why do my parents keep trying to make me straight (im gay btw)?

Answer 1

Because when they raised you, they had expectations. Watching their grandchildren grow up, having you and your lovely wife over for Christmas, seeing you fit perfectly into a loving world that would embrace you. Instead, you're getting into a life that many parents see as solitary, dangerous, and fruitless (no pun intended). Make them see that you can still lead the life they had hoped for you, just with a man by your side.

Answer 2

Because they love you! Simple....they love you, and they are having problems accepting that you are gay. I have 2 kids, both are straight, but I raised both of them, that it's ok, whatever they do and whoever they are it's ok. A lot people can't accept the gay life style, to them it's immoral and unnatural. I say I am blessed because my kids are straight, but it's not because I don't approve of gays, it's because it's a rough world out there for gay people still. I have several gay friends, both sexs. I have a couple of friends that are going through sex changes. I would hurt for my child if they were gay, because people judge with harsh hearts and closed minds.

Think of your parents feelings. Are they open minded at all? If they aren't, you maybe the first gay person they have ever been around in person. If you could change yourself, if could be straight, would you? If so, tell your parents that. I have talked to several young men and women in your position, and the parents keep thinking it was a "phase" or that they could switch back to "normal". For some parents this fact not fiction they think you can just stop being gay, they don't seem to understand....you are gay. There's nothing anyone can say or do to change that. That's truth. Please talk to them, and tell them that you love them, and this who you are. It's going to change, and it's not going away. Ask them what can you do to help them come to terms with the fact that their son is gay! Ask them, respect them and maybe the healing can start for all of you...

God bless us all................

Answer 3

If you ever have kids, will you let them jump off of a mountain just to see if it would hurt, or would you let them go into a burning building knowing there was no way for them to get out? well your parents most likely see the whole picture,That picture ends when Christ returns, and the good and the evil will be parted left and right, one will go to heaven, the other to hell, with no way out. Ive never read any Bible that teaches homosexuality, If you know of one please tell me the name of it, i would like to read what it say, but the bible that I read teaches against it.I did hear on the news how that its possable that someone could have been a twin, and the one twin was inside the other, which caused 2 different DNAs but with so many people claiming to be gay these days I dought that is the reason for you feelings. I don`t have the answers, I love everyone, Im not saying your not gay, Im just saying, that my Bible says its an abomination, and I have to tell you the truth as I see it, or I wouldn`t be much of a christian. I believe if we were suppose ot be with the same sex, or any sex, we would all be able to carry babies, and that includes men, because God said be fruitful and multiply.

Answer 4

It's something hard for a lot of people to grasp, especially for parents because they probably were dreaming about you getting married and having kids and all that stuff and when you told them, those dreams they dreamt of for years were crushed in a second. You should understand that it's hard for them to grasp and comprehend. Give it some time, maybe you need to get away from them for a little while so they can talk amongst themselves before addressing you.

People tend to do better if they know better. Explain to them that a homosexual person can't turn into a heterosexual person, just like the heterosexual person can't become homosexual. Try to find something they can understand like that and relate to it. There's also a book out that they might want to read. I read it because I want to know more about this, but I didn't read all of it. What I did read, however, was good stuff, so the book is "Is it a Choice?" and I forget the author.

I wish you all the best. Hang in there. A very special teacher of mine once told me, "Anyone can be negative, that's easy. But it takes effort to be positive."

Answer 5

Unfortunately that's the way it is. Are you close to your parents? If you are gay, then that's the way you are. There is nothing wrong with that. Guys can be just as soft and gentle, and have real nice curves, and can be more honest and sensitive. According to edon5@verizo, it's against nature. So what! Two guys loving each other is a hell of a lot better than hetros getting married for their fourth, fifth, sixth time?

Answer 6

They don't like you're lifestyle.It's hard for a lot of people to swallow two guys or two girls doing it.I won't go into details, ok ? It's against nature. I won't preach, but why would you want to be with a guy when women are so soft and gentle, nice curves, and smooth out the rough edges on us guys. Hmmmmmmm Maybe that was the creator's intentions.

Answer 7

some parents can't accept that their child is gay and think that it's a phase or something they can cure ... depending on how you came out can have something to do with it. They may of thought you weren't serious. Good Luck!!

Answer 8

because it is every parents dream to have their kid married ( to opposite sex and have kids . give them time they will come around they love you.

Answer 9

maybe becouse they dont like gay people, no offence intended
