DEAR ABBY : I am freshman in high school, and I live with my stepmother and father. They are great parents to me and my little brother but homophobic. I love going to church with them, but I have a partner of the same gender. My parents recently found out and have decided as punishment to isolate me from everyone, including putting me in homeschool.

What they don’t understand is that I am confused about myself, and I can’t make sense of my emotions. Can I be both Christian and lesbian? Every time I try to ask one of them for help understanding, they shut down and call me disgusting. What can I do to get them to understand that I need to talk through this? ×
