Being gay is not visible unless you act overly feminine (think drag queen, nancy boy, pansy) -- people cannot tell unless you show them that you are by your behavior. However, your parents know you better than anyone else, and they usually have their suspicions from the things you've said and done over the years. Best friends can usually become suspicious as well.

Yes, and unfortunately it happens quite often. 40% of homeless teens are gay. Ignorance, embarrassment, and religious-based bigotry are usually to blame. But there are many cases where anti-gay parents eventually come around and accept their child.

Answer

I suppose they can disown you for any reason they want. You would have to be 18. Underage, they are stuck with you like it or not. I wouldn't worry too much about it. While there are people who would, most parents get over the surprise and come to accept you for who you are. If the don't or can't, don't let it bother you, there are a lot of people in the world who will accept you as you are.

Yes they can. It is legal for them to bring a child to an orphanage and leave him/her there in the hands of them. If you,re a kid, you do not want that. If your an adult who wants to, please don't.

If you are a minor there will be child protective services dealing with it since they can't just throw you out if you are a minor. They have to provide for you.

Emotionally it must be horrible but there are others in the same situation you can get support from. I know that there is a home in NYC specifically for boys (and girls I think) who has been kicked out for being gay etc.

Basically it's your parent's loss. They might also be shocked and need to think about it and let it sink in. You always will be their child and hopefully they change their mind when they see that you as a person has not changed.

How old does a teenager have to be for their parents to kick them out?

In answer to your question: legally: 18 ----------------------------------------------------- Kicking out children is a TERRIBLE thing to do, and some parents don't even allow their children to leave home until marriage! Usually, parents kick their children out of their homes for the following reasons: 1. Refusal to respect parental authority and house rules 2. Lying - especially chronically 3. Cheating - especially the family 4. Stealing - especially money 5. Refusal to take responsibility for their own lives and actions 6. Some parents disown their children for marrying someone they don't approve of 7. Some parents disown their children for having sex and children without marriage 8. Some parents disown their children for refusing to be what their parents want them to be when they grow up - including joining the family business 9. "Generation Gap" conflicts, where NO ONE gets along 10. Making personal adult life decisions their parents don't approve of

Did the Duggars disown their oldest son?

No, Josh and his wife, Anna, live in Washington, D.C. with their three children. Washington D.C. is quite a distance from Josh's parent's home in Tontitown, Arkansas. All of the Duggar children receive a starter home from their parents once they are married and this is the only time (other than being in college) when it is acceptable for a Duggar child not to live with their parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.
