Why can't I even accept myself but I expect others to accept me?

It doesn't work that way! Everyone is just sooooooo homophobic here so it make things 100x HARDER.

Well, you said something so meaningful. Until you accept yourself a who you are or who you want to be, no one will accept you....

Whatever you do in life, you should be 100% confident about it, like you are doing nothing wrong, and then only you can defend yourself.....

@Alifeinterrupted It might have sounded weird to you, as you know the pain of being treated poorly by the society because you have experienced it all.

@aydenaman I know but u made a pretty good point. It doesn't matter who wants to be a homo..that'll always be there but the way I choose to respond makes all the difference. I just want to get to that point where I'm unapologetic for who I am disregarding other people's opinionated views.

Well, you get it right. Your response I what that makes the difference. The way you respond, decides whether you are going to be suppressed or come out stronger than before.
