So your dad is gay. Big deal. Is he not entitled to his happiness in this life? If you hate being around him because he is gay, you are hating him for all of the WRONG reasons. His sexual orientation is his life and his business. That has nothing to do with how good of a father he is to you.
If you have a problem with him, you need to talk to him about your feelings. But you need to give him the same respect when he talks to you about his feelings. [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]

Daimeera answered Thursday February 15 2007, 9:24 pm: I suspect he didn't actually "used to be straight." He might have been in denial, or he might have tried to change himself, but that's not something you suddenly choose or decide.
He's still the same person. He has a different taste in partners, but he's still the same dad he always was. I would bet he still loves you just as much as ever, and if anything, now that he's "out," he probably has less to worry about and even more chance to love you.
I bet it's a huge weight of his mind. Try and be happy for him, even if it's not easy. You'll get used to it, and you'll learn that he's still the same person he always was. [ Daimeera's advice column | Ask Daimeera A Question ]

He's still the same man just a different orrientation. You know? Even though you hate being around your dad knowing that he was once straight. But there's not much of a difference he's still the same person.
tommys_baby answered Thursday February 15 2007, 4:03 pm: Hi. I really don't get what your question is, but I'll try to give you my opinion.
Obviously, your dad is an adult, and unfortunatly there is nothing you can do to change his feelings. But try calling him one night, and tell him how you feel. He should care about your feelings just as much as he does yours.
Sometimes people change, and it really sucks. Just tell him how you feel, and have a "heart to heart" talk. It should make you feel a lot better.
