Today, I was taking my boyfriend to the mall. In the parking lot I pointed out an old man in a vibrant pink sweater who was leaving by saying "He is so gay." My boyfriend got out of the car and walked towards the man calling "Hey Papaw!" It was his grandfather. FML

Today, while walking home with my boyfriend, he jokingly slapped my butt. A man as old as my dad drove by, yelled "Wooo, spank that ass! DAMN!" and kept leering at me before finally driving off. FML

Today, my dad met my boyfriend. It took less than 10 seconds for him to accuse my boyfriend of being a "queer" because his handshake was "too limp". FML

Today, I was at the mall with my boyfriend and 2 friends. My uncle passed by me in the mall. He said, "What are you, babysitting or something?" He pointed to the merry-go-round. My boyfriend was sitting on a giraffe, yelling at the top of his lungs. FML

Today, I was walking with my husband, holding hands, when a man with a rainbow shirt on came up to us. He said, "I'm so glad that gay men can go out in public without being embarassed nowdays!" He patted me on the back and walked away. I'm a woman. FML

Today, I took my dad out shopping. I managed to pull into a really cramped parking spot and said, "Man, that was a tight squeeze." My dad then looked me in the eyes and said, "So was your mom." FML

Today, my dad and I were at the grocery store buying toilet paper. As we walk out I see these two attractive guys that I know. My dad gets that I think they're cute, so he shouts "Hey babe, how's your stomach feeling now? Will this be enough for you?" They walk away laughing. FML

Today, my boyfriend showed up at my grandmother's wake in torn jeans and a Family Guy t-shirt. When I took him aside asked him what the hell he was thinking, he lost his temper and stormed out. FML

Pops

Today, my older boyfriend and I went shopping together. When we arrived at the till, the cashier looked at me and asked, "Is this your pop?" I replied "No, this is my boyfriend, but we get that a lot." She paused, pointed at the case of Coke in the cart and said again, "Is this your pop?" FML

Slightly homophobic, but OK…

Today, I was pulled into an argument between a woman and her boyfriend. He wanted to buy a jacket and she wanted my opinion, as a gay man, on whether it suited him. I’m not gay, I'm even married to a woman. They were very surprised because apparently I look "super gay." Other shoppers agreed. FML

I'm actually going to have to go against what most of you are saying & say FYL to the OP. If she said something like that about the old man to her boyfriend, then chances are, they both make comments like that about random people they see as jokes to each other. It just sucks that it turned out to be your boyfriend's grandfather. & #50, it depends in what context someone uses the word "gay". I have plenty of gay friends who don't get offended by someone saying the word "gay" unless it's intentionally directed at them as a derogitory term.

YDI this hardcore. Even if the old guy was gay, what's wrong with that? And how is it any of your business? Maybe try not being a jerk; might save you some future embarrassment!

lol @ #4 Just because a man is wearing pink, doesn't mean he is gay. Pink wasn't actually deemed a feminine colour until after World War II. Maybe this explains why he willingly wore a pink shirt? YDI for making a wisecrack that wasn't really that funny.

Way to go...you shouldn't say mean things about people who have done nothing to you, so honestly YDI...and yes it takes confidence for a man to wear pink so I would respect that not call them gay.
