Today, my grandmother called me to tell me that there will be a nice, single guy for me to meet at the family reunion. She went on and on about how perfect he was for me. I didn't have the heart to tell her I'm a lesbian, and have been out to the rest of the family for over six years. FML

Today, I finally came out to my family as a lesbian. My grandma then told me I'm just going through a phase because I finally realized I'm not pretty or skinny enough to get a man. FML
Today, I called my grandmother to wish her a happy Valentine's Day. She asked me if I had a date lined up. I didn't, and before I could explain why, she responded with, "Well, maybe all the other gays went on vacation!" Thanks Grandma, I'm not gay. FML
Today, I've been single for so long my grandmother had to ask if I actually like women or not. FML
Today, I came out as lesbian and introduced my new girlfriend to my family. My mom angrily told me that I should have waited until my grandparents had died before coming out, and that I was "extremely disrespectful" for making this announcement. I honestly thought everyone would be fine with it. 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
Today, my entire family thinks I'm a lesbian. I'm straight. I'm embarrassed and don't know how to tell them that I've been single for so long because I can't get a guy. FML
Today, I attended a family reunion, during which my grandma gave me "relationship advice" in front of everyone. She's been married five times, and her longest marriage lasted a whole 6 months. FML
Today, my grandma called me to tell me that a couple of cute boys stopped by her house to borrow something. She told them all about me, and that I would be interested in them. My love life is so pathetic, even my grandmother is trying to hook me up. FML
Today, my friend, who is gay, announced that he's getting married. I implored him to not invite my parents and (especially) my grandma, for reasons that I'm sure you can figure out, but he did anyway. Long story short, he's inconsolable. What excellent parents I have. FML
Today, my grandma told me point-blank that she despises gays, but that she'll go to my wedding for the booze and nothing more. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She probably already knows and is just trying to get you to tell her.

Tell her you love *****. Hopefully she doesn't know what it means. It won't stop her from looking for a guy for you but at least you implied that your a lesbian.

I kind of disagree. I feel like people are grasping the fact of where the OP would meet the male more than the fact that she's a lesbian. I mean, she would post an FML if he was going to meet her at a dinner, but she probably wouldn't post an FML if she was straight and going to meet him at a family reunion. If granny is so old fashioned that she can't handle the fact her granddaughter is a lesbian, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't set her up with her cousin.

How retarded is everyone? No offense. Basically, she (Grandmother) means that when they go to the family reunion and they all meet up, she would take him there with her to meet her. The FML is that she is lesbian. So am I. ;)

I do find it weird that grandma is setting her up at their family reunion. In my family, we do not bring any boyfriend/girlfriend unless we are very serious about them.

That's sad. But never mind. You shall just be nice and play along with her. Make her happy.
