. They think that that "lifestyle" will be a "temptation" for you.

Do you think they would refuse to pay for school if they knew, or something like that?

 

I think it's so strange for others to expect gay people to live alone for the rest of their lives. Homosexuals have feelings too? Just like straight people. They don't think being gay is a choice but that they are just that way. But they don't seem to think god has anything to do with them being just that way. It sounds to me that they suspect. They might think you're gay, they can accept that but they can't accept you being with someone. If you come out it might take time for them to fully accept you. Then again, it might be random chatting. But seriously now.. they said they don't think it's a choice, if they doubt you're gay, they said that because if they said being gay is a choice they know "you won't believe them" so they said something else to get you thinking. Your parents are trolling you lmao.

 

Hm, I've read the same thing before, about hiding your sexuality and not acting on it. You know, the whole "God doesn't hate homosexuals, he hates the sin they commit." I honestly couldn't do it. It would be like being "forever alone." No sex and no love. I thought about doing it once and then I met this amazing girl that I Developed feelings for. Yeah, forever alone, fat chance of that. Not only that, temptation of all these sexy people gay and straight.

But anyway, it sounds like your parents are warning you. Not outright saying they know your gay, but hinting at it and letting their opinions be known. I mean come on, "rainbow oreo." Everyone knows that the rainbow represents the LGBTQ community. That was screaming gay cookie.
"Hey, Bobby, come here. What do you think of this rainbow cookie?"
"I-uh, well, it's very colorful."
"*insert gay rant here*"

 

Well in that case is sounds merely coincidental lol

 

So because she initiated a conversation with you about the support of the gay community, despite her already disapproving holds no indication to you? I'm with Ianthe, I'm pretty sure they suspect. If they won't pay for your college because of this though then I'd advice waiting until you've got your degree first.
