Today, I came out to my father. He seemed to be totally okay with it, as long as I'm the "man" in my relationships. FML

Well, if in a straight relationship the girl can sometimes be the man (as in dominance-more authority), i dont see why not the guy bottoming

Makes sense he wants you to have some manliness even though your not a straight guy like he is. It's typical for a farther whose a straight male to want their son to turn out as a strong male they raised them to be. So as long as you are the "man" in the relationship you would be the strong male he raised you to be and have succeeded in raising you correctly despite your sexual interests. Try being in his shoes, it's not as acceptable to some parents so you will need to give it time for him to come to grips with it all.

Give him time and he will probably come around, it's already a good sign he didn't rage on you. As long as you're happy, and he's a cool dad. He too will probably be happy.

I dont see why this is an fml, i mean, there are alot of others who come out, but dont get accepted.

I'm gonna have to say YDI for whining, OP. I've seen a lot of situations where the person coming out looses their entire relationship with their parent(s). Your dad seems like he's fine with you coming out. That's a win for you in my book. Anyways, it's not like he's ever going to know what you do in bed.

Here's a look on someone who is bisexual. Coming out is very hard to do, and sometimes coming out leads to unfortunate situations. What OP's dad idicated is that he should be the "male" of the relationship, or in slang terms, "the pitcher", instead of understanding the concept of his relationship as a whole. Ergo, disaproves his position due to a belief that his son has to be dominate in the relationship. A pretty stupid belief in today's society. Also, "whining" is the main purpose of this site. Just pointing it out...

Or..the dad made a misguided joke to try and break the tension of the conversation. To me its sounds like the dad is completely accepting but made a joke about something he doesnt understand completely and inadvertently upset his son. When you hear about some of things done to people who come out it really makes ops story small potatoes.
