What do i do when my dad wont except me being a lesbian?

Answer 1

Give him time. It is difficult for a parent to accept at first. It takes some longer than others. As parents we invest to much love, time, and effort into our children. We do it because we want so much for you. Often times we have dreams for our children and it blows our mind when you decide to grow up and make decisions for yourself. Think of how long your father has known you. It may take him just as long to accept you as a different person than his little girl.

Answer 2

Ignore Simba there. Running away is never an answer. For one, how old are you? Age could be a factor in your dad's reluctance to accept your sexuality. Also, how was your dad raised? Does he have any Christian upbringing? If so, that could also contribute to his inability to accept your sexuality. But the number one reason I bet he's having issues is because, no matter what, you will always be "daddy's little girl" and this is not something he had in his plan for your life. All good father's have a special love for their daughters and expect nothing but wonderful things for them. Your dad may be fighting this because he knows the hardships you will face being a lesbian. Good dad's only want the very best for their daughters, and most dad's do not view being a lesbian as the best route to happiness. I'm sure he will come to terms at some point in his life. Put yourself in his shoes and realize that you have delivered some information no parent ever really expects from their child. Love your dad as you always have and be patient. He will always love you, this just may be something he can't support you in.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Depends on how old you are, if your are old enough to move out I say go for it. Because if he isn't going to accept the person that you are, you are just hurting yourself hearing all his negative comments each day about your personal preference. Your not going to stop being a lesbian and he won't stop being your dad, but you can always stop living there. And if you can't move out right now, I say see if you can stay over at your friends house for a while during the week. Or just avoid your dad all together when he is home.

Answer 4

Don't push it into his face. It will take a while for him to come around (maybe never), but eventually he will have to accept that his daughter has chosen a different lifestyle from his own. Right now, he is probably hurt and wondering where he went wrong. Give him some time. Good luck! ;)

Answer 5

Give him time. He will come around. That isn't easy for parents to hear. Some parents are still old fashioned & believe that homosexuality is very wrong. He should come around although it might take a while. If not, live your life the way that you choose, as long as it makes YOU happy.

Answer 6

As long as he loves you everything is OK. Sometimes parents can't accept the choices their children make but they still love them. Just be who you are and know he loves you but may never accept your choice, or give it time and maybe one day he will.

Answer 7

There's really nothing for you to do. It's up to him. Live your life as you see fit and perhaps he will come around. But prepared for the possibility that he won't.

Answer 8

decide which relationship is most important to u ...ur dad or the lesbian one

Answer 9

its your personal choice to be a lesbian. don't be too aggressive seeking acceptance just relax and don't force your dad to accept it.

Answer 10

The best thing to do would be to return to a normal lifestyle.

Don't flaunt your gay lifestyle in his face. Maybe in time he will come around...

I don't think I would if it were one of my kids though.
