Question about when you came out to your parents [or family in general]:?

[Steal The Night]

About a year ago, I randomly came out to my cousin. We're were watching a movie and I said how the main actress was hot, so she asked if I was bi / lesbian [because I tend to comment on girls a lot lol] and I said I was pansexual [and spent the next hour explaining to her what that was]. Literally within three days of my telling her, my entire family knew. I got back from NY [where she lives] and walked into my own apartment to find my entire family, grandparents and all, for an intervention. An intervention! I had to sit there for four hours and listen to my mom cry about me never having babies for her [I have five other siblings, I think she'll have grand-kids by one of them and I'm not strictly "girls only" anyway], my dad cry about how I'm disgracing the family [who I met two years ago btw, so his vote on how horrible I am doesn't even count], and blah blah blah. To top everything off my cousin had told her mom that I wasn't gay I was pansexual, and somehow her mom became like my advocate and started saying all this stuff about how pansexual doesn't mean I'm gay it means I'm a freak. I don't like girls, I like being tied to things and beaten [wtf?]. It was bad. Very bad. Like "I wish I lived on the other side of the world" bad. Now people in my family don't talk to me, others stomach me but won't really have any contact with me outside of holiday gatherings, I even have some family who won't let me see their kids [because gay = pedophile apparently]. It's bad. I never wanted to tell anyone what was going on with me because I always get the over the top blown out of proportion response. I never realized I'd lose family [I mean they're family, blood relatives] because of who I am.

Anyway, there was a point to this question. I swear.

Did anyone have any type of experience like this when they came out. I can't be the only one who has crazy family members who treat them like the plague right?
I'm sorry I know this was kind of me rambling, and I know parts of it seem like sort of jokingly - but idk. It gets to me how quickly I was shunned because I'm not 100% straight.

I'm sorry to hear that.. that must be rough.. my family for the most part are quite accepting of me.. but there was this time I was visiting one of my grandmas (the one I don't live with) and my dad's brother and his family came over and they were giving me some weird looks plus they would hardly say a word to me (I think they knew) but apparently they either didn't have the guts to tell me what they thought about me or they actually had SOME human decency.. If I were a betting man I'd go with the former.. they kinda rub me the wrong way.. but oh well not my problem
