What would you do if you found out your dad is gay?

I had a friend whose father is gay. he said they were not aware of it since he manage to hide for so long. He even manage to have 13 children. His father's true sexuality only came out when he reached the middle ages, it could be the product of a midlife crisis i don't know but he decided to come out in the open. He started to wear make up and started his own parlor business. What's sad is his father bring home his boys, according to my friend they are almost of the same age and his father don't care about what they'll say. My friends mother decided to leave his father but being unemployed they were forced to approach their father for financial support and just kept their complaints to themselves. I wonder what happened to him and his family becuase it's been a long time since i last saw them.

i would accept that because i am gay too so i wont feel any different if he tells me he is who ever dont accept that more power to them ...but if this is how your father is comfortable being then so be it.

I really don't know how I would have reacted at first had that happened. It's sad that gay people have had to feel the need to hide their true sexuality by getting married and having families. When the truth comes out it has to be quite a shock to the family. I know that I loved my dad very very much and I'm sure that it would all work out and we'd still be as close as ever.

i would be shocked and hurt and might not even talk to my father for a year or so. but in the end reason would catch up and the love and sacrifice he gave to all of us his children and my mother would not go unaccounted for. besides it is not one's gender preference that matters but one's sole worth as a person.

I don't know if i can accept that. my dad is too old to become gay but i highly doubt it since he's strong and proud like any other man. it's impossible otherwise i might not talk to him either, it might take years of acceptance but it won't be that easy

A father is a father no matter what. As long as he is doing his responsibility as a father I will have no problem with it.

HI, wow, this one is tough... I would not speechless or might just stuck in my throat. I dont know what to say... but I can't handle it, way too much to deal. If he has a girl then it is better but guy and guy? ewww.... what and why? too much to handle and too much thing to talk about. I might give him sometime to explain me and my mom why... in a really good reason

I would have to see it to believe it; but if it were true, I'd still love him, but would be disappointed.

I stil can't accept the situation of being gay even though the world has accepted it. I feel that it is not a good practice. I will be really upset if soemthing like that would have happened in my family. I have been married for 1.5 years and now thinking about having a baby. I am really scared now. I can never take it when my daughter of son will find out to be a gay. I am praying for it not to happen.

That's harsh.. hmm... I think I'm going to freak out the moment I see his face in a gay bar. I probably won't talk to him for days...or even weeks. But eventually I know I'm gonna have to get over it, because no matter what, he'd still be my dad. Always. And nothing can change that.

Well, my father is a strongly homophobic person, something that I have never respected and I will never will. Because of that, if I suddenly found out that he`s actually gay I would be very shocked. I would probably be angry at him for being lying to him all of his life having a wife and kids instead of accepting himself as what he is too.

depends a lot of the situation in my case I wouldnt care... It would be a bit weird because I'm from a typical family and would be a problem for my mother but in fact I wouldnt mind. but in the other hand we have to see the situation, i think is worst when you realize that your friends father is gay and that your friend doesnt know. worst if they are in a "prestigious" position in their country like happened to a friend of mine.

I'll do nothing. He's still my dad no matter what. So I'll just accept the fact that he's gay and move on. And of course for sure insults will be thrown to us but I'll just ignore them. I'm sure it will die down eventually.
