I teared when I saw that new PSA, because it felt great to finally know some does GIVE A DAMN.

The sad fact is that some many teens had to die before anyone realized gay bashing was wrong. I don't think straight people will ever understand how scary it really is to bi-sexual/gay/lesbian. It's the most terrible feeling knowing your family won't accept you. Outside of my own house hold everyone else is Catholic, and though I wouldn't be terribly shunned...I wouldn't be totally accepted.
But I know there will always be my friends, because friends don't judge you as much as your family does. So as long you have friends, it doesn't matter what your family thinks. You'll grow up, you'll move out, you'll run away and move in with a friend, whatever it takes, you have the power to control your life.
Just because parents are adults doesn't mean they always do the right thing. If your parents aren't supportive ,or even abusive because of your sexual orientation--you need to realize there is always another way. Your not trapped for life, because you have the power to free yourself from discrimination, by surrounding yourself by people who love and accept you.
Find those people, and tell them how much you appreciate them.
