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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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, after having a long talk with my mother about LGBT rights, she told me that she was totally open. I felt completely relieved, being gay myself. Seconds later, she said, "But not for you. I want you to find me a nice girl that can give me lots of grandkids." 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, my mom told me that she heard me and my best friend in my room grunting and talking about how hard we were. She said she loved me and accepted me no matter what. Thanks mom, but we were working out. 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, 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
Today, I came out to my mom as a lesbian. She told me that it was impossible, because since she isn't one, she therefore couldn't have given birth to one. She still won't believe me. FML
Today, I found out that my mother has been telling everybody that I’m a lesbian, because both of her best friends have at least one gay child each, and she was feeling left out. This explains why people have been treating me differently the last few weeks. FML
Today, I came out to my mom. I had an epic speech planned, and when I tried to tell her, it all fell apart and I started crying and just said, "I'm gay." After a few seconds silence, my mom sighs and says, "Duh." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You better tell them lickety-split that you're not actually a lesbian.

Just imagine, how happy they will be, when you introduce them to your boyfriend some time.

I didn't mean to hit ydi. I was scrolling and it took the chance to hit the button. Sorry, eh.

At least that's better than them kicking you out because "they didn't raise you this way" or something like that.

I've actually gone through this too, just say a one word response and they'll figure out that the "talk" didn't mean that much to you and they'll figure it out

Why is it an insult for them to consider op a lesbian? I don't see how this is an FML unless she thinks this is somehow inferior. Same goes for the comment about 'they'll be so happy to find out you're not'.

Hey, be happy. There are alot kids that love the same sex or are a sex and feel they should of been born different and their parents don't sit don't and come to accepting it. A lot of GOD lol comes into play, they get abused or worse disowned. Your family actually love even if they don't really know you.

Don't be quick to generalize people who believe in God. I'm a practicing Muslim and believe in God, but I'm secretary of a Gay Straight Alliance at my school. I think I'm bicurious, but not sure. People don't expect it from me since I'm traditional in many ways, but I always like to educate others on political correctness and answer their questions. One can follow God and still respect others' humanity.

At least you have supportive parents that will support you no matter what. I am bisexual and my parents are anti-gay and would kill me if I told them.

I have a similar situation. I have only ever dated guys, but I am sometimes sexually attracted to women, as well. I'm confused a bit, I guess. Bicurious maybe? But my dad is super homophobic and offensive to the LGBT+ community. And how ironic is it that I'm the secretary of my school's GSA and they don't know.

I'm curious as to what led them to assume you were a lesbian?

That was nice of them, to let you know they love you and support you whatever your life choices. This happened to a best friend of mine too, whose parents assumed she was lesbian. Don't worry about it, just be yourself and know you're loved!
