Today, my brother came out on Facebook, with a message including the words "I got nothing against gays. Except my dick!" I replied "Eww!" My second comment, "Eww because of the analogy, lol." disappeared among a load of replies tearing me apart for being a homophobe. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I logged onto Facebook to see one of my "friends" had used my account to post a coming-out story. It had comments on it such as "I knew it!" "Finally." and "That explains so much." FML
Today, I came out of the closet. I came out on Facebook to spare myself awkward conversations and gossip. I wrote a deeply meaningful status about my partner and my pride in who I was. The only responses were, "Lol", "Hacked", and similar remarks. FML
Today, I went on Facebook to find that my little brother had messed with my profile. He wrote on my status that I'm a piece of shit, I have no life, and several other nasty and perverted things. Underneath, it said 26 of my friends liked this. I'm new to Facebook. So far I have 26 friends. FML
Today, I forgot to log out of my Facebook account before leaving for work. When I got back home, I discovered that my brother had gone through and commented "quack" on all my friend's duckfacing photos. She was not pleased. FML
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 thought I was going on a date. About 20 minutes into it, after giving her my arm to hold (like a true gentleman) it came up in conversation that my brother is gay. Her response: "Oh, so both you and your brother are gay?" 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, my brother‘s will read that everything would go to our other brother, so long as he punched me for having an affair with my his wife. So now I have a black eye. I’m gay, but I've never told my family. I didn't have an affair with his wife. FML
Today, it's been a week since my little brother took up his new hobby of posting "cool story, bro" in reply to almost every Facebook status and comment that I make. Not only do I already want to smash his face against a brick wall, my parents will ground me if I defriend any family members. FML
Today, after being supportive for nearly a year, my brother finally came out of the closet and introduced the family to his new boyfriend. His new boyfriend happens to be my ex-boyfriend. Guess I know why that didn't work out now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm not sure why you wouldn't just edit your original comment instead of writing a second message. There's a reason why the editing option exists.

Shit I don't get this one

Too many sensitive people OP, I wouldn't have said anything after they call me a homophobe. Let them think and say what they want. If you know you're not one at heart, who cares what anyone else thinks.

I'm really sorry you're having a hard time because of a misinterpreted comment. But, your brother is kind of lucky to have so many people stand up for him, even if they are doing it misguidedly. I'm sure he'd appreciate your support too, strangers on the internet will probably calm down and see your explanation eventually but your brother is likely never going to stop having to come out throughout his life.

People are so stupid. Saying ew to something like that doesn't necessarily mean you're homophobic. Dick jokes aren't everyone's cup of tea. FYL

(As everyone else has mentioned) Edit the comment instead of posting a second as 'correction'.

This fml made me feel wonderful I grew up in the 80's and being gay was ridiculed and people were afriad to come out while I know this still happens it's great he felt safe enough to come out on facebook and his friends were so supportive and quick to defend him. Thought the joke was a great way to do it too!

People who hate anti-gays are no better than anti-gay people.

This is definitely a YDI, your brother posted an immature message. You didn't need to write a puerile response.

It's not puerile to say "ew" in response to your brother coming out in such a vulgar way.

You don't have to be a homophobe to be disgusted by the idea of sodomy. I'd say "eww" even if it were a reference to a female in the same context. people need to chill.
