I took a deep breath. I'm tired of suppressing my emotions, I can't handle it anymore.
"You can say what you want, because I do not care anymore. I'm tired of explaining to you guys that no, I will never marry a woman or have kids, I'm gay. Ok?!" I exclaimed whilst almost bursting into tears.
My parents never accepted me as gay, being the religious, conservative parents they are. I came out to them as gay when I was 20, but I didn't get the response I deserved. They kicked me out of the house, and I had to stay in my college flat. After a got a job, I managed to buy my own flat in the city, far away from them.
"It's not natural to be gay, ok?" My mom responded. "God created women so man and woman can join in harmony to make kids."
"Listen. Either you be straight and marry a woman, or you are dead to me, you got that?!" My dad shouted. Now, his exaggerating tone just became numb to me, I don't feel it anymore.
"Then make a funeral for me then, because I will NEVER marry a woman, you understand?!" I retorted angrily, staring at him dead in the eyes.
"You fucking faggot, get lost!" A tear rolled down my eye when he said that. He couldn't break me anymore. Well. That's what I thought. But now, he's crossed the line.
"F-faggot?" I replied softly, with tears filled in my eyes. "I thought you loved me, is this what you think of me? Dad, tell me, honestly, did I commit a crime or something which I deserved to be punished like this?"
"Being a homosexual is equivalent to committing a crime. It is a heinous sin which God will not forgive. You are the biggest fucking mistake in my life, and all I ever wanted was my only child to marry and make his father proud. But now, you're simply a burden." He clenched the handle of my luggage with his right hand. "Now go away from here. Forever. And never show your face to me, you got that clear?!"
I stormed out of my parents' house, without looking back. I didn't want to see their faces anymore, it sickened me. Even though my heart felt heavy, I let out a deep sigh of relief.
"Finally." I whispered to myself with a slight smile. "I am free."
