Dad's Reaction Of You Being Gay!?!

[mbamike]

Didn't have the opportunity to tell him. He died.

What he said. Mom too.

I was an emotional wreck when i told my dad. came out of my room, I was crying and weepy. He was just sitting there on the couch. I told him. I was terrified (Looking back I have no idea WHY, but I was).

He just sat there for a second... the longest second of my life, and he said the most reassuring thing he has ever said to me. "Move, you make a better door than a window." I was standing in front of the TV.

I started crying all over again in relief. he asked a simple "You ok?" I nodded. "g'night" he said. and that was it.

And before you go all "he's so insensitive blah blah" That was his way of saying "it don't matter fuck-all if your gay or straight. Doesn't make one bit of difference."

lol

That's pretty much the reaction ma best mate got when he came out to his ma. Started with the traditional,

"Mum, I'm gay..." and she turned round and went,

"And what? Put the fuckin' kettle on."

so i became the son they never thought they would never have a gay punk rocker. a freak if you will.

Snap. Although I didnae end up like that for any particular reason, other than the fact that I was a bit of a freak to begin with

None of my family's business.

i used to think that way

but you know if they expect you to share the most important part of there lives with them........ hey they should expect the same from us.

"I'm not stupid" ended months of fear and trepidation over his reaction. He accepts it but isn't always sure how to deal with it, he's always asking me "is it okay if I say ____" which is kinda cute. Although he's met some of the people I've dated and he's fine with them. We were at a restaurant opening and (objectively speaking) there were two really hot girls at the table with us. When they went to powder their noses my dad said to me, "two hot single girls and the two of you are gay". We all had a good laugh at that.

"I have a choice: I love my son or I lose my son. Please pass the potatoes"

My dad doesn't talk to me anymore, and my mom ignores it.

glad to hear many of you have been accepted by your family

Hopefully they'll wise up!!

Welcome to JUB!

I may tell my siblings one day. The truth is if they knew they would simply use it as fodder.

Ah, good ole sibling love.

I'm not close enough to my father to tell him anything about my personal life, really.

But, I attempted suicide when I was a teenager and my mother, not wanting to own up to her own failures, told all my family members I was gay and that's why I tried to kill myself. My father included.

We've never talked about it, but then, my father and I don't talk about anything.

Mine was pretty embarrassing. I was about fifteen, on holiday and very, very drunk. Got emotional and a little teary, told him I was gay and he was looking at me as if to say is that it? My step brother, who is older than me by about 5 years, came out when he was 14 or 15 to his mom and my dad in a restuarant. They were crying and hugging each other while my dad was sitting there saying "why are you crying? It's not a big deal" He's pretty cool.

 

[operafan]

He certainly is ^^^ Congrats.

Yea i can imagine that whole restaurant thing in my head!

 

[giorgiobaby]

you know everyone knew but no one talked about it........i hate that.

so i became the son they never thought they would never have a gay punk rocker. a freak if you will.

but in the end i was the son who was my parents caregivers when they were dying. was i looking for acceptance or redemption. who will ever know.

funny as hell! My mom looked at me one day and asked me "How the hell are you going to find a boyfriend looking like that?" They never complained about my hair color or piercings

Both parents were shocked but Dad had absolutely no problems with it. Mom did a little bit but never treated me any different. She's cool about it now. I told my older sister first and she was completely cool and confessed that she had a few bi experiences. I came out at age 22.

Strange. I'm writing a screenplay that plays out kind of like that scenario in the restaurant. lol

my parents are fundamentalist christians. I came out to them at age 17 in 1976 during the height of the Anita Bryant anti-homosexual crusade. 30 years and a transexual sibling later they still can't deal with it. Found out ten years ago my father, an ordained minister, has been using prostitutes his entire life (sex addict). He still think's I'm a sinner. He's fine because he's asked God's forgiveness. I don't even talk to the man anymore. My mom doesn't approve of sex between two people if they aren't married, and she certainly doesn't support gay marriage. She basically thinks women today are whores. It would have been nice to have supportive loving parents when I needed them most. I envy gay kids growing up in today's society.
