My parents are "homophobes".
If I were to tell them that I like girls they would kick me out and probably never talk to me again. That's just the way they are.
I've dropped subtle hints before just to get their views on it, and they are completely close-minded. In fact, most of my family is that way. I am glad that I am not.
I am dating a girl right now and as much as I would love to introduce her to my parents and tell them how I feel, I just can't.

If I ever have children, and they were to tell me they were gay/bi/lesbian, I would be completely fine with it. I would still love them for who they are and would help them in any way I could.
