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

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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

I think that him saying you need to be the 'man' in the relationship is much better than how many fathers have reacted. My friend's father believed he had lost his masculinity entirely and kicked him out of the house.....your situation is a lucky one.

I Hate that they close comments because they don't want things getting out of hand ... Even though this is just FML a website made in a country containing freedom of speech

Anyway this isn't an FML cause at least he accepted you right away considering a lot of parents are ****** up and disown their children and that is so much worse than anyone being gay especially because they merely read it out of a book

OMG this happened to my friends ex. He came out to his extremely catholic father who lost it before pausin and asking: 'do you ****, or are you ******?'. He didn't want to upset his dad further so he said: 'i ****' After that everything was peachy.

So? That's so mellow!! My dad hasn't talked to me since I came out, and my partner's family kicked her out of the house.

I don't know why you are so upset. At least your dad is okay with your decision. You sound really whiny.

Well, I'm neither gay nor a man so I'll never have that conversation, but I bet that's awkward.
