OK, As promised...
Here's my deafo dad getting the news of a lifetime:
Note one: The Welsh translation is only important towards the end
Note two: Yes, my dad is that stupid! Unlike the animation of my mother, this one is 99.9% authentic. (He grabbed a glass at the end, not a bottle)

It wasn't
But I'm all happy now. Any ideas on how to introduce them to my "friend"?

dress up like circus performers

guaranteed to make it less awkward.

Just bring him around
without telling your Dad. If he has to think about it he'll probably have all sorts in his head. But if he meets him like that then he has no chance of getting any questions ready.*
Bring a bottle of wine of course.
*May be awful advice.

Bring him to dinner as a friend
And then say "Dad, please pass the salt to my gay lover".

In fact
This would have worked better if you hadn't told him you were gay already. Use one of those flashy things off Men In Black.

Why were you telling him in Welsh anyway?
It's a silly language

Indeed it is
But he is a silly man, and insists the entire family speaks it

hah, crazy. Just reminded me,
I had to go to Cardiff a couple of weeks ago over the Severn Bridge. Got a bit more closer to Cardiff and saw a digital motorway sign with
"RDHT CHPEPP'S". I made a funny remark to myself about the crazy Welsh language, but 3 miles later realised it was a truncated traffic warning for The Red Hot Chilli Peppers tour.
