Hi my name is Genisis and I really need some help. I tried to talk to my parents about my choice  in sex (bisexual) and I don't think they are taking me seriously.  They think  it's just a phase. I don't know what to do. I haven't a clue.  They just think  that I have been corrupted or something.  I can't ask any of my friends cause I don't know who to trust, so i thought I would ask you and I desperately need help! Thanks a bunch.

Dear Genesis,
If you need help coping with your sexuality/dealing with your parents I have a couple of suggestions for you.  First you could talk to some of your friends.  I know that you said that you don't know who to trust, but you should have some sort of idea, your real friends will understand.  Obviously, finding a gay or bisexual friend would be of enormous benefit to you. There are also many groups that you can turn to for support, guidance or just fun.  I don't know what area you are from, I know that there are chapters of PFLAG all over the country.  They will have lots of advice for you on how to deal with your parents in a more effective way.  I also know in my name there is a group called LIGALY (Long Island Gay and Lesbian Youth) and in the city there are youth groups held at the Gay and Lesbian Community Center.  Anyway, follow some of the links on Kurfew's links page to find out more details about these things.  Good Luck!

Jeff's comment: I like Anthony's advice, since he's solving the problem you're stating, which is getting your parents to accept you.  But consider another avenue: let your parents live in blissful ignorance while you pursue your life in an honest and open way.  You're obviously mature enough to deal with your own sexuality, but perhaps your parents aren't ready to confront this issue. It's hard not to view this as a lack of respect and support, but it's more than likely the result of your parents' denial.  You can take some comfort in the fact that your parents still appear to be supportive of you.  After all, some ignorant parents take extreme measures when their kid discloses his sexual orientation.  Eventually they'll come around to your way of thinking and realize that it's not a phase.  You can perhaps hasten the process by taking some of Anthony's advice, or you can learn to be accepting of your parents' close-mindedness until they come around.
