That night, after a few seconds of silence, the son told his father, 'I'm gay.' Dad got up, 'and gave him a huge hug,' he wrote. 'At this point he sort of looked at me slightly confused, I'm not 100% sure why, but I'm assuming it is because I said 'lucky person rather than lucky girl, ' continued dad.Īt that point, he 'dropped the conversation,' but in doing so, he told his son, 'Well, whoever it is, they should be so lucky to have you as a boyfriend.'
