Today, my son decided to come out of the closet by wearing a shirt that said "Mom, I'm gay" to the family reunion. FML

Today, I came out of the closet. Now whenever I'm getting ready to go somewhere with my dad he says, "Lesgo, lesbo." FML

Today, I found out that my son has been telling me he's gay so we would allow the "female friend" who is actually his girlfriend to stay over. FML

Who does that?
Today, my son got angry when he came out as gay and my husband and I told him that we loved him no matter what. Turned out he wanted us to reject him so he could have a sob story and make people feel sorry for him. 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

Today, I found out that my son is not really gay. He just told me that so I'd let him have girls in his bedroom. 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 family as being gay. My mother starting crying because she "wanted grandchildren." I told her that I was planning on having children. She started crying harder. FML

Today, I came out to my parents. I don't really fit any stereotype, I'm just an average guy who happens to be into guys. Ten minutes later, I overheard my mother say to my step-dad, "Should we redecorate his room pink?" FML
Gay younger brother
About that...
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 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

So not an FML, just accept your son for who he is, and kudos to him for being brave enough to come out to the entire family!

haha, that's actually pretty funny. and there's nothing wrong with being gay, so shut up OP. this isn't a fml at all.

You know what,not Fyl.Instead try f*** your parental skills! Maybe if you would talk to your son more he might've felt better to come out face to face.Yes,faimly reunion is a bad place to wear that shirt but at least he came out in the first place.

hey that's just funny plus he's secure enough with his sexuality to reveal it to the entire family. that is unless veryone already knew besides you

Well thats original of him. Now there's no beating around the bush wondering if he is gay or not.

I love how people think that the son is intentionally trying to embarass his mother by coming out at a family reunion. If he wanted to embarass his mom he'd wear a shirt that had a picture of him making out with another dude, or with a knob in his mouth. And #55 he was obviously intending to come out to his whole family, since maybe, oh I dunno, he wore the shirt at a family reuinion? ******* idiot.

WTF?? Celebrate?? It's the same as getting into Yale?? You have got to be kidding me!! If my kids had ever pulled some ******-up shit like that- I would have wrapped that shirt around their neck and pulled-hard! What a little attention seeking bitch! And- No, finding out your kid is gay is Not a proud moment. Maybe it could be accepted after you get used to the idea, but I'm pretty damn sure no parent looks at their little newborn baby and thinks, " Awww, I hope the baby grows up to be gay..." And No- Im not a homophobe- just a realist. OP- Sorry your son did that to you.

If I had a gay child I wouldn't mind it at all :/ He/she could talk to me openly about it and I'd make sure they let no one ever put them down

I actually know several people who are hoping that they have gay children.

after reading through all the commets they're exactly what i expected. Some people are vehemently opposed to the fact that the kid came out at the reunion, and some are excited that the kid had balls. i think in my opinion it was a combination of both fear and balls. he was afraid that if he did it in a closed area that his parents would disown him, and he figured he may as well get it over with the whole family. I don't think this is necessarily a FML for the fact that he's gay, i believe it's a FML that he chose to do it like that, while it is funny, if he's legit there would have been a better way of going about it. i mean what if his grandmother dropped dead from the shock???? that would have sucked... I hope you learn to love your son for what he is, while he needs to learn a little sensitivity on his part.
