Properly came out to my dad today. He pretty much knew already, so there was no shock value tied to it. It was a complete non-issue, in fact I'll probably forget the actual conversation soon, just like I've forgotten when/how I came out to my mum. Besides, it was more in the context of him worrying about me, because he could tell that I've been very sad lately, and so it was in that context that I told him. His main concern is my happiness (which should be the priority of every parent, I think), and so he said that he couldn't care less what my sexuality was, so long as I was happy. I'm content in my sexuality, and so that's all that matters.
My parents both reacted in the way people should, but I still feel blessed that they did, because not everyone is so lucky. There is a substantial difference between this generation and the ones that have preceded us in acceptance of sexuality, and unfortunately for some people, this gap shows itself in ugly ways. And for that, I'm proud of my parents.
