Dad Knows...

[Tuco]

I have to disagree. What I see in his father's behavior is a desire not to lose touch with his son, and to be involved in his life. I don't see how you can fault a parent for being supportive and helpful. He's doing what a parent is supposed to do, care about and try to protect his kids.

Pankakes should take what his father says with a grain of salt, he doesn't need his father looking over his shoulder. But at least he knows that if he ever needs his family they'll be there. Those overbearing responses are grating, but they make it clear how much people really care.

Besides, it's not an easy issue with people who aren't used to be around gay people. Hell, before I came out to myself, I probably tried being oversupportive as well. While trying to look natural, I only made myself awkward.

@OP: your dad's awesome!
