[UPDATE] I'm coming out to my parents in a few minutes.
Forgive me for the delay in responding to this story. I had to postpone my coming out until tonight.Sadly, things didn't go as planned.Both my parents are very religious and have raised me in the same way. They are a mixed couple, black father and white mother who have been akin to similar oppressions that have plagued modern society. But they don't see it that way.The first thing that they mentioned was that it's a sin. They say they still love me but cannot accept that I will be living a sinful life (I told them it's not something I want to change). And they mentioned there was no signs to them, even though I'm often quickly labeled by strangers as a homosexual. They also believe it's "a choice to choose sin."My mother instantly thought it was her fault. She felt she babied me too much and that my father (military man) didn't have enough influence in my life. She mentioned things from when I was child about telling me to "play with girls because boys are bad." So that's why she felt as though it's her fault.To add to this, I'm moving to New York City in six days. When initiated the coming out... you know, the whole "I've got to tell you something," they were hoping it was that I wasn't going. So I now know they don't want me going. Also, they had been "praying about what they should give me as a going away present." They got me a fucking bible.I'm just shook because I thought it would have gone much smoother. I didn't get that sense of relief from telling them. If anything, I now feel bad for telling them. They said they're going to seek council within their church and wanted to call the senior pastor to discuss this with him in the moment--I put a stop to that. We sat and talked about this for a couple hours now and I still don't know what to think. They have literally always been supportive of me so it's weird to feel this from them. Now all they care about is not my well being, but how I'm going to be judged by the lord... They asked me almost nothing that you would expect after coming out. No, how long have I know. No, whys you wait so long. None of that.So whatever. I'm pissed that it happens his way but it did so now I'm just rolling with it 🤷🏾♂️TLDR: They still love me but aren't accepting of it based on the premise of it being a "sinful" life.Link to Previous Post
