I got around to it today since he replied (he's been swamped by work so it's understandable) . But I told him and he and my step mom took it surprisingly well. I haven't seen either of them in years and I never knew their position on something like this. I linked them to pflag and hoping one of them gets to reading it soon. My dad's a firefighter so he had an emergency to attend to, so maybe my step mom will. I'm beyond thrilled so now I just need to play the waiting game a bit longer with my dad when he gets back so we can talk more.
