If you are sensitive to their jokes then they should make an effort to be a little easier on you. However, you should count your blessings that they love and accept you and are able to joke around with you. Try to give them a little credit too..maybe ease up on being so sensitive. When I told my mom that I was a lesbian I finished the confession with..."and it's all your fault". She cracked up laughing and all tension was erased. My family and I joke about it often and I enjoy it. I do realize that not everyone copes the same way though. Perhaps the problem actually lies within you. It doesn't sound like you have fully accepted who you are and I know that's rough at a young age. Be proud of who you are and be proud of your wonderful family.
IIN that my family makes fun of my sexual orientation?
