@samshawgta5: Yeah, you might get thrown out... but you need to evaluate and be sure of what you hold as more important. Your self-acceptance and the possibility of being "shunned" or the current life you're living as is.

I hope your family finds it in their hearts to accept you as you come. Perhaps helping them understand how you see things might help. There's really no "right" way to be upfront about such a topic with people who for whatever reason, feel so threatened by it.

I wish you the best.
