Today, my son decided to come out of the closet by wearing a shirt that said "Mom, I'm gay" to the family reunion. FML

I want to high five your son.

So not an FML, just accept your son for who he is, and kudos to him for being brave enough to come out to the entire family!

Your son took a lot of balls to do something like this, and at a family reunion, even. You should be proud of him for his decision. If your family doesn't agree, that's their problem, not yours. They need to learn to be more open-minded. If you don't agree, then there's still time for you to understand his lifestyle, rather than outright reject him. He's your son. Him being gay doesn't change that fact.

For all you people poo-pooing the OP, the FML is not in the fact that her son is gay, but in the tactless way that he announced it. He didn't think it was appropriate to tell his own mother before everyone else? That seems extremely inconsiderate and disrespectful, but maybe that's just me. And I personally think any shirt that makes a comment about the wearer's sexual preferences is inappropriate for any situation and would be mortified if a child of mine came to a family gathering wearing one - gay or straight. Those things are just tacky.

I'm sorry to hear that you are such a bigoted asshole. Actually I'm more sorry for the human race, because we need to put up with you and listen to you try to force your barbaric, old-fashioned, moronic, fear-based opinions on us. Homophobic assholes like you disgust me

this is not an FML, this is a F your son's Life for having such a b***h for a mother.

YAY for real life trolls! and if he was being serious......BEST WAY TO COME OUT EVER! How much fun is it to tell the whole world you're gay AND piss off everyone in your family at the same time?!?

So, your son came out. Where's the FML in this story? Nothing wrong with him being gay. Go ahead and disown him, put him out of your life. You'll be the one missing out later, you'll see.
