I said no but the answer to that question is more nuanced than a yes or no answer can relay. I'm 41 now and I came out to my parents when I was 15. They were and are devout Southern Baptist Christians and their response was less than warmly receptive. We all adjusted through it which was a painful process that has left its mark on our relationship, but they have never stopped loving me. There is though quite a bit of distance and difference between us even now because my life and beliefs are not relatable to them in any way other than simply being their child and having grown up in their home and them raising me to the best of their ability. I have a younger brother that they relate to far more because he's a Baptist minister and has followed the prescribed life that that entails. Do they "accept" me? Yes, but they don't agree with my "lifestyle." I'm not hurt by it at this point. I've just grown accustomed to it. We all get along but not in an in-depth way. So... yes & no
