My dad is so homophobic, I am scared to come out as bisexual

DEAR DEIDRE: I’M scared to come out as bisexual in case my dad never wants to talk to me again or, worse still, disowns me.

I am a boy of 15 and have been scared for some time to admit my true sexuality.

I haven’t told a single person – not even my closest mates.

My dad is not the type to understand me or about bisexuality. He is quite homophobic.

I really wonder if it would just be easier to live my life as a straight guy?

DEIDRE SAYS: That would be a very unhappy path in life.

You deserve to be loved for the person you are but I don’t know your dad.

Maybe he is less prejudiced than you fear.

If not, then maybe leave telling him until you are more confident of your sexual identity.
