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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Same thing different taste
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
Denial
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
Supportive
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
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!

okay. im going to start out by saying i am actually a bisexual teenage boy myself. I just came out about a month ago. Ijust said 'mom im gay'. She's says 'okay' and turns the television back up like nothing happened. That is what a persons reaction should be (and it was) in a perfect equal world. But we aren't to the point where we all can disclose our orientation without it being awkward. Yet we can talk about how guys are cute, and which girls have nice boobs. Why isnt the 'i heart boobs' t-shirt all over fml? As for why he did it with a shirt I actually might have an idea as to why. I think he both wanted to get it over with, and see who truly loved him. Onto the argument that it is like talking about sex. Well if your married thats not related to sex (by normal conversation standards), if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend its not related (both of these show your orientation and are acceptable in conversations), so why not be able to wear a shirt that relates to it. It is all essentially the same. He was just disclosing who he would fall in love with. As for the mom, I do get the sense that you are a homophobe, and that needs to stop right now. If you are homophobic because of religion, remember we all get judged in the end, and therefore there is no reason to judge now. And if you say 'well i dont want him to go to hell' god is a forgiving being and you are supposed to 'love thy neighbor' so you should also love your family. Peace out people.

my brother had this problem when he came out and in the end he thought it was best just to come out and say it without trying to make it too flowery or like your appoligizing for something what he ended up saying was "mom, dad, im gay and i know you may not agree but its not something i chose its how i was born and I hope you are ok with it because i love you both and i dont want this to hurt you but if not then im sorry but its not something that will change."

I'm glad your son came out and decided to be himself in front of the family, but he could have told you privately or in a not-so-blatant manner. I agree with the commenter who said it's sort of like wearing a t-shirt that says, "Mom, I'm sexually active." We don't need to know what his sexual preference is, but he could tell you in a conversation if it came up or if he really wanted to tell you anyway. But to announce it in such a fashion in front of the whole family is... a little odd and unnecessary. However, I'm glad he did come out in any case, and this should NOT be a 'FML.' How is YOUR life ******, OP? Think about your son for once in your life! Stop being so selfish. Consider what he's going to go through now that he's out! He's going to have a lot of people giving him a hard time to his face and behind his back, and he shouldn't have to worry about his own parents' reactions!!
