Parents. Need Help/Advice

[beht]

There are lots of good comments in this thread. I would add that as much as it hurts that your parents don't accept this and clearly have huge problems about it, try to remember that it doesn't mean they don't accept YOU. It's homosexuality they don't accept and there IS a difference. I think sometimes that there's a little too much emphasis in present society that states that anyone who doesn't accept homosexuality is horrible, discriminatory, etc. While this is basically true on one level, I think it's important for people to remember that for many of those people who are against homosexuality, it's a deep-rooted thing that they find very hard to change. It doesn't mean they're bad people each time - it can just mean that they've been conditioned in many ways too numerous to mention here.
One of the BEST ways to make someone like that change IS to have one of their friends or family be gay. They might not accept it at first, but over time, their attitudes DO change. Sure, in many cases, the attitudes don't change, but when they do, it takes time.
One thing you will eventually show your parents whether you try or not is that their idea of what a gay person is, is stereotypical. As you said, you don't "act gay" etc. They will eventually notice this!
I would say try to keep a balance of not arguing with them about it at every turn, but at the same time, not allowing yourself to be trampled upon too. One thing that does NOT help people accept gays is to have it shoved in their faces all the time, so go easy - and then again, of course they need some exposure to it! So my idea is: balance!
Good luck!
