I have had lots of gay men as friends. They are drawn to me. I just love their energy too. I find other people like them too. We have one at work, we call him lala. Yesterday I went to ask a man to change the water bottle, lala was having his lunch right there and he said to me, "just because I'm gay does not mean I can't change the water bottle." We all laughed. I said to him "yeah thats exactly what I was thinking" (I wasn't) and I told him to prove me wrong, and so he changed the water bottle, and we all cheered when he finished. He of course was amusing all of us, he is quite funny.
The people who don't accept gays...they usually are the same people who don't accept Blacks, Asians, Jews etc. Your father is different, he is family and so that was a personal impact between you both, which I cannot know from direct experience what its like, but I can imagine it was painful experience for you both for different reasons. He of course should love you as you are. Glad you had growth experience from it, that would not be easy I can imagine, so bravo for that.
How do I feel when people feel they need to fix me?...well, depends on situation. Sometimes its good to take someone's advice, because if we do, we may be happier in the long run. To act as if we have all the answers ourselves and need no outside advice ever, I don't see that as reality. I suggest you don't get hung up on the word 'fix' to the point you make it something other then it was presented here. Here is how it was presented:

In this world is much that is filtered through the eyes of the FI when in reality it could be different. We who are warriors of the spirit love and in that love we find what is not love. There is much to fix and repair in every city, every country, in every person.
Read what he is saying Barefoot. He is talking about the FI. Is that not something good to be rid of?
