I know it's difficult to be in the closet, but considering that your parents are homophobic, it's probably best that you stay in the closet for now. Your safety and wellbeing should always be your #1 priority
Labels aren't terribly important, and if you're aroace I doubt it's going to be an issue that gets pushed hard. They may ask if you're seeing/crushing on anyone from time to time out of a desire for you to be "normal", but even that is more about them than you. Parents just want to know they didn't screw you up. The demi part is probably the bigger trigger. Look for little ways to express yourself. Small wins are big wins. Regardless, as Elijah says, your safety is the top priority.
very well said
