    Yes, the title is a Meatloaf song. :grin:

    Officially 2/3 grandparents know now. My mom's mom, and my dad's dad. :roflmao: Just my dad's mom now...

    But anyway, Father's day meal with Dad and his parents (plus Dad's girlfriend, my sister, my uncle and my cousin), while parents and Grandma were washing up and we were discussing gender roles and masculinity/feminity, and I kept saying "Trust me, I'll NEVER wait hand and foot on a man." And he kept saying, you'll change, you'll change" and even though it was Father's Day and probably not the best of days to say it, the conversation and the oppurtunity arose and so I whispered it in his ear.

    He basically thinks it's a phase, but he won't stop loving me for it. Basically I shouldn't make up my mind yet, as he put it. But he said he won't tell anyone, and he thanked me for being honest.

    So there we go, he knows now.

    That's great Holly! Way to go! :slight_smile:

    I agree with Louise, in time your dad will see that it isn't a phase but he will still love you and accept you.

    Noice!

    That's a really great response from any grandparent, in my opinion. I'm not planning to come out to mine for a veeeery *VEEEEERY* long time.

    Congrats Holly!

    I'm planning on coming out to my grandma soon(But I've said that before and it didn't happen....oh well....). I'm pretty sure she will react fine. She is very liberal and open-minded.

    ^Haha, I didn't plan on telling any of mine, but when oppurtunity arises you just think "Go for it", and now I'm on 2/3 grandparents. Whether it extends to other family, only time will tell...
