...it must be tough to hear that. Reminds me a little of my dad telling me in an argument that he has to defend me to others and he does not want a failure in the family (when i got divorced from my husband..and now I live with a woman). He stepped back right away when I started querying that, but it makes you feel that no matter how tolerant he tries to be, stuff just keeps coming back up to the surface. Since I m a lot like my dad i know he feels keenly the judgement of others, he has his own prejudices and is actually quite an anxious soul. I know this because I am not that different.I love him and it is ok even if it hurts.
