Daughter yells something 'racy' at family NYE party to embarrass 'prejudiced' dad.

When this woman is annoyed with her father, she asks Reddit:&quot;AITA for shouting something &quot;racy&quot; At our new years party and embarrassing my dad?&quot; I&#39;m a 17F and I&#39;m a lesbian. I&#39;ve known since I was 13. I came out to my mother the same year, and she was supportive.

He&#39;s never said anything outright bigoted but he constantly complains about women and how we&#39;re overdramatic and talk a lot, and he made a pretty asshole comment about a flamboyant friend of mine.  He said something along the lines of &quot;I bet his dads real proud of him&quot; very sarcastically. When I told him my friends dad was dead, he responded &quot;Lucky guy&quot;.  I&#39;ve also seen him argue about politics with one of my aunts (aunt &#39;Malissa&#39; as she&#39;s important later) and he leans more toward conservative. Not exactly conservative but enough for me to not trust him.  For these reasons I was really hesitant to come out to my dad. I came out last year and he has been really dismissive toward my sexuality. He thinks its just a phase and that &quot;no gay couple stays together for life&quot;.
