I don't want to lose him

Hi my name is eryka I'm lesbian I realized I was lesbian around 5th grade I was in the closet until 7th grade when I had my first girlfriend I didn't tell my mom because our family is very religious , I didn't know how she would act about 5 months into me and my girlfriend dating I told my mom while I was helping her cook dinner , my mom was some what ok with except for the part were she read out of the bible to me . I havent told my dad yet , im scared for his reaction . He always talks about meeting my husband and coming over to be my kids grandparents , I don't want to tell him because me and my dad have just began talking again, and I dont want to lose him.
