OMG! That's freaking terrible! I feel for ya, buddy!
Obviously, your mother still thinks you are just going through some kind of a phase or that homosexuality is an immoral lifestyle choice as opposed to an orientation. You are not the first gay boy that has gone through this with their parents. Yes, it hurts, a whole lot.
My best advice to you is to stay in the "closet" until you are out of your parents house, on your own, and able to support yourself. I've known plenty of folks who came out to their parents while living at home only to find themselves homeless the next moment, and having to resort to prostitution and other unsavory practices just to support themselves. You don't want to do end up like that.
Hopefully, your mother will come around to understanding where you are coming from one day. My parents did!
Take care of yourself first! You have the rest of your life to live free and fabulous.
Thanks, we had a big talk about it and she simmered down; it just caught me off guard, since I came out 4 years ago, and we've rarely ever talked about it since then.
