My father is not accepting of my sexuality. At first, he blamed my ex-wife (he never liked her) of "turning me gay". Then he blamed my mother for being to overbearing. Then he blamed himself for not being a better father. Now he just blames me.
Dad makes comments about gay men being "fags" and then gets real quiet and says "no offense". At first I took offense, but now I don't. I take more offense that he wants nothing to do with my daughters, his biological grandchildren. I can count on one hand the number of times he has seen them, and one was the night they were born, and then has the audacity to call himself "grandpa".
My mother is very accepting. She knew I was gay before I got married. She told me that was why she tried to talk me out of marriage, but was afraid that maybe she was wrong and if she asked if I was gay and wasn't I would be hurt and upset.
