Today, I finally came out to my dad, who is a priest, as gay. He responded by splashing me with holy water to "banish the demon within" me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came out of the closet, after years of fear and shame, thanks to my mom making me to go to a church full of fundies my whole life. In the end, I was in tears. All I got was a frown and a "So? Want a medal or something?" FML
Today, I came out to my therapist as gay. Claiming that my parents "can't be that homophobic", my therapist outed me to them. They kicked me out of the house. FML
Today, I came out of the closet. Now whenever I'm getting ready to go somewhere with my dad he says, "Lesgo, lesbo." FML
Today, I finally decided to tell my parents I was a lesbian. They spent the next few hours reading me the bible. FML
Today, I came out to my parents as lesbian. Surprisingly, they were OK with it… just as long as I still marry a dude, give them grandbabies, and keep the whole lesbian thing a deep, dark, shameful secret that we never talk about again. FML
Today, after weeks of thinking and playing every outcome possible in my head, I told my parents I'm gay. My dad nodded and didn't even look up from his book; my mom told me to go to the doctor if it starts to itch. FML
Today, I came out as gay to my dad on Whatsapp. The only thing he replied was, "I'll ever talk to you again when you stop being a pussy." He then blocked me from everywhere. FML
Today, I finally told my parents I'm trans. My dad started crying and told me he loved me no matter what. My mother threw a chair at me, and told my dad it was his "wife-like" behaviour that made me this way. She then prayed out loud for an hour for God to send her a real husband and son. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to tell my parents that I'm gay. My mom said "Yeah, we know." When I asked how they knew, my dad, without looking up from the tv, said, "We've been monitoring your Internet history." FML
Today, my father contacted me for the first time in years to ask about my upcoming wedding, and possibly walking me down the aisle. He claimed the only reason he left was because he thought I'd be gay. I am. FML

Just say you have had better fluids splashed on you and holy water can’t compare.

Bet you if you toss the holy water on the priest you can banish the false ideas that being gay is wrong.

Was he joking or serious? I am so sorry, that is so heartbreaking to hear.

On the bright side, at least he didn't kick you out and/or disown you.

Did you hiss at your father? That would be a hilarious joke.

Knowing that he is a priest, what else did you really expect from him? You shouldn't let it affect yourself because I don't think he is going to go out of his way to understand you better.. May your demons remain intact!

Tell him to pray for your anal muscles, cuz once the 'demon' gets in, the 'gateway' gonna stay open for the rest of your life leading to escape of umm...'evil dirty creatures'.

that sounds kinda disgusting, dude. He splashed holy water on him, not tried to crucify the guy.

Why would you do that if his response was completely predictable? If your dad were an astronomer, would you come out as a flat-Earther?

Sounds to me your a spoiled brat who said this to piss him off. You had to know how he felt. And your just another typical gay person seeking attention.

So you think OP should have kept this secret and lived a lie for their entire life?

Coming out is not seeking attention. It is simply letting other people know you are not straight. Plus when people in general talk about who they are dating or interested, you could say that is a form of coming out. In that case, most people including straight people come out.

A spoiled brat? So he just up and decided to say he's gay to stir up trouble? I doubt it... it's not unheard of to a daughter/son to come tell their parent/s they're gay... You much be delusional to thing this was just a ruse...

WOW @ the homophobia. Better to leave this up and let it get downvoted away though.
