Today, my friend, who is gay, announced that he's getting married. I implored him to not invite my parents and (especially) my grandma, for reasons that I'm sure you can figure out, but he did anyway. Long story short, he's inconsolable. What excellent parents I have. FML

Unbelievable

Today, at my wedding reception, I jokingly asked my aunt, who has always been convinced that I am gay despite my protests, if she believed me now. She took this the wrong way and drunkenly went around telling my guests that my wedding was a sham to convince her I was straight. FML

Today, it was my wedding day. Midway through the ceremony, my grandma, who's tried to ruin every relationship to date, stood up and shouted that "it ain't right", "you're too good for her", and claimed my fiancée has been cheating on me, before she was finally ejected from the building. FML

The gays

Today, I called my grandmother to wish her a happy Valentine's Day. She asked me if I had a date lined up. I didn't, and before I could explain why, she responded with, "Well, maybe all the other gays went on vacation!" Thanks Grandma, I'm not gay. FML

Today, I married the man of my dreams. At the after-party, my psycho grandma stood up, called for quiet, and engaged in a long rant about how this was "the beginning of the end" and advising everyone that the secret to a successful marriage is "cheating, plain and simple". FML

The last to know

Today, my grandmother called me to tell me that there will be a nice, single guy for me to meet at the family reunion. She went on and on about how perfect he was for me. I didn't have the heart to tell her I'm a lesbian, and have been out to the rest of the family for over six years. FML

Today, my step-sister told me that she was getting married to her girlfriend next summer. At a big family brunch, I made a toast to their marriage. I didn't know that my step-mom didn't know they were dating in the first place, or that she was severely homophobic. FML

Today, my grandmother informed me that I was rude to her at my wedding two months ago, all because she couldn’t sit at the bridal table, even though she "paid for the wedding." FML

Today, during a family reunion, my 89 year-old grandma stood up and drunkenly made a speech about how ashamed I should be of myself for still being single. She then passed out at the table. Half my family got up to help her, the other half whispered in agreement. FML

the prefix **** means same and phobe is irrational fear of. so by literal definition one is afraid of same which makes no sense. The word in its modern use means you hate or despise the homosexual lifestyle. If you don't like homosexuals you've committed two sins. you don't like thy neighbor and you are judging someone else without your own hands being clean of sin, both those things Jesus said not to do. I'm not even Christian and I know that

oh I know that but people say they aren't homophobes because they don't fear homosexuals. I know what it means but if you notice some earlier comment says something to the effect of 'she's not a homophobe if she isn't afraid of homosexuals

Oh. The way your comment was wrote, I thought you were saying something totally different. My bad! Apologies. :)

Best wishes to you both. And I agree with most of the above-stated sentiments, uninvite her. She doesn't deserve to attend.

Congratulations on the marriage, OP! And you shouldn't invite her, it's supposed to be a happy day for you and your partner. No need to let that ruined by her.

I'm sorry she feels she needs to behave that way. Hopefully it doesn't disrupt your special day!

Regardless of your grandmother's views, you'd think she would want to come to support and see her grandchild happy. That's too bad, and I hope you have a great wedding anyway! :)

Today, I woke up from a night of serious depression, drinking by myself at home, to find a USB stick wrapped in plastic up my vagina, with "Top secret" written on it. There was nothing on the stick when I checked. I may need to give tequila a rest and switch back to gin. FML
