Today, I came out to my father. He seemed to be totally okay with it, as long as I'm the "man" in my relationships. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
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
Dad jokes, part #23556
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
Follow the lifescript
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
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 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
Today, my father contacted me for the first time in years to ask about my upcoming wedding, and possibly walking me down the aisle. He claimed the only reason he left was because he thought I'd be gay. I am. FML
News to me
Today, my dad told me he liked men. While he was making a drunken speech. At my wedding. 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 noticed that my facial hair had grown by an acceptable amount. I spoke to my Dad and decided to show him, thinking he would approve of my manliness. His exact words when I showed him were, "Nah, son. You just look like a lesbian." FML
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

Gays are both bro

You're* and pitcher*
burtonbullet 10
My friend sticks only to "pitching", if you'd like it to be called that. Just because it's a male homosexual relationship, doesn't mean they play both positions.

Im sorry for my lack of intellectual capacity to know that, thank you good sir.

At least your dad didn't push you into a burning christmas tree

33- I can agree on that one. But just to ask this, who says OP is gay? What if OPs dad was talking about his relationships with women?
rodgersfan 6
35- It says he came out to his father. I believe I and most others are assuming he is coming out of the closet.
freakinglaugher 10
-35 *Fry Face Squint* Not sure if trolling... or just stupid. "Coming out" means to tell that you are gay. You just made my brain very sad.

35-OP straight up said he was coming out to his father. I'm almost positive that he's talking about being gay.

Well the pitcher may very well be the catcher... Of aids... I'm going to hell
carbar27 5
You're such a dick. I hope your girlfriend (if you somehow manage to get one who would tolerate your dickishness) gives you aids and you die. Have a great time in hell, dumb ****.

Incorrect. Usually there is a defined "bottom" and "top". (Catcher/Pitcher, Uke/Seme)

131 Are you gay? They can flip. The best part of being gay I am told
morganime 2
i wish all were both some are a little narrow minded imo if a guys not willing to trade places hes not worth it not to say that defined roles are bad if everyone is happy

I sense an error in communication.
DrMime 10
What we have here, is a failure to communicate. As you can see, there can only be one 'man': *exhibit A* 8===D

That's weird, I posted: 8===D

That was a bad comment, it got modded into nonsensical dribble...

"What we have here, is a failure to communicate."
SecretMe00 5
Ok 3 is right and 5 isn't. There wasn't a lack of communication. In a same sex relationship, there still is the one person who's more feminine and the other who is more masculine. OP's father simply wants him to be the more masculine one.
yetanotherginger 19
and yet it's nothing to do with that. OP could have written this as so:- "Today, I came out to my father and he accepted it, FML"
eurostar710 11
How is it an FML that he accepted you? Yeah he was a tad ignorant, but my dad called me a fag when I came out to him. And every time he called to talk to my sister she would ask if he wanted to talk to me (I didn't want to talk to him) and he would ask, "is he still a fag?" and she would say yeah and he would say NOPE! Consider yourself lucky.

is he a republican?

Shut up dumbass

Are you discriminative?

62, Well statistically...
2ndSucks 15
I'm sure he prefers the term "boldly conservative."
DrMime 10
What does being a republican have anything to do with gay rights? Prop eight won in was passed with about 48% of democrats and only 18% of republicans. More examples can be sited.

Hmm. Then I guess you'd be the "ass- hole!" LOL.

Patience young ass-hole. Once you can grab this pebble out of my ass, then you will truly be a m-ass-ter.

Well.....are you?

Im assuming hes not the "man" in his ships... If he was, there probably wouldn't be an fml.
ICATiger 13
Hell yeah.
Shrike 24
22- Or it's an FML cause his dad is stupid and only accepts him if he pitches? Conditional acceptance isn't acceptance.
xSonic 9
Ooooohhhhh! Shrike put yo ass on strike!

Well, shrike does do that to everyone...

Seriously. Sounds to me like the dad was joking about that bit. What's important is that he's accepting of who you are. And right off the bat too!

Yeah, he could have flipped!

Just remember you are the man!!
