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

Wow, deja vu. it took me 3 years to come out to my great gram & pa after telling the rest of my family 10 years ago.. My grandpa is a racist, sexist, WW2 vet and my gram is a conservative, quiet, sweet 96 year old lady, but after finding out, they both treat me the same and still love me. They have gotten use to my partner & love our daughter unconditionaly. I thought I was going to be disowned for sure, but I never wanted to live without being myself around my gram. With all that said, I am sure ur grandma loves u so very much, especially if she is willing to try and "hook u up". ;) I would tell her and hope for the best but do it on ur own time, when ur good and ready. much love + luck

Before just coming out right away, u can try asking what she thinks of the lgbtq community or bring a gay friend and see how she reacts to them. :) just a lil thought.

You can't be blamed mine went on about how her friend had a grandson like that and how disgusted she was that they treated it like it was normal sigh
