I have gotten closer to my dad, but that hasn't changed his opinions on gay people (which aren't too great). I'm sure deep down my dad knows I'm gay, but won't say anything. I know he will love me no matter what, but I'm scared to tell him. My mum is allowing me to, but she said if it would make it easier, she would tell him for me. What should I do?

In your place, I would ask Mom to be there for support but, I'd want to be the one to tell him. I'd feel better if it came from me personally rather than anyone else.

Sweetie , there is no rush to tell him, if you do not feel comfortable then wait.
Either way make sure your mom is with you for support.

myself as a parent we had a talk with the daughter, what it meant for us if she was gay and why its important for parents to always emotionally support their children. The daughter had a steady bf in her senior high school and early college years and there were house rules so they could sleep over. A gay girl friend would have the same setup.
I cant under stand how your father can live with you 15+years and not know or care your gay. Said it many times here the parent must not be comfortable with his own sexuality and be homophobic. if he is not supportive no big rush to come out.
