    I always thought that my parents were ok with people being people being gay and the LGBTQIA+ community. The other day I was talking to my family and as usual my mom was bugging me about boys and I made the comment as a "joke" to them (but you all know it was actually telling the truth) that I didn't want to date any guys in our grade at our school (keep in mind my graduating class has almost 1,000 people in it) my mom proceeded to yell at me for giving guys a hard time and I needed to give them a chance but what really got me was my dads comment he said "well the that would make you gay or well lesbian wait is the a bad word?" and then I was joking and telling my dad about me and one of my friends and our married life which was a joke and he said "so you are becoming one of those" referring to gays. I just don't really know what to do I was almost ready to come out but after those comments I am not sure.

    Usually people do accept their kids, even if theyre a lot homophobic, it is just a matter of time, some accept in seconds, some needs days, weeks, months, years or even decades. I dont think theyre homophobic in any way but not from the ones that just hugs it out right after you say it. As a closeted gay, i cant just tell you to come out but i would say that it is alright and if they were explicitly open to them in other comments, then itshould be fine.
