Maybe if you just tell them it'll be OK. This is a true story BTW.

wow i wish my parents would be like that about my sexuality haha

Ah, hope things get better. But if you're a nice person, they should still love and accept you for who you are. At least you are being yourself.

So, they didn't take it well?

i came out to them 5 times and they still dont believe me

Sigh... what did they say?

they keep saying "your not gay your just confused and 'experimenting'" at one point they even threatened to put me in an insane asylum

I'm sorry about the outcome. I thought the outcome would be different.

I suppose it is better now to no longer bring it up.

The good thing is that they still love you. Not in the way that you wanted them to, but they don't hate you.

but they are extremely homophobic

How so?

well the fact they said they would put me in an insane asylum is one way, they keep denying that im bi, and all of my lgbtq friends my family hates. THEY EVEN HATE ALLIES!!

I see.... How often did they threaten to put you in an asylum?

just the one time

OK. At this point I think it is best to say nothing further to them. You can bring it up if you'd like; people do change over time, but I don't know your parents the way you do

well i can tell you one thing

ImgFlip_Military?

ig but also military in general

Thank you, MichaelCovert.

np UniformVictor

they dont change their mind about this

Understood.

also are you in any way interested in the military?

I have actually. Either the Army or Navy; in the end I couldn't do it. I knew I couldn''t pass basic training.

look im a skronny mother f**ker and i made it into raiders which is basicly basic training so if i can do it anyone can

I have never heard of that before; a JROTC named Raiders. The reason why I've asked if it were hosted by the Marine Corps is because the have a special operations unit called "Marine Raiders". They used to be called "Marine Reconnaissance", but they've changed back to that name which they've had since WWII.

Well done on passing Raiders, BTW :)

you dont pass raiders, you earn your way into it by going to practice with the raiders team

So you want to be an Air Force pilot; what type of aircraft do you want to fly?

not sure yet but i might just be fueling

i think its fascinating how they can fuel a plane thats in mid air. I mean how is that even possible?

Of any MOS, I would just be happy with anything they would give me so long as I can do it well.

How about you, have you thought of joining, if so, what branch?

yes i have my childhood dream was to fly a plane so i might be joining air force. If i cant so that then i will be in the CSI business

*that

Raiders? What branch of service hosted that? US Marines?

lol no raiders is something JROTC (Junior Officer Training Corps) does in order to help you get a taste of how real military is. its pretty much PT (Physical Training)

Lol, yes... watching mid-air refueling looks extremely hard. The Air tanker pilot must steady his aircraft and the pilot at the other end wanting to refuel must not only reach the fuel line but also steady his aircraft. Both pilots I'm sure must deal with the wind.

most definitly

Yes, I know, it's earned. :) I've heard servicemen talk of "passing" basic.

ahh alright

I wish you well in your future endeavor.

thank you as to you

Man... my mom said the exact same thing when I told her her I'm pansexual. Sorry you had to go through that BS.

oof thats awful

Have you told them yet?

That is a rare good news here on this stream :) I don't mean that there were no good outcomes, but its care to see a meme with great news :)

lucky you have parents like this

They weren't as bad as I thought they would be, but they're not as supportive as the meme made it out to be

What are your parents unsupportive of something?

my parents are good but i know a lot of friends who are abused and forced into pursuing things they didn't want to do

Ah ok. Feel bad for them

AYYYY!!! :) congrats!
