All the time I write on my hand something about the LGBTQIA community. So I was the car with my dad and he just dropped me off at my place and he looked at my hand and said "don't draw stuff like that on your hand" I didn't say anything to him and just walked out. I didn't say anything since. So, this makes it even harder for me to come out to him. Please help! :help:
What exactly did you write? It would have probably been helpful to have asked him what exactly he meant, because the single response that he gave is subjective. It is very possible that he might not be completely comfortable or familiar with the LGBTQ community without outright hating those apart of it. Hate is a strong assumption to pull from this simple experience. Not to mention, many parents are not fond of their children drawing on themselves in general. It isn't a very healthy habit to get into.
It might also be that he's worried about you being out publicly rather than the fact that you're gay. He may be worried about you getting bullied or singled out.
This might sound stupid, but my dad gets mad when I write stuff on my skin because its 'bad for my skin' or something like that... anyways he might not have seen exactly what it was about, he might just not want you writing stuff all over your skin.
I wrote Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Questioning/Queer Intersexual and Asexual on my hand. My dad doesn't know I'm gay I've come out to basically to half of the intermediate grades.
