I'm gay.

My dad is not pleased with this fact. Completely homophobic.

Half the time his homophobia doesn't even make sense.

It's getting ridiculous. He goes out of his way to respond to everything I do by calling me a removed.

Escalating to violence is never acceptable. I really don't get what you're trying to say.

Violence is definitely acceptable in some situations, just not this one. Gay and traumatized is better than gay, traumatized, homeless, and possibly injured. Morality doesn’t dictate consequences.
