Hi there @Masquerade_HS 👋
Thank you for choosing to share this with us. I think you'll find yourself at home here, as many of us have shared similar experiences and are part of the LGBTIQA+ community.
It sounds like you have a lot of respect for your dad and his beliefs, but I can see why you'd be feeling hurt by his reaction to you coming out. As you said, being yourself shouldn't be so complicated 💔
I thought it might be nice for you to read through some of our threads on bisexuality. We've had lots of chat about bi-phobia and the whole "chose a side" mentality.
Here is one we had a while back, a member of the bi community joined us to answer some questions the community had. Here is another one about coming out.
It can be disheartening, but I hope that doesn't take away from the fact that you've just taken a brave step towards living life as your true, authentic self - that is something to be proud of.
In saying that, having your parents acceptance is something that most people value and I'm really feeling for you after reading your post. How are you feeling about your dad suggesting you move out of home by the end of the year?
