So I've been bi since I was thirteen and actually came out to my friends last Halloween when I was a wee-bit intoxicated. My mom asked me if I liked guys on a car ride when it was me and her, awkward but I told her yes. We never talk about it, but its nice having her know.

Now on to my stepdad...
He is openly homophobic and very rude, derogatory, and etc. His father is openly gay, and even owns a gay bar up in Northern Illinois, where he used to cross dress a lot. I'm not sure if his father's sexual preferences have made this negative impact on my step-dad but one can only infer that they did.

Its hard having to sit through the demeaning comments and slurs my stepdad says on a regular basis, and I regularly argue with him about how stupid he's being but I havent told him that the reason I find his views so infuriating is that infact I like guys.

Idk what to do, because other than his certain views, he is a great man who cares about my mother and treats us good.

Its just confusing.

Was wondering if anybody had any advice.

Do you think he'd throw you out if you told him? If not, tell him. If he's the sort where that's a real concern, don't. Better yet, talk to your mom about the fact that it bothers you. She'll surely understand why. Ask her if you should tell him, etc.

Also, if you're bi, you always were... you just didn't know until you were thirteen.
