The Onion is perfect: “Look, I’m not naïve. I know how you feel about homosexuality, because you’ve been very clear on that subject in the past. That’s why it took me so long to tell you. Dad, you’ve said some very hateful things, not considering for a second that I might be gay, and it hurt. Not nearly as much as it will hurt when I throw you across the room if you ever say any of those shitty things again, but it still stung.â€
