Today, I found out that my daughter is dating my boss's daughter. I found this out because my extremely homophobic boss told me and wants me to 'heal' them or get fired. I didn't even know my daughter was gay. 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 came out of the closet. Now whenever I'm getting ready to go somewhere with my dad he says, "Lesgo, lesbo." 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, a stranger told me how proud he was that my boyfriend and I were so open with our sexuality. For the past three years, most strangers have thought we are a pair of gay men. I am a woman. FML

Today, I found out that my parents have thought I'm lesbian for at least a year. I now understand why my dad has been trying to get me to "hang out" with his co-worker's daughter. FML

Today, I finally let my parents meet a boyfriend of mine for the first time ever. My dad mentioned how he was happy to finally meet him, because for the past 4 years he'd thought I was gay. 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, I found out that my girlfriend is actually a man. Not a transgender person, I'm okay with that, but an actual gay man who gets a kick out of pranking other guys. FML

I find it interesting that you are comparing gay people to Hitler and you think they are bad, meaning you must think Hitler was bad. Well I hate to inform you but thinking people are evil and should die because of one thing about them like religion or sexual orientation makes you just the same as Hitler. It makes you a very narrow minded individual who lacks the intelligence to be able to see people for who they really are and not for something they feel or believe in.

Why does this matter? It's just a simple misunderstanding- "Oh, haha, he's not my boyfriend." I don't understand why people find this funny. They wouldn't find it funny if it were two straight people of different genders. The only thing making this "funny" is that people (elementary schoolers, to be exact) think you're gay. And I really don't see how that's funny.

It's funny because it's not just a simple misunderstanding. All the kids in her class will now go tell their parents, and everyone will think he's gay as well as his daughter's teachers. Sure, that doesn't sound like a bad thing, but just because you aren't homophobic doesn't mean the rest of society isn't as well. I don't know what part of Florida OP is from, but they'll probably stigmatize him and his daughter - hopefully she doesn't get made fun of. He can't just go back and correct it and say "Oh haha, he's not my boyfriend." At least not easily. It's unfortunate but true in most America.

Exactly. Depending on what the people in his community are like, it could range from a small misunderstanding to ostracism and harassment.

So basically it boils down to, "A bunch of homophobic assholes will think less of me." Well, that's their problem, not yours, and you shouldn't care what a bunch of homophobic assholes think.

You still haven't explained how someone possibly being ostracized by a homophobic community equals funny. That's pretty sad, actually. Nothing about this FML is funny.

Oh, well then boo hoo for the person who isn't actually gay and can easily brush off the harrassment by saying "meet my wife/girlfriend." Maybe if more straight people felt the ostracism gay people did we would have less homophobia.

Why should it matter that people think you're gay? As long as your wife/girlfriend doesn't.

Depending on why your daughter absolutely had to know he was gay (when it's really nobody's business) - you may have deserved that one.

To everyone saying that he shouldn't be talking about his coworker's personal life with his family: He may have had his partner over to dinner and the topic may have arisen. And it could be an FML because of how the rest of his community feels about gays. Doesn't mean he's homophonbic. So stop being so ******* judgemental. You don't know the whole situation.
