    So i'm gay and recently i have found that being in the closet is a stress on me. I would like to come out and have my life easier and live for myself. I would like to come out to my dad firs as I believe he would be the most accepting of any one in my family. I just need to know how others did it. I dont just wanna go up to him and be like hi dad, i had a nice day at school oh and by the way im gay!....:help:

    I think the best way for you to tell your dad is to just sit down with him, while no one else is around, while he's watching TV or something. Ask him what he thinks about homosexuality. If you feel comfortable telling him a little white lie, then tell him you have a friend that recently came out and that you accepted him. Then you could tell your dad how it made you feel. Let your dad know about how homosexuality affects you.
