Hi there! I'm Mark, I'm 38, and I'm bisexual. Nice to meet you all! To cut a long story short I discovered for sure I was bi in 2009, and I'm usually more into guys than girls. I'm out to a lot of friends already but think I'm about to take the plunge and come out to my Dad. I've got the email typed already and feeling nervous and wondering if I should send it. I think it's time I did but can't quite work up to pasting it into an email and pressing send, although I think it's a pretty perfectly composed coming out letter for the situation. He lives abroad so I can't do this in person. I don't think he'll react badly but I'm really not sure how he'll react. He's not religious, but he does have some extremely conservative views (for example I had to verbally shoot him down one day when he said gay marriage was wrong but thats another story). Guess I'm half here to say hello, and half to get this off my chest, although I'm not really asking a question that requires a straight answer (definitely no pun intended!) So, hello to you all, and may all of your closets be emptiable ones
Hello and welcome. We almost never can tell how parents or others will respond, but if you in a comfortable place to do it and are ready, then its as good a time as any I hope it all works out positively for you
if it was me (cus im evil) i would not tell him and let im find out by hiself and then tell him that you didny tell him cus he was against gays. but if you want to tell him then tell him
Hello =) I don't think there should ever be a rush in coming out to anyone. It's very difficult, and one should only do it when they are absolutely ready and comfortable with such a big decision. It's something that may take your dad time to get used to, but hopefully he'll completely support you like any father should Good luck!!!
Thanks for all the welcomes I really want to tell my Dad because I'll feel more at ease and won't have to hide anything or lie. It wouldn't be fair on any future boyfriend to put him through any possible coming out stresses, I'd rather my Dad got used to the idea beforehand. And, I'm almost ready... just have to work up to the cut paste and send stage...
Hello, I'm sure your father will support you and want what makes you happy. All the best with him, I can remember telling my dad who is a 'mans man' and he actually reacted better than my mum. Anyway, good luck!
Welcome welcome, should you need any assistance with this e-mail of yours, do not hesitate talk to me and I shall give you my opinion. Enjoy your stay with these lovely people Xxoxox
i will tell you to be prepared for every possible reaction...i told my mom i was gay and she told her bf at the time and he beat the shit out of me for being gay....so after that i be came a hermit and never told anyone.. but you never know every persons reaction is different.
