Today, I finally told my mom I am a lesbian. She started laughing and said 'Good one honey'. I told her I wasn't joking, and she took my face in her hands and said 'You ARE joking!' Then she left. FML

Today, as an April fools day joke, I decided to tell my mom and dad that I was gay. After an awkward silence, my mom looks at me, smiles, and says, "well, we have known for a while." She wasn't joking. 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 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, 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

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, 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, 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 mother and I got into a huge fight about me being a lesbian. It ended with me saying "Fuck you!" to which she responded: "I bet you'd probably like to." 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, 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

11, YES. After that comment, none others matter. OP, just use this as an excuse to take everything she tells you to do as a joke. Everything. Ask her forr cash, if she says no, take it and compliment her on her skills as a comedian.

I think you mistyped it so I fixed it. She took my face in her hands and said "These aren't the droids you're looking for"

That is why many people are afraid of coming out of the closet. Friends, family etc. just can't accept it. Cruel world.

who said it was a child. what if it was a grown daughter or son that also loved her father erotically. and this was an example of how unnatural it was so i don't get why you're talking like you're so frustrated... chill out. I'm pointing out the irregularity in homosexuality in opposition to the argument that it is natural. plus how hard is it to believe in a sacrifice in "killing himself" to save us. He's saving us from our own problem. Like if a son is in a burning building but doesn't leave. The father isn't going to just stand there and not go in there. He's going to risk his life to save his son because he loves him even if the son doesn't leave. He made virgin birth and walking on water possible because of his power. and i never called anyone a whack job.

Genetic mutations are natural. They happen all the time. If they didn't, we wouldn't be taller now than we were five hundred years ago. It's just a chance of combination... or it isn't. Oooweeoooo. Coincidences are sometimes TOO coincidental.... Plus, many animals have homosexual tendencies, and have had them for a long time. I believe someone made a wonderful point on some FML (this one? I don't know) that homosexuality can be a useful tool for scoring more mates, in some animal systems (working your way up through the males, getting buddy-buddy with the "alpha" and thus getting choice pick of the females). Many humans used to do it for similar reasons; to create a bond with their fellow man. There is also a culture... somewhere in Asia or Africa, I forget... where it is required of the males going through puberty to do anal and oral sex on older males. They believe the semen will help them become great men themselves, since in many cultures semen is THE symbol of masculinity (many cultures had their boys swallow semen). They aren't TOO far off; the testosterone in semen CAN be helpful... but I don't think quite in the way they're thinking, ahahaha. Also, dunno if someone already said that, but arguing about whether something is or isn't natural is actually kind of stupid, especially over the Internet. Just so you know, we, uh, made that, and it's run by machines, not plants.

There's a huge difference between two consenting, unrelated adults having a healthy relationship and a relationship between two close family members. The power dynamic in a family would lead to some really ******-up relationships, even if the son/daughter in question were an adult.

#150 I honestly don't think this person is just a child being curious. And even if so, a parent shouldn't say no to their child wanting to try things out. That is what growing up is all about. A parent should be supportive no matter what, whether it be a childs sexuality, or as you so kindly compared it to, vegitarianism... Which I honestly don't think is a good comparison, since that is a life style choice and not how a person really is.

SaintJimmy, I hate faggots, but I don't blame it on god, I don't hate them because they're different I hate them because to me it's a big evolutionary step backwards to be homosexual. Have fun flaming me everyone, atleast I have a reason for my opinion, and not one based purely on ethics and morality.

Could you tell me why they're a big evolutionary step backwards? Is it because they don't produce offspring? Overpopulation is a serious problem problem you know!

hmm, interesting except that i have the exact opposite view point on the evolution front. The earth is vastly overpopulated with humans as it is and it would only benefit our race/species to cut down on the reproduction. There would be more food, water, resources, and housing. Personally i've always believed that homosexuality is (among other wonderful things) apart of mother nature's way of helping us out.
