I also would assume Chinese or Korean, but knowing what asian race would help because traditions are vastly different between asian cultures.
Either way, it's a horrible horrible situation to live in and their opinions are not based on fact, not even an iota of truth in their prejudices, so their opinions have been based on propaganda (China and North Korea are renown for this), and not on education. I believe at one point intravenous drug users were responsible for the spread of HIV more so than the Gays.
Some people are just so set in their ways that there will never every be anyway to change their way of thinking, and this is something that you are going to have to rtake into account.
I would suggest leaving brochures around for them to read on GLBT issues, maybe even a leaflet on PFLAG so they can in their own time connect with other parents of gay and lesbian teens...but something tells me that this may not be a good idea and may inflame issues or create new issues with your parents.
I would say, as tough as it seems, live your life the way that you feel happy and comfortable, if people don't accept your sexuality, then that is not your problem. Just DON'T flaunt your sexuality, just be yourself, they may come around and start to accept or open the lines of communication.
