You can't. Sorry, but if you wish to live a homosexual lifestyle, you're going to have to deal with raised eyebrows just as much as everyone has to deal with you.

You are addressing the question as if it is something you need to do. Have you met with a counselor?
It is very possible your family may already know or suspect, maybe you could leave a book on the table - such as "The Other Side of the Closet".
Being judgmental is generally because people simply do not understand, and believe it is a choice, so educate them.
Good luck to you

You may have to come out to one family member first so you have that person help you talk it over with the family with you when you tell them all. If they are that judgmental, do not o it alone.

Sorry, I don't think there is any way around that. You will have to grow a thicker skin unfortunately to deal with judgment from many people, worst of all your family.

you cant its simple we are all judged for everything we do if we come out we stand to lose our family and friends if we dont come out then we are living a lie if we are in a relationship we are trying to live a hetro life if we are single we are living fast and loose and when the smoke clears people still say being gay is a choice with all the perks we live with if its simply a choice who would choose it

well, THis may be a little different but i just recently started allowing people to see me crossdressed. Most people dont say much. MY kids/ex-wife all know. My daughter and her friends even shop with me. The trick is to start with people that should support you LIke i did. Then slowly spread the word. If your friends cant support you then find new friends. Remember that whom ever you like or what ever you choice to wear is your business. Be happy and be comfortable.

how old are you ?
if you are younger , i know this may be harder, but, as a parent i would love my child no matter what , this is who you are , and you have to expect if they are on the more conservative side to be shocked or disappointed, eventualy they will get over it, but dont hide who you are, and they will in the end respect you for being so honest about it, and by the way its okay to be gay or lesbian , its nothing new, its been arround even when they were your age

Be comfortable inside your own skin. Family isn't everything. I already know that. That is why I choose my family, I have been doing that since I was 10 yrs old.

People are always going to judge you. If it's not because you're gay it would be for something else.
You don't need other people's approval. Have confidence in yourself that you're a good person and that is NOT determined by your sexuality.

Why care what they think? If they disown you..let them. Bring up all the times they said they loved you. That might get em. Good Luck!!!
PS. Don't let what others say, including family, regarding your orientation get you down.

You can't. It's impossible.
Someone will always judge you, on this or any other aspect of your life. Your job is to live your life in a way that's honest to yourself.
