However, and I mean no disrespect here, my father isn't you're father. My father is an elitist, a biggot, and just a terrible person all around. I've never had a close relationship with him, nor will I ever. He looks down upon people who are doing well for themselves... I was told at a young age that if I ever tried to bring a friend over that wasn't white they would be shot before they crossed the property line...<br /><br />With that said, I do agree with you, just not in my situation. A child coming out to a parent as 'gay' is hard for most parents to swallow, especially initially. They wonder where they went wrong, what they could have done differently... it does take time. And just because you don't get a positive response at first, it doesn't mean that your parents love you any less... Thanks for the feedback! Hope you're having a wonderful New Year!M@tthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11120402195907282817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4878361394078504221.post-75857272348683895452010-12-19T00:08:05.163-08:002010-12-19T00:08:05.163-08:00Also, never take a pot shot at your folks when fir...Also, never take a pot shot at your folks when first coming out (especially a public one). We should to try to be understanding of our parents (at least at first) when we come out. Whether its fair or not, its hard on parents at first and many of them DO need time to adjust. They may react angrily, or depressed, they may say some terrible things that they do not deep down mean, etc, and we have to try to be patient with them. <br /><br />That being said, if you were being sincere and loving to your father when you posted the "Sorry Dad" thing, then ignore this. ;) But a lot of people aren't all that sorry these days when they say "sorry" but instead use it as a way to be "in your face" and cocky.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4878361394078504221.post-63270322963129777432010-09-28T13:45:51.392-07:002010-09-28T13:45:51.392-07:00As always, you are amazing!
