Hey man, you're not alone in this. Even if you feel rejected by your own family, you will always find people who think like you and support you. You'll get through this stronger and wiser. ;)
And since this is the first time I've posted in this thread: I'm an 37 year old gay mexican who used to browse GAF many, many years ago.
Thanks.
(if you didn't already know, I eventually came out a week later, IIRC)
And as an update, I had a "talk" with my dad tonight. He doesn't think I'm actually gay because I've never displayed an "feminine" qualities. We had a long, heated discussion but I sort of ended it when he said that I need to ask God for forgiveness. I responded, "MY God has no problem with it." And we kept going back and forth and I just kept saying that my God has no problem, and then he hung up (I was also on the phone with my mom who was in another room).
My mom seems to be a little more open-minded about it. My mom allowed for the opportunity to "come around" and more understanding and accepting. She was a lot more rational....but understandably, still in shock. But for now, neither of them want anything to do with any boyfriend that I have. And that's fine. But my mom said that there's a chance she could be willing to do that, just not now.
