LGBTQIA+ and Love: Today, I finally thought that my mother was okay with me being...

Today, I finally thought that my mother was okay with me being a lesbian. Then, over dinner, she turns to me and says, "So, do you still think you like girls, or are you going to start being normal again?" 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

Coming out

Today, I told my mom that I’m a lesbian. She was fine with it, supported me 100%, and it was a huge relief, until she followed up with, “Until you find a husband, then you’ll obviously have to stop all that.” The reason I even told her is because my girlfriend just proposed to me, and we’re engaged.

Today, after having a long talk with my mother about LGBT rights, she told me that she was totally open. I felt completely relieved, being gay myself. Seconds later, she said, "But not for you. I want you to find me a nice girl that can give me lots of grandkids." 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

Keeping up

By Anonymous - 09/05/2019 22:00

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 finally worked up the courage to tell my mom that I'm gay. She sympathetically patted my back and told me I don't need to make up excuses for me being so unattractive to women. FML

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

Today, my mum decided that me being bisexual meant that I was "deciding whether or not to be a lesbian" because supposedly, no man will have me. Thanks mum. 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

oh my god I know how you feel. I came out to my mom recently and got me kicked out of the house so I live with my grandparents. she called me the other day and was like "so have you changed your mind yet? " and I said "sorry mom I'm with my girlfriend. I'll call you later". Just hang in there. :) you got this.

Oh my GOD, the same thing happened to me! OF course, on different places and I told my mother I was Bi, but she pretty much said the same thing after, like, a week. I thought it was funny though. I mean, it could've honestly been worse. I had a friend who was kicked out of her house for being a lesbian. .-.

Wow.. your mom is a bitch. My mom doesn't understand my issues either, they are different from yours, but anyways I know mothers aren't the most understanding people in the world all the time. But wow.. your mom should support you. Parents should be happy if their kids are happy- and if being with women makes you happy, go for it. =)

A) to those who think homosexuality is determined anything but biology, some animals are homosexual. Did they choose to be because they thought it was "cool"? No. B) I don't know which of you idiots decided your looks are a depiction of your sexuality, but megan fox is bisexual, and she is attractive by most peoples standards. Just one example.

people, stop being dicks. there's absolutely nothing wrong with being gay or lesbian. that's coming from a straight guy. OP, i'm sorry. this fml made me sad.

what ever happened to live and let live? nothing the OP is doing is hurting anyone else so why do you (anyone) feel entitled to judge or condemn her lifestyle choices.

People like the OP's mom and some of the posters on here are why I really hate people.

Moments like this when I am all the more glad I'm remaining single. Because I will never bring another person into the world that has to suffer through its indignities.
