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.

Well congrats on coming out, and perhaps she was trying to be supportive? When my uncle came out to my great-grandmother, she used to make him jewelry and buy him makeup for "when he went to the gay clubs". Obviously she was a little confused about the gay thing, but she tried her best; hopefully this is the case in your situation.

Dude, if that's the worst of it you've got it made. Do you have any idea how many parents disown their their kids when they come out?

Your mom is a ******* retard. Not all gay guys are into pink. Hell, 99% of the gay guys i know aren't.... They also are not mega interior decorators.

Talk to her some more and tell her things don't have to change. As reactions go, it's better than rejection or anger but it sounds like she just needs some education.

At least they aren't trying to put you into therapy to "fix" your being gay. A lot of people are ignorant about what it means to be gay. We are just as varied as straight people when it comes to personality. Be glad she is ignorant about that rather than the completely unaccepting.
