I wouldn't be surprised if Kelsey's feelings to her father are "it's complicated", and can't be neatly slotted into love or hate.
- Kelsey's father, Robert, is very likely conservative - even though he's gay, he's an older male and is pretty high up in his company (works in Finance, and is actually a company Director and reports directly to the President of the company he works at). Even if he's somewhat liberal-leaning, being Canadian and gay, he's definitely a lot further right than "let's try out Communism again" Kelsey.
- There was the divorce from the mother, and no doubt there's lots of emotional baggage there, especially if the mother got primary custody. And especially if he left to be "his authentic self", or whatever euphemism you want to use here.
- It seems like Kelsey's father at least partially supported his daughter's idol career, possibly including financially. He certainly has encouraged her in the past and seems supportive these days.
- We've seen that Kelsey has some difficult feelings towards her other family members, so we don't know how Kelsey feels that they're treated compared to her.
So that's a lot of words to say "it's complicated." A lot of family relationships are, I suppose.
