Good points, both. They haven't had to deal with it, but I would pity anyone who had to come out to my parents! And they do consider it a choice, not an inborn thing.
I am sorry that it's hard, but I do hope that the overall quality of your life is increased by being out. I would think with time things will be better than they were in the closet.
I find it strange, too that they immediately went to those questions. But it does reflect their point of view (the religious idea that this is something unnatural and wrong, so it must be brought on by something horrible).
Best of luck in the coming days. I think the worst is over?
