You have to be strong and confident about what you told him. If you're depressed about it and act like he hurt you then he might see you as being weak or insecure about your sexuality. I'm completely serious that you must act secure and strong when it comes to your sexuality around him... Tell him that you are a lesbian and if he cannot accept you for who you are, then it is only his loss. Don't try and change because he wants you to change... stick with how you feel. He will hopefully get the big picture someday and accept you for who you are... but until then, just stay strong. :-)

I don't have much knowledge when it comes to these issues. But what I can tell you from being apart of a very strong minded family, is.. these things take time. How much time, I don't know? And sometimes the acceptance never comes. I happen to be straight, but what I have done on other issues, and some are just as controversial, is agree to disagree. If you love him , and don't want to exclude him from your life, take that advice. It's very hard not to feel fully accepted, but it's even harder to lose that person all together. And in actuality, you may not really accept him? It's just not worth it in the end!

When people have kids they expect them to be a certain way. You know you were going to get married and give "him" grandchildren. Some people are very selfish. I think you need to sit down and talk with him and ask him why he can't accept it. He will give you his reasons, you need to find out why those reason aren't valid, and maybe some of them are. Some people worry about their homosexual children. I would always accept my homosexual children but I definatly would be affraid nuts would attack them. You need to accept it yourself, tell him how you feel. Look, he may not accept it but maybe you can reach an agreement on how to move forward.

I heard the winning year was year 7.. and it comes with some more of an intellectual and courteous conversation that requires a complete understanding of his perspective. Try this, I'm positive it will work.

Maybe, maybe not. It all depends on him, his religious beliefs, his cultural background and how other family members reacted to him and/or you.
I'm sorry that he's being like this to you, no one should ever have to loose a parents love and unconditional acceptance over this. It's tragic.
I do hope one day he will learn to remember what it means to love his daughter.

i'm really sorry to hear that.
6 years is a long time. it's not up to you to do something about that though, just let him come to terms with me as he gets older. and remember that you don't need his approval to be who you are.

All that matters is that you have come to terms with it. If he chooses to not accept you....that is his loss. Take care of yourself & I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Just like it takes awhile to come out to your parents, your parents need time to get over it and accept.

Deep in his heart, you are his little girl that he loves and always will be but he is dissapointed and maybe somewhat embarrassed at your unnatural choice.
Give him time - will continue to love you as daughter but does not have to accept your life"style".

NO...he wanted to walk his beautiful daughter down the aisle and give her away to a fine young man.
He had (natural) hopes of her becomiing pregnant and giving him grandchildren. That was his porpuse in life.
YOU'RE A DISAPPOINTMENT and if he ever forgives you...I will never forgive him
