I Chose to Stand in the Sun

Today, I came out to my Dad. Basically he'd been behaving strangely and calling on the phone and not really having anything to say.

I asked if he wanted to ask me something about my personal life and he brushed it off for a 3rd time that day so I let it go.

Then he came home unexpectedly. That's a 6 hour drive. But he was still being weird.

So finally I went downstairs and was like "What do you want to ask me?" He said he wasn't saying anything because he might have harsh words and plus I always do the opposite of what they say.

I told him, I don't do the opposite. I'm usually telling y'all after I've made up my mind. So I asked "is there something you want to ask me about my personal life?"

He said "Your mother thinks you're a lesbian."

I responded "So is that your question?"

He said yes.

I said "I am a lesbian."

He said "No you're not."

I said "I've been dating girls since high school. X was my first girlfriend."

And then I had to go get take out so that ended the conversation.

I later asked "Why didn't mom ask me herself?"

He said he didn't know but he can't believe a child of his is gay.

So....that's all I got so far. He apparently hasn't told my mother yet because she hasn't said anything to me. Let's see how this unfolds.....
