I’m 16 and I’ve known I’m gay since I was 12 I haven’t told anyone because I just don’t really want to and I was kinda scared about their reactions lol.

Last week I got home and my parents started screaming at me saying I was selfish and disgusting, and I should have told them ages ago instead of making them think I’m straight.

They found out because my uncle saw me kissing a guy in an alleyway and he told my whole family because that’s a completely normal thing to do apparently and now half of them won’t talk to me and the other half are blowing up my phone basically telling me I’m a huge asshole.

My dad said I really upset my mom because she expected me to get married and have kids and I got her and everyone else’s hopes up.

Am I the asshole? My whole family hates me at the moment and I literally don’t know what to do I’ve said sorry to all of them but they’re still super angry :/
