Today, I was in the hospital. I had recently broken my arm, and had to have it re-broken. I've secretly been a lesbian for years. Guess who came out to her strict Christian parents while on anesthetics. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I came out to my parents as lesbian. Surprisingly, they were OK with it… just as long as I still marry a dude, give them grandbabies, and keep the whole lesbian thing a deep, dark, shameful secret that we never talk about again. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of 5 years after finally realizing I'm a lesbian. He then outed me to my very religious and conservative family. 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 learned that the girl who severely bullied me in highschool for being a lesbian just came out as a lesbian. FML
Today, I came out to my therapist as gay. Claiming that my parents "can't be that homophobic", my therapist outed me to them. They kicked me out of the house. FML
Today, I had to go to the hospital. While I was there, my mom started hitting on a doctor. Later I saw them making out in the room next to me. 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, my wife and I both got released from the hospital. She was admitted for the birth of our daughter. I was admitted with a broken arm from when my mother-in-law shoved me out of the way because she wanted to be the first one to hold the baby after my wife. FML
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 came out as transgender to my extremely accepting and religious family over Facebook. My feed is currently flooded with plans for my exorcism. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Your parents will always love you and accept you for you. And when did you plan on telling them? It's better now than ten years from now. Good luck ;)

You would be surprised. What you just stated isn't always true. Many parents disown their kids for being LGBT.

which is why, in the us, 3/4 or more of homeless teens are gay- their parents kick them out

It should never come out like that. Good luck, maybe things happen for a reason, eh?

Oh dear, I hope they didn't break your arm a third time. Good luck! Even the strictest parents often get used to it after a while. It's easier to hate homosexuality in theory than to hate your lesbian daughter.

If you told them "under the influence," so to speak, you must have had a least a part of you that wanted to tell them. I can't imagine how hard it would be to have to keep your loved ones a secret from your family. I hope it turns out well. Even though you hear horror stories about people who are disowned by family members based on "religion," it isn't how it turns out the majority of the time. They might not jump up and down about it, but I imagine they still love you and will come to accept it with time. If not, I am so terribly sorry, and they aren't worth it. My bet is that everything will turn out okay in the end, even if it's a bit uncomfortable for a while.

Anyway, be glad you didn't have to feel the awkwardness of a coming-out conversation :)

There's plenty of things kids should be scared to talk to their parents about, but their sexuality should never be one of them.

Thank god for creating the minds to create sedatives. That just helped you do something you couldn't do without the help of drugs or alcohol. Think of this as a blessing in disguise.

Well at least you're out and free, and if those damn Christians can't take a break from their screwed up "godly values" then it's their loss

Just the re-breaking of your arm was bad. Hope everything works out for you OP.
