Re: Told my parents - Am I being selfish to be disappointed? -

You're not selfish at all for wanting your family to respect who you are dating, or at least to give them a chance and actually meeting them before judging them. It may be that they don't fully understand what it means to be in the LGBT+ community, or what you are going through.
I couldn't have said it any better than TakeMeHigher. If you date a girl in the future, the ones that truly care about you will respect your sexuality and realize that you are with HER, not with a guy, and that you love HER.
You shouldn't have to walk on eggshells around them, though. You have every right to be with this guy and have fun with him, and I agree about acting normally.
You're not wrong to be selfish, though. Even though they still love you and haven't done anything catastrophic, you still deserve their support!
