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 faggot.”
>Go to my room

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

      I was given a very specific (but non-inclusive) list of people I was not allowed to bring home. That included any and all women, naturally, but also included any and all men of any colour darker than germanic-european-white, and indeed any men of a religion other than young-earth-creationists.

      Breaking any of these rules while still living in the house would have meant my expulsion from the house. I’d like to say my mom wouldn’t have allowed him to kick me out but I really don’t know.

        Always found it offputting how often I hear about people’s step parents being somehow worse than their biological parent, and their biological parent being totally cool with it.

        Not saying that’s your situation. Just something I thought about. Like my friend growing up had a cool mom and dad, but his step dad was the biggest asshole ever. And his mom was totally cool with it. Guy tried to break my ps3 cause we were playing COD and he had an unspoken rule of no M rated games in the house. And all the times he called me homophobic slurs, even though I’m not gay. His mom was great though, so it made no sense.
