Hey,
Admitting your feelings to a family member requires a great deal of courage. If they do not understand or accept that you are gay, it might be helpful to consult a family counselor or seek support from an LGBT community organization. These resources can offer specialized support and guidance.

Hi,
It sounds like you're dealing with a lot of difficult and conflicting emotions and circumstances. It's important to prioritize your mental health and well-being during this challenging time. You may benefit from seeking support from a therapist or counselor who specializes in LGBTQ+ issues and can provide you with a safe space to explore your feelings and navigate the complexities of your situation. Additionally, connecting with support groups or LGBTQ+ communities can offer you understanding and solidarity as you navigate these challenges. Remember, you deserve to live authentically and to prioritize your own happiness and fulfillment, even if it means making difficult decisions about your relationships and future.

Hi. Sorry to hear that you are being forced to do something that you do not feel comfortable with. I would advise you to work with a psychologist and also consult a family therapist to help you get your point across to your parents. You should also find support groups where you will be able to share your experience and seek support from others who may have gone through a similar situation.
