I will repeat: talk. In any case. In any way. At any time you can and feel ever so brave to do so.

He is such a beacon for young LGBTQ. They need to know it’s ok to talk with their loved ones!

My Dad came out at 50. It was only 1997 and while I didn’t care and loved him anyway, I worried about how others would feel. Finding out Ian McKellan was gay too actually made it easier. He’s still with us and has been lucky enough to have over 30 years with the love of his life. ❤️

I’m certain his father knew. If it was a concern, he would have most likely questioned Ian about it. But he didn’t, like his sister, because he loved him regardless.

The military threw me out when I was 22 forcing me to tell my mom, her acceptance changed my whole life, after that 3 am call from Germany I never lied about it again, so grateful I didn't have to waste time not being my authentic self.

But he still talked! And his story and words are so encouraging and helpful to so many people. It’s never too late to be yourself

Times were very different then and it was almost impossible to have open conversations with one’s parents I found.

I truly understand what he was saying. Sometimes not everything we need to say or express. For me i just carry on and keep moving. We all had diversity of life but that was it, it is, no matter who or what life you choose 😞

the reality is we waste far too much time worried about the opinions of others for animals that only live to be 80-100. ❤️

Sorry but I'm not understanding what is sad. It's not as though we talk to our dads about how straight we are. Having a parent that loves, recognizes you've done well, and will look out for you is the important part.
