So I am a Bi-Fluid and Pansexual kid. I have a family that is loyal to God. They thought that Cosplay is cool and all and said that they will me but just then---
When I said that if they could buy for me a Dye for a jacket for cosplay with my OWN money they laughed and said it's useless.
When I asked my Father for help at my Jack Frost staff he furrowed his eyebrows and told me, "It's not even for school purposes, why should I help?"
When I told my whom I was going to cosplay since she personally wants to pop my comfort bubble and so sick of her wanting me to tell her "BASICALLY THE FULL STORY OF MY LIFE" and told her that it was Jack Frost I'm going to cosplay she scrunched her nose and said, "Ah Daughter, you're a girl. You should cosplay girls since it is much more beautiful like Myrtle!(Myrtle is a famous cosplayer at the Philippines.)"
I told her that cosplay is for fun but she said, "You're a lesbian, it's all right I'll accept you no matter what." I basically lost it there and told her I'm Pansexual and Bi-Fluid and basically what she told me next is--
"You need a therapist, that's not normal."
AFTER SHE TOLD ME THAT?!
Yeah , thanks mom.
I feel embarassed now. I just want to cosplay just once and now they are saying this to me... So am, I am a 13 years old girl and please help me. Basically in my perspective my mom is homophobic but denies it, my father is basically making fun at me, my aunt whom I trust the most just lied to me and makes fun of me, and my uncle is taunting me and saying that I'm a lesbian. I mean what's wrong with being Lesbian? Didn't God say He will accept us no matter what?!
Please give me advice on how to say to my parents that Crossplay isn't like that and all.
I just want to have a little fun in this studying life where they forced me to be a little good shoes who studies in a science class and needs to be in Top 10 or they'll say I'm dumb and all.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just stressed, depressed and pressured....

I'm really sorry that this is something you are going through. I wish I could give you advice on how to help your situation when it comes to your family and your sexuality. When it comes to cosplay however, idk if this will help you but I feel it's a good place to start. MangoSirene has a video on how to talk to parents about cosplay and it's basically her parents talking about their experience with their daughter cosplaying. It might be helpful for you to see and possibly your parents.
Haha thanks for the recommendation.
I don't think anyone here can fix those things for you. My advice, if you can't do a crossplay on your own yet, is to do a female one to start with, if that's where your family will help. Maybe them seeing you enjoying it will encourage them to help with other ones? Pick your battles, as they say. Start with what you can and work from there.
Ah thanks for the advice really!
