My parents won’t accept that I’m gay…?

I am a lesbian and have been with my girlfriend for almost two years now. We’re having a commitment ceremony in the states in September and then driving to Canada to make our marriage legal. My entire family refuses to attend because they believe I am wrong for my relationship (religious reasons, of course) and don’t want to appear as if they’re supporting our relationship. We have plans to start a family next year and they also say our kids won’t be part of THEIR family. I’m having a really hard time with this. I’m only 27 and I guess I’m not used to being completely orphaned in such a manner. I don’t want to hurt my parents but they need to respect my choices and see that I am happy and living my life the way I know it needs to be. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?

Why is “Lesbian, Gay and Transgendered” the ONLY subcatagory under “Cultures and Groups”?

Shouldn’t there be more choices?

Why is it that “Christians” are so judgemental?

I thought the key point to the Bible was love and understanding. So why is it that the people who study the Bible the most are filled with the most hate? There is so much judgement, and for that reason, I don’t even go to church anymore. My main problem is the fact that the gay and lesbian community are being targeted because of who they choose to love. “The Bible says its a sin”, plz. Check out gnostic christianity for the true meaning of that passage. BTW Christians, its also a sin to eat meat on Fridays, to eat all shellfish and fish without scales, and scores of other things that are totally ignored. Another thing being forgotten is free will. That’s a gift from the Lord that we were blessed with, so how can anyone judge anybody else for the choices they make. We were given that right. I can’t speak for the gay community, since I’m not gay, but I do have relatives that are gay, and as long as they’re happy, so am I. Shouldn’t that be the only thing that matters?
I’m know not saying Christians are the only ones who are judmental at all, and I’m not saying it’s all Christians. The point is speaking as a Christian myself, I know that we are taught to love our fellow man, not love our fellow man as long as they do as we wish. I’m talking about acceptance. That’s all. And this is only based on Christians that I know, not every single church going person on the planet.
