Answer
Hey Teresa,
Coming out seems to be one of the biggest problems for teens especially. It takes parents time to adjust to their child being different than who they originally though. Remind them that you are still the same person and that you trusted them enough to be honest with them for the first time in four years. Hang in there, rejection is always tough. I'd suggest you tell your best friend that you care about her and no matter what your family does, you still want to be her friend. If your family starts to be a little more tolerant, try to get them to go to a PFLAG meeting.
I hope I could help, and write back if you need any more advice.
-Lisa
