I guess I had it easy in that area. My dad was set on protecting his kids from religion as he saw too many negatives to it. Where he grew up, the cops, clergy, and KKK were one and the same people, so he had no respect for any of them and still doesn't. Religious taboos never had any effect on me, aside from navigating the limits they've put in other people's minds.
My dad's view of my sexuality is that he's happy as long as I stay healthy. "Coming out" was never much of an issue. Whenever I find something that interests me, I research it online, read books about it, find a way of doing it that's unlikely to permanently maim me, then go out and try it. Then I talk to others about it. Sometimes I'll talk to people before hand if I think they have useful advice that I can't easily find on my own, but largely I try to be more action than talk oriented. If I try something and find it isn't for me, then I never even have to mention it.
