A Gay Airman's Story: Coming Out to Dad, Then Mom

Coming Out to Dad — September 20

 After making his father promise that he would love him unconditionally, the airman said, "Dad, I'm gay."

"Gay?" his father said.

"I always have been, and I've known since forever," he replied.

His father said he would still love his son, no matter what.

The
airman admitted after a moment, "I've been working myself up, sitting
here with the phone in my hand for four hours," he said.
