Yeah, I was still kind of skeptical, but I just got off the phone with him, and talked to him for three hours. He basically told me that he's completely opposed to all of the hate from conservatives, and talking about how god hates this or that group. He said that he doesn't care about those things, they have nothing to do with morality. He cares about deeds, and not identities, or harmless lifestyles. Love is what matters above all else -- and that this doesn't change anything.
I'm kind of in shock, and don't quite yet know how I feel about it. I can just say that I didn't expect this at all. We talked about our plans when he comes out here.
I didn't really get into details, and still not sure that he completely understands the gravity -- but he told me that he's never trusted the sensationalism of the media...
See my mom had like the opposite response... a really outlandish negative reaction -- I was basically a disgusting pervert...
It brought me to tears thinking about my dad possibly rejecting me, or hating me, or considering me a disappointment, but I don't really feel anything about this reaction for some reason. Like, just normal. Maybe it needs to sink in, or I don't really believe it until I see it, and see his real world reactions to my transitioning, and the people I associate with. He's always been very compassionate though, and my sister said that if dad has taught us anything, it is unconditional love.
