Arrgh, one of my pet hates is telling teenagers who are dealing with homophobic rejection by their parents that 'all teenagers have conflict with their parents'. For one thing that's not true; it's perfectly possible for teenagers to have a mutually respectful relationship with their parents if both sides put the effort in. But more importantly, homophobia is not in fact a 'clash' in response to the emotional difficulties of the normal separation process. It is possible this LW is straight and simply offended by his Dad's racism and homophobia rather than directly affected by it, but I wouldn't bet on it. Anyway. This answer is wrong and Delia should feel bad.
