Today, I introduced my new boyfriend to my parents. Everyone knows he's into the emo scene, but this didn't stop my dad from slowly looking him up and down, then saying, completely deadpan, "You never told us you were a lesbian, honey." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally let my parents meet a boyfriend of mine for the first time ever. My dad mentioned how he was happy to finally meet him, because for the past 4 years he'd thought I was gay. FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my family for the first time. My mother's immediate reaction was, "We didn't know you were gay!" No mom, she really is a girl. FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents. My mother turned to me and said, "Wait you're actually gay? I thought you were just saying that to piss off your father." I came out to her when I was 16, and have confided in her about my past relationships. FML
Today, after dating for almost a year, I decided to introduce my parents to the man I was sure I'd fallen in love with. When dad saw him, his and my boyfriend's face completely dropped. I asked them what was wrong because I could feel the discomfort. Turns out, I'm dating my dad's drug dealer. FML
Today, I decided to introduce my girlfriend to my parents by telling them that we were gonna have a very special guest for dinner. While my mom was preparing the meal she asked, "What does he like?" I'm straight. My parents thought different. FML
Today, I introduced my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. My dad took one look at him, sighed and said, "You deserve someone better. Someone who is responsible, and has their priorities straight in life." Beyond upset, I told my dad that I love him. My dad disgruntledly responded, "I was talking to him." FML
Today, I came out to my parents. They nodded empathetically throughout my entire speech and told me repeatedly that it was okay. As I smiled and stood up, my dad asked, "But you're still going to marry a guy, right?" FML
Today, I finally invited my girlfriend over to meet my oddball parents. The first words out of my dad's mouth were, "So, you're the silly girl who agreed to date my dickhead son." It went downhill from there. FML
Today, my dad's face flushed when I introduced him to my new boyfriend. I live in a small town, and it turns out my dad recognized him. He's the secret child from an affair two decades ago. He's my half-brother. FML
Today, I came out to my parents as lesbian. Surprisingly, they were OK with it… just as long as I still marry a dude, give them grandbabies, and keep the whole lesbian thing a deep, dark, shameful secret that we never talk about again. FML

Your dad is awesome.
DeviousAngel 13
Agreed, daddy's clever. However, I feel bad for the boyfriend.
xSynergY 8
OP, your dad must be so proud of you! ........
Keyman1212 14
I wouldn't feel bad at all.
Llama_Face89 34
OP's dad is my hero. Guys were never meant to wear skinny jeans and makeup. It's unnatural and unpleasant. Throw on a pair of Tripps and call it a day. They're actually comfortable and leave you with you ability to reproduce intact...
DeviousAngel 13
43 pretty much said what I was going to say. :)
ripgeorgecarl1n 7
Damn, people here really like to hate on gothness. Here in Berkeley, Cali, it's really not a big deal.
ThreeSheetsGone 12
To each his own. I'll promise not to make fun of your skinny jeans if you promise not to make fun of my pearl snap shirts and cowboy boots.

Aww.. Tell your dad to go easy on her!

Well alot of preps are douchbags
brandnewkey 14
I love you dad.
ripgeorgecarl1n 7
43- Honestly, I've neither met , nor heard of, a gay emo. Society just relates the stigma of being goth to the stigma of homosexuality, and combines the two into one.
fuzz97 23
Yes you can.
ripgeorgecarl1n 7
^you wana edit that?
enonymous 9
If I was a girl I'd never date a goth. All your eyeliner, nail polish, and eye shadow wouldn't last a week with him around
koolkat27 13
well, emos are pretty much girls with all the makeup and nail polish shit they wear. it's not exactly attractive. :/
awagh666 14
OP your dad wants you to date a real man and not a pussy. For real men, take a look at enonymous' pic. ( might have a blond dyed hairy anus though)

@125 Sorry, i think i'm missing something here. How does being an 'emo' make you a pussy? That's a pretty big generalisation jackass.
james_aka_frosty 3
To everyone that appears to be interchanging the words goth and emo THEY ARE NOT THE SAME!
victoria_truth 1
Right...but to the objective eye, or someone with an eye of fashion, it is all a bad look for guys and they should just not do it. Not saying anything about the way they are, just the way they choose to present themselves, which is pretty lame.
v4extreme 6
Geez, so many closed minded assholes on this fml. -.- smh
chefmark02 1
I 2nd that! Anyone has the right to express themselves however they want. If woman can wear pants and shorts, then why can a guy not were make up?
xStaciexLynnx 15
Nobody put emo with gay except for you guys who are "defending" it. The dad asked the daughter if she was a lesbian. That would imply that the emo boyfriend is a girl, not gay. If he had said "Honey, you never told us your bf is gay." then he'd be calling the emo boy gay.
Jammy01jams 2
To all the people saying that you would feel bad if you were being made fun of for the way they dress. That is the point. If people laughed at the way I dressed everywhere I went, id stop dressing that way!
Ex_Press 0
ITT: people presenting their opinions as fact. Other people disagree. Move on. For reference, "I think that, because this person dresses this way, they are a pussy" is shoddy logic, at best. So is "I like/dislike this, so other people who differ are wrong". TL/DR: Get over yourselves. Just because YOU agree with you doesn't mean everyone else should.

