    We were at a music festival the other night and we had a couple of beers (though we were sober enough to drive, so hopefully this didn't get dismissed as buzzed bullshitting), and we were walking back to the car. Somehow we got to talking along the lines of living life for yourself and being happy, and my dad says something like, "dude, as long as it makes 'em happy, I don't care whether they're dating guys or girls." Immediately I thought, "oh fantastic, the field's open, JUMP" and I said, "Honestly Dad... I'm kinda into both." And he says "And that's great. You don't have to tell me, you don't need my permission to date who you want."

    And I thought... cool.
