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 found out that my son has been telling me he's gay so we would allow the "female friend" who is actually his girlfriend to stay over. FML

Today, I came out to my mom. I had an epic speech planned, and when I tried to tell her, it all fell apart and I started crying and just said, "I'm gay." After a few seconds silence, my mom sighs and says, "Duh." FML

Today, I found out that my son is not really gay. He just told me that so I'd let him have girls in his bedroom. 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, my brother came out to our family as being gay. My mother starting crying because she "wanted grandchildren." I told her that I was planning on having children. She started crying harder. FML

Today, I came out to my parents. I don't really fit any stereotype, I'm just an average guy who happens to be into guys. Ten minutes later, I overheard my mother say to my step-dad, "Should we redecorate his room pink?" FML

About that...

By Gay younger brother - 30/06/2018 01:30

Today, my brother came out to our parents. They weren't super happy with it, but they said that it was ok since they still had a straight son. I don't know how to tell them that I'm gay too. FML

Today, I came out of the closet, after years of fear and shame, thanks to my mom making me to go to a church full of fundies my whole life. In the end, I was in tears. All I got was a frown and a "So? Want a medal or something?" 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

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!

I'd be proud. This is a horrible FML. You should have respect for him that he is honest, and if you and your family don't accept him, you all are hypocrites, and assholes.

AWESOME. That kid's got some guts. OP: Get the HELL over it. Stop being so god damned ashamed of your son (which you obviously are to have posted this as an FML). He is who he is, and you're not going to change that. If you have a problem with it, you can just go to hell, you bitch. There is NOTHING wrong with being gay. Whether you think this is an FML because your son is gay or because he came out in front of your whole family, it doesn't matter. Do you hate people of different races, too? Do you hate men, simply because they're not women? Because they're DIFFERENT? Too ******* bad. Your son is different, okay? Stop being such a ******* homophobe and learn to accept it!!

Why are you posting this on FML? I mean, I'm gay and my family doesn't have a problem with it. I'd be proud if it were my kid. You seriously need to get over it! You should support him, because believe me he's going to get hell from everyone else because of it! If you actually loved your son it wouldn't matter whether or not he was gay! Welcome to the 21st century!

I have to say that I'm a little saddened to see that you weren't ok enough with your son's choice to come out to your whole family that you felt the need to post it here. I am further saddened though by the moderators who agreed with you on the matter. All this goes to say is that you are ashamed of who your son is.

how is this an fml ? at least he TOLD you instead of you finding out some other way. hes your son, you should be supportive no matter which gender he likes.
