I'm okay

I came out as bisexual in the middle of 7th grade. I told my close friends before my family because my brother faked being gay and I thought they'd disown me. My friends were all supportive except for a few that I either no longer talk to, or no longer care that I'm gay. I got made fun of a lot at school because I was the first person to come out in like 2 years. I actually came out with my girlfriend calli. She was the reason I made it through, and she's now my best friend in the world (she's straight). One thing that I'm proud of though is that I actually started the coming out of my school, people followed me and thanked me. Then, in May, I told my parents.
We were at a Mexican restaurant called La Mesa and the table was quiet. So I decided this was as good a time as any (I'd come out to my mum separately before that). So I said "guys, I'm bisexual" and do you know what my dad said? He said "be quiet Anna were trying to eat happily". He didn't talk to me for a week and treated the dog better than me for a while. He's started to accept me but he still uses a lot of stereotypes and not so nice words. Honestly, if I wasn't his only daughter, I think he would've disowned me. But instead I'm slowly getting him to realize that it's okay. And the last step in my coming out story, is yesterday I came out as biromantic homosexual, and said that I'm okay with the term lesbian for the sake of ease because I'm not often attracted to guys.
