Hugs to you.

I hope you have all the love and support from all your loved ones, including your dad.

My dad used to be a religious fundie - he wasn't super hard core but he certainly bought what his religion taught him about being gay. I used to worry about how he would react when he found out my son was gay. My son came out to me in junior high school. He never told my parents. Eventually , my dad said he knew. After all, my son never had a girlfriend. I think he still has times that he struggles with what he has believed all his life vs his love of his grandson. However, his love for my son always wins. I hope your dad will realize his love for you is greater than anything else. Its hard to deprogram what you have believed all your life. But it can be done. Love wins.
