I haven't gone through this, but I'm really sorry you have to. I'm pansexual and I haven't come out to my parents because I know my parents won't accept it. They're always constantly trying to find me a husband. They even try to introduce me to their friends' sons to see if there's any spark between us. My mom's tried to get me to date a guy seriously ever since I turned 18. My parents are old fashioned and think the only reason one should date is to get married eventually. Breaking up is like a stain in your life you can't wash off or something. That's why I've never told them about any relationship I've had and don't plan to until I'm engaged
I second what Kisaki said, I feel like it's less troublesome if you come out to your parents about your sexuality/relationship once you're engaged but your parents shouldn't and can't do anything about your interests anyway. I've never experienced this because my parents are old-schooled and there's a huuuuge language barrier so they won't understand anyway, but if I were you, I'd ignore my parents and their childish comments and avoid talking about sexuality at all costs.
hi I'm so sorry for you to experience so thing. I'm bisexual but I haven't came out because I'm scared but I have come out to my friends, who were extremely welcoming and fine with that. I think that you need to really sit down and communication your feelings and emphasis that you like girls and them denying it is hurting you and not helping anyone. I also think you should see from their perspective why they are so "grossed out" by same sex love and see where their views and beliefs are coming from. Because you take the initiative to understand them, hopefully they will try to understand you. If not, I'm so sorry honestly I'd just kiss a girl Infront of them, say fuck it and try to find other people who support me
My mom always brag to her friends that I'm a lesbian (it always crack me up when i see their reaction) but she gently told me to get married with a man if i ever change my mind. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
All is well. Now i Think i like both man and woman. I never told my parents about my sexual preference i let them see what i am and had become i think they slowly accepts everything about me. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ fighting!
My father was the same, except that I'm aroace, saying "You're confused, you just haven't found the right person" (I'm effing 23 old man)
My advice is, just stop talking to them about it, evade the subject whenever they start, basically just live your own life without caring about what they think and once you're independant money-wise, drop the bomb again
Sure it hurts, but it'll hurt more if you keep trying to have them accept that part of yourself
Hi so I came out to my mom as a lesbian. Out of everyone, I thought she’d be the one to understand. WELL I couldn’t of been more wrong. I got a “you’re confused. You’ll realise that when you have a husband.” She was angry. REALLY angry. She then told my father who I know won’t like it (for a bit of context: we were at the train station once and walked past a gay couple. He said “gross” and when I asked what was wrong, he said “they’re both men.”) and he said the same thing as my mom. “You’re confused.” I’m not confused. I know for a fact that I like women. This was last week and now my mom will randomly say things like “when you get a husband and have a child” or “you’ve always talked about boys” even though I don’t recall ONE time when I’ve spoken about boys. Has anyone else gone through this? If so, how did you deal with it?
