Today, I found out that my friends were convinced that I was gay. I have known most of them for 3 plus years, they all thought my girlfriend was a special shopping partner. I found this out while announcing my engagement. 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, I announced to my friends that I'd proposed to my girlfriend and she'd said yes. I thought they'd be happy for me, since they were the ones who introduced me to her after all. Instead, they all were flabbergasted. One told me, "You realize we set you up with that fat chick as a joke, right?" FML

Today, I came out as a lesbian to my friends. They were supportive, save for my one friend, who accused me of copying her by also being a lesbian. FML

Today, I was shopping with my girlfriend, when I saw my best friend. I jokingly did a double-take and said I didn't recognize him with his clothes on. We laughed, talked a bit, then went our separate ways. My girlfriend later dumped me, claiming I'm blatantly gay and cheating on her. FML

Assumptions…

Today, my sister gently asked me if I was gay. Turns out I've been without a boyfriend for so long that the whole family believes I secretly have a girlfriend. 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

Today, after weeks of summoning up the courage to come out of the closet to my best friend, I told her I was gay. Immediately after she started cracking up, thinking it was a joke. I was so confused and nervous, I went along with it. She still thinks I'm straight. FML

I voted in your favor on this one, but then I thought about something. In the three years you knew these people, you never once told them that this girl was your girlfriend? Because that's the only way they could still think you were gay. So I guess you kind of half deserve it.

Mercy, you know that my expendaballs belong to nowt but you, still bidding for carrier pigeons on eBay by the way... And it was actually a Cat in the Hat suit, for World Book Day. I spoke entirely in rhyme that day, think I got beaten up by a kid who thought Star Wars counted as a book and was therefore Darth Vader... It was probably pretty amazing to watch...

Maybe they know something you don't. FYL either way.

This sucks and I feel you. When my wife and I were dating we went to a restaurant together. When I left to go to the bathroom our waitress asked my girlfriend if she realized that her date was gay. There are a lot of things that make people assume you are gay, I always get told that it's because I'm small. Seriously. As dumb as that reason is that is what I get told by people, especially gay men who hit on me. My advice is to just not care, if you seem gay for whatever reason just get used to it. You will most likely always have to explain to people that you are not and any attempt to change that you seem gay will just make you seem like a closeted gay man. People are just judgmental and expect that you fit into a little box defined by society, most no one actually fits into these boxes, but that hasn't ended the perception.

OP, I bet you're one of these weird guys who doesn't show any affection to his girl or even touch her if you're in public. My cousin married a guy like that... no one else in the family even knew they were dating until she announced the engagement. We all thought he was just a gay friend. And after being engaged for over a year, the first time I ever saw them kiss or even hold hands was at the wedding. That's just creepy. I don't know about you, but if I was in love enough with a woman to agree to spend the rest of my life with her, I'd be all over that girl, in private AND public.
