    Hi everyone,

    I think I mightve just came out?!:icon_redf

    I was sitting on the sofa with my dad and we were talking about an elderly relative thats gome into a care home...
    And then silence

    Then he goes in a funny accent " I wonder if you'll turn out to be gay"

    So I mumbled something like "It doesn't make an difference "

    I could feel my cheeks and ears getting redder and redder blushing

    And then he said "So we can't expect any grandchildren from you"

    So I said, "No thats what my sisters for lol"

    And he said " Why are you goin so red"

    So I just mumbled "It doesnt make any difference"

    What the hell did I just do!!

    He better not tell everyone, but he's got a big mouth:frowning2:

    I didn't want to come out until I'd left home so I'm slightly in shock

    Advice guys?(*hug*):help:

    Sounds like you did come out. And it didn't sound like your Dad is against it.

    Sounds to me like you did come out, at least he doesn't seem to be against it. What's done is done so don't beat yourself over it. :slight_smile:

    That's fantastic. Your Dad sounds like he gets it. I'm sure he was one of the biggest hurdles you thought about. Now take a deep breath and enjoy the moment.
