    I work with a guy who went through something similar. He is ok now, very out and happy with his orientation but still will talk about it, and when he goes home for holidays they still are unaccepting. He’s 40 something and they still have not come to terms with his gayness.

    My daughter’s girlfriend literally started crying one day “you guys are so accepting of me” she practically lives here because her parents are not. WTF, parents? I don’t get this. I live my straight lady life, their lives are theirs, their sexual orientation has no effect on me, unless they like assholes, which they do not, all have great boy-or-girlfriends.

      Tell him this. Homosexuality can develop later in life if you’re not accepting of gay people. In an effort to protect you from gayness, your homofobic body will develop gay antibodies, in time these will alter your DNA by consuming your straight cells and turning you into a big ol’ gay. The only way to prevent this from happening is to be open and welcoming towards all gay people.

          It does work, but because the antibodies wear off over time, it’s necessary to regularly repeat the treatment. This is, in fact, a key driver of the success of Grindr

    Just bide your time and wait for him to say that went by fast or time flies and hit him back with a hard f-word.

    People like Anon‘s dad are the reason why earth is still such a backward hillbilly place. Irrational disdain for harmless things like queerness, meanwhile actual problems and crimes like global warming, PFAS usage, genocide and corruption from top government officials are being ignored.

    Fun fact: Humans are less socially intelligent than apes.

        Peak “fuck you, got mine”. Same with my grandparents, they were anti-immigrant immigrants. Grandpa was also notoriously racist. I laughed so hard when some genome sequencing revealed a ton of sub-Saharan genes in that side of the family. My dad was about 25% African and Grandpa was hella dark. Now how could that be…?

    Honestly wouldn’t acknowledge his existence. A younger version of myself would refuse to believe this was a true story and that people are like that. Now, I’m wise enough to choose my battles. Some people just aren’t worth your time.

    Q: What does that say about dad watching fishing on tv rather than doing it for real on the water?

    A: The man has sucked every dick in town.

    If you’re in a situation like anon, get out of there as soon as you can. Always remember these moments. When your dad gets old and needs your help, tell him “only f*****s need their sons to do stuff for them”.

    I love how asshole parents assume their health will always be okay, and they’ll never need any kind of home care or a place to live. BURNING BRIDGES IS MORE IMPORTANT!

    Homophobe father deserves a Nobel Prize if his proposed sexuality-based time dilation is reproducible under lab conditions.

    Honestly, I think his dad is just a giant abusive piece of shit, who would just use any excuse to beat the shit out of his son.

      My mom went a step further and told me I would never be in a happy and fulfilling relationship if I choose to date men