If you dress to associate yourself with a certain culture, you're signing up to be stereotyped. Negatively and positively. If you see someone wearing a swastica and have a shaved head, are you "not going to judge"?
CoolStoryScrote 6
You seem to have a problem differentiating between emo and goth and group them into the same thing. Let me break it down for you. Goth=original. Emo=shitty rip-off of goth, metal, punk, and hipster.
Llama_Face89 34
211- I agree wholeheartedly.
Llama_Face89 34
100- HEY! goth and emo are completely different looks thank you very much!
Llama_Face89 34
210 & 233- No self respecting guy should ever wear that shit. If you're into guys that are more feminine than you are that's an issue. Seek help.

Just jelous cause you probably dont look good in tight pants haha

I'm only "defending the emos" because sometimes I enjoy their music on Pandora.
hutch66 13
Honestly, I have nothing against Emo/goth people. Most of them are just rebellious teenagers who are going through a phase. I do think you look ridiculous if you dress like that, but its your decision not mine so I will leave you alone either way.
ThePopularLoner 0
actually, I'm not sure about tht, the vibe I get from emo scene is a kid who is the perfect balance between gay n goth oh and sometimes 1/3 stripper? xD idk but it maybe cute what they wear, but being emo or scene is not the best label to be under life or personality wise D: just an opinion :I
elementalz 2
Preps aren't deuschbags? Holy shit I had no clue! Hmm let's see: Preps=deuschbags Skaters=drugees Emo= gay/bi Nerds=smart never getting laid Can any1 else think of anything else?

Hey 73, grow the **** up and don't assume you know someone because of the bands they like. That is all.

Did your boyfriend go home and right a whiny song about it?
Cmdr_Shepard 17
He probably went home and listened to Linkin Park while ranting on the internet about unfair life is.

Wow, I did say "right" instead of "write", my bad. Well I got more drinking to do and I'm sure you have to get back to editing FML comments. Good day.

19, Emos/Scenes don't listen to Linkin Park. Where did you hear that from? They listen to ____core.
imcutefml 0
64 is right somewhat most of them listen to trivium slayer behemoth shadows fall slipknot atreyu stuff along those lines....
FYLDeep 26
How are you that wrong? Metalheads would be listening to Slayer or Behemoth. Shadows Fall and Atreyu fit the metalcore label. Slipknot is nu-metal, and Trivium just sucks. None of those bands are emo. Emo people listen to bands like Tokio Hotel and stuff. Then you've got scene kids listening to really ******* bad stuff like BrokeNCYDE and Blood on the Dance Floor. (That's not all scene kids though. Some listen to bands like Bring Me the Horizon or Job for a Cowboy, which aren't terrible.)
hiyourcute 0
I like how 75 tried to get emo cred by namedropping "hard core" bands and then 91 totally shut her down.
DawnsPlague 0
75 is wrong, 91 is right. And, the only reason I put ____core is because they listen to a wide variety of music in the "Core" category. Some like post-hardcore and metalcore, crunkcore and nintendocore (lol), and the ones that like the brutal stuff like deathcore or grindcore. And then you have the ones that like Tokio Hotel, Black Veil Brides and BrokeNCYDE. Scenes usually follow the scene looking bands, while emos.. Well, they just enjoy their music, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Im an emo kid, nonconforming as can be, youd be nonconforming too if you looked just like me. Ive got paint on my nails and make up on my face, im almost emo enough to start shaveing my legs!!

What? I love linkin park, and I'm as far away from emo as can be -_-
Snowstar 0
64- Thank you for setting that straight. Linkin Park is one of my favorite bands of all time. 8D
k34nu 7
HEY HEY.. Linkin park isn't for just for Emos... their new stuff sucks but old stuff is still good. Pick on Madina lake.
Llama_Face89 34
186- Well their music is kinda emo. Dont get me wrong, i love Linkin Park as well (Hybrid Thoery and Meteora, not big on the others) but moste of their songs are pretty emo. Don't have to be an emo kid to listen to that type of music. Except Green Day. **** Green Day.
sleepydeath 4
Once again if you use fml don't start hating on emos or any type of music XD
Llama_Face89 34
298- why not? I've yet to see it in the rules or whatever.

We don't listen to whinny songs asshole
Lichinamo 33
@91: I'm only commenting on this because you mentioneed one of my favorite bands, Blood On The Dance Floor. It's an amazing band and I appreciate them for their music. Most of my friends do not like them. I refuse to label myself because I'm not Emo or Goth or anything like that, I'm just... me.
elgordogrande1 11
Over a year late to this, but emo can be pretty cool, especially the fourth wave stuff like Old Gray, Dads, and The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die. Linkin Park is nowhere close to being remotely emo. Emo can be slow and melodic or closer to hardcore but usually it's pretty good. and most emo kids don't cut themselves. And to the person above me, BOTDF is absolute crap and the singer is a horrible person and a pedophile. Last year at warped I had to endure their set so I could see Taking Back Sunday immediately after and most of the crowd booed when they came on. Their music was trash.

Emo is a type of music, actually. And the majority of it sounds pretty friggin great. Not gross at all.
