My parents are homophobic and my future is at stake.

...See more I'll keep it short. I don't like labels but just for the sake of it, I'm a lesbian. My parents are homophobic. They want me to marry a straight man and settle down, have a couple kids, you know, same old story. I'm in my late 20's now and I won't grow any younger. I will meet someone someday and they'd want to marry me, and even if I went ahead and married them, I won't be able to hide it for a long time. I originally planned on never coming out to them and just live my life. But they're your parents, they will always be by your side and they WILL always in some way find out about whatever is happening in your life. I was never close to them, we share a casual bond and I tell myself that it wouldn't matter if they found out that I'm a lesbian but today I realised that it does. They would be so disappoined if they found out that and I don't have the heart to see that look in their face. They've loved me, given me the best they can but I can't just marry a straight man like they want me to. I'd rather they pass away knowing that their daughter was unmarried than being disappointed and disgusted by their daughter.
