Keeping my relationship a secret ...what do I do?

I'm 36 and always had boyfriends but it never felt right.
I met a woman and fell for her but it didn't work out
My friends reactions were not great
Friend 1 -why ? You like men -oh no I couldn't go with a woman -eugh (and after nights out stopped sharing a bed with me )
Friend 2-well it's not really right is it,a man and a woman is right -then went down a road of saying women shouldn't be allowed kids with women (didn't even finish that convo as it upset me )
Anyway -2 1/2 years ago I met a woman and I've basically kept it a secret from these two friends
They've asked and all I've said is we are friends
Other friends are over the moon for me
I'm honestly so happy
We have a great life together and she proposed on holiday.
I still can't tell me two friends
I was out with friend 1 and another girl a month ago and we had some drinks -she then made a off the cuff comment about "oh not going in there-it's a gay bar"
Also to add to the mix my dad is 82 and I also haven't told him as he would disown me,

I don't want to loose my fiancé -I love her so much
I'm just worried about how things will pan out
What would you do ?
What if the friends find out and hate me for keeping secrets ?

I don't have homophobic friends and I'm straight. Ditch the pair of idiots. You don't need that negativity in your life.
