Seriously I've been quite hella pissed about the hints my parents are dropping in regards to homosexuality. My parents always seemed like very open minded people, and claimed that they supported homosexuality, But as I've soon found out, They are very hypocritical. I haven't told them about my current state dating my girlfriend, But from what I've heard, I'm not allowed to be gay. From my mom's point of view, Labeling doesn't exist and that people will choose whatever they feel like choosing, quote: " some people are going to be straight to pass on their genes, and some people will be gay to make their own lives harder" She also says that she would be pissed if I ever dated a girl before college. My dad thinks that being gay is about the sex and can't think about it in a emotional sense because it's so taboo, but he did admit that he was just old school. Of course my sister nearly gave away my secret, And he angrily shouted at me "Are you gay? Are you a lesbian?" Which I denied completely. He then smiled (which sickened me) and told my sister, "See! She isn't gay!" Honestly, I just find this offensive and cruel. My girlfriend even told her parents and they were fine with it, But of course my parents are not. I feel like they would only accept it if I'm out of their house... I just feel very hurt. I can't believe that I'd have to deal with this. I feel threatened, any advise on how to deal with this? Thank you! :")
As a fellow gay person with less than accepting parents, sometimes it's easier to go along with it until you can become independent. My parents act like their accepting - their words speak volumes though.
