OH OH SHARING TIME <3
So I came out to my Dad the other day.
I decided to tell him the next time he picked me up, and I made sure he was the one coming to get me. Thankfully, my mom had a holiday party that day, so he had to be the one to come get me.
*Pick up*
Me: Hey dad. [Pause] How was your day? Not too stressful?
Dad: Not really. You?
Me: Fine, fine. [Pause] Say Dad, you know that club I go to on wednesdays?
Dad: Yeah?
Me: It's the Gay-Straight Alliance.
Dad: Gay-Straight Alliance. Okay. Why are you telling me this?
Me: ....Because I'm gay.
[Sudden off-topic conversation about what I do in gsa followed]
Dad: [Pause] So are you sure?
Me: Really sure.
Dad: What made you decide this?
Me: I didn't really decide.
Dad: ....So you do know I knew this already?
Me: I figured.
Dad: Well yeah, Joe. I know my kids very well.
Me: What tipped you off?
Dad: Well.... I dunno. You were always so sensitive. [Pause] Yet, still a manly-man! ....I dunno.
Me: Was it just different?
Dad: No, just.... I don't really know. I just knew. Joe, it doesn't really matter what your sexual preference is. You're my boy.
Me: <3
Dad: [Parental pride shaking knee thing] Such a brave boy you are!
[Awesome conversation followed]
Pretty freaking awesome.
