My father is a Frenchman who moved to the Netherlands 24 years ago to raise a family with my mother. Being a curious person with a love of culture, he was soon talking and acting like a Dutch guy β raising my brother and me in the Dutch language.
Once a week, my dad would call his father and siblings in France. He spoke in French so he could chat freely with them about anything he wanted without us understanding what was going on.
But one night, while he was on the phone to his sister, my little brother had crawled out of bed. He went downstairs and heard my father speaking in that foreign language. However, as the conversation went on, certain words suddenly didn’t sound so foreign. My brother picked up the word for “gay” β a word my dad repeated several times during that conversation.
By that point, my parents had told us they had problems in their marriage, but a few months later, when I was around nine years old, we still went on our annual family summer holiday to France. We always visited the same camping spot, near my father’s family abode. One day, he was playing a game with my brother in
Almost 10 years after coming out to my dad, he told me he was lgbtq+ too
I walked through the front door into my smooth, stormed into the lounge where my housemates were all watching TV and sat on the floor in front of them.
βI just had one of the wildest moments of my entire life and I feel like my brain is about to combust,β I declared.
βAre you OK?β
βIβm good,β I replied. βIβm actually really good. Itβs glad news.β
But my deal with probably did not scream happy. I was a small stunned. Thatβs because β almost 10 years after I came out to my family in 2010 β a new gay had entered the arena and it was the person I probably least expected: my father.
It was 2018 and we had been out for dinner at the reliable roast chicken place I always take my dad to. Weβd driven home in his red Subaru Impreza listening to his Neil Fresh Greatest Hits CD and then he reversed into my driveway.
So even just this evening, all the evidence pointed towards him entity a straight man.
As a child, he bought me fiery wheels, hoping I would inherit his love of cars. He also took me to rugby and cricket games at the giant stadium in Christchurch, encouraged me to take up guitar and took me to c
Father opens up about coming out to his 3 sons: I'm still the same dad as before
"Good Morning America" is featuring stories in celebration of Celebration Month. Scott Takacs, a 46-year-old and father of three, penned a personal essay about his experience coming out as a gay man to his sons. Read about his journey below in his own words.
Coming out at 42
I was 42 years old when I came out to my wife. It was 15 months later that I started that same conversation with my three boys -- 9-year-old twins and an 11-year-old.
The whole experience is somewhat of a blur, mostly in part to the fact that at that point in my being there was a lot of change happening and some significant pent-up emotions. There wasn't much of a plan, no guidebook in hand, only goals that I hoped my boys would start the process of sympathetic and accepting their dad for whom I truly was: a gay man.
It had been a long 15 months since coming out to my wife, an experience I unfortunately wouldn't illustrate as positive, fun or something I ever want to redo. It was wrought with the happiness of finally telling the closest person in my accurate identity, while simultaneously ripping her wo
