1) You're not stupid. Nobody wants to see their mother crying, and nobody could be expected to not at least ask if there was a way they could change that.
2) We can't choose who we're attracted to, let alone who we love. If we could, romance would be easy... just walk out into the street, introduce yourself to the first person you see, and choose to love them and want them.
3) Probably most importantly, you're not doing anything wrong. There's no reason why you should be expected to change.
I hope things turn out okay with your family.

Re: The mysteries of life
However, all I know is just a few days after it came out I started seeing on CNN religious right wingers using the movie as proof for their position of the immorality of homosexuality.
In fairness, there were pundits claiming that March of the Penguins was evidence of creationism.
Seriously.
If something's popular, some whackjob'll hop up and try to capitalize on it.

Re: Buzsaw Weighing In Here
This looks like fun! Here's a few more facts we should probably all keep in mind.
1. Clearly, there's no God. So that's pretty funny.
2. Wiping your ass is not natural. Stop immediately. As an added bonus, the crust and the smell will drive away anyone who tries to do... well, pretty much anything beneath your waist.
3. You should probably avoid the dentist if you have a cavity. Putting metal in your teeth is not normal, and what is normal is what is best for our bodies. This also has an added bonus, in that it will drive away anybody who wants to do anything to your mouth.
4. There are a lot of bigoted people in the world, who find someone different than them unacceptable. Unfortunately, since there are a lot of them, they're automatically right. This is why it's okay to beat up the only black kid in an all-white town.
5. Before the American civil war, it was morally wrong to stop a man from beating his slave. That's the law, mister. And it was the law for a good chunk of history. Even in ancient Greece, and you know the kinds of shenanigans they got up to.
6. Acting severely retarded has a history of initiating health problems. So you probably shouldn't listen to any lists of "facts" you read on the internet.
7. Look, I don't mean to scare you or anything. But if you're gay? Give it... maybe ten minutes. You'll have raped and killed somebody, and contracted a venereal disease.
Oh, and you'll be pregnant. Not sure how that works exactly, but damn it, your lack of inhibition will lead to pregnancy!
8. If you think you might be gay, you should listen to what your parents have to say on the subject. They have way more experience with homosexuality than you do. Espcially if your Mom went to college, or your Dad went to boarding school.
9. The Bible is a reliable source of information for whackjobs who think bats are a kind of bird.
10. The CIA is using Roswell alien technology to beam mind control rays that steal my thoughts. I'm not able to verify anything on this but perhaps there's something to it.
11. I knew a young man once who was Christian. I told him there was no God. He said, "Hey, you're right!"
Then we laughed, and laughed, and laughed.
