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

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 has alot of courage, and for that you should be proud of him. Best way to weed out parts of the family not worth calling your own blood IMO. If anyone has a problem, shame on them, they have serious issues for not accepting someone of their own blood for something as silly as homosexuality. People who hate for such a reason are children who haven't moved on from the playground IMO, they might as well be picking on someone for having curly hair or glasses, they just need to GROW UP. I guess as a person who has many open friends and family members, I truly don't understand such hate, just a concept I see as incredibly archaic and just plain silly.

I know, I didn't even really come out >< Yahoo Answers basically outed me with an email to my parents saying that I had answered the question "Is being gay wrong?" and they just guessed from there...

I think this one is probably a lie. If not, then you're a cruddy parent for saying "FML" over something like this instead of being supportive.

1. Your son ROCKS. If he weren't gay, I'd ask for his number so I could marry him. 2. YDI, completely, for making him feel like he couldn't come to you to discuss it privately. 3. Is he like 100% sure he's gay? Or just like experimenting..?

I wish I could have done that. I used a sticky note. If I didn't already have a boyfriend, I'd ask for his number... Speaking of which, I'd better go call him.

hopefully the OP was more worried that the son had "come out of the closet" more tactfully rather than the fact that her son is gay (just saying that's another way to interpret it)

Yes, your son did come out at a family reunion. But at least he finally had the courage to speak up and tell you about his true sexuality. If you disown him for it then you are the worst mother ever. It's understandable to be shocked or even scared at first, but you have to accept it. He's your SON! You're supposed to love him no matter what! Think of how your child would feel if he knew that you hated him after he thought that he could trust you enough to tell you that. Be a good mother. Accept him.

I really hope you're a good enough parent that this FML is NOT because he came out but because his method may have embarrassed you.
