Today, I logged onto Facebook to see one of my "friends" had used my account to post a coming-out story. It had comments on it such as "I knew it!" "Finally." and "That explains so much." FML

That's when you put your "friends" numbers on Craigslist under "men seeking men".

Hey, at least your friends are accepting. Now you can REALLY come out.

It's actually a funny move, except for the part where you are so gay people actually believe it. No reason to unfriend this person or call it a ''friend'', these kind of pranks are funny and happen all the time.

Neither funny nor cool, dude. My boyfriend had a tough time with his Facebook profile pictures. For some inane reason, people thought he simply "looked" gay in all of his pictures, despite them looking completely normal and, in no way, flamboyant. They had no evidence whatsoever to think he was gay (considering his profile mentions that he's dating a female, and hardly uses Facebook, anyway); in fact, he's been hit on by a few guys who assumed he was gay, just because of how he looks. He was being harassed so much about his pictures (and harassed by so many guys), he ended up taking all of them down just so people would stop mocking his looks. If anything, he may have slightly feminine traits, but, other than that, people have been focusing too much on what he looks like and judging him based on these physical observations. It hurts us both, and it gets really old, really fast.

omg ur so dum change ur password lol Edit: Someone "used" my FML account to post that. I would never say such a thing. That being say, you are an idiot. Change your password.

If you're not actually gay, this could be a great strategy for you. Lots of girls let down their guard with "harmless" gay guys, yet they'd love to "convert" you back to our team. You could probably undergo several "conversions" before the word gets out.

Have you been listening to Bloodhound Gang, perdix?

Spin it. Post what really happened and say how you hope "name person" has not upset anyone with his insensitive comments, and how people should be free to find happiness where ever they want etc.

I would like to offer you a job at my PR firm. Genius move. You're probably pretty good at chess too,huh?

I hate jokes like these. The most common ones I see are "coming out" and "I'm pregnant". I just don't understand why either of those are meant to be funny. What's so funny about being gay? It just sort of devalues the actual amount of courage it takes for somebody to come out in public. And it's always so sad when people take it seriously and share their own stories, only to be told it was just a joke. I saw one where the Facebook status was "I'm pregnant" and loads of people were sharing really sad stories about how they'd miscarried, or how they'd regretted abortions, only to be told that the whole thing is a joke. I think it's sick, and wouldn't find that funny at all.

What I don't find funny is how people would seriously share miscarriage stories on a pregnancy post they thought was serious. they should have been congratulating her, not trying to scare her or make her feel bad. I don't condone the actions of either party in that one.

It wasn't like their first reaction! Lots of them started off congratulating her and since the original (fake) post stated that she was keeping the baby, some shared their stories about how they'd also had kids young and had never regretted it, and it was in response to the conversation that started from there that somebody said about how she'd recently got pregnant after an initial miscarriage and how wonderful it was after such a sad time. It was a positive message in the way it was told, but it's still very personal information to be sharing in good faith, so I can imagine it would be hurtful to hear that the post was made up.

His friends could have had access to his phone or his computer, and he kept "remember password" on.

Perhaps you should look over your recent behavior, might give you some insight to why everyone already thinks this way about you
