Don't pay them attention hon. They're just backed into a corner and now they're throwing anything they can think of at you.

Pfft.... Your parents are morons. That's all there is to it.

just tell them that you don't have to subscribe to their religion. You are an independent person and you can come to your own conclusions. They just want to hear what they want to hear. They shouldn't even matter to you anymore after this bullshit.

If I dressed up as a animal I would be kicked out of my house to my parents would also say its sinful for Christians I get the same lectures almost...your not alone

At your age, your parents cannot order you to do anything, have they even seen your psychiatrist/therapist and met her in person?

Also do you show them anything that I sent you and use those as objections to why they cannot pick and choose from the old testament to justify their bigotry?

yes i have but they out flank me.

this is where critical thinking comes in, ask them why we believe that something in the old testament no longer apply but yet other things do? Ask them why they do not also reference the lines about stoning and why we no longer stone people or why do we not make sacrifices on sacrificial alters but yet condemn homosexuality when Jesus their moral teacher said nothing about it anywhere in any of the gospels.

Ask them why there are 30 different versions of the Bible from shortly after Jesus's death and yet this one is the correct. Ask them how do they know what they know, and how that they know there religion is the correct one without resorting to "just because it is" and if they respond it is what they BELIEVE emphasize that it is just a BELIEF and they have no evidence to support their claims and that you do not share in that BELIEF because there is no basis to have such a belief.

Time to move out and live your own life. To hell with that your parents say.

You really need to get the fuck out of there.

It's obvious they're not going to change their way of thinking no matter how much evidence you show them. Religion is all about having a central moral code. The "wrong" comes from merely fantasizing "taboo" desires and even more-so by indulging in them. On their grounds, they are right so an argument over religious interpretations isn't going to do anything.

Since when has anyone devout to their beliefs ever been persuades to think against their previous beliefs? It's not going to happen unless you can find someone that your parents believe hold more authority over the matter than themselves--even then it will be so easy for them to deny the claims. It needs to be taken in baby steps from out-right denial towards believing it's just a minor deviance from the faith that isn't as severe as they are making it out to be. From there from tolerance and hopefully acceptance.

Even the gay rights movement took decades before it became accepted in the U.S. It is exceptionally difficult to change deeply seeded beliefs.

relious nuts, gonna nut,,, all over you. its like bukkake... kinda. you need a on on with your parents, as frank as possible, that you are waht you are. and... thats ok. you could grow up and be an exuberant christian like in waco texas or you can be what you feel is right. granted that the Waco victims thought they were right too.. >.>; you need to make them clear that you are furry, and you have support cause if you are what you are, then thats what you are.

Thats purely harassment sorry to say that but what they are doing is purely mental manipulation .
Go back to ur therapist explain to her/him the prob without ur parents know it and u'll got two options :
1. She will contact someone to take u in charge and force ur parents to go in front of a judge .
2. She will take ur own by him/herself and will take ur case seriously.

They say religion is the only way to be safe that homosexuality is a sin .. Well what about achille? He had intercourse with guys and even with his cousin. And all athenians did it too. What about da vinci? He was an inventor of genious and he also made masterpieces that everybody know even nowdays still. What about mercury ? He was gay but didn't prevented him to take his band to the hightest of rock. Same for the Village people.. Im sure they know plenty members of ur whole familly that might gays too or about to turn into it but they never accept it because of a retarded religon that say "love each other" that everybody translate into "do what we told u because its god rules".

And there is only one thing u might tell them in plus of that ... And im sure u'll do at a moment.. " or they accept u like u are or u leave the house and never will meet them anymore".

Just ask them about how the very same book states all of the following in just as strong a position as the anti-gay stuff:
- shaving is against god
- eating shellfish of any kind is against god
- wearing two different fabrics or a blend there of at the same time is against god
- planting two different types of seeds in the same field
- mistreating foreigners in your land
- working on saturday
-

maybe it's not you who needs a shrink but themselves, church is a cult, cults are evil, renounce your current religion and join the church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, you will be treated with fairness and respect no matter what you believe.

Ramen.

there are a lot of different approaches to the subject of whether or not homosexuality is a sin; to me it's just a matter of picking one and sticking to it. it's not as simple as just deciding whether it's right or wrong since there are a number of different facets of those views that are different for each person.
on the far right of the spectrum you have people who completely ignore the science/psychology behind it in favor of their own belief that being gay is a choice, is morally repugnant, goes against god and nature, etc. most of those notions are laughable at best.
then you have people who believe it's wrong, but acknowledge that it isn't a choice. in this case they often compare homosexuality to kleptomania or pathological lying, claiming that just because you can't help it doesn't mean it's ok. the glaring fault in this approach is that disorders like kleptomania and pathological lying cause harm to other people, but being gay doesn't.
in the middle of the spectrum there are believers who don't know or care whether or not it's wrong, and leave it up to god to judge.
within the realm of people who think homosexuality is okay, you have a lot of different justifications for it. some people use loopholes in the language of different verses to claim by technicality that they don't mean what people think they mean; some just use the blanket statement that the bible was written by men and has flaws; some people say that it was written for a different culture, etc. you can find a number of these arguments from more liberal christian apologists. googling "is homosexuality a sin" turns up quite a variety of results since the issue is so contested.
(of course i'm about as far to the left on this issue as you can go; i don't believe in the bible at all, so stuff like this doesn't keep me awake at night.)
i think what it comes down to, though, is our own sense of morality and how it's been sculpted by those around us. i know, morally speaking, that there's nothing wrong with being gay/trans/etc, and no bible verse can override that awareness for me. people who use only the bible for their moral compass, and not what they've learned throughout their lives, wind up involved in things like the crusades or the salem witch trials. when it comes down to it, you and i and (i imagine) everyone else in this comment thread know that stoning someone to death for who they're holding hands with is an absolutely barbaric and inhumane thing to do, whether the bible says it's okay or not.
pardon my rant. i hope this helps a little.

I still don't understand why it matters what your parents/family think and why you need to convince them it's good? If they don't like it, don't expose them to it. It sux having controlling intolerant parents, but they are giving you a roof over your head and food on your plate (I assume) therefore they have the say so on what comes into and goes on in their home. I know leaving home is not easy but it is doable. You just need to get a job and save up all the monies and find someone (furry) looking for a roommate to split rent with.
If my parents said they didn't want me to be furry and told me to stop, I would just tell them "ahh ok." Then I would still be a furry and keep it away from them, Then move out when I can and flail furry everywhere like I do now:D Hell I never even told them about furry and I have a suit they have never seen.

At this point their attemps to take control is out of their own will and unwarented. im already on my way out but its also against their timing. they feel i dont have the life skills needed to live on my own. but it really doesn't matter they think.
