Not my mom, but I've never met my dad. But I don't think he is.

NightFrog picked No:
My mom- no
My dad- I'm leaning towards no.
My stepmom- Religiously, yes. But she doesn't make rude comments or anything like that, and she claims to have gay friends. However, a majority of her family is homophobic.

For the most part, they don't really say anything about the issue. My stepmom ignores it, my mom is all for gay rights, and my dad doesn't seem to pay much attention. None of them know about me, so I don't know if that would make a change on their views or not.

UPDATE: My dad says he agrees that gays should have equal rights, and he tries to be open minded. He has a hard time understanding it. He's more of those "if they keep it to themselves" he's fine with it kind of people- I was almost going to tell him about me, until he said "keep it to themselves." I was hit on by a guy awhile before I asked him this (and I know for sure that if this particular guy was hitting on one of my straight friends, they'd consider him extremely attractive)- it actually made me realize while I still think I'm pansexual, I'm pansexual leaning towards girls.. *pulls hair*

LOLerz25 picked Yes :
They "claim" to accept me but the mere fact that they said they were 'hopeful' for me to be straight even when I've been showing signs of femininity before I came out screams that they don't fully accept me. Even now, when I'm already out, I could still see them showing homophobia. -_-

My mom is, and part of my family. It bothers me, because I'm a straight person who supports gay marriage.

My mom isn't, she's my biggest support and i love her for that (and for a lot more of course) and my dad died a few years ago, before i could tell him. But i think he would have been supportive too, because he didn't want me anywhere near boys, so he would have been relieved lol

My mum isn't at all, but my dad's slightly homophobic and very transphobic. I have a few relatives from his side of the family who are homophobic too.

My mom isn't, but I'm pretty sure my dad is. He's the only person in my family I haven't told yet.

DarkSarcasm picked Yes :
My mother makes the "I'm not judging anybody" claim, but cringes, covers her eyes and says "EWWW" every time something mildly gay happens on TV.

I think my dad was, but would probably be one of those that changes their view when it's their kid (when I came out he was dying and wasn't really there anymore). My mom just wants me to be happy even if she doesn't agree with it.

IllusionDolls picked Yes :
it's kind of tricky... i know they're not hateful toward / don't hold a grudge against those on the lgbt+ spectrum, but they still admitted that they find it wrong despite that they acknowledge it's not a choice. though i suspect based on conversations i've been hearing lately they're trying to change in this aspect, many people have to crush the internalized homophobia they were conditioned to have at some point if they've grown enough to do so, i certainly hope that applies to them so i can eventually feel comfortable being open about my own orientation within my own home;

I don't think my mom was homophobic, but I never heard her talk about it or anything so I never knew what her opinion was. My dad use to be but not anymore.

I luckily have rebellious liberal parents that refused to be homophobic like the rest of their families.

Makeupdiva picked No:
My parents have no problem with homosexuality. While I am 100 % straight, I fully support the lgbt + and gay marriage. My opinion, homosexuality, the lgbt + shouldn't even be an issue considering we are in the 21st century but people are still prejudice unfortunatly and can't get over themselves, not realizing that a person's lifestyle and sexuality has nothing to do with anyone. I hope there will be a day where a person isn't afraid to be who they want to be.
