Today, I decided to introduce my girlfriend to my parents by telling them that we were gonna have a very special guest for dinner. While my mom was preparing the meal she asked, "What does he like?" I'm straight. My parents thought different. FML

Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents. My mother turned to me and said, "Wait you're actually gay? I thought you were just saying that to piss off your father." I came out to her when I was 16, and have confided in her about my past relationships. FML

Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my family for the first time. My mother's immediate reaction was, "We didn't know you were gay!" No mom, she really is a girl. FML

Today, I introduced my new boyfriend to my parents. Everyone knows he's into the emo scene, but this didn't stop my dad from slowly looking him up and down, then saying, completely deadpan, "You never told us you were a lesbian, honey." FML

Today, I finally invited my girlfriend over to meet my oddball parents. The first words out of my dad's mouth were, "So, you're the silly girl who agreed to date my dickhead son." It went downhill from there. FML

Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents. They thought it would be funny to pretend that they're nudists. FML

Today, I finally let my parents meet a boyfriend of mine for the first time ever. My dad mentioned how he was happy to finally meet him, because for the past 4 years he'd thought I was gay. 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 was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. FML

I see your point... I've had male friends over for dinner and I am definitely not gay. And OP, besides, consider yourself lucky! If you ever decided to become gay (haha or even bi) at least you know your parents are accepting!

Well look at it this way: at least you have cool accepting parents that would be okay with it if you *were* gay, which I'm sure is more than a lot of people who actually are gay have. Besides, unless you know for sure how they interpreted "very special guest" I wouldn't worry about it.

I think your worrying about stuff like that is what leads your parents to think you're feminine. Play along, get your revenge when you walk in with an attractive girl on your arm.

I understand how you feel about your parents thinking you were gay. But I think that's a lot better than than what some people have to go through just because they are gay. Like their parents disowning them and things. It's a good thing your parents are accepting.

To me, this all sounds like Bo Burnhams song My Whole Family.

#15 I was gonna post that video! Hahaha so brilliant - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZoO8LyizLA And everyone who thinks he's "acting gay" - there's no such thing as acting gay - there's feminine and masculine which plays into gender roles, not sexual preference. It's just stereotype that gay men are very feminine and lesbians are butch. Can you tell the influence my Psychology of Gender class had? lol And no offense, but I definitely think that sucks. What was your girlfriends response?!

Probably "BUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" If not, she's probably just not that awesome to begin with.

Yeah dude, bringing over a "very special guest" sounds like you're either gay or a TV show host. "I'm bringing my girlfriend over" would have sounded better.
