marissa828 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 BF's father was gay. He is constantly making "gay" jokes and seems to be uncomfortable with homosexuals. He's 47 and was adopted by this man and his wife. He almost resents that his father was gay. What can I do or say to reassure him? I get uncomfortable when he makes jokes and feel he is disrespecting his father by doing so. HELP! Link to post Share on other sites
whichwayisup Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Nothing he does or says is going to change the fact his father is gay. He needs to come to terms with it. His father is still father, gay or not. Your boyfriend has to accept this. Maybe he has fears because his father is gay, he'll be gay one day? That could be a huge factor in his head. If anything, suggest to him some therapy. It will help him cope with emotions, anger and questions he has about it. Hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites
