My Dad Surprised Me Today!
-
OP, i believe this is a good thing.
a parent who really cares for his/her offspring would be concerned (just like your dad) and would be able to detect something out of the ordinary (and by ordinary, i meant heterosexuality).
you may have been very careful about not exhibiting stereotypical gay traits but since your father is concerned he has, in his own way, known you deeply by just observing you and looking after you, he has already formed some sort of "idea" of what you might be.
while he may have shown you signs of being slightly misconstruing homosexuality (e.g. the cause of AIDS, etc.), at least he has opened up to you and opened his mind about the possibility that you might be a friend of dorothy or at least a cake boy!
it is very hard for heterosexual males to accept the fact that one of their offsprings might be a homosexual but the fact that he didn't get angry when you asked if he fooled around with a guy (which is, btw, indirectly telling him that you think he might be queer - which a lot of straight guys find offensive) is a good sign. it means he is more open-minded to the issue on hand than most straight guys and this will make it easier for you to open up to him.
i would suggest that you slowly open up to him about your life, passion, experiences (the harmless ones first) because he would appreciate knowing you more and in the process you'll discover a lot about him as well (which makes for a very good male bonding experience which is very hard for straight guys to do).
and when you think it's right or that he can take it already, tell him the truth.
as a caring and loving father, i think he deserves that!

oh and, since its already august and your post about the skin bumps was in may, i hope its already gone by now.
otherwise, we're talking either a long-term infection or a tumor/cancer/cyst.

Hi everyone,
I'm really sorry it took me so long to respond to you. I forgot I posted this. Well first, the infection is gone. My doctor said it was the deoderant I was using. I guess I'm allergic to anti-perspiration and I can't use certain body washes or soaps. I felt blessed that it wasn't anything more serious than an infection. It took about two weeks to clear up. Secondly, I think my Mom does know I mean I'm 24 and have never been out with a girl what does that tell you. Third, nothing else really happened after that conversation with my Dad. You see he's lost a couple of family members in the past months from cancer and he's busy getting himself checked out so we really haven't discussed anything about my sexuality but when the time comes will talk about it again. He's been having the blues lately which is totally understandable. I just hope things get better for him. He really is a great dad. Thank you all once again for all the responses and sorry it took me so long to respond.
All the best, men4life -
I'm 24 and have never been out with a girl what does that tell you.
Well, it depends. I didn't have my first real date with anyone until my 30s… I mean, a real date, where more than one person shows up, and you go somewhere, and do something together (even if it's just each other
) -
You're fortunate. My mom just said something along the lines about me liking it in the "poop chute"

Indeed… Most of the parents doesn't care about the lives of their children after some age.
They just behave as all the parent-job was done, so... No need to be supportive or some sorta of friend.
Hope everything is okay now. And keep us posted. -
They both know you're gay, they probably talked about it already.
They seem to take it naturally, just let them know and to another thing! -
I think your dad is a really nice guy.
-
cool dad
-
congratulations
you dad is pretty COOL! :cheers: -
Of course your parents, both, know and they have discussed it! Very nice and very moving… Take care and tell them yourself, it is going to be so relieving!
-

-
To be honest its probably just in-grown hairs.
-
family is all
-
such a cool dad! i wish my dad has the same reactions or that we can openly talk about these kinda stuffs openly.
my parents are old school and very conservative so the open mindedness is close to a blur.Happy new year everyone!
-
It means that you have a pretty cool and understanding Dad. The fact that he is open in his discussion about sex, shows that you really don't need to worry about anything :).
-
You have such a nice dad. I'm sure your parents already know that you are gay and they are ok with it.
-
Are you the only child?
-
If you feel ready to come out, you really should
