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

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I came out to my parents. My mom and dad think that I'm lying, just so I could "fit in" with everyone else. 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 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 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 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
Today, I came out to my parents. My mother laughed and, when I asked her what was so funny, she told me, "Well, most gays are attractive, muscular, funny and can dress very well. You're ugly, fat, boring, and have no sense of fashion. Good luck." FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents. My mother turned to me and said, "Wait you're actually gay? I thought you were just saying that to piss off your father." I came out to her when I was 16, and have confided in her about my past relationships. FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my family for the first time. My mother's immediate reaction was, "We didn't know you were gay!" No mom, she really is a girl. FML
Today, I decided to introduce my girlfriend to my parents by telling them that we were gonna have a very special guest for dinner. While my mom was preparing the meal she asked, "What does he like?" I'm straight. My parents thought different. FML

I hate it when people give in to stereotypes. Good for you for coming out though.

She's just trying to make an effort to show she accepts you for you, gay, straight or bi. Sure it's not the best way, but she probably doesn't know what to do. She could have disowned you, kicked you out etc. but she loves you. P.S. good for you for coming out OP. :)

I think they accept you op, but understand the process will be hard for them. It is up to you to get them to blow away the sterotypes...who knows, maybe you can get them involved in gay rights campaigns.

They can't think straight. Give them some time to adjust.

Good for you for coming out. She will understand that you are the same person, give it time, she probably doesn't know what to say/do. Most important is that you feel good about yourself. The ones who love you will always accept you as you are even if they need a little time

I'm probably going to get thumbed down for saying this, but that's ******* hilarious. If I were you I'd have laughed at my moms lack of knowledge about what to do in your situation.

Because the guy in the music video of "call me maybe" ended up being gay.

My guess is that they were probably trying to be supportive the best they know how and are probably just misinformed. I wouldn't take it as an insult, at least they accept you for who you are! ^_^

Congratz for coming out. At least they didn't disown you, they just don't know how the hell to make you feel comfortable.
