they are going to have to accept you the way you are
it may take some time
i hope you have someone close to stay with
like a family member or close friend
suggest that you all go to counseling so they can try to understand what you are going thru
good luck to you

I hate to say this but your family will probably never accept you. I know that sounds harsh but that whole "they're your family and they love you no matter what.." crap doesn't apply to all families. It doesn't even apply to most of them. If they threw you out of the house for it then don't bring it up again. You're not going to change their minds. If you still want a relationship with them then you need to keep your sexuality seperate from your family.
I'm not saying you should be straight either though, please understand that. I'm a bisexual woman from a very christian family and I have seen other members of my family ostracized simply because there was suspiscion that they might be gay. It's very sad and I try to encourage them to keep an open mind about people, but you can't force someone to be understanding. The way I deal with it is to keep my private life very private. I hope your situation works out for you. Above all, don't let anyone make you feel ashamed of who you are, no matter what. Good luck.

I think you need to have to sit down and have a personal conversation with your family, just tell them you have something to tell them and it'll only take a minute.
Just sit down and reassure them that you're still their little girl and reassure your siblings that you're still the same person that you were before you found out that you decided to open up to them.
They'll warm up to you and accept you soon after. A lot of gay and bisexual people go through this phase upon coming out but their family comes to a realization soon after.

My little sister is a lesbian and for about 1 year my mom would not talk to her at all. Eventually mom came around and talked to her and they agreed to disagree. Mom never approved of the lifestyle but did approve of her daughter. Remind your family that you are family and that you love them and respect their feelings you ust don't agree with them. What goes on behind closed doors is NO-ONE elses business. Good Luck!!

They're probably not going to accept it since they had such a radical reaction. You might try writing them a letter. Good luck.
