Today, I came out to my mom as a lesbian. She told me that it was impossible, because since she isn't one, she therefore couldn't have given birth to one. She still won't believe me. FML

Today, my mom barged into my room, threw 5 boxes of condoms at me, then said, "So you don't get pregnant". She still hasn't accepted the fact that I'm a lesbian. FML

Today, my mom called me into the living room to say that she had something important to tell me. She then explained how she and my dad had "talked things over" and wanted me to know that they accept me and love me no matter what. Apparently my mom thinks I'm lesbian. I'm not. FML

Today, my mom went to a psychic. The reason? She has convinced herself that I'm gay, even though I've told her that I'm not and never have been. The psychic disagreed. Apparently, I'm bicurious with one of my guy friends. Guess who my mom believes? FML

Today, at 18, I finally told my mom I was gay. She spent the rest of the day bringing up my "future wife" at every possible chance she had. FML

Today, I came out to my mom. I had an epic speech planned, and when I tried to tell her, it all fell apart and I started crying and just said, "I'm gay." After a few seconds silence, my mom sighs and says, "Duh." FML

Today, my mom tried to convince my dad that I was a lesbian. Why? Because she was bored. FML

Today, after being out of the closet for over three years, I learned that some of my friends still don't believe me that I am really a lesbian. They still think I made the whole thing up because I can't get a man. FML

Today, I found out that my mother has been telling everybody that I’m a lesbian, because both of her best friends have at least one gay child each, and she was feeling left out. This explains why people have been treating me differently the last few weeks. FML

Today, I learned that despite having told them two years ago, my parents still aren't accepting of me being gay. I found this out when my mom called and asked if I was "cured" yet. FML

Today, I came out to my parents as lesbian. Surprisingly, they were OK with it… just as long as I still marry a dude, give them grandbabies, and keep the whole lesbian thing a deep, dark, shameful secret that we never talk about again. FML

Well, at least you didn't get your logic from her. Clearly, you are the smarter lass.

I'm sorry, but your mother is an idiot. Or she is in denial. Either one will work.

It's always hard when a close family member comes out as an idiot. To be clear I'm talking about your mom.

Write her a letter. Tell her your being a lesbian has nothing to do with her. Tell her she is the greatest mom there ever was. Tell her how happy you are to be on this earth. Explain to her that who you are as an individual is who you are. That your higher being makes no mistakes. He created you to be the perfect human being you are. It's no one's fault because it is not a fault. It just is. And you want to feel good about who you are. Doesn't she feel the same way about herself? Why would she not want that for her daughter? It's not about the family, the neighbors, society. It's about just little old you. So would she like you to go through life to please others and love them, or would she like you to love yourself first? Love and happiness go hand in hand. She did not choose her sexuality. Neither did you. And then tell her you love her just the way she is.

Introduce her to your girlfriend. If that doesnt work, let her live in denial

Don't let her pull you down. You deserve better than someone who doesn't take you seriously. I wish you the very best for the future, not that you'll actually read this. XOX
