You're doing fine Dad. Just keep doing what you're doing. Both you and your son seem happy, just go with it until he wants to share.
BadAngelorGoodAngel
Just make sure to love both kids (yeah, you gained a son) equally, and let them know they are both accepted. +1

wtf happened in the comments section tho

My fave part about this post is how he turned around from heroine abuse to look after the kid he had met three times. My mans a beast

I'll be honest, I was expecting a jokey twist at the end, thanks imgur, you've ruined me.

I was suspecting the escalation of coupley things he caught them doing to eventually be full on ass pounding and he still wasn't sure.
trouble4you
I love how many adjectives are used to describe the son.
fafa4201
I wish more parents were supportive of their children like that. Sad that kids have to choose between sharing their lives and keeping family
wandergeist
A friend one day noticed his "proper" church-going mom had a pink triangle refrigerator magnet. He said "Mom, do you know what this means?"
wandergeist
She said "Of course. I'm just trying to be supportive." He didn't think she knew, and she wasn't comfortable talking to him about it.

I noticed one day that my Dad had a rainbow bracelet on. That’s when I knew.

It's unfortunate PFLAG had to exist, but it's great that it does.

I've never understood parents who would disown their child for being gay or trans. Those aren't choices. My daughter told me she's trans
freckledkink
When she was 16 and wasn't scared at all to tell me. She's not out to the people in our town (she doesn't want her brother or cousin to get
freckledkink
Picked on), or to her father's side (they're close minded about things like this, even gay people). I am glad for her being able to go to a

College (whenever schools start up again) that will cover HRT. Our insurance won't cover it for minors.

It sounds like you raised her to be very self confident and self assured in who she is that she could feel comfortable speaking up.
mottledbear
Wow, this is like me. Except my dad stayed drunk. And he repeatedly told me I better not be gay. And only now is he trying to reconnect.
mottledbear
(34, bi-romantic.) He reacts passive aggressively to any sign of me rejecting him, which only pushes me further away. Wholesome. :)

I have 3 boys and short of doing something illegal, I don't care. They can love whoever they want.
GenStrike
Well, see, there was a time that this sort of thing was illegal.

Still is - on the books in some US states.

A truth I sadly could not express in 140 characters.

Way to go dad. This makes me happy. Love to hear there are such wonderful accepting parents out there.

I want to believe this. I do. It definitely sounds written by a 40+ y/o former heroin addict, and not a liar looking for upvotes. Oh wait...

While I have no proof that this is true, I prefer believing the simpler explanation is a genuine good person, instead of a complicated liar.

All of these have such a similar timing and pace to them it feels like there's just one dude cranking them all out in a basement somewhere.

My mom cornered me in a dressing room yelling for all to hear, "are you a lesbian?! Do you like boys or girls?! You better tell me now!"

I was 13 and just wanted to try on jeans and a long sleeve tee. And I'm not a lesbian.

Mine asked me just because I didn't let her know my business. I had 2 boyfriends in high school, and she kept calling me lesbian slurs.

I'll never understand a parent rejecting their child because of their sexual orientation. My 13 year old son has autism and has never (1)
idrinkcheapbeer
spoken a single word. If he suddenly said "dad I'm gay" I'd break down and cry. I love him so much and nothing else matters, (2)
NaughtButOne
If his first words are "dad ur gay", he may not be autistic. Even worse, he might be a League of Legends player.
FlyingGiantElk
Disappointed there was no “hi gay, I’m dad” in there. Good to see this go well regardless.

If you don't make a dad joke if your child comes out, are you even a dad?

I've met young homophobes. You're right that it is more common in old people, but it is still going to be around.

Even in today's climate in US cities (not even huge ones) people who matter don't care. I'm visibly trans and have a great life. (No bf tho)

No magic or sensationalism in the original story. Some repetition of "this is how I knew", but mostly fine.

Imagine if people came out as straight.

It's all about assumptions. Some people do assume straight kids are gay. Have to convince otherwise.
ArtSmarse
Everyone can be like that, some just choose not to be.

