my family is trinidadian so that 'batty boy' foolishness was never tolerated. :dead:

if anything, it made me more introverted and quiet; don't talk too much or get too comfortable because they might clock your tea at any given moment.

it was a very exhausting way to live, glad I've moved past that.

!!!! my family is trini indian and once my parents found out my dad stopped talking to me.  :kii:

omf carribean/middle-easterners don't play around when it comes to homosexuality  :plzstop:

fortunately, my family moved past it after I let it be known that they either accept who I am and learn to deal accordingly or I'll just have to live life without them  :ohwow:

Yes. My uncles used to call each other sissies as insults all the time when I was little. And I grew up in church so I always heard gay people were going to hell

I couldn't wait to turn 18 to come out to them

My mother is a Jehovah's Witness and I grew up in the religion as well. Homosexuality isn't tolerated and you'll be immediately ousted from the organization  . My father and brother are very very homophobic as well as is one of my sisters so it was difficult and still is to be honest because we are a very close knit family .  I have always tried to keep it hidden until about the age of 19. To cope with my parents aynd family's disdain for gays , I just kept it to myself and lived a secret life in the shadows . I refused to live a lie and adopt the attitudes of heteronormativity . You might say I'm in the closet kinda but I'm comfortable with it .
