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

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I came out to my parents. They nodded empathetically throughout my entire speech and told me repeatedly that it was okay. As I smiled and stood up, my dad asked, "But you're still going to marry a guy, right?" FML

Dad jokes, part #23556
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 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 came out of the closet. Now whenever I'm getting ready to go somewhere with my dad he says, "Lesgo, lesbo." 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, my father contacted me for the first time in years to ask about my upcoming wedding, and possibly walking me down the aisle. He claimed the only reason he left was because he thought I'd be gay. I am. FML

Gay younger brother
About that...
Today, my brother came out to our parents. They weren't super happy with it, but they said that it was ok since they still had a straight son. I don't know how to tell them that I'm gay too. FML

Today, I noticed that my facial hair had grown by an acceptable amount. I spoke to my Dad and decided to show him, thinking he would approve of my manliness. His exact words when I showed him were, "Nah, son. You just look like a lesbian." 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

"Dad, we both love to suck each other's dick. Are we both the 'man?'" Try that one, too.

If youd came out while in drag you wouldnt have had that problem... I certainly didnt have any disscusion about my possition... Just my mum nagging me about my eye liner choice... True story. Good on you too mate :)

Awe, sorry he said that to you, but at least he's more accepting than MY family was. I was totally disowned and excommunicated. Keep your head up, it DOES get better.

I take it you're not "the man"? It's okay ;) don't give your father detailed info and it's cool. As far as he's concerned he's sooo open and supportive... Let him have it? He really loves you!
