text: I was scared to come out to my family as bisexual. I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. I was most nervous about telling my dad. He's middle eastern, and I assumed he'd trip.  When I told him that I had been dating a woman, he got real quiet, and I was nervous thinking, "oh god, here we go..."  Then he said, "When you go on a date with a woman, who pays?"  He was genuinely curious, and I was happy to answer his questions. He had five daughters and no sons, so I think he's honestly happy that he has someone who he can talk about women with. I was shocked at how well everything turned out.
