I came out to my parents when I was 19. It threw everyone of a loop, but it was nothing dramatic. My family is mostly Southern Baptist, so they don't agree with homosexuality, but no one ever says anything to me. In the past, when I had a boyfriend, he was welcome at my parents house. I'm not a flamer or anything. Almost everyone I meet don't know I'm gay when they meet me. So, my parents aren't really reminded that I'm gay.

However, when anyone brings up a topic about gay rights or marriage, I get very uncomfortable. For instance last night when there was a story on the news about Romeny talking about gay marriage at the graduation ceremony. I was going crazy inside. I didn't know how to feel or what to think. I was petrified until the story was over. No one said anything. But, for some reason, I always feel uncomfortable when stuff like that comes up no the news or in conversation.

Let me stress, my parents love me very much and have never made me feel bad about being gay.

TL;DR Does anyone else feel uncomfortable when topics about gay rights/marriage come up around their parents/family, or certain people?
