What do you care what he does in his bedroom?
Does he put his nose in yours?
You tell your dad, 'cool'..........that's it.

He is the same dad you had before you found out the he is gay. Nothing has changed, except that now you know what his sexual orientation is. If he was a great dad before you found out, then he remains so. Whatever your relationship was before can only be enhanced now, by knowing this very personal thing about him. It is an opporuntity for good things. Love and accept him.

How did you feel toward and about him 5 minutes before he told you? He is no different now than he was then. Right? So all that has changed is that you now know him a little better. Why not build on that and make you relationship even stronger? He needs your love and support as much as you need his. Think this over carefully before you do anything rash and irreversible that you will live to regret. Good luck with this.

There's nothing that really needs to be done. You'll love your dad no matter what, I'm sure he loves you, and he helped create you. makes sure you talk to him about it, because Im sure he wants to know how you feel. He expects for you to feel a little uncomfortable , and you can't be afraid to confide in him. Unfortunately for your dad, he feel between the cracks, and did what many homosexual's do, he denied his feelings to himself, and other's around him, but in doing that, he got you. Appreciate all that he has probably gone through by hiding his true feelings, and appreciate all that he has done for you in your life. Now is the time for your dad to get to be himself, he will go through alot of pain if he is just now coming out. You be his only supporter if you have to. You don't wanna add to your daddy's pain.

I am very happy for him because nothing is worse than trying to pretend to be something we are not. It took a lot of courage for him to make this step and I think it is great. This whole gay anxiety thing is so silly anyway. Hopefully in the next generation the fear of homosexuality will finally be gone from our culture, but for now just support him as you would like to be supported. God made us who we are so we should just relax and love one another.

I wish you had told us more....like your ages, do you live with him? Is he just coming out himself?
I'm gay and have been out for a long long time and have a very good relationship with my 16 year old daughter.
The best advice I can give you with the limited information I have is to not be afraid to ask whatever questions you have....don't make assumptions, ask!
And, of course, keep loving him because I know he will keep loving you.

Did nobody mention your mom in this? Well unless your parents are divorced or you do not have a mother..This definately affects her the most, because she fell in love with him and married him. What you need to do is support both of them. Your dad is the same person he has always been, and there is nothing wrong with who he is right? right!

Love him and support him with all your might. Remember, he didn't just become gay, he has been gay his whole life. It may be new info to you so you may think some sort of action is neccessary, but all he needs from you is to NOT turn your back on him now.

Just remember that he's still your Dad, no matter what. Take a few deep breaths. The world isn't coming to an end.

It depends, I mean, if you're an idiot, you'll criticize him. If you're smart, you'll help him understand himself, and support him. Supporting him is not the same as supporting what he does. If this effects you enough, you might need therapy. Your father has obviously been trying to come out for some time now if you just found out.

Tell him it's a shock, but that you love and support him, just as he's loved and supported you! Be gentle and caring, he's likely dealing with some issues himself. Good Luck
PS. He's the same guy as he was a week ago.
