    I just came out to my dad, and he was very accepting of it. He seemed really worried, and said I was probably going to have a rough life and all that, but he said that it didn't change his opinion of me at all.

    So, now I'm out to both of my parents. I still live in redneck central though, so there's no way I'm coming completely out of the closet here... but I at least feel better to get it off my chest.

    Hey, there! Welcome to EC! I'm also a bit new here...Congrats on coming out to your dad, and props to him for accepting it. Don't worry about having it rough. I believe that it's actually a choice to have it rough or easy. You just have to have the right mindset for it. :eusa_clap:eusa_danc(!):eusa_danc:eusa_clap

    Congratulations on coming out to your Dad!

    You might consider moving to Portland, since it wouldn't be out-of-state for you. Or somewhere else that's a good environment for LGBT people. If you really can't come out where you are, I strongly recommend going someplace you can.

    Life is too short to live it as someone else.

    Your father sounds like a level-headed, educated guy. I like him.
