My whole family is homophobic and I'm gay. What should I do?
When I say my whole family, I mean my WHOLE FAMILY (aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, parents, etc.)

If they have a problem with it that is their issue! NOT YOURS. Try to surround yourself with people who will love and accept you for who you are no matter what!

Find people who aren't, that's what I did. My family is religious, so it didn't go well when my parents asked me if I was gay. My grades sucked, I was always locked in my room, and they asked, and I answered. Message me if you want to talk, my formspring and twitter are linked through my profile on here, and my tumblr is linked from both, but it's war-in-out-blood.tumblr.com I'm always here if you want to talk, if you need a friend :) It's hard, but it's worth it. Even before you get out, you see how it gets better. You just have to look forward to the future when you leave them behind and you can act like the real you :)

Firstly, I find it funny the only part of your name is see is "straight", since you're as straight as a rainbow :P
My dad was pretty homophobic, but when my brother told him, he amazingly got a completely different attitude towards homksexuals, and, in time, accepting him completely.
But, that doesn't mean, while my dad was confused, he didn't say some bad, rude, "politically incorrect", and confused words to me.
If you don't think they'll accept you, I would wait till your out of the house to tell them.
And if that doesn't help you, just remember, every successful person in Hollywood is gay. Everyone. *tosh.0 refrence*
Good luck. And just remember, you're fine just the way you are. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise :P
