Today, I learned that if you're going to tell your mother you are gay, make sure she isn't holding a frying pan filled with hot grease. 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, my boyfriend told me that he is homophobic. This wouldn't be such a big deal, if my mother wasn't a lesbian. He doesn't know this yet, and I'm afraid to tell him. 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 found out the hard way that if you think a waiter is hot, you probably shouldn't tell your parents. They could react by screaming at him across the room to tell him you think he's a hottie. 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, 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

Smoking hot dude

Today, I told my parents that I'm a smoker. My mother started crying, and said she worried I was gay, but this is almost as bad. That lead on to part two of my confession. 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

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 came out to my parents. My mother laughed and, when I asked her what was so funny, she told me, "Well, most gays are attractive, muscular, funny and can dress very well. You're ugly, fat, boring, and have no sense of fashion. Good luck." FML

Oh god man I'm so sorry, that sucks big time! Are you alright? (and if this is a case of her dropping grease on herself in surprise, is she okay?) If she doused you in hot grease you should press charges, mothers shouldn't ever hurt their children regardless of the reason. I really hope that this is just a case of her being shocked and dropping the pan. (oh and if anyone tells you you deserved it, ignore the douche bag)

I wish Obama would make opposition to gays a felony. sorry but your mother should be in jail for life, no possibility of parole. I'm tired of republican hate mongers, lock them up and throw away the key. fyl indeed. I will pray our society becomes more tolerant

Wow, that's really tolerant of you! And who says the mother threw the hot grease at him? She may have dropped the pan and splattered them both, set the grease on fire, accidentally spilled it on herself... Seriously, throwing hot grease at someone is not the only result of springing surprising news on someone holding a hot pan. You keep being that tolerant, loving Democratic self you are.

wow you seem to be one of those douch-ey political types that has to get politics included in everything then i will too; if Obama did something like that it would be a infringment of the first amendment to the constitution; the right of free speech even if it is "wrong" its still an opinion that people can have YOU should be more lenient to the people that are like that. think of something you hate, like, Really hate. now imagine not being able to say anything about it. see?? so SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!!

Today, I was talking to my mother about my sex life, telling her, "If I want to have sex, I'm going to have sex." She looked at me for a moment and said, "You're staying a virgin until you get married." She wasn't ordering me, she was informing me. FML

Today, I was babysitting this 12 year old. We were watching a movie, and he was being an angel just laying with his head in my lap. He fell asleep so I closed my eyes and had a little nap. When I woke up he had taken my shirt off and was feeling up my boobs. FML

Today, it was my first day back to school after break. I wasn't feeling well, but I decided to go anyway. I threw up in the hallway and shit myself at the same time. I waited in the office for my dad to come and get me for almost an hour while wearing dirty underwear. FML

Today, I retook my ACT. I have been fighting a cold all week and have been very sneezy lately. Midway through the test, I got the urge to sneeze. Since it was very quiet and I didn't want to disturb the peace, I tried to hold my sneeze in. I ended up letting out a huge fart instead. FML

Today, I leaned back and bumped into one of my mom's plants in the window. The good thing was that I caught it before it fell and shattered. The bad thing was that my mom likes to keep cactii in the window. I can still feel thorns I haven't managed to pluck out yet. FML
