Today, my mum decided that me being bisexual meant that I was "deciding whether or not to be a lesbian" because supposedly, no man will have me. Thanks mum. FML

Today, my mom tried to convince my dad that I was a lesbian. Why? Because she was bored. FML

Today, I finally thought that my mother was okay with me being a lesbian. Then, over dinner, she turns to me and says, "So, do you still think you like girls, or are you going to start being normal again?" FML

Today, my mom went to a psychic. The reason? She has convinced herself that I'm gay, even though I've told her that I'm not and never have been. The psychic disagreed. Apparently, I'm bicurious with one of my guy friends. Guess who my mom believes? FML

Today, my mom called me into the living room to say that she had something important to tell me. She then explained how she and my dad had "talked things over" and wanted me to know that they accept me and love me no matter what. Apparently my mom thinks I'm lesbian. I'm not. FML

Supportive parents

Today, when I came out to my family, my mom told me in all seriousness she’d rather me be a prostitute than a lesbian. She added, “At least prostitutes have sex with men.” When I pointed out that lesbians can also be prostitutes, she kicked me out of the house. She’s changed the locks. FML

Today, my mom barged into my room, threw 5 boxes of condoms at me, then said, "So you don't get pregnant". She still hasn't accepted the fact that I'm a lesbian. FML

Today, I came out to my mom as a lesbian. She told me that it was impossible, because since she isn't one, she therefore couldn't have given birth to one. She still won't believe me. FML

Keeping up

Today, I found out that my mother has been telling everybody that I’m a lesbian, because both of her best friends have at least one gay child each, and she was feeling left out. This explains why people have been treating me differently the last few weeks. FML

Today, my girlfriend's mother insisted she's not homophobic, but however people only 'turn gay' because they were sexually abused, or are 'making it up to get attention'. She informed me I'm the former and my girlfriend is the latter. Uh huh. FML

Today, after having a long talk with my mother about LGBT rights, she told me that she was totally open. I felt completely relieved, being gay myself. Seconds later, she said, "But not for you. I want you to find me a nice girl that can give me lots of grandkids." FML

Back when I was in high school is was fairly common for ugly women to become "lesbian or bisexual." Only because no men would get with them. So WIN for your mom.

Haha. My mother would never actually say that to me, but she'd think it if I came out of the closet to her.

ah, same situation, here. except my ex girlfriend was a bitchhhh. but no, bisexuals aren't always for threesomes, or anything like that. they just want to explore the other perspectives on things.

I'm also 14 and I had just recently discovered I was bi when I moved to a different state. (Alabama, go figure.) And I also lean more towered girls for some reason. I really want to tell my mom but she is incredibly judgmental of gays and lesbians but even I have heard her say to my brother that gays are just born that way, so maybe she will understand. I don't think I'm going to tell her for a long time though. Haha, parents can really be so ignorant sometimes.

I totally agree with you! I had such a hard time but when I hit 16 and moved out of the house it got so much easier! Be proud of who you are and the way you were meant to be. :-)
