Today, I finally came out to my family as a lesbian. My grandma then told me I'm just going through a phase because I finally realized I'm not pretty or skinny enough to get a man. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my grandmother called me to tell me that there will be a nice, single guy for me to meet at the family reunion. She went on and on about how perfect he was for me. I didn't have the heart to tell her I'm a lesbian, and have been out to the rest of the family for over six years. FML
Today, I came out as lesbian and introduced my new girlfriend to my family. My mom angrily told me that I should have waited until my grandparents had died before coming out, and that I was "extremely disrespectful" for making this announcement. I honestly thought everyone would be fine with it. 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 finally worked up the courage to tell my mom that I'm gay. She sympathetically patted my back and told me I don't need to make up excuses for me being so unattractive to women. 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, my entire family thinks I'm a lesbian. I'm straight. I'm embarrassed and don't know how to tell them that I've been single for so long because I can't get a guy. FML
Today, and hopefully for the last time, my grandma gave me a lecture about getting with the times, that it's socially acceptable nowadays, to be honest with myself, be free, and to come out. Emphasizing on the "Dearie" endearments. Apparently, to her and "most people today", being a bachelor-by-choice means you're gay. 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, after being out of the closet for over three years, I learned that some of my friends still don't believe me that I am really a lesbian. They still think I made the whole thing up because I can't get a man. FML
Today, at 18, I finally told my mom I was gay. She spent the rest of the day bringing up my "future wife" at every possible chance she had. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Some people just really don't get it. Ignore her close mindedness OP

Wow, your grandma managed to insult you in three ways in only one sentence. That is impressively douchey

OP your grammaw is a trolling tool of wrinkly aged leather. What does she know anyway? Hold your head high and show your lesbyterian pride!!

I'm sorry your grandma isn't more accepting, or sensitive. It was good that you had the courage to tell your family. (: From one **** to another, I wish you the best of luck!

have you ever thought of a diet so you can prove to grandma that you are really a lesbian by choice?

How does losing weight have anything to do with the situation? Your sexuality IS NOT A CHOICE. I have many friends who are gay men and Lesbian women that agree with the fact you're born that way.

Some people project their own faults and mistakes on others to make themselves feel better. Maybe your grandmother just felt that way about herself when she was younger.

What's up with al these grandmas with attitude and no common sense, much less support for their grandchildren.

Don't listen to anyone else that's going to speak negative about it. I came out when I was 14 and it was the best thing to do. It's not a phase and it sure as hell doesn't mean that just because you haven't found a man to date (common excuse someone would say) that's the reason you are who you are. Ignore all negative comments family members and friends will say. Those are the close minded ones and have very little to say. Don't change for NO ONE! Stay the way you are and if you ever need advice send me a message :)

Maybe grandma does get it. All parents want their kids to be straight and get married and have kids. Last time I checked 2 penises or 2 vaginas couldn't accomplish this

Actually, I'm not sure how you can speak for all parents that way. Last time I checked, there's hundreds of kids waiting to be adopted.

It doesn't mean that they love their kids any less though

Grandma doesn't understand at all. You can't force someone to be something they aren't.

You gotta convince Grandma to get into the 21st century...tell her these days there are Plumpa Humpas who like the BBWs. I don't know what they call guys who specialize in ugly lesbians, and I'm scared to plumb Urban Dictionary to find out what the term is.
