When I came out to my conservative Christian teacher, he had the same reaction as my awesome (Jewish) dad and they both took it several times better than my (Jewish as well) mom. The only reason I’m still under my family’s roof is my Dad, and my teacher offered me whatever support I needed that he could give (food, shelter, clothes, etc.). My Mom’s reaction continues to hurt, and I hate the fact that she seems to be getting more homophobic towards me. (I hope I haven’t destroyed her acceptance of the LGBTQQI community.) I also CANNOT WAIT to graduate high school and move out somewhere else far, far away.
