    Gulp! I have now sent the email coming out to my judgmental, homophobic father and my mother. We will see what happens. Next step, my ex-wife and kids. Not many left after that. Now it's time for a drink with my boyfriend!

    Thanks everyone. MY dad sent me an email, and his reaction was completely positive. I will talk to him and my mom tomorrow. As with most people, the anticipation was far worse than the reality.

    Well - if the response from your 'judgemental homophobic father' was positive - I guess that has to be good.

    Congrats!
