Dad Calls Everything Gay

I'm gay. My dad is not pleased with this fact. Completely homophobic. Half the time his homophobia doesn't even make sense. >Fishing show on TV in the living room >Watching it with mom and dad >Mom: "I don't have the patience for that kind of stuff" >Me:"It doesn't feel like too long when you're out there" >Dad:"Time flies when you're a faggot." >Go to my room It's getting ridiculous. He goes out of his way to respond to everything I do by calling me a fag. What do I do?

A gay person describes watching a fishing show with his parents while his homophobic father turns an ordinary comment into an insult. The joke is the father's nonsensical fixation on calling his son a slur, making his homophobia absurd and impossible to reason with. It is shared as a reaction to irrational prejudice, especially when someone forces the same insult into every situation.
