I am sorry that you can't be honest with the person who should love you unconditionally. We try to be all the things our parents expect and want us to be and we hurt ourselves more in the long run.

We have four sons - all are "straight" We have just adopted you as our fifth son. We are now more balanced with the energy that you have brought into our family. Thank you. C & J

If you really love your Dad you will keep your secret.

I'm sorry you feel like that. I hope one day you are able to tell your father to tell him the truth and I hope it accepts it. Ignore the ignorant ass comments. To all the stupid ass people - How do you know it's a guy who posted this? It could've been a woman. Stupid being so damn hateful and judgmental.

^^^^^ again, it could be a gay female. In that case, that wouldn't work.

He may already know, it's difficult for fathers to understand, follow your heart and good luck.

I was close to my father but I never told him. To tell him would have just opened a can of worms that would have destabilized the family. I don't care about sex anymore, so it doesnt really matter.

I hear what you are saying. I never came out to my late parents or my siblings. My parents were good people, hard workers, and well liked in our community. Their lives revolved around the parish, and their volunteer work for charity. They were good people, and they were fine parents, but coming out to them would have imposed something on them they could not understand. They would have thought: "What did we do wrong?" I have a lesbian friend, and we "cover" for each other for business dinners and family gatherings. It works for us in our small city, and that's what matters.
