When I came out, I was so terrified that I had my best friend with me holding my hand while I was coming out to my father over the phone (I live in a different state). He was silent for a second, and told me it didn’t change a thing, that he loved me, and that he was glad that I trusted him enough to tell him. He even apologized to me in case he had ever said something that made me afraid to come out to him.
