so i was watching glee and my dad was in the room (for whatever reason he becomes obsessed with any lady gaga performances lol) so he was watching the songs, and then there was a scene where blaine and kurt said i love you to each other, and my dad was like "ugh, are they boyfriends?" I said yeah and he was like "don't you find that disturbing?" and i told him no and he was really surprised that i have no problem with it. he doesn't know that i like boys (idk if im bi or gay though), and this whole incident just makes me think if i told him it would ruin our relationship. what should i do?!?

He'll probably grow to learn that not all homosexuals are apes and savages when he realises that somebody close to him is one.

Yeah, and make him watch more glee, my dad likes it now but my mom hates it because Sue misuses that girl with down-syndrome.

If you have a good relationship with your dad he'll probably accept it.
I'm guessing he's not one of those crazy religious people that are like "You bring shame to our family/You darken our doorstep", seeing as you didn't mention it.
So either he's not used to it, or he's just never really thought that much about it. He'll probably just not know what to make of it, and then he'll get used to it.

My best friend is homophobic, but she doesnt actually know anyone who's gay or bi. Someone once told her that they were questioning their sexuality and she was telling me about it saying "Wow how awkward was that.. like wtf!?". But I'm pretty sure if I told her I was questioning or even bi or gay, or if any of her friends told her that then she'd stand up for me/them. She's get used to it and realise that there's nothing wrong with it. I'm sure your dad will do the same. I hope your dad will do the same.

Alot of people are homophobic because they dont have someone close to them that are LGBT. I think he may have overreacted a little bit because they didnt even kiss it was an I love you (WHICH I FOUND SOOO CUTE! especially Blaines eye during it) but I think if he watches more shows and see's its not that much different with gay characters, he may open up a little more. He watches Glee which is a step on its own, because alot of straight boys would be hesistant to watch that show.

well i wouldn't say he watches glee, just the lady gaga performances lol, but anyways thanks everyone for all the advice :)

and i just feel like adding that after glee covered bad romance last season, he blasted it in the morning for over a month, until i deleted the episode against his will. he even bought the whole episode on itunes just to listen to bad romance, he wasn't aware at the time that glee releases covers of the songs as actual songs lol

My Dad was like that with Queer As Folk, he walked in while I was watching it on DVD and he asked if I found any of it disturbing, when I said no he looked shocked, and when I came out a few months later he was fine with it. Just follow your heart, you'll know if it's right or wrong. :)

Well firstly, your dad must be slightly open to homosexuality if he watches Glee as my father refuses to. Secondly, if he truely loves you he will change his feelings towards gay individuals. I know of people who were homofobes, but changed because of their friends or relatives 'coming out', so if you figure out you are gay/bi than just come out and hope it all works out as keeping it a secret isn't healthy.

I'm sure he'll change when he finds out you're bi or homosexual,you said you're confused.It WILL take him some time though,do believe that.
