Ever since my father found out about me being a brony, he's been ridiculing me, making fun of me, even going far enoughto yell at me and make statements like "I'm embarassed that you would like something like that".
Some of his little "jokes", or as some call them, Hurtful Insults, include some of the following, not counting the fact that he thinks I'm a homosexual.
-"Here, I'll ask mom to buy a rainbow leotard for you to watch it in!"
-"Why don't I get some tights for you too?"
Why he hates ponies so much, I don't know. I tried to convince him FiM is not like previous pony generations which drift more to the girly stereotype, but he won't listen to me, and won't even give the show a chance. I have no idea what to do, how to fix this, and get him to accept that I have my own likes and dislikes, and so does he.
My question to all of you is: How do I fix this? What do I say to him, and what should he be doing in this situation?
