Today, I came out to my therapist as gay. Claiming that my parents "can't be that homophobic", my therapist outed me to them. They kicked me out of the house. FML

Casual homophobia

By GuyWhoCameOutFinally - 25/10/2022 16:00 - Netherlands - Eindhoven

Today, I came out to my parents and siblings as gay. They were very accepting and asked me why I waited until I was 25 to do so. I didn't have the heart to tell them it was their own homophobic remarks that kept me closeted since I realized it at 14, and that a previous coming-out to a parent was dismissed as 'a phase'. FML

Today, my sister came out as lesbian and my parents kicked her out of the house. I was also kicked out for supporting her. 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

Today, I told my friends I had been hiding something that I wanted to come clean on. My one friend responds by saying, "FINALLY you come out of the closet. It's about time." I'm not gay. I was just going to tell them my parents were getting a divorce. FML

Today, I came out to my parents as gay and they reacted better than I expected. Then I found my car destroyed with a note that said "fag" on what used to be my hood. I never thought I'd have to sue my own family, but I'm lucky I have security footage. FML

About that...

Today, my brother came out to our parents. They weren't super happy with it, but they said that it was ok since they still had a straight son. I don't know how to tell them that I'm gay too. FML

Today, I finally opened up to my roommates about when I came out as gay to my parents, and how I was beaten and disowned over it. One roommate saw this as the perfect time to hit on me, since he's also gay and thought I was hot, but wasn't sure if I swung that way. Glad he was so invested in me pouring my guts out. FML

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of 5 years after finally realizing I'm a lesbian. He then outed me to my very religious and conservative family. FML

Today, I came out to my parents. My mom and dad think that I'm lying, just so I could "fit in" with everyone else. FML

Because they broke confidentiality, you need to report them to your local licensing board and file a formal complaint.

Out them as unprofessional to whatever organization accredited them.

You can sue them for that

There is a thing called client confidentiality :'0... You should report then because clearly they aren't doing their job right and maybe they don't deserve a job at all apparently...

They broke confidentiality, so you need to report them to the licensing board. They also, depending on your location, may have broken laws so you need to report that as well. And don't forget to sue them for pain and suffering.

I would recommend you report the therapist for breaching confidentiality, and Sue their ass! SORRY OP about being kicked out for something so stupid. your parents ought to be ashamed, you are their own flesh and blood whether you are gay or not!

look it's pride month own that shit. who cares about them they'll want you back eventually. what you do at that point is up to you but, I've dealt with this same problem and have been unfortunately excommunicated but if they don't care enough to accept you they don't deserve you.

That’s literally illegal and a violation of your HIPPA rights. I would rip her a new one and tell her to shove it up her hairy ass. And if you’re old enough, you can threaten with a lawyer
