    I can see where your coming from in the sense of being embarrased about your parents. My embarrassment goes further to include my immature younger sister. Thankfully religion hasnt been a factor for me cuz im not practising one and my parents are mixed (Catholic and Johovah Witness - converted after 10yrs of marraige) I'm 25 but made the leap and am now living in a place on my own. I can do what I want when I want and not have to consider anyone else but ME. The thoughts/opinions of others should not influence you in your day to day lifestyle. If you want to look smart, like you said first impressions count, then so be it. However you may have over reacted with your mum with her comment. You should explain to her exactly what sexuality you are and the comment from your dad shows his lack of understanding outside of his own community (not trying to be smart or judgemental on your Dad).

    Simply put - do what you want to do and if the behavour of your parent is affecting you personally then have a long think of what is better for you. Having your parents putting you down constantly OR move on and get what you want from life.

    Best of luck

    Ok so lots of straight lads would be extremely offended if somebody thought they were gay, even of they are not remotely homophobic.

    But here's the thing; your mum was pointing out that if[/B you were gay she'd still be there for you. There's so many gay people out there who wish they could say the same!! Fair enough, you're straight as a dice from what I've read, so why so annoyed? if your parents are as old-fasioned as you make em out to be, they probably don't get the whole modren-man, metrosexual thing at all....you're talking about people who's idea of skincare was a good aul shcrub until yer bright red!!!!
