When should i tell my father i'm bisexual?

My Father is homophobic and he hates gay people, i don't know how he feels about bisexual people though. I want to tell him but at the same time, I'm afraid he will be upset with who I am. I found out I was bi in 5th grade and I'm scared he will find out sooner of I don't tell him. Please help!

    Honestly, there's no need to tell him. Your sexual orientation is your own business - not his.

    If you seriously really want to, do not do it while still living in his house. Do it once you have your own place and are independent. You're going to make your life miserable in the chance that your dad disproves of it and tries to force you to change.

    If you tell him now he might kick you out of the house so maybe wait until your on your own and dont feel like you need to tell him because you dont so only do it if you want too.

    Tell him when you are ready to tell him. Only you will know when that is.

    Okay, I have told my dad back on like May 1st or something but it went well. He still loves me and he's okay with my sexuality, surprisingly haha.

    this message is coming from bisexual person (a girl age 25. who found out at 16. And came out and 21 and my family are fine with it.)

    You are who you are you cannot change how you are born and who you love. Be who you are and embrace it. But also having said that your sexuality dos not defind you there is more to you then your sexuality its not your label like your be all end and end all about you.

    so tell your dad be up front and say to him I am bisexual I am born this way I cannot change and help who I fall in love with if you don't expect and love me for who I am its ok because I only need those in my life who care about me. If your dad does not take it well move out to relatives place stay there or with close friends who will be a support to you. because parents should love there kid no matter there sexuality. And tell him when you find love you going to be in a committed in a relationship you wont' jump from a boy to girl or girl to a boy every few days. Because lot of people not all but lot seem to have this image in there heads that us bisexual people sleep around and go back forth girls and guys. and yes some bisexual people may do so but not like all of us do that. So let him know that wan't be the case. maybe have trustworthy adult with you to help brake the news and to be support for you.
    do this sooner then later.

    best of luck keep us posted :) XO
