James, my heart goes out to you. I think you being your own man and standing up for yourself is admirable. At some point, you will make a family of your own with your own kids, partner, friends...however you fill it out for yourself. Along the way, your parents can join on or not...but I think you will find your own happieness. Anyone that calims there is something wrong with you has no understanding of religion, let alone Christian. You need no middle man for a relationship to God, you can just straight up have your conversation directly to the big man himself. I am not religious in any public sense, but it kills me when parents do this to their kids because of their own poo. You just keep growing, loving, improving yourself. I believe that is the goal in life. Cheers to you!
