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!

Your son took a lot of balls to do something like this, and at a family reunion, even. You should be proud of him for his decision. If your family doesn't agree, that's their problem, not yours. They need to learn to be more open-minded. If you don't agree, then there's still time for you to understand his lifestyle, rather than outright reject him. He's your son. Him being gay doesn't change that fact.

For all you people poo-pooing the OP, the FML is not in the fact that her son is gay, but in the tactless way that he announced it. He didn't think it was appropriate to tell his own mother before everyone else? That seems extremely inconsiderate and disrespectful, but maybe that's just me. And I personally think any shirt that makes a comment about the wearer's sexual preferences is inappropriate for any situation and would be mortified if a child of mine came to a family gathering wearing one - gay or straight. Those things are just tacky.

I'm sorry to hear that you are such a bigoted asshole. Actually I'm more sorry for the human race, because we need to put up with you and listen to you try to force your barbaric, old-fashioned, moronic, fear-based opinions on us. Homophobic assholes like you disgust me

YAY for real life trolls! and if he was being serious......BEST WAY TO COME OUT EVER! How much fun is it to tell the whole world you're gay AND piss off everyone in your family at the same time?!?

So, your son came out. Where's the FML in this story? Nothing wrong with him being gay. Go ahead and disown him, put him out of your life. You'll be the one missing out later, you'll see.
