"my Gay Dad"...

[MadMen]

Just having a nose on FB and someone I went to school with has posted pictures of her Dad's recent wedding day, where she was a bridesmaid.
I was flicking through them and thinking "there's lots of pictures of him and the best man". But.... it turns out that was the person he was MARRYING!!

I just don't get it.

[hippyhoppy]

What don't you get..? Her dad married his boyfriend..

[MadMen]

Well the last time I saw her, which was less than a year ago, her Mum and Dad were very much together!

[daffy654]

My mum had 8 kids then decided to announce to the world that actually she was a lesbian and would be moving her girlfriend into the family home as soon as my dad moved out to live with his young girlfriend. Things like gay marriage don't worry me at all :)

I think he is questioning , how can his daughter be a 'bridesmaid '

[MadMen]

Blimey!
I would be devastated if this happened to me. In fact, I'd want nothing to do with it. I certainly wouldn't be a bridesmaid!

[Bazile]

or perhaps not

[craft1948]

Why?

[B00]

Devastated if it happened to you?

That your parent had found happiness and was loved by someone?

[hippyhoppy]

So you wouldn't want your dad to be happy if that was the life he had decided to live... Doesn't faze me at all.. you fall in love with the person not the gender..

[cazzz1975]

maybe her father is being true to himself?

My mum and dad split up years ago, he was then single until he died, I would have been so happy if he had found someone to share his life with, make or female.

I have no issues with people who decide to 'come out', but after living for 30-odd years with a woman, as husband and wife, and having kids? I cannot believe you all think it's ok...:-/

And yes, I would be absolutely devastated if this was my own Dad. And yes I would want nothing more to do with him.

[Old_Geezer]

I suspect the shock would be to find out that your parent got hot for the wrong gender. I'm sure it has nothing to do with wanting them to be unhappy. No doubt one would come to terms with it in time though, although not everyone would be comfortable by the time there was a ceremony.

[MadMen]

Maybe he should have thought about being true to himself before he got married to a woman.... and a bit sooner than 30-odd years later.

"And yes, I would be absolutely devastated if this was my own Dad. And yes I would want nothing more to do with him."

Your loss then..........

[MadMen]

If you'd have seen the pictures, I'm sure some of you would also be a bit shocked. He's gone from looking like her dad, to some perma-tanned Elton John!!

[cazzz1975]

the world was a different place 30 years ago.

[mrs.chappie]

I think I'd find that hard to grasp too. Somebody else's dad....maybe. But not my dad. :o/

[EvianBaby]

He's probably been miserable inside for the past 30 years.
