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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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!

Yeah, but they could have attempted to show concern/asked OP if he wanted to talk about it. I think that coming out can be a bit of a big deal, even if everyone is really supportive.

I'm sure you expected them to launch intoa bog story about how they loved you anyways, right? At least it was better than the alternative. After my sister came out, my parent disowned her. You should be glad they were indifferent and not judgemental.

You deserved it, cause, everyone deletes their history, right? On the other hand, they were pretty accepting. That's nice to hear..

At least they didn't disown you? Yay me! Looking at the bright side of every shitty situation :D But to be completely serious, ouch. :/ If that happened to me (which it won't, cuz I'm a girl... and I delete my internet history every day [not that there's anything 'interesting' I look at o_o] :D), I would probably die. On the inside. Yeah......

at least they wern't upset i think my parents monitor my internet use.. if they do, i will disown them, not that i do anything bad but its invading my privacy and theyr basically saying they dont trust me at all, so i cant trust them. besides, i hate my dad enough already, he knows it, so why should he continue to make it worse.

Ouch, man. =( I would die if my parents saw my Yaoi collection! But hey, be happy that they aren't mad at you or anything! Some parents would throw you out on the street!
