Definitely need more context on the existing relationship. If it’s very casual and sarcastic/joking back and forth all the time, this seems like a funny dad. If he just berates his son like this and isn’t being lighthearted, it’s verbally abusive. Hard to judge from just a text screenshot.
Me and my mother will totally just call each other gay for doing gay shit. To be fair she is gay and I’m flamboyant as hell but very asexual. I don’t think it would be physically possible for either of us to actually insult the other. The roasting IS the family bond.
My dad on the other hand would get a brick to face for even trying to say anything.
Absolutely. Though who knows. Maybe the son originally felt really uncomfortable coming out and shame around the word but the dad has no problem saying it, partially joking, partially to insist it’s not shameful and he accepts it. And loves him. Definitely isn’t the norm, just, like I said, needs more context to truly make an accurate judgement

Family can be weird yo
TBF it’s a bit uncommon to berate someone for their sexuality and then insist that they and their partner join you for dinner.
Yeah I think it seems more like a dad doing dad-like behaviour to a son he loves
