What is the proper etiquette for notifying people one of their parents is gay but pretending to be straight?

Can I just tweet them or is it necessary to send a letter on nice stationary.

• Why do you find it necessary to "notify" anyone? Sounds like you were in a relationship, got dumped, and want to create problems for the guy.

• Tweeting sensitive information is always a great idea. Try "Hate to tell you @JohnSmith but your dad @BillSmith is gay. #olddudetakesituptheass"

• MYOB.

• Better to use stationery than stationary, which is so immovable through the postal system.

• The proper word is STATIONERY you dumb fuck!

• Don't waste your time, Clive's kids now know.

• Why would you even consider doing this?

• OP is evil!

• Ask Suzanne Sugarbaker how to go about it. She always tells the parents about bisexuals. I'm sure she would know the proper way to tell a child a parent is gay.

• Clearly OP is fucking the gay parent.

• Mind your own business.

• This reminds me of the old joke: "Everybody with a living mother, take one step forward. Not you, Johnson!"

• The proper etiquette is to say nothing at all. People who stick their nose into the business of others are déclassé.

• Pass a note furiously in class until the teacher makes you read the contents aloud. Problem solved.
