last year i finally came out of the closet and now my family has been doing everything in their power to get me back to living the life they want me to live. I finally put my foot down about it and they have stopped for now. but they will start coming back at it again. any suggestions on how to handle it or anyone going through similar situations?

I don't think I can help, but I know that i will be in your situation after I come out. I know my parents will do everything they can to make me "normal". Make me read Leviticus and all that jazz.

Ugh, some people just do not understand that you can't change people in that way. I didn't come out until I was 29, and my family and friends couldn't have been more supportive. I'm sorry that your family won't accept you the way you are sad

I went through the same thing and finally got them to leave me alone after I sarted dating this chick for a while. (2 years) and once they realized that i was serious about it and wasnt going to quit or that it wasnt a FAD then they left me alone. almost. i still get punted at every once in a while but other than that its fine now.

Make sure they are aware it isn't a phase you're going through. Bring boys home and make sure your parents see the affection you have for them.
Ignore any rude comments, and laugh along with any rude jokes. If they see they are not getting to you, they are less likely to continue their outlandish behavior. If they offer you a book to read about a homosexual "coming into the light", comment on how you read it and thought the book was written by a bigot straight man pretending to be homosexual, and was simply trying to give other bigots false hope. Or, simply comment that you thought the book was pure trash
