its especially hard though when youre parents at least in my case kind of indoctrinated me into believing that gay people were going to hell and they lead a sinful lifestyle

Yea same but for me I now separate an individual from what he/she does. I mean everyone has certain beliefs/ideals that can get offended by someone else's actions but why hold them on those things? It all boils down to being open minded and looking at an individual for who they are instead of one or two things they do. Unless everything that they do and how they act offend you, It shouldnt be a problem
