sharing how they came out to their dads. The stories range from hilarious to heartwarming. Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.One particularly poignant tale involves a gay son and a letter.
The poster says his dad was an NFL beat writer and on the road for eight months per year, so he wrote him a letter. Though he describes his dad as a “pretty open-minded guy,” he still harbored concerns about his reaction.
As an NFL reporter, his father spent his adult life around football locker rooms, which traditionally aren’t the most progressive spaces.His dad’s time off came during the summer, which they meant the Seattle natives attended many Mariners games together.
When conversation stalled, dad and son could always return to baseball. That was necessary at first. The poster describes their vibe as “not awful,” but “not great.”For that reason, summer sojourns to Safeco Field could turn awkward.
