By Username - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff

Today, I was told by my mom that I'm a terrible person because I won't help my brother get a girlfriend. He's gay, but won't tell her because he thinks it's hilarious when she yells at me. FML

Your mom is probably in fear that if he doesn't get a girlfriend ASAP that he'll turn out to be gay. Little does she know.(: Matchmaker, matchmaker Make me a match. Find me a find Catch me a catch

"Turn out to be gay"?????????? You either are or you aren't. A person doesn't just "turn out" that way if he doesn't get a girlfriend before a certain time.

You forgot the second part of the song, ma'am. :) Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Plan me no plans I'm in no rush Maybe I've learned Playing with matches A girl can get burned So, Bring me no ring Groom me no groom Find me no find Catch me no catch Unless he's a matchless match.

35 Are you speaking to me or in general? I did say "little does she know" for a reason. 36 Someone's been watching "Fiddler on the Roof" more times than once!(:

#35, actually, many people are bisexual without realizing it and they date the opposite sex because that's what most people around them do. But if they suffer major deceptions from the opposite sex, they start dating the same sex. In that case, of course they were bisexual from the beginning, but they weren't aware of it until then. And for the people around them, it's as if they "turned" gay. #39, come on, didn't your parents/relatives ever try to set you up with someone? You must have had a very lucky lovelife, then. Many parents play matchmaker for their kids. Even though it's annoying and embarrassing and it almost never works, that doesn't make them pimps, they just want their kids to be happy.

True 42, I'm kinda like that I guess... I can be with a girl cause I don't care, as long as I'm with someone who makes me happy. I've only been with guys though cause they're easier to talk to. Etc.

it's not your job to find him someone, so dont worry about it. keep yourself to yourself and let him deal with it.

Ok, the 'gay twist' at the end isn't the odd part of this story. No, the odd part is right up front. WHY is it your job to get him a girlfriend? Does your mom think you're a pimp? ARE you a pimp? The hell?

Why does he need 'help', can't the poor guy just find someone himself? FHL, if you ask me.

Find him a guy that cross dresses.

Tell her he's gay. It's not that difficult. Then you won't get yelled at and he probably will.

Just why is your mother yelling at you? Even if your brother were heterosexual (? I'm french so I'm not sure about the word), you are not obligated to find him a girlfriend, or a boyfriend ^^

To help you it's homosexual. Heterosexual is if he likes the opposite sex.
