Today, my entire extended family was over for Christmas. I opened a gift to see that it was a fruitcake and saw everyone looking at me, smiling. This is their way to tell me that they know I'm gay and that they accept me. I'm straight. FML

O_o why are you complaining? You have a loving family that accepts you and encourages you to be yourself! Feel lucky!

Am I the only one who doesn't get how giving someone a fruitcake means that you think they're gay?

"Fruit" or "Fruitcake" is an uncommon insult when referring to a homosexual individual.

There's only one present they could have thought of that would have been stupider and more offensive than the cake, and that would have been a cigarette.

I think that would only work in England though.

The cigarette would have made this hilarious. But the OP may or may not have gotten it.

Don't worry, some people assumed I am homosexual or bisexual. I actually got flirted and asked out by homosexual guys. And I am straight -_-. I understand how he feels. They should have confronted him and ask him instead of assuming he is. It's not that he considers homosexual an insult, it is that his family thinks they know him better than he does.

Maybe quit acting all prancy, then? Get somebody to film you, then try to see where you could act more butch. You're putting out effeminate signals.

maybe if you'd stop trying to deepthroat your uncle people wouldn't jump to that conclusion.

Ask for a gift receipt so you can return it; you're not the first person to get a gift they don't want today.

Ugh, they got you nasty ass fruitcake because they are cheap and don't love you. Not because they think you are gay.
