How do I handle the stress of my family not accepting me? Not accepting that I'm gay?

Being gay is a taboo for many people and sadly that's the choice YOU made. I'm not trying to sound cold or anything, it was brave of you to come out and admit the truth and you have a right to live your life the way you want and love WHO you want regardless of race, gender, age, etc. From a christian stand point, you really can't be a christian and be gay at the same time, at least that's the way I perceive it, but your family should accept your decisions and respect them whether they agree or not. I'm very sorry you have to go through this and it's very unfair to you that they are mistreating you like this. You could try having a long discussion about it with them and explaining how you feel and how it hurts you when they try to change you, because you are who you are and they should love you no matter what. If that doesn't work you could always try family counceling, and if nothing helps from there, unfortunately you may have to accept the fact that you won't be close to your family as long as you are gay, but that's better than living a lie.
