you can out your self to your parents if you choose. I would not at this point because they can not contribute to your emotional well being. Do one thing at a time, concentrate on school and being by your self in the world. instead build a group of supportive friends around you. become independent, for example; if you have 2-3 weeks between semesters you dont have to stay at your parents house all the whole time.

While at school look up the lgbt center on campus. There was some gayspeak posts on gay friendly colleges, as a freshman not every student and not every staff member is supportive.

you dont really owe you parents anything in comparison of how much you need to self love at this point in your life. If they are especially homophobic they are unsure of their own sexuality? After all parents are just people with fears and ignorance just like any of us. So they used a more narrow approach to life to get by and raise a family. It worked didnt it?

“ ... I am just like every other guy I hunt and fish. Hell, I even drive a truck haha. I too want a family. ...

find your self effeminate or masculine with out being driven by internal homophobic tendencies. be totally integrated into the hetro world or flaming. but find your self as something you love to be.
