Thanks guys, it's nice to have a really supportive community to turn to when I need help. I think the first step I will be taking is to send him here. My parents are somewhat conservative and come from somewhat conservative families so this will be a bit of an uphill battle but one I am willing to fight. Sadly, I still have almost 2 years left under their roof before college. Until then I'll just have to live with it and hope to change their minds.


It's funny though, I actually managed to convince them to let me wear my kilt to my high school's Homecoming dance this fall. Seems somewhat odd they would let me do that but not wear it whenever I choose casually.
