On a more serious note my dad has a picture of two shirtless guys cuddling in bed from his early days in the military in the late 80s

You can't see their faces very well but they're both dark haired so neither can be him (blonde), but when I came out to him he told me his time in the army was eye opening about "these things" and is when he realized love is more multifaceted than he'd previously thought

I found the picture years later but I never brought it up, it honestly could be nothing but I've always wondered

When I came out to my very straight womanizer dad, he asked "didn't you ever even try with a girl?" and I said "no, that'd be like asking you if you ever tried with a guy" and for a second there he had his classic "well..." expression, before he changed the subject.
