Love: Today, I was leaving to go over to a friend's and my parents...

By Syferix - 18/03/2009 22:42 - United States

Today, I was leaving to go over to a friend's and my parents suddenly ask if I'm gay. I reply that no, I'm bisexual. My mom then asks if I've ever made out with someone of the same sex and I say yes. She turns to my dad and says 'I told you so. You owe me $20'. My parents bet on my sexuality. FML

Today, after weeks of thinking and playing every outcome possible in my head, I told my parents I'm gay. My dad nodded and didn't even look up from his book; my mom told me to go to the doctor if it starts to itch. FML

Today, I finally got the courage to tell my parents that I'm gay. My mom said "Yeah, we know." When I asked how they knew, my dad, without looking up from the tv, said, "We've been monitoring your Internet history." 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

Parents react to announcement [GONE WRONG]

Today, I came out as bisexual while we were in the car. My mom started crying behind the steering wheel, driving at 85 mph. She later told my dad, even though I asked her not to. My dad said, "Give it a month, he'll grow out of it." I realized I was bi 4 years ago. 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 therapist as gay. Claiming that my parents "can't be that homophobic", my therapist outed me to them. They kicked me out of the house. 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

Today, I told my friends I had been hiding something that I wanted to come clean on. My one friend responds by saying, "FINALLY you come out of the closet. It's about time." I'm not gay. I was just going to tell them my parents were getting a divorce. FML

Casual homophobia

By GuyWhoCameOutFinally - 25/10/2022 16:00 - Netherlands - Eindhoven

Today, I came out to my parents and siblings as gay. They were very accepting and asked me why I waited until I was 25 to do so. I didn't have the heart to tell them it was their own homophobic remarks that kept me closeted since I realized it at 14, and that a previous coming-out to a parent was dismissed as 'a phase'. FML

#5 why is that terrible? His/her/whatever parents have a healthy view of sexuality (i.e., that it's completely trivial). I'm with 4 and 6. Would you rather their parents shun them for being gay/bi? Honestly, this is something my parents would do, and I would laugh along with them, because it's hilarious.

Yeah, this is totally not a FML situation. You should be very, very grateful.

#79: well I am sorry then, but I just cannot respect that. I do my best to tolerate and I do not make a fuss about it, but no one is going to make me accept and respect gay relationships. It's okay, people can do whatever they want; so basically I am not entitled to have my opinion too?

Be happy, your parents havea good sense of humor and are obviously accepting of your lifestyle. I can name more people that I'd like that either CANT come out to their family or have and are miserable because of the way their family now treats them (if they are ven speaking)

the worst part is they only bet $20, it would be really bad if they bet like a dime

I am male and Bi. If I said yes to that second question, it would've been about 10 seconds until my mother had a preacher holding me down telling me to "Repent as I have sinned against 'God.'" Not to mention the day I turn 18 in a couple of months I would be kicked out of my house. You are very lucky to have such accepting parents. I would love to be able to 'come out' to my family (Almost everyone else is well aware of this fact, and I have had 3 boyfriends that neither of my parents knew about, actually my dad found out about the most recent one, but he doesn't care), however, whenever anything about sexualities comes about on TV, be it Ads, specials, etc. My mother defaults to saying something along these lines, "Those filthy faggots deserve to burn in hell." You do not have an FML situation. If anything, it's those of us that have alternate sexual orientation and are repressed in expressing ourselves that have real FML. There is no way you can feel the emotional torture of knowing that if the person that cared for you since the day you were born, would drop everything and kick you to the streets all because you can see beauty in both Men and Women.
