What to do! The perfect storm of epic family proportions.
14 years ago
General
So, I'm finally graduating in May with my doctorate, and I realized a few things as I was sending out the emails to family about the ceremony and such.
1. My dad & grandpa on my dads side are going, they don't know I'm gay... and I'm petty sure they will not be happy to find out.
2. My mate and his parents are going.
3. My mom and her husband are going.
4. My dad doesn't know my mom got remarried, and I'm pretty sure he will not be happy to find out.
5. Not really sure if I should break the news to my dad now... or just wait.
This just sounds like a perfect storm (and also like an episode of 90210).
Kinda stressful thinking about it, not quite sure what to do! XD

are your dad/grandfather the dramatic types? will they take it in stride?
i guess you should base your decision on that.

ANYWAY: if you're going to show off Keyla, I'd slip in a "I'm excited to have you meet my boyfriend" so they don't find out there. It's one less thing you'll have to play by ear, and gives them a chance to back out if they're really against it.
If I were in that position I would probably lean towards telling them beforehand. If they find out there, it's kinda a tossup between them making a scene or possibly their reaction being modulated by being around other people. You know them though, I don't, and you might be able to predict which way they might more likely react.
