Adult vs Childeren Belifes

"Adults teach you to stand up for yourself and to fight for what you believe in, till what you believe in is different from what they believe in."
The truth of this statement is really fucked up. My parent have always told me if you believe in something, fight for it and don't let anyone tell you otherwise but when anyone became them war broke loose. Recently the news has talk about gay marriage being legalized in america and that is amazing for members of the LGBTQ+ community, I support it fully, I have friends of every spectrum of the community and some of my biggest idols and inspirations in life are apart of this community and even if I knew no one in this community I would support it because even if I'm not apart of it LOVE IS LOVE and that's all that matters. But when said friends came out to school there was a huge massacre of mixed reactions that eventually led to bullying and one of my friends almost got away with taking her own life, I even became bullied because I hung out with people in the LGBTQ+ community so I told my parents I asked them what I should do and man did I make a mistake asking them. I found out that my family is the most homophobic family you can imagine every relative in my family tree.... homophobic, and I'm the only one who isn't. My parent absolutely hate that I have friends that are apart of the LGBTQ+ community and they fear I shall become like them but as I argued with my parents SEXUALITY ISN'T A CHOICE, THE WAY YOU FEEL TOWARDS SOMEONE ISN'T A GOD DAMN CHOICE! But some how I dug myself into this argument deeper and they look at all the youtubers I follow on Instagram and all the youtubers books that I have purchased and check out the musicians I listen to, this consisting of troye sivan ,Connor franta, Trevor Moran, Joey graceffa, Tyler Oakley and many others that are apart of the LGBTQ+ community, they lost their shit, they are terrified I am apart of this community when I'm not and even if I was so what (but they feel differently they told me if they ever found out I am a part of this community they would disown me, even though I'm not a part of this community their threat doesn't bother me I have already been abused then adopted only to find out my adoption family is homophobic.) I have fought with my parents and I have tried to reason with them and get them to understand that love is love, its not a choice so let people be who they are not to be scared of who they are...
