You have a right to respond to me, but i would advise you not to bother.
Well said. No, the world is not perfect or nice to everyone, but this is a place where we can try and help others feel better about themselves!

As for the OP, the best I know to say is to take pride in who you are. You're you, and you need to be able to accept you first and foremost. If a family member cannot accept you for who you are, that's on them, NOT you.
