Over time she and your father will come to terms with it. Likely she is shocked and blaming herself or asking where she went wrong. Your father will take longer to come around. He has to learn not to hate on his own.
Where is the hate coming from? Usually it's from ignorance or fear. Perhaps he feels threatened by the idea or stereotypes he has seen. Truth is 1 in 20 people are gay so he knows a lot of them but may not be aware.
What do you do next? enlist the help of teachers, guidance counselors, friends you can trust and their parents for support. They can collectively confront your parents and try to get them to see they have to accept you or lose you. Old thinking dies hard. It won't happen overnight.
You should Google PFLAG (Parents and Friends Of Lesbians and Gays) They offer support groups and information for parents and teens and break down walls between them. That's one place to start.
You should also look for support groups, programs etc. in your city for gay youth to find friends that have the same issues in common for support. If you don't know where to look trying looking for the organizers of Pride events as they'll be able to steer you in the right direction.
