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

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

I like your dad, he seems to have a sense of humor.

what do you mean 'whenever we go out', you only told him today...

You have to phrase it that way. It's in the rules.

Well it doesn't seem he is picking at you but if it bothers you, can't you just tell him?

Well ask him, would he rather you have a boyfriend and the possibility of getting pregnant. Or would he rather you be into girls.

its a good thing he uses his sense of humor to deal with this situation

While I could see that becoming tiring fairly quickly, I think that is pretty funny. Were I your dad, I'd probably do the same thing (but not in public.)

Well he'll drop it soon he is having trouble coming to terms to it still...but it's good to come clean...

I find it kind of rude how OP isn't appreciating the fact that her dad isn't making it any worse than that, some parents even disown their children just because they're gay.

That's dumb how some people can't accept that

So, your dad is mentally 12 years old. Nice. But on the bright side, he's making light of it (as dumb as the joke is) rather than shunning you like, unfortunately, many parents do when their kids come out.

He's probably just attempting humor. Sometimes it's hard for parents to accept their kids for who they really are and sometimes attempting humor may be his way of lightening the situation to let you know that he doesn't judge you. If he says it in a mean way well then he's probably just being a dick. But considering the situation I doubt it's the latter.
