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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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
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 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 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 finally decided to tell my parents I was a lesbian. They spent the next few hours reading me the bible. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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!

I like how if you disagree with homosexuality you must be one of the following; intolerant, ignorant, full of hate, close minded, or "religious."

Well what else are you? Intolerant: Well, if you actively disagree with something, you're intolerant of it, aren't you? Ignorant: Well, it really depends on what your arguments against it are, but in more cases than not, yes. Full of hate: If you're antagonizing a certain group of people, you're being hateful - or 'full of hate'. Close Minded: I assume this means 'closed minded' - and if you 'disagree' with the way other people live their lives, that's not exactly being open minded. 'Religious': I don't understand why that's in quotes, but you have to admit that there are many people who use religion to justify baseless hate.

I like how if you disagree with the lifestyle choice of being black, you're a "racist."

to say that you disagree with one's homosexuality is the same as to disagree with one's skin color, hair color, facial structure, etc. Wouldn't you call someone who "disagreed" with your skin color a racist?

Intolerant "unwilling to tolerate difference of opinion." Doesn't that go both ways? Ignorant: According to you what arguments are ignorant? Full of hate: There is a difference between disagreeing on an issue and antagonizing. Close minded: So according to your argument I'm close minded for not agreeing with a lifestyle? I hope you don't support animal rights or being environmentally friendly or pretty much any social issue. Because then you too disagree with the way people live their lives and are a hypocrite. Everybody has their own opinion. Everybody has the right to their own opinion. Religion: I only used that because that is an assumption of anyone that differs with society's view on this issue.

Intolerant: But you're the antagonist in this situation. Ignorant: Arguments that overlook significant research contributing to the idea that homosexuality has to do with cell count of the hypothalamus in the brain Full of hate: I'll give you that one. It doesn't really help your argument, anyway. Closed-minded: Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. I support the Earth myself, and sometimes wonder about people who are carelessly destructive towards it, but in this case there's a very clear 'right' and 'wrong'. Same goes for animal rights. Religion: What? I'm just going to leave that one alone.

I'm with happyguy. overcast you might want to see a therapist for this anger that you are unleashing. I don't hate gays as you say but I disagree with their choice, which doesn't make me ignorant. And so what if I'm religious and believe in GOD. I was just saying what I believe, like you have never disagreed with someone or said your beliefs

About that... It's not a choice. If you think it is, you're ignorant.

You're not born religious, it's a choice.
