Does your family care about your sexual orientation?

They still don't know. I don't know how to tell them that I'm bi.

I could care aless

They care about it, but they don't know about it. I prefer not to discuss it, seeing as how I don't intend to have another marriage or long term relationship.
My family will always support me, even though they don't always condone my actions. Basically, it's the same as when I chose the military over college. They didn't like it, but they also didn't abandon me for it.

I don't think they would be weird about it if I wasn't though

I'm straight, but it's interesting the way you phrased the first option; gays claim sexual orientation isn't a choice or a decision, and here you seem to be intimating it is. Which is true?

It's not a choice at all.

I believe it is a choice because I have made the choice. I honestly think that others feel like it isn't because they can't fathom wanting something else.

They support my Happiness no matter what......

They don't know my real sexual orientation. No one in my family does, except my cousin (she's like a sister to me) and she's fine with it.

My parents say they're supposedly fine with it, but once I tried to tell them and both of them freaked out. So I said it was a joke and they smiled and let out a sigh of relief.

So... I don't know, honestly.

but i hope they would if i was gay.

No need for concern. I'm normal.

I hope you don't mean that homosexuals aren't normal.

What's your definition of normal? Mine is:
nor·mal
   [nawr-muhl]
adjective
1.
conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural.
2.
serving to establish a standard.
By this definition, homosexuals aren't normal. A 10-12% difference in the population's habits/activities does not constitute a standard or common type. Does that make them bad? No!

I'm sorry, but I can't really say I agree with you on that.
Technically, there never was -and never will be- a standard or common type of people. Everyone has differences and quirks and flaws that keep them from reaching that title.
Heterosexuality is only usual because it was the only thing accepted and seen for YEARS. If homosexuality were as accepted and seen years ago as heterosexuality was, this whole thing wouldn't be an issue.
Love is natural.

Everyone these days (including you it seems) gives the terms "abnormal" and "unusual" a bad connotation and reject them outright.
It's not bad to be abnormal!
You said: "Heterosexuality is only usual because it was the only thing accepted and seen for YEARS."
I say: So??? (though I disagree, seeing as how homosexual tendencies have existed for thousands of years in cultures that had no taboos against it and it still has not become a usual or normal set of habits anywhere)
Giving an excuse or reason for why something is a dominant trait doesn't change the fact that it is normal.
Do you really want to be normal anyway??
Are you familiar with Silver Back Gorillas? They are much larger and stronger than the average or "normal" gorillas, and also unlike normal gorillas, they have a silver streak down their backs. If they were "normal", there would be no Silver Back gorillas, because nothing would set them apart!

No, I'm not giving the terms "abnormal" and "unusual" a bad connotation. I do reject them outright, true, because I don't believe that those words have any use when describing homosexuality. If there isn't normality to begin with, how can there really be abnormality?
I don't find heterosexuals to be normal for their sexuality; therefore, I can't find homosexuals to be abnormal for their sexuality.
Excuse me, but how can you disagree with historical facts?
Homosexuality was rejected, discriminated and insulted. Homosexuals for YEARS got sent to jail and killed for being such. Therefore, heterosexuality could be only, and is, only usual because it was the only thing accepted and seen for YEARS.
Although I do admit that by leaving "seen" alone it could've led to a misunderstanding. When I put "seen" I meant "seen as correct."
Technically, normality doesn't really exist. Why want to be something nonexistent?

"Technically, normality doesn't really exist. Why want to be something nonexistent?"
Now I get what you are saying. It's more of a classification than a statistic to you. That I understand, and I think that most of our disagreement is semantic.
Basically, my understanding of normal is that of the dictionary definition where it is simply a mathematical statistic, where your understanding of the word normal applies a morality or correctness to the meaning.
For your sake I will change my statement to this " Homosexuality is not a dominant trait among humans."

Yeah, and now I understand where we differed.
Now THAT I agree to.
I'm sorry for the whole misunderstanding.

im straight... but if i were different. they wouldnt support me

Sorry to hear that. Best of luck to you.

thanx..

No one in my family knows Im bi curious I wouldn't tell them that because Im 13.

Admitting it to them won't be as hard as you think, trust me.

They love me, but they're uneasy about me being gay. Well... it could be worse. I don't want to tell my father, but my mother knows and she still loves me (She is afraid to bring it up again and feels awkward). I can't discuss my personal thoughts with my mother. One day I hope that I can open up and talk to my father- he always listens to me. My sister is awesome and doesn't mind one bit.

My sister is the same, and my parents are supportive of whatever life decisions I make. I think the fact you are gay, is awesome. Feeling awkward about it is understandable around certain people though.

To my surprise, my Mom knew way before I even "came out" to her.She was just waiting for me to tell her. When I "came out" , she was very surportive ( moreso than I thought,because of her religious background) and told me that she would still love me regardless. She even asked if I saw some guys on campus that I liked O.o, I was bit thrown off by that, but I'm appreciative to have an open-minded mom.

Haha, your mom sounds like mine. Best of luck to you in the future.

I never made it their business. Mom passed away this year, dad's just happy to have me, my bro, and two others.

When your down to such a small family, little things like sexual orientation just... don't matter in the long run.

So true, my family is large though.

Never been an issue.But,I'm sure they'd accept me regardless.

But even if I was not my mum would!

I don't think they even care that I'm bi. They are like "Cool story, bro."

No my family loves me no matter what.. Just like I love my children no matter what... Gay,Bi,straight ect.... I will support them ALWAYS

I'm straight so they never asked. I'm single and Mom isn't too keen on that.

Hm my family is pretty open... though I think they'd have issues if I changed sex and cheated on my (straight) partner with a gay giraffe....

If I was gay they would accept me anyways. I am thankful for them raising me to be open minded and tolerant.

They would be mad at me if I was anything other that straight

They just love me
