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

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!

At Least He Did It To Your Face. My Brother Sent My Mom An E-Mail While She Was At Work!

Not Every Word Needs To Be Capitalized. Besides, maybe he sent an email because he didn't think she would accept him and it was easier to do it like that.

Exactly. But no, people jump on the "poor parenting" boat.

How is this a fml? You should be proud of your son. He was brave enough to come out to his whole family, which could have been very hard for him. And to those people who said stuff about him wearing a shirt making it embarrassing, just think how hard it would be to come out to everyone. Wearing it on a t-shirt seems like the easiest way to come out to everyone without having to explain anything. I hope your son reads this and sees how unsupportive you are.

The first time your child has sex isnt embarrassing, you child wearing a shirt that says "I got laid" to a family gathering is. this is the same situation, the kid needs to grow up and should have come out in a more acceptable way

Bad example. See, in America (where this happened), there are social rules that say you don't talk about sex with your family, and that it's not polite to let everyone know about it. In homophobic parts of America, I guess your statement works, since they don't think it's right to talk about it (or to BE gay). He didn't wear a shirt that said "Mom, I sleep with men". He just let her (and the family) know who he really is and that he falls in love with men. Letting people know you are gay should not be something considered rude or taboo.

You think sexual orientation is all about the physical action of sex don't you? Sad.
