Default So I just told my dad

And he said that he knew for years. Then asked me why I though he was telling me all those stories about growing up with transexuals, gays, lesbians and bisexuals. And said he didn't care and that I could talk to him about anything.

I love my dad.

He also said not to tell Mum. I agree with him. She's very very very very very sheltered and just wouldn't understand. If I ever come home with a female partner we'll cross that bridge slower than a glacier.

So glad to hear he was so Supportive!!

What did u think about or of, when he would tell u stories of people he grew up around/with?

Did u ever think that it was to help u feel a bit better about telling him?
Jus wondering, if u understood his way of letting u know it was okay in his eyes...

I thought he was telling me amusing ancedotes to be honest. I didn't even know myself until not long ago so... but it did work. I thought he'd be a hypocrite if he didn't accept it after the stories. Of course, thick as a brick me didn't get what he was saying with the stories until after he told me point blank...

That's brilliant! Congrats!
My Dad used to do something like that, he used to tell me about kissing guys in plays and such. It didn't really work though cause I thought that he was telling me that he was gay

Congratulations! Your dad sounds amazing! And yeah, if you find a perfect girl then you'll have your dad's support to explain it to your mum.
