I came out to my family and friends publicly a few months ago, and although my parents say they don't care what I like, I know that it bothers them. I can literally feel their eye rolls whenever I talk about a girl I like, or even mentioning the words "gay" or "homosexual." They say that sexuality is a choice. That I choose to be this way. They say everyone has a choice, and you're not born that way. Why on earth would I choose to be terrified for two years about people finding out. Why on earth would I choose to be disgusted every time I looked at myself because I felt there was something "wrong with me." Why on EARTH would ANYONE choose to be bullied endlessly, be murdered, be OUT LAWED be MURDERED, just to be considered "different". My parents and the rest of my family are so ignorant and stubborn that they refuse to believe me or listen to me whenever I try to EXPLAIN that, no, sexuality isn't a choice, and there is more than just two sexualities. I'm out, but at the same time I'm not; and it kills me so much.
