Today, I went to my friend's house to give him some moral support as he came out of the closet to his family. I left with a black eye. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was at the gym when I saw one of my friends at the water fountain. I went over and gave him a man ass slap while he was drinking. It wasn't my friend. I now have a black eye. FML
Today, I got a black eye while trying to break up a fight caused by some complete bastard making a "yo momma" joke at the funeral of my best friend's mother. FML
Today, someone very close to me came out of the closet. Normally I would fully support them, had we not just gotten married. FML
Today, I accidentally gave myself a black eye. I would laugh about it if my friends didn't start suspecting that my husband is abusing me, and won't listen when I try to explain what really happened. FML
Today, at a party, I watched the guy I've liked for AGES come out of a bedroom with one of my gay male friends. They were in there for a while. FML
Today, my husband, who I love more than anything, announced that he was gay, couldn't live a lie anymore, and moved out of the house. I'm utterly devastated, and when I tried to cry to my friends, they said I should celebrate his courage and stop being selfish, then ran off to party with him. 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
Today, I came out of the closet, after years of fear and shame, thanks to my mom making me to go to a church full of fundies my whole life. In the end, I was in tears. All I got was a frown and a "So? Want a medal or something?" FML
Today, my brother‘s will read that everything would go to our other brother, so long as he punched me for having an affair with my his wife. So now I have a black eye. I’m gay, but I've never told my family. I didn't have an affair with his wife. 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

It's a sad day when you get a black eye for being a decent human being.

Maybe you got the wrong idea or family and he wasn't really coming out of the closet

You're the wrong person at the wrong place giving the wrong sort of support in a home that's not yours. You got away with little because your support has just given him even more problems

It could have been a family member not the gay friend

I am interpreting this as someone in his friend's family punching OP and not his friend. In that case it's sort of predictable in a fashion. It's easier for parents to "blame" OP for his friend's coming out than to "blame" their own son. Not that there is any real blame since The friend did nothing wrong in being honest with his family. But sadly in many circles being gay is still considered "wrong" and when something is "wrong" then "somebody is to blame". Except when there is a real threat of violence, very personal messages within the family need to be within the family. Otherwise, the "outsider" is liable to either get "blamed" or become a unnecessary complication when very personal matters are discussed.

How'd you get the black eye? Did someone hit you or did you just run into something?
