Today, I came out of the closet. Now whenever I'm getting ready to go somewhere with my dad he says, "Lesgo, lesbo." FML

When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my son decided to come out of the closet by wearing a shirt that said "Mom, I'm gay" to the family reunion. 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
Today, I told my friends I had been hiding something that I wanted to come clean on. My one friend responds by saying, "FINALLY you come out of the closet. It's about time." I'm not gay. I was just going to tell them my parents were getting a divorce. FML
Today, I came out to my parents. I don't really fit any stereotype, I'm just an average guy who happens to be into guys. Ten minutes later, I overheard my mother say to my step-dad, "Should we redecorate his room pink?" FML
Today, I came out to my mom. I had an epic speech planned, and when I tried to tell her, it all fell apart and I started crying and just said, "I'm gay." After a few seconds silence, my mom sighs and says, "Duh." 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, I came out to my father. He seemed to be totally okay with it, as long as I'm the "man" in my relationships. FML
Today, I briefly considered coming out to my parents when the topic of LGBTQ+ people came up in conversation, until my dad called them “socially deranged.” FML
Today, I finally came out to my dad, who is a priest, as gay. He responded by splashing me with holy water to "banish the demon within" me. FML
Today, I introduced my new boyfriend to my parents. Everyone knows he's into the emo scene, but this didn't stop my dad from slowly looking him up and down, then saying, completely deadpan, "You never told us you were a lesbian, honey." FML

#119, are you sure that's a real story? It sounds like one of those longwinded jokes with the punchline missing.

Definitely not a ful. Seems like your dad just has a sense of humor. Many kids are kicked out by their parents once they come out. A few jokes at your expense doesn't seem so harsh in comparison.

I'm bisexual and came out to my parents. Mom is still trying to get out of the "it's a phase" mind set, but seriously? I know people who told their parents and they disowned them and kicked then out. Your dad sounds like mine, but my dad I know fully accepts it. If that's the worse you endure from your parents on that then be appreciative you are one of the lucky ones. Though it may upset you just know if he didn't love you or willing to accept it then he would probably be like those other parents and disown you. So make light jokes. I remember one I was driving my dad somewhere as I parked crooked, right? He was all "Uh Dravvin you didn't park straight." So I went "I'm not straight!" And seriously, it was just turned into light humor right there. Be thankful you are one of the lucky ones, sweetie. I know I am :)

What were you doing inside the closet?

Relax, commenters. I'm pretty sure that a father/daughter relationship that contains that kind of non-PC joke will survive both 1) her sexuality and 2) his sense of humor. Keep your diatribes to yourself. And OP - congrats on a dad who isn't freaking out, disowning you, beating you up, or taking you to anti-gay therapy.
