    I came out to my father not long ago, this time for real. He reacted very well and much better than I expected. I'm still not very comfortable with my own sexuality, so yeah, guess I still need to come out to myself and accept that now.

    Congratulations, it's good to have your father on your side. He probably understands what it is like to fall in love with a girl, so in some way he can empathize with you. You are right that your self-outing is still the most important journey. Now he can help you. And you are in a culture (as far as I can tell from up here) that is more tolerant than most. That's a pretty low standard, of course. But let's celebrate!
