Just because it is tradition, doesn't mean both of your parents feel that way. Who knows? They could be very open and only hold that facade because of tradition?
You will be surprised. They are your parents and they really do love you. I hope you can come to grips with your sexuality. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it or you!!

Thanks for sharing. To be blunt, but not disrespectful of your feelings, how do you know for sure you would not prefer sexuality expressed with a woman if you haven't had it? It's a complex subject and I've researched it alot after my daughter told me she was gay, now in a civil union with a woman and won't speak to me because my conscience won't allow my condoning it. There is no gene or predisposition to homosexuality, it is a free will choice, IMHO. If you are a devout Muslim, what does your God say? No good has come out of my daughter's choice, only pain, suffering and social disorder in the family. No daughter to give in marriage, no wedding to plan, no grandchildren; I've been robbed. I hope you find peace in your decision and discussion with your family. Peace,
