They are troubled people

"A new study by a group of University of Chicago researchers reveals a high level of promiscuity and unhealthy behavior among that city's homosexual male population."
 
Well, today some trouble happened (but not with my family) around and my parents were talking about it. It is that one of the characters of the trouble is an homosexual man who likes partying and is suspect of doing bad things.
This is not the 1st time this kind of thing happened but today was, like, the peak.
It is that my parents are kinda prejudiced about it I guess, they see homosexuals as troubled people, I understand it because we surrounded by bad examples of homosexuals. And the thing is that I am guy and I realised I am attracted to other guys. So, some things my parents said about it did hurt me because they are my parents, you know, what they say are rules to me and I can't imagine myself telling them about me being attracted to some other guys while they are like that about it, they'll think I am as bad or as troubled other gays they see around.
I mean, I quite can't accept it of me being a guy attracted to some other guys and now they come up with this!
 
Sounds to me like your parents are sending you a message, but there message is really based on ignorance. Let's face it, straight people don't give nearly as much thought to homosexuality as do gay people. I think you should try to educate your parents about gay people. The fact that they see gays as "troubled," not as inherently evil, is a good sign. Of course, among gays, as in any group, there are some messed up people, but most gays, like most people, live good, constructive lives. Chances are when you finally come out to your parents, they'll initially have a hard time, but then over time as they come to learn more about the subject, will come to accept you. My dad had a really hard time with me being gay, but he eventually became great friends with my partner, even greeting him with a kiss like he greeted his other children and their spouses.
