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

Anyone read the story of the rugby player that was in an accident and had some brain damage? He was straight then was in an accident went into a coma , and then when he woke up he was gay. OP I'm not sayi g you have brain damage it's just the subject of the post that made me remember the story. Glad your dad has a sense of humor. He will stop saying it after a while .

That's not a bad thing! Obviously he's got minimal issues with your sexuality because I can imagine the number of really horrible things he could've said. Be glad you're accepted, unlike so many other gay and lesbian people who come out to their parents!!

At least he is trying to put humor into it and not disown you like most parents would .

You should take it with humour. :)

Why were you in a closet?

I think your dad has an amazing sense of humor... If he's late for something, you could say "I don't wait for straights."

Consider yourself lucky! There are a lot of "parents" who would disown you when you need them the most! Hopefully he isn't being hateful and his ill-mannered "joke" will have a short life. I wish you nothing but happiness!
