Flippy

While it might not sound awkward for you, I've lived in a house in which everything is stereotypical and is related in some way to religion, as my mother is a very fond Christian.
I seriously like anime, I don't have any idea of why, maybe because I find it funny and cute and all of that and my sister and I talked about Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon all the time when I was about 4 years old. These were normal, as they were intended for kids (mostly boys). But the internet comes and I find new ones which are girly, but I find them funny and cute, mostly.
The problem is, my mother is too "stereotypical" and has told me a lot of times, that I should watch other stuff or not even watch them at all, just because they are girly.
I can't confront that, because that would just get me into more trouble, discussing about it would make her thing I'm starting to get attracted to my same sex and as a fond Christian she would make me go to church everytime she could to "guide me through the correct path". It's not that I hate church, I myself am Christian too, I've grown in a Christian family. And no, I am not attracted to my same sex in any way.
The point is I really don't want to stop watching them, and recently I've been starting to learn how to draw it, but I have to lock myself or just do it whenever they're not home, making them think I'm doing something else.
What can I do to deal with this? As I said before, I can't confront them, doing that would make them think my sexual interests are getting different, because they are very stereotypical, especially my mother, my father's all cool and doesn't care what I do as long as it's not illegal, bad for my own self or something negative that would harm me or other people. "Doesn't care" as it doesn't bother him, he won't complain about it, if I like something and it's not bad, it's OK for him too.
But when my mother tells my father he becomes part of her side and protects all her arguments, the odds are against me.
And doing it while locked is driving me insane, I usually have to do something else out of my room so I have to hide the sheet of papers in which I'm drawing, close the tabs, etc, because I know she's going to look at it, I KNOW it.
Help me please .__.
