Family gets hurt by other family members' actions all the time that have nothing to do with their sexual orientation. We can't do everything that "family" wants us to do and be personally happy. At least that is what I've found. I don't ignore their feelings, but yes mine are more important. I don't treat them like bad people or stupid (even when I think they are), I just say "Look, this makes me happy, you love me, then you should just be happy that I'm responsible, healthy and happy." In my honest opinion if your family tells you want religion, sexual orientation, career ect you should have, and pull support from you without meeting those goals they've set...then they don't have any real love for you. You love someone you want them to be happy and successful, thats it. They shouldn't define what makes you happy, just be happy for you when you find your own definition.
