Flowers, candy, poetry, music.... Telegram? Maybe even a strip o'gram?
As with all things, opening your mouth and saying it simply and plainly usually has the correct impact.
I know a lot of stories from people who came out to their parents. Usually the ones that they least expect to have 'accept' it end up accepting it better than the one they expected to be ok with it.
I'm not saying that that will happen in your case, I'm saying it does happen.
What is the worst can can do? Disown you?
My father did disown me, cut me out of his will and lots of other mean nasty things. Its been 18 years since I last talked to him. His choice.
When my older brother died, from AIDS, I sent my father two round trip tickets to come out to the funeral (for he and his wife) he sent them back with a note that said 'No thanks.' He was generous, ordered a small flower arraignment for the funeral.
If you father does the same that is HIS choice, not yours. And its nothing wrong with you, but a lot wrong with him.
