I came out to my dad after he asked why I joined the lgtbqia+ club at an event, i told him and he started crying. He ran to his room and slammed his door. He now seemly forgot the incident and forgot that I'm gay. Hes saying very homophoic things about other people. I need to come out to him again so he can stop saying things about other people but I'm too afraid to now.

Imma just say with a reaction like that take it slow give it sometime but that’s just my opinion as that is a very extreme reaction is he religious or involved with any religious groups or any places of worship?

dusk pecan
#

Hes Christian yeah

#

He doesn't go to church though or anything

#

I am also a femboy and my dad had screamed at me for hours after finding out that my sister had been giving me some of her clothes, he said how I wasn't right and if I wanted to be loved by anyone I had to dress "normal" and he angrily shoved my closet door open and barged into my sisters room and screamed at her for 1 hour. I dont know what to do because wearing masculine clothes makes me feel very uncomfortable like I'm trapped inside something I dont wanna be in.

#

And I dont know if I want to trust my gut or just keep obeying him

#

He refuses to let me talk in any conversation with him

That’s confusing to me a guy who hates gays but not for religious reasons maybe it’s masculine thing then he feels he failed you due to you not being well in his eyes a man if you get what I’m saying most fathers want there sons to be just like them so seeing this and hearing you say your gay could have confused him but the anger part I can understand as that’s a common reactions it’s the crying part which confuses me like he lost someone if this makes sense it’s just want I think

Its because he divorced his old wife just so he could get a boy to pass down the name.

That’s why now it makes sense to me he doesn’t want the family name to disappear and I understand where he is coming from as I had the same fear it’s normal tho just cause your gay tho doesn’t mean you can’t have a bio kid there are ways for that and then boom family named solved

#

But some advice I will give you is fake it and if your old enough bring home a girl a friend of yours someone you know that he doesn’t say she is your girlfriend and gauge his reaction and then slowly introduce him into it as this takes time lots of time

dusk pecan
#

Okay.

#

Whats really weird is that he changed his last name for no reason

upbeat plank
#

Wait he did? Is it a last name you know and was this before or after you came out

dusk pecan
#

He changed his last name before I was born. He simply just changed it from what it was

#

My sister is lesbian but he only seems to care about the fact that I'm gay which that's how I know this

#

This is a personal question which you don’t have to answer but did he have a good relationship with his father

dusk pecan
#

His father died from painkillers overdose

#

He didnt really see his parents and had to live by hinself

Nope

#

His parents would work until 10 pm

#

Earlier you said he divorced his old wife was she your mom?

dusk pecan
#

No, he found my mom and just married her just so he could have a boy

#

My mom seems to be sick of him but stays with him so we dont have a hard childhood

#

Hm that’s confusing is he a practicing Christian even reading the bible and when he yelled at you did he mention anything religious

dusk pecan
#

Not at all

#

He hasn't gone to church in maybe like 30 years

upbeat plank
#

What did he say when they yelled at you?

dusk pecan
#

He was saying about how I could only like girls

#

And on the other occasion he said how I cant wear girls clothes

upbeat plank
#

No religious reason?

dusk pecan
#

Not at all which is weird

upbeat plank
#

Now that’s confusing usually they use religion as a backbone to support there claim but he was yelling at you like a father would if he were punishing you like you did something wrong

#

If I may ask was he present a lot in your life or was he more withdrawn

dusk pecan
#

He is present a ton

#

He has intense anger issues. And after he's done insulting me he sees me cry and starts acting like he did nothing wrong.

upbeat plank
#

Very personal question so imma use a scale are you between 15-18 as I want to know if he is yelling at your thinking your having a phase or if he thinks your for real as I’m trying to understand his point of view

He starts comforting me after screaming at me about a few minutes later.

#

He starts saying stuff like "I wasn't trying to be mean" and the next day he does the exact same thing.

upbeat plank
#

Was his parents religious?

dusk pecan
#

I dont think so

#

The religious people are on my mom's side.

upbeat plank
#

Have they given you issues?

dusk pecan
#

No

#

They dont know

upbeat plank
#

I’m lost then and I’m tired I can continue to help you tomorrow but for now take my advice bring a girl home and sell that image and tell me what changes when you do it

dusk pecan
#

okay
