I'm with Pix. Research has revealed that homophobes tend to get a little wood when seeing homoerotic artistic images.

There is no law anywhere that orders you to have to tell who and what you are.
I would suggest you do not say anything directly, just live your life.
When dad finally sees the signs and confronts you, you can then tick off the many instances that he has shown that the subject wasn't one for discussion. Lay it, let him see that his hatred of 'the gay' made the choice to exclude him from this part of your life.
This means live your life, date a guy, show up at family stuff with a guy on your arm. Surprise dad or let others mention it in passing, say them saying 'Ty's new boyfriend is a great fellow....'.
Confrontation is obviously pointless, you already have a good idea how he will act and react, thus there is no reason to make a formal proclamation to him. If he finds out from others, don't sweat it.
At the same time don't pretend to have interest in girls to 'please him'.
