Today, I learned that despite having told them two years ago, my parents still aren't accepting of me being gay. I found this out when my mom called and asked if I was "cured" yet. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my mom called me into the living room to say that she had something important to tell me. She then explained how she and my dad had "talked things over" and wanted me to know that they accept me and love me no matter what. Apparently my mom thinks I'm lesbian. I'm not. FML
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, I came out to my parents and siblings as gay. They were very accepting and asked me why I waited until I was 25 to do so. I didn't have the heart to tell them it was their own homophobic remarks that kept me closeted since I realized it at 14, and that a previous coming-out to a parent was dismissed as 'a phase'. 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, my brother came out to our parents. They weren't super happy with it, but they said that it was ok since they still had a straight son. I don't know how to tell them that I'm gay too. 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, 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 found out that my parents have thought I'm lesbian for at least a year. I now understand why my dad has been trying to get me to "hang out" with his co-worker's daughter. FML
Today, I came out to my parents. They still think I'm joking. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm truly sorry. :( Having family who aren't accepting of who you are is tough. I'm bi but haven't told my family because I know how they would feel (which is not very positive).

That's just rude. Ask her if her severe case of ignorance has been "cured" as well.

I am bi sexual and very open about my sexuality. I told my family when I was fifteen and ive always liked girls they ignored it. It's their problem if they can accept you for who you are. You are wonderful and I'm so sorry your mum was such a bitch to you. Embrace the rainbow xxoo

I'm so sorry your mother is so unsupportive. It makes me sad to hear of a parent who doesn't accept their kid for who they are. I will love my kid the same, no matter what! I couldn't imagine ever feeling any different. I hope things get better for you!

Well, **** your parents, op. That's just downright ignorant, and they should learn that it isn't a disease. It's both something you're born with, and a choice. I chose my lesbian lifestyle and I've never been happier. :)

I'm proud of you coming out. She should be proud and supportive of you. Stay strong!

"Cured?" That's disgusting... OP, U doubt you explaining things will help, so I would suggest getting some resources from PFLAG or another organization to show them that this is not a disease that can be cured.

Aw I'm sorry OP :( some people just don't understand it's not some "phase" or "sickness" and that it's really who you are! Just keep on living your life and be happy :) maybe its your parents to need to be "cured" haha
