The dad rating scale.

I think 6.

 

I guess my parents would be somewhere around 3 - they'd never accept the gay-thing - would certainly be disappointed, but wouldn't drop all contact with me.

 

dad = 7
he knows i am gay and still loves me but conversations about it freak him out a little i can tell.

mom = 10
my mother is wonderful she loves me more because i told her i was gay and we even talk about my sex life and all facets of men together

 

my dad --> 2, he would hate me if i came out, but he would call every so often

my mom? --> minus 10!! ha ha! no actually...probs 0, she would chuck me outta the house!

 

um, mum... about 7 or 8 i suppose, i have no idea how she'll take it

but dad, i think he's forgotten! but a solid 9

 

Somewhere between 5 and 10.

 

I AM a dad, so speaking from my standpoint, I would give myself a 20 out of 10. That goes for my wife, too. And I would be that even if I wasn't who I am.

 

My Dad : 9/10 he knows and doesn't really care about my sexuality
My mum : 9/10 same as dad
I think its partly cus we arn't religious.

 

My mom: 11/10
My grandfather (her dad) was gay, so I have that on my side.

My dad: 7/10
He's accepting, but it would make things extremely awkward between us. Also, slightly amusing.

 

if that's true then i am screwed!

 

My dad is probably a 7 or 8. I can tell he is a bit uncomfortable talking about it, but he still fully supports me and will pay for me to go out to the gay club, etc. He doesn't get in my way at all and still just wants me to be happy. He also tries to make an effort to talk about stuff like America's Next Top Model a bit with me when it is on.

My mom is like an 8 or 9. She is fine with my being gay but I can tell she wanted grandkids from me the most out of the kids, so is a bit dissapointed in that respect. >.<

So overall, I am very lucky with both of my parents! Thank god my entire immediate family are all democrats (except for my sister, but at least she isn't Republican, more middle of the road). My extended family are all super Republicans though. :s

 

Dad: a ten out of ten. Marvelously spiffy chap.
Mom: My age is a factor here, I think. But, for now- eight or nine.
Gods, I'm lucky...

I would say my dad would make my life the hardest although I would rate him maybe a 7, he would accept but he would want to help me (which means they should allow me to do my thing and thats it...)
my mom on the other hand I predict an 8 or even a 9 although we are catholic we do remain Dutch and living in a country that was one of the first to accept gay marriage does make it easier in that sence...

 

Unfortunately, my dad would prolly score a 2 on this scale

 

my parents would probably both be 9s or 10s, I'm just too damn scared to tell them.

 

You are one very blessed person to have the folks you do!

 

If you rate them that high, you might want to work on it. Speaking on behalf of a lot of parents (and not just because I'm on your team) we just want our kids to talk to us and be honest. That gives us the message we're raising our kids right.

 

My dad's about a 7, he never talks about it, but that also means he doesn't say anything bad about it. My mother would be a 9.

 

Um. A 6 or 7, possibly? I won't know 'til I tell him. :x
