I’m sorry that your parents are struggling so hard to understand you, and that you’re internalizing their struggle (by, for example, calling yourself “abnormal”) even as you rail against it. Some men are attracted to men, some women to women, or any combination thereof. You’ll notice that I’m addressing my response to “Normal Son” and not “Abnormal Son,” because there is nothing abnormal about you. Are parents that see their son in this way worth holding onto? They recently found out about my significant other and told me that my happiness is not worth the price of giving up being normal, and how little they love me. They’ve asked if I have AIDS, if I was molested by a priest, and other questions far too graphic to go into.

Ever since then, they have berated me for it - either that, or they’re outright ignoring it.
