Father opens up about coming out to his three sons: I'm still the same dad as before.
"Good Morning America" is featuring stories in celebration of Pride Month. Scott Takacs, a 46-year-old and father of three, penned a personal essay about his experience coming out as a gay man to his sons. Read about his journey below in his own words.
When the moment to break the news to my kids finally came, I had a lot of issues to navigate. Over 15 months, I had finalized the divorce, moved again and taken a new job based in Chicago, 250 miles away from my boys. The distance was to create some space between my now ex-wife, who struggled being in proximity to me.
Even prior to coming out, it was hard for me to hear my kids come home with stories of teachers degrading gay marriage or gay people, to see it in their workbooks, reinforcing the bias against being gay. I did my best to encourage my kids to understand that God made everyone just the way they were supposed to be, and that God loves everyone.
The twins' reaction was more muted. They were too young to understand the concept and didn't seem to care as much. It was more of --"OK, dad, let's talk about something else." My weekend visits with the kids could be described, still, as driving 100 miles around the suburbs running errands with the boys, having fun and trying to make memorable experiences with them.
