Parents... Oh crap...

[FriendZoneMayor]

Okay, so this is a convo my dad and I were having over facebook:

DA

Seems to me you've been posting a lot of pro gay material on your facebook page recently. This only leaves your mother and I to conclued that you are in fact gay yourself. Is this true or are you just into this liberal thinking that there are no consequences to one's actions and that they should be able to do what ever they want? I totally agree with what Uncle Mike posted about gay marriage. There are Biblical standards regarding marriage and homosexuality. That is not homophobia - this is truth and there are consequences with knowingly sinning against God's word. I also to not buy the argument that a person is born a homosexual. God would not make someone a homosexual then at the same time condemn homosexual sex. That is totally inconsistent and not Biblical.

ME:

I posted that because I have a lot of gay friends, and I completely support the LGBTQ community. As for my own sexuality, well, I really can't label it to be completely honest.

DA

There is nothing wrong with supporting your gay friends but that is different than championing their gay agenda. For crying out loud, my boss is gay and I certainly support her in my work environment - we get along great. But I don't run around saying we should legalize gay marriage, etc. As for your own sexuality - Mom and I just want you to (1) follow Biblical principles and (2) be honest with us. Sin separates us from God and we want you to be with us in Heaven someday when we are no longer on this earth. It's not just homosexuality - heterosexual sex is also a sin outside the boundries of marriage. Just because I'm heterosexual does not give me license to have sex with any woman I want. You need to come to grips with this issue and decide how you will lead your life. My prayer is that you will follow God's Biblical principle of mariage - one man/one woman.

ME:

Wait... Why are you assuming I'm having sex? I'm really confused. I'm a virgin, dad.

So the virgin part of it was a lie, but he's never gonna know that. When I read the first message, I had a panic attack and had to miss all of my afternoon activities because I was so worked up. My parents knowing= Best Case: they cut off all college funding. Worst Case: disownment.
What do I do???
Sarah (my ex and one of my bf's here) and Lilah (my bff back home) are gonna come with me on the scary day that I have to have THE TALK with my parents. I'm having them go along because Sarah is really good at explaining things, and I need Lilah for support. I'm not taking my girlfriend along because I'd be concerned for her safety

Help?!

Okay, the DA was supposed to be dad: in all caps...

Whatever the outcome, good luck. And I'm sure your parents will accept you for who you are, even if it takes them a while to see through their smoke-screen of a faith

[Troubled_Heart]

Different people have different views, that is an uncontrolable part of life and we have to accept other people's views, even if we don't agree with them and don't like them. Like Sam said, your parents will love you unconditionally and even if it does take a while, they will come round.
A lot of this comes from being uneducated in the subject, but if you look carefully in the bible you can find quotes that are 'pro' gay: Mark 7:18
He said to them, "Are you so ignorant? Don't you know that nothing that goes into a person from the outside can make him unclean?
