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!

I don't think your parents assumed you were gay. I think, unless you've had a gf in the house before, they were just assuming it was a guy friend. Don't let it get to you!

Either they thought it was a guy friend, or they did think you're gay. In either case, I don't see why this is an FML.

So what? Your parents are accepting, and you said the words "Very special guest." Very special guest is one of the gayest phrases in the english language. If it had been accompanied by a handflip, they'd have been crazy NOT to assume you were gay.

You weren't clear. I wouldn't understand what "a special guest" meant either. I would have thought your best friend or teacher was coming. You should have been clear by saying a girl is coming. That way they'd understand. You're probably really young, so they don't think relationships are all that serious.

So no one here thinks that there was any conversation and clarification beyond the parent's asking "So what does he like?" I'm sure there was, hence why he says his parents thought he was gay. Sucks to be you, dude.
