Coming out to my dad
A few years a go, I met a guy I really liked, and as such we formed a relationship...problem was i was still living at home with my dad at the time, and he didn't know i was gay....so I thought the best way to 'come out' to him, was by simply allowing my new boyfriend to stay at our house in my room...and hope that i could just say to him...hey did this is my BF...oh by the way I am gay and carry on as if nothing had happend.

Well it didn't quite go like that...My BF stayed with me, and ended up staying for just over 2 weeks before my dad came up to me and said...son we need to have a talk......

I felt soooooo uncomfortable, and in the end had to just sit him down and blurt it out...'Dad....I am gay and **** is my boyfriend......he was very shocked as I don't come accross as a big flamboyant camp queen, and more of a 'normal' bloke....He offered to take me to a doctors to 'get you fixed'

I blamed the shock for that outburst!

I am still unaware of any doctor that can 'fix' a gay mans gayness..not that i would want to be fixed...I rather like being gay.

p.s hello to all b3tans as I am a first time poster....please be gentle with me!

Don't worry about the gentleness here
us QOTWers get bullied by all the other so we are generally nice to each other here.

Perhaps he meant...
...like a dog is 'fixed'.

He wouldn't want you producing more gays, would he?

Oh, hang on.

My son came out to the then Mr Quar and me when he was 16
and we weren't shocked, only surprised.

I asked, how d'you mean, gay? and he said, well, I fancy men, not women...
To which I wittily replied, well, I fancy men too, does that make me a lesbian?

For some reason, Sonny wasn't amused.

Help
When I came out to my mother, after the initial silence, she wanted to know if we could go to a 'help group' together. Erm?

I also did not want to be helped. Nor did I want to sit in a circle and talk through my 'problem' with other bemused strangers.

Parents are weird. Have a click!

Nice one
My parents were quite disappointed when I turned out to be straight... apparently I had the mannerisms of Quentin Crisp in my early teen years... *click*
