I (16M) came out to my parents and they don't accept me.

So I wouldnt really say im shocked that they don't accept me, i live in a strict, deeply traditional japanese household. my mom has never been too fond of gay people, but I guess I was kinda expecting them too anyway.

My mom tried convincing me I wasnt gay, I was told I was a dishonor to my family and a bunch of homophobic garbage. I love my mom and im trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, but its been hard.

Has anyone been through something similar? Any advice?
