I (23M) am gay. I’ve been out since I was 18, but I don’t broadcast it. The first person I came out to was my dad (40M), and he has always been supportive. Recently, he had to drop off some work, but he was too hungover after celebrating his 40th birthday, so he asked if I’d do it. I ended up talking to some people he works with when some of the younger girls started hitting on me. It was awkward, so I didn’t say anything and left pretty soon after. The next day, my dad was asked if I was single. He told them I had a boyfriend. The women freaked out and said I was a jerk. My dad said that I was here just to drop off his work and that I had no obligation to disclose I was gay. I’m thankful my dad’s on my side, but I feel bad for not saying anything.
