I’m gay.

My dad is not pleased with this fact. Completely homophobic.

Half the time his homophobia doesn’t even make sense.

>Fishing show on TV in the living room
>Watching it with mom and dad
>Mom: "I don’t have the patience for that kind of stuff
>Me: “It doesn’t feel like too long when you’re out there”
>Dad: “Time flies when you’re a removed.”
>Go to my room

It’s getting ridiculous. He goes out of his way to respond to everything I do by calling me a removed.

      Once saw something saying that all of the Christian "it's fine if you want to choose to be gay, just don't do it in my face" rhetoric is code for:

      "you should be ashamed of being gay, because bring gay is a sin. You should commit sin hidden behind closed doors just like we do, when our priests grope children and husbands cheat on their wives."

      Turn it off, like a light switch

      There, it's gone

      My hetero side just won

      I'm all better now

      Boys should be with girls, that's Heavenly Father's plan

      So if you ever feel you'd rather be with a man,

      Turn it off!

      "Well, I think it's okay that you're having gay thoughts, just so long as you never act on them"

      No, 'cause then you're just keeping it down

      Like a dimmer switch on low, thinking nobody needs to know

      But that's not true!

      Being gay is bad but lying is worse

      So just realize you have a curable curse,

      And turn it off!
