Today, I finally got the courage to tell my parents that I'm gay. My mom said "Yeah, we know." When I asked how they knew, my dad, without looking up from the tv, said, "We've been monitoring your Internet history." FML

Today, after weeks of thinking and playing every outcome possible in my head, I told my parents I'm gay. My dad nodded and didn't even look up from his book; my mom told me to go to the doctor if it starts to itch. FML

Today, as an April fools day joke, I decided to tell my mom and dad that I was gay. After an awkward silence, my mom looks at me, smiles, and says, "well, we have known for a while." She wasn't joking. 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 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 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. Their response was basically, "Oh, you’re coming out? But we’ve known for years. It was obvious, so obvious we never knew you were in the closet in the first place." FML

Today, I told my friends I had been hiding something that I wanted to come clean on. My one friend responds by saying, "FINALLY you come out of the closet. It's about time." I'm not gay. I was just going to tell them my parents were getting a divorce. FML

Major invasion of your privacy, sure. But at least they didn't freak out and were totally fine about it. Plus, they waited until you were ready to tell them rather than confront you when they figured it out through snooping...gotta give them credit for that!

Google Chrome + Incognito Mode = They don't know you're gay until you want them to, bro. But I think it might be a little too late for that advice. XD

unless you're over 16 your parents monitoring web activity is them caring. over that can get a bit much and over 18 that shouldn't be done at all IMHO. either way not really a fml IMHO cause they're obviously accepting of you being gay.

Overcast117 why don't you end your own life. You are obviously gay or you wouldn't be so defensive. Gay people go to hell. It's in the bible fyi so tell me how that heat is once you get there

I don't believe in God, but if I did I would say that intolerant douchebags like yourself would be more likely to go to hell than people who are attracted to other members of their gender.

You act like I, at some point, said I wasn't. That in and of itself is the fatal flaw in your argument. I won't have to tell you about it. A hateful son of a bitch like yourself will find out first hand. ;)

The bible also says to love everyone, and not to judge them. I am a Christian, and some of the nicest people I know are gay. And on that note, I know gay people that go to church. Compared to those people, I think people like you are in more trouble.
