Hey Ralph,
I don’t know much about you other than you really like female singers without much talent… :-p (sorry, I had to “ding” you for your J/Lo obsession).
How about being yourself. You can’t make your parents happy, and they, obviously, can’t make you happy either.
How about; make them proud! They make you proud, don’t they? Have you ever told them how proud you are of them?
How about, Love them! You Love them, don’t you? Have you ever told them you love them? And No! I don’t mean in a card! I mean, just out of the blue, turn to your mom or your dad and say, you know what… I LOVE YOU!
How about not being so self-centered about being Gay! I am Gay, I never made it an issue. I was probably lucky. Just one day, We (my B/F & I) broke up and my Mom said, what happened. I said, I don’t know, but I really love him! It was understood! Pain is Pain! It didn’t have a sexuality. Love is Love! It doesn’t have a sexuality either.
Maybe if you understand that You can only be You and that Love can only be Love and that your parents can only be parents then everything might just fall into perspective and you all will be happy!
I wish you luck and peace!