The mod comment below the update says enough. Lots of assholes trying to get the post deleted. :/
sunflowersticklemorethanfeathers
I'm hoping that when my kids reach this age or younger that's it's just a non issue, at least in my house.
PolarHailStorm
'This is the world I'm experiencing, how can I make others a part of it?' versus 'I do not want these things in my worldview. It's wrong.'
Somanyquestions
The disowning part always strikes me. Your convictions are more important than your kid and you're not even comflicted about it.
teardropivyyearofthetiger
It’s as rational as saying my kid likes blueberries, when I don’t. I still buy her blueberries!
Jesterr
I don't condone disowning- but if it helps you understand at least where they're coming from... its like walking away from a toxic person.
Jesterr
They feel that person is so... 'bad' that even being around them will damage them. Again, I don't -agree- with that, just can see their side
Jesterr
It's denial, its cruel, and there's probably some form of 'let them suffer' in the disowning. people are shite. people are amazing(like dad)
Somanyquestions
Good point, I had not seen it like this.
Jesterr
I come from a family rife with disowning each other for many reasons. None of them worth losing a child or loved one over.
whateverthevoicestellme
Well technically they _can_ be like that but, you know, religion
IDownvoteAllPoliticalPosts
Religion is a source of it, but not completely. There are plenty of anti gay people that aren't religious or hate due to religion
MrGato
ive met plenty of homophobes who arnt religious
7Spades
Nah man, I'm deeply religious but if my hypothetical son would come to me I'd be cool. You don't choose who you fall in love with
CongratsYouAreHereNow
The church my mom goes to has a gay priest who is welcomed and celebrated. It’s not religion, it’s assholery that’s the culprit. Furthermore
CongratsYouAreHereNow
It’s a proper church, not one of these wear shorts and sandals and play guitar type of churches. Proper vestments, proper sermon, proper
CongratsYouAreHereNow
Hymns, proper gospel, proper communion, proper reverence, proper acceptance of all. Proper
NiceGreenArrows
Nah. Plenty of people are like that despite their religion. Even the Pope has been pretty positive.
dragonfruitsonfire
However, others do use their religion as an excuse to treat people like shit
IDownvoteAllPoliticalPosts
It's all just tribalism, humans will always find a way to hate "others" (others of course being subjective)
ASmallFry
That is true and it’s quite unfortunate. We should all just be good to one another whether we believe someone above is watching or not.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
Just because you use something as an excuse doesn’t mean it’s that thing or person’s fault. Think, “the only reason I crashed my car is
CongratsYouAreHereNow
Because THAT guy was driving bad” or “I should have aced my test but my teacher is out to get me”
Lifeisharddeathissoftlol
I love everything about this. My mom just straight up said if you're gay that's fine one day. I'm not, but we laughed about it 1/2
abacab87
I was surprised when a co-worker announced he's straight.
OtterAvalanche
I mean when my kid is old enough to understand I'll be sure to tell him I dont care who hes in a relationship so long as they treat him well
OtterAvalanche
Regardless of what sex I might think hes interested in. Though I imagine he'll gather that since I'm bi.
ADisturbinglyAttractiveCactus
When I was fourteen my mother told me, "Honey, I just want you to know, I'll love you just as much if you're straight."

Since I never dated in high school is her reasoning lol I was just a late bloomer 2/2

When i moved states my mom asked if it was because I was gay, I wasn't, her dad is though so I said "Your dad is why would I leave is I was?

I've been told several times by multiple family members that's it's okay if I'm gay, but I'm just introvert as fuck.
fluffleupagus
My sisters thought I was gay until I finally started dating. I'm just a tomboy. XD
uptaco
I was rather shy and removed from people in grade school. Junior year my mom asked/said the same thing.
Nututleptek
Same, also told me it was fine if I was trans when I started to grow my hairs ahahah
Tyaldan
More parents need to be like that. If you think they are, and you are accepting, LET THEM KNOW. Even if they arent.
Tyaldan
Theres nothing more damaging to the relationship with your child than them being lgbt and you not accepting. Or thinking you arent.
