    Today I came out to my gay dad (through text because I apparently can't even do it through a phone call :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:) so yeah this was the text ...


    "Hey Dad. I'm gay. You're the only one who doesn't know and that seems idk wrong but whatever thought maybe you should know but I don't want to make a big deal and I don't feel mtch like chatting bout it but tell whoever you want"


    His response was...

    "Ok, we'll talk when I see you. Love U, Dad."

    Which is awesome because that's pretty much the response I wanted. So yeah I am finally finished because he's the last person I felt I had to tell myself. I want to thank EC because I've progressed a lot because of it and if not for EC I'd probably still be completely in the closet like way back when: http://emptyclosets.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6989 It's kind of funny that I planned on coming out to him first but he ended up being last. The world can be tricky like that so yeah, just thought I'd put this in here :slight_smile: (!)(!)

    Oh that's great, congrats. I still haven't told my dad and it's pretty nerve-wracking, so I think that's a real courageous thing to do :slight_smile:

    I think you're very brave and I congratulate you. Can I ask why you were afraid to tell your dad,if he's gay,too? Whatever the reason,I'm happy that everyone took it well and now you can live your life openly.

    Thanks. and yeah they do

    Thanks, I thought it would be nice to show how much EC has helped me.

    Thanks Becky :slight_smile:

    Yeah I was totally in the moment and I didn't want to not do it and regret it later

    Thanks. and I'm really not sure why I was so afraid to tell him. I think it was more the fact of telling the last person then it was telling him, "living my life openly" completely because I never have to look over my shoulder now so to speak that was really more of what I was afraid of I think and yeah he just happened to be that person. I know that it might not make sense why that would scare me but I don't know I'm just so used to having to watch myself, It's a big change.

    Congratulations! I hope you'll enjoy life totally out of the closet!

    I agree, more people should do this.
    In some cases you can see people change enormously over the space of some threads.
