Well as long as your not ashamed of who you are...Your parents probably think your going through a phase and that they can change it. My mom thought that. Just ignore what your parents have to say and be happy that you found someone that makes you happy. Not alot of people get that oppurtunity.

Whether your parents believe in it or not, you cannot change who you are. Simply tell your father that there is a chance he may be right, that you might find a guy. However, you love someone with all your heart right now, and that he has no right to interfere in love.
However, this kind of approach rarely succeeds, so if you don't think that it will work, tell him that you're getting older and you need to make your own decisions. Whether he likes it or not, demand that he should know that this relationship will hurt no one, except in a regular relationship kind of thing; break-ups, fighting, etc. No one can help those. But you just want to be happy, and that doesn't mean locked in a closet until the right "guy" comes along.

My advice: do what you feel is right. Having feelings for someone of the same gender is not wrong. It's perfectly natural and if your parents don't like it, well, they'll just have to live with it. Screw anyone who says otherwise.

How do you know what God wants if you're not him?

My advice, per usual, is take a break from dating. According to a book I read by Meg Cabot: "If it's meant to be, it'll come back to you."

well all i have to say is,its your dicistion to be gay. its not the best but its yours.and you can love whomever you want. you should tell your dad this and if he dosnt understand then maybe you shouldnt be gay at all.
but hey whatever i'm not God, but i'm a christian and God hates stuff like that.
but he still luvs you, but its not right.
he has a special someone out there for you somewhere if you'll just be willing 2 whate a lil while....

hugs'n kisses
