Today, my mom asked me, once again, if my girlfriend of almost a year is just a cover up for being gay. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, my girlfriend's mother insisted she's not homophobic, but however people only 'turn gay' because they were sexually abused, or are 'making it up to get attention'. She informed me I'm the former and my girlfriend is the latter. Uh huh. FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my family for the first time. My mother's immediate reaction was, "We didn't know you were gay!" No mom, she really is a girl. 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 mom asked if I was seeing anyone. I launched into a description of my girlfriend, only for her to interrupt, saying that she meant a therapist, and the fact that I'd just made up a relationship was further proof that I needed one. I really do have a girlfriend. FML
Today, my mother urged me to "get over this lesbian thing and give me some grandkids." In front of my girlfriend of eleven months. FML
Today, I finally thought that my mother was okay with me being a lesbian. Then, over dinner, she turns to me and says, "So, do you still think you like girls, or are you going to start being normal again?" FML
Today, I told my mom that I’m a lesbian. She was fine with it, supported me 100%, and it was a huge relief, until she followed up with, “Until you find a husband, then you’ll obviously have to stop all that.” The reason I even told her is because my girlfriend just proposed to me, and we’re engaged. 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, my mom tried to convince my dad that I was a lesbian. Why? Because she was bored. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well all the gay **** in your internet history probably isn't helping your case.

Over a year you say? A likely story

Play along and let it go over your head! Don't give her the satisfaction of a reaction when she asks you and she will soon get bored of doing it. You just focus on having a great time with your gf :)

I guess the only thing left to do is to prove your heterosexuality. And by prove, I mean have sex. With the girlfriend, of course.

Actually, you'd be surprised... One of my friends married a woman and stayed with her for 5 years to cover that he was gay. He finally divorced her, but not after ruining her life and having 2 kids together. Not saying you're like that, OP, just saying it happens. Sorry your mom doesn't understand you or your relationships.

I know a lot of gay men. They've all had girlfriends (many had serious ones) early on in life until. . . One gay friend of mine said his parents knew he was gay long before he did.

i imagine its because it is still an odd thing to be gay expect now most people are super groovey and fake positive about it, which is actually more annoying. it will be a hell of a lot easier for gay people when people just dont give a shit.

Same is true of gay women. I am in a small town where homosexuality is seen as weird... So I had a lot of boyfriends before I accepted my sexuality trying to make myself straight.

We won't judge you. You can spill the beans here. Tell us the truth OP. We are waiting for it.

You should both sit down and have a chat just to set things straight. Hopefully then she will see your relationship is sincere and she will stop asking you.

do u dress really well? if so, u may have to explain what metro is :)
Dynosaur_dollie 38
metro is a newspaper in my city... I am not sure what explaining a newspaper would do. maybe just hand her one? easier than explaining...

OP, having a girlfriend who is the splitting image of Chaz Bono doesn't quite help you plead your case buddy!

Well, as long as it's not your girlfriend who's asking...
