When I first came out as bi my father seemed supportive, but everytime I make a joke, or even talk about my sexuality he tells me I'm just confused, it's a phase or that I´m too yung to know (I´m 15 years old). How can I convince him is not just a phase or that I'm confused?

You know it's not a phase, and that's what's important. Some people are too trapped in their bigotry mindset that they can't seem to see it any other way. You may never be able to convince him, but you can try. Try just explaining it to him, sit him down and say something like, "Dad, I like guys and girls. I don't only like guys, just like I don't only like girls. I'm not confused, this is how I feel. And I know my thoughts and feelings better than you or anyone else. And please stop saying I'm confused or too young to understand, because that's just not true." Or anything along the lines of that. But above all remember that regardless of what he or anyone else says, you are valid. <3
