    I was on the EC anonymous forum, right? And my dad walks up and stares at the screen and asks "what is Empty Closets?" I say "it's nothing." Usually I would change windows, but I had nothing else open so I'd have to go to desktop, which is a picture of two guys kissing, and I thought he'd appreciate that even less. After scanning the screen for a few very long seconds he walks starts to walk away but he stops in the hall, like he's thinking. He stays there for about a full minute, then goes downstairs and calls for my mother, which means he has something to talk about. He's still completely in denial about the fact that I like guys (a bit more than girls right now), and I'm afraid this could jar him out of it rather violently.
    Any kind words or advice are much appreciated. Love y'all!

    Frankly, there's not much to do. You've told him you're bisexual. If he needed to see you talking to other gay/bi folks to make it real to him, so be it. You may be called in to have a bit of a talk with your parents, but that'll just be to verify things. You might want to invite him to watch over your shoulder while you show him around EC, so you can show him it's not a porn site. :slight_smile:

    Thanks Lex, although I think he'd be happier if it was a porn site. So long as it was straight porn.
