I was visiting Key West Holloween 1993. I was at a bar on the rooftop and got into some coversation with a Dad & Mom from Atlanta. I told them I was from LA and hadn't come out about my 7 year relationship at that time.
They were there supporting their son and having fun too. They told me I was not letting my parents into my life and it wasn't fair to anyone involved. A year later I told my folks I was gay and in '09 I'm still with my partner and my folks and I couldn't be closer. It was quite a relief.
I'm kind of hoping to find that "kid" of the Atlanta parents who were on the gay bar roof supporting their "kid" who helped to push me out of the closet and become closer with everyone in my life. I would guess that he is early 40's now. I thank your Dad everytime I think of that event. It's what did it.
He should apologize a 4th time for the crap he sang on the new Jay Leno show. I'd have to say it was a toss up which was more embarassing or iritating!
