Haven't come out to him yet but you were ready to come out to the whole internet ? I don't want to shame you but man come on grow some balls ๐Ÿ˜‰

[-] HatchetHaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 6 days ago

to be clear, i've been out to the rest of my family for a long time, and i am very open about my sexuality (even irl, which takes at least some balls because i'm not in a very lgbt-friendly region). the reason i am not out to my father is that he has always been a traditional "man of the house" person, and i am not driving a wedge in our relationship by letting him know that his ideal bloodline ends with me.

if you don't understand the cultural contexts in which i reside, do not assume my intentions or degrade my decisions.
