As a men myself and pretty much Bisexual, I can't help but feel it's impossible to reach out to them about this. They just really won't listen. Their homophobic and don't want me interacting with anyone else unless it's a woman.
I think you should keep it to yourself as it would be for your benefit. You can come out when you can support yourself if you want to, don't risk anything for now.
What's the point of burdening them with your sexual preference? If you know it will upset them, do the right thing and keep it to yourself.
Yes, people should repress a major part of their life and being so as to not upset others. The onus is totally on the person doing nothing wrong, and not on bigots to actually think about how their ignorance impacts others.
Like you clearly repress your arseholery and bigorty, because it upsets people...
And sexuality is clearly less a part of someone's life than attitude and behaviour...
I can relate. I still don't come out to everyone. But I promise you'll be happier when you do.
It's up to you who you tell about your sexual preferences. If you do end up with a same sex partner long term, it may be hard to keep that quiet, though.
it's probably not a good idea right now to tell them, as they could kick you out of house. maybe once you're old enough and with a stable job you can tell them, at least by then you can fend for yourself if they do try to force you out
It's not their business, you are not required to divulge your sexual interests to anyone. If you do and your parents are homophobic, they may kick you out, or they may just decide to start telling others about your private business. I have been a crossdressing male since age 13, I choose who I wanted to tell and let in on my very private secrets of my life. Some have found out by accident, some have chosen to tell others. I had a roommate walk in on me once when I wasdressed in lingerie, nightgown, and not how I wanted anyone to see, unless it was a girlfriend. A year later I found out he had told pretty much everyone he knew what he had seen. So I went and kicked his ass, and people didn't treat me any different than before. I no longer associate with him.
If that's you are, you have to face the conversation and if your father is homophobic, I suggest consulting a psychologist to fund a better way to go with the conversation.
