Recently my parents and I had a disagreement with it all and they make me feel like Im nothing when I know Im better then what they think i am. I want to leave home, but Im afraid that once i do my girlfriend and I will break up and My family won't take Me back in. Im tired of the fighting and screaming at home. It's hurting me and causing me pain. Pain they have caused me. What do you think i should do? Reply to this Question

 HI
you have to understand, some people are homophobic, and although this is not right it sometimes cant be helped, its how they were brought up. Never the less its awful you are made to feel like this just for being you. I would not leave home, because if you do things will never change for the better, it will only make matters worse, and they may never understand and except who you are. Give them time to take all this in, they are probably in shock still, after all every mother and father wish there daughter to find the perfect husband and have a happy future ( the ones who do not believe in same sex relationships)so it's bound to cause arguments for a while. If im really honest here I would not have told my parents unless I was 100% SURE I was gay ! you say it may be a phase, so your not really positive yet. Why dont you speak to a councilor about your feelings, and get to the route of things, then you may be able to put the pieces together and learn exactly who you are, and where you want your life to take you. For now I would bite my tounge, keep the peace, and stay at home.
I hope this helps
