I'm gay.

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

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

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

Exactly why I never came out to my parents. I think they knew, since my stepfather would semi regularly tell me that if I came out as gay he would kick me out of the house.

Jokes on him, he's dead now and I'm still bisexual.

Such a weird thing to say. You can be the gayest gaylorld, but don't let me find out.

Conservative rural Christianity. It's fine to be gay as long as no one ever knows about it.
