Today, it's been 1 month since I've accepted that I'm gay, 1 week since telling my strict, southern baptist, bible-thumping parents, 1 day since my mom stopped crying and my dad finally spoke to me, and 1 hour since discovering that I'm pregnant. FML

Today, after weeks of thinking and playing every outcome possible in my head, I told my parents I'm gay. My dad nodded and didn't even look up from his book; my mom told me to go to the doctor if it starts to itch. FML

Today, I learned that despite having told them two years ago, my parents still aren't accepting of me being gay. I found this out when my mom called and asked if I was "cured" yet. FML

Today, I came out as bisexual while we were in the car. My mom started crying behind the steering wheel, driving at 85 mph. She later told my dad, even though I asked her not to. My dad said, "Give it a month, he'll grow out of it." I realized I was bi 4 years ago. FML

Today, I finally got the courage to tell my parents that I'm gay. My mom said "Yeah, we know." When I asked how they knew, my dad, without looking up from the tv, said, "We've been monitoring your Internet history." FML

Today, I finally let my parents meet a boyfriend of mine for the first time ever. My dad mentioned how he was happy to finally meet him, because for the past 4 years he'd thought I was gay. FML

Today, as an April fools day joke, I decided to tell my mom and dad that I was gay. After an awkward silence, my mom looks at me, smiles, and says, "well, we have known for a while." She wasn't joking. FML

The real me

Today, I finally told my parents I'm trans. My dad started crying and told me he loved me no matter what. My mother threw a chair at me, and told my dad it was his "wife-like" behaviour that made me this way. She then prayed out loud for an hour for God to send her a real husband and son. FML

Today, I came out to my parents as lesbian. Surprisingly, they were OK with it… just as long as I still marry a dude, give them grandbabies, and keep the whole lesbian thing a deep, dark, shameful secret that we never talk about again. FML

Girl, you seem to be in a world of hurt. I'm not sure which is worse to them: That you're gay or that you had sex before marriage, or that you got pregnant.

There are a lot of 1s here. Can I assume you're going to have 1 child?

Not how what works? She said she accepted that she was gay which implies she was trying to live a straight life which would involve having sex with men. it's not that uncommon for gay people to partake in sex with the opposite gender for any number reasons like trying convince themselves they're straight or doing so as a cover and so on.

I guess you have an answer when people ask that dumb question, “but how do you know for sure if you haven’t tried it with a guy?”

This is your chance to prove to them gay parents can be just as good as straight ones.

How did you come to know you're gay? Bad sex and a threesome does not a lesbian make. idk what has you in more trouble. liking women? getting lucky after winter formal? This really nerds a follow up.
