Your parents might well shun you - you know them well so you can easily predict their response.

Psych doctors do not treat lesbians as people who are "messed up" - in the US they have not since the mid-1970s:

- Sexual orientation, homosexuality and bisexuality (psychologists)
- APA Position Statements | psychiatry.org (psychiatrists; search for "homosexuality" to see the relevant position statements)
Thanks for this!
