If you don't have anyone left in your life that accepts your sexuality, find others who will. Meet new people and join groups or even an online community. There will always be people who don't accept it, but there are more who will.

If no one in your life accepts that you are gay, unfortunately, you can't control how they or anyone feels. However, there is a lot of support out there, support groups, people you can meet, there is a big gay community, etc. There are many people out there who will accept you for who you are. You just have to find those people!

If you are gay and no one around you accepts that, then they don't know you well enough. Yes finding that our takes time cause it surprises people and they don't know how to react. You need supportive people around you. Maybe sit down and talk to them, if they know and love you they will accept you.

If nobody in your life accepts that you’re gay, it’s okay to drop them out of your life. You don’t need to feel like you’re in the wrong for being gay. If no one accepts that you are gay, look elsewhere for friends that will support you. You are allowed to date who you want without the feeling of being judged or disowned. There is no wrong gender to love. Everyone deserves to love and be loved. You don’t need any negativity from anyone who doesn’t support you. It definitely would help to find friends that will support you, as well as listen.

Learn to value your self worth & grow like a beautiful flower ! It’s only your life , you must make the most with it! Be happy. Love yourself. Only you can decide what happens in your life. Never allow someone who doesn't support your decision to hurt your happiness! If they aren’t happy for you, or value the person you want to become Id say that’s negativity blocking you from being the real you! You deserve happiness. Everyone does. So promise yourself you’ll always put your happiness first, you deserve it. If someone around you is being negative always tell yourself “This is my life , this is what makes me happy; and this is who I will be.” You have to learn to except the person you want to be first. When you finally decide to do that everyone else’s opinion about you will no longer matter.

You can learn to accept and love yourself for who you are. There is no one else in the world like you. Another thing that may be beneficial is to get involve with a community of like minded people. This may also provide a support network for when things get tough at home. Lastly, advocating for yourself and educating others is a another avenue to explore.

Always be who you are and never hide yourself. Let your story and let your voice be heard. There are people here for you.

Try exploring. Look online for LGTB+ communities in and around your area. Its easier for people to relate to you if they can understand what you are going through :)

You can't hide who you are. If no one else accepts you, learn to accept yourself. Find new friends that will accept you for who you are.

You accept the fact that your gay. You are proud to be and feel who you are, your an amazing person. There is nothing wrong with being gay. You don't need any one else's opinion because only yours matters.

Accept yourself and others will follow - I can't understand your feelings, but better things are out there.

The world is a vast place, and there are millions of people out there who are experiencing the same pain as you are. Go out there and explore the world. I am sure you will find the person who will reach out his hand for you. :)

I think the best possible thing for you to do is tell people around you that it's not a choice and that no one chooses to be gay or straight, and if that doesn't work slowly start avoiding people who don't accept who you are and be with people who do and most of all always do what you think is best for you :)

If nobody accepts that you are a gay, find some other gay friend and mingle with him. Make your own world inside you and inside the person who accepts you as you are. Everyone has different mind set and you don't have to change them.
