Loud and proud!

By Alabamagirl2 - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my sister told me the reason why she went with me to a gay pride parade a few months ago was because she thought it would inspire me to come out. FML

Anyway, yes I did go to a gay pride parade because I think they should have their right to love as much as straight people should. (I also have a gay uncle, I love him all the same) So the reason I posted this was because I hated the fact that my sister just assumed I was gay for not having a boyfriend yet because i'm 16 going on 17 already, like I need to rush myself or something or because I want to live a little first before diving into that whole fiasco instead of just giving it away early. Me wanting gay people to have rights too is apparently another assumption made by her that I'm "gay", because why would I be so passionate about it? It couldn't be because i care about other human beings, no. I also found out she'd been discussing my sexuality with my mother, my father and my brother, and all her friends; despite it being none of her ******* business. The saddest part I find in all this is that they all think a girl can't be independent or NOT focus all her attention on a guy instead of trying to make something of herself first, because if she isn't following some boy then she MUST be gay. Ugh, I'm just done you guys. I'm really done. But I can tell you with all honesty that I cannot find anything sexually attractive about a woman, while we're on the subject, lol. But hey, if that's the way your cookies crumble then that's ok too. Anyway, thanks for the nice comments, peace. xoxo

Honestly though, there are worse things.... Be grateful your sister was welcoming towards it. though it is slightly unfortunate that she does think that. Either way, don't over think it to much. It shows she loves you.

Just be glad you'd have the support. Many many people have it so much worse when they come out if at all. Your sister is actually a great sibling to have.

Uh. In support of gay rights/pride. Why shouldn't they? Are you saying that only gay people should see the Pride parade?

It is possible that #25 is asking why OP would go if neither of them were gay. I have a best friend that is lesbian. She's openly lesbian. She wouldn't go to those on most occasions because the majority of the time its just a bunch of people not doing anything but walking down the streets saying something like, "I'm proud to be gay." That is nice and all, but what you do in your bedroom is your business and I don't care, nor does the majority of society.

38- I understand why you wouldn't care about other people's sexuality, and why your friend wouldn't go to the pride parades but surely you can understand why they're held? For people who get hated and discriminated against regularly because of their sexuality, it's nice to have a day when you can just go all out and show that you're proud of who you are. Also I guess in a lot of places it's also done to raise profile for things like gay marriage. So even if you don't care about other people's sexuality, there's still a good reason for pride parades.

Although I dont understand why there arent heteresexual pride parades as well. Im proud to be straight. Not that I've got anything against homosexuals.

This is really only an FML if you aren't gay and haven't given her any kind of reason to believe you are. If you are and she's trying to help it might seem a bit pushy but at least she's trying to accept you for who you are. Talk with her, OP, and you can help her understand what you need.
