Uncertainty

Today, my parents bought me a wine glass with "Who needs a man?" painted all over it. Cute, until after dinner my mom looked me in the eyes and asked with complete sincerity, "Kara, are you gay?" My parents tried to get me to come out. I'm straight. FML

My parents ask me the same thing almost every week... I'm straight too :(

Yeah, FYL for having parents who are accepting about that. /sarcasm All you had to say was "no" and that's the end. Be thankful you don't have those parents who would disown you if you were.

At first I though you where a girl from your name, maybe your style of writing. Maybe grow some balls and be a man? You will never achieve anything in life being a sissy.

It sounds like you have parents who love you whether you're gay or straight and were just trying to help you come out... OK, they got it wrong but their heart was in the right place. And it could have been worse, they could have tried to get you to come out by singing "If you were gay" from Avenue Q

Hey, one of my friends is named Kara! But she's gay, so I'm guessing you're not her... And to echo everyone else - it might have made for an awkward moment, but at least you know your parents love you no matter what.

OP: There's nothing wrong with being gay. Don't be afraid to come out. It should make it easier now that you know you have your parents' support.

#8 and #12-- WTF having gay kids is not becoming a "fad", some people have kids who are gay, and there is nothing wrong with the circle of life, and being gay is not evil. OP-- at least you know your parents are supportive of you regardless of your sexual orientation

At least they're supportive? I don't really see how this is an FML. You found out you have parents that care about you and are accepting of you? Poor you! SOME of us aren't so lucky. :| My sympathy for you is limited.

u realize there is nothing wrong with being gay and besides... seeing as it was a 'who needs a man' one, i assume they thought lesbian. and believe me, lesbianism in general is more accepted than male homosexuality (again: dont get me wrong: i support the rights of the LGBT community)

hahaha that's so badd! and my sisters name is kara! loll (:

Why is it always that the heterosexual people have supportive parents, but those who are actually gay often don't? That's what it seems like on fmylife.com.
