I need help. How would you recommend dealing with a homophobic Christian father that already knows your LGBTQ+?

Married straight white guy here. I can't relate to this scenario, but I do understand difficult parents who don't approve of your life choices even though it's not harming anyone. My advice is be professional and speak with certainty trying to respect your father but you must tell them how this hurts you beyond "this hurts my feelings." If your father is anything like my parents he is stubborn and conservative. So you must stand strong and make your line in the sand. You must be direct and no pussyfooting your words. But remember to be respectful. Be diplomatic in your approach but make your message strong and clear.
Currently I'm hardly talking to my parents because they want my wife and me to just forget this argument that occurred before Christmas. It hurts to know I can't view my parents the same as I did my whole life, but I feel better with myself. My brother had the same issue as me, but he completely cut all contact with them for over a year. Only opening back up because my mom flew to his house crying and begging to be a family again.
