Today, my step-sister told me that she was getting married to her girlfriend next summer. At a big family brunch, I made a toast to their marriage. I didn't know that my step-mom didn't know they were dating in the first place, or that she was severely homophobic. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to my fiancé's mother's funeral. His step-sister proudly announced that she's pregnant with his baby and they are engaged. 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 dad told me he has been dating my boyfriend's mom while I was away at college. They have gotten pretty serious, and are thinking about getting married. I might be dating my stepbrother. FML
Today, I found out my little sister is marrying my ex, and that my mother set them up. FML
Today, while looking through the newspaper, I saw that my sister got married a couple weeks ago. Not only did she not invite me, she "forgot" to mention it yesterday while we were having lunch. FML
Today, I discovered that my stepbrother has been telling his friends that I'm his girlfriend. FML
Today, I took my new boyfriend to my step-sister's wedding. He knew more people there than I did, including 3 bridesmaids he used to sleep with. FML
Today, I found out that my girlfriend of two years broke up with me because she wants to "become" a lesbian. I also learned that she's coming to my house for dinner tonight. My sister is her date. FML
Today, after recently celebrating our third wedding anniversary, my husband and I watched my mom and his dad say, "I do." I'm now married to my step-brother. FML
Today, I was at my girlfriend’s family dinner when her father suddenly raised a glass and said, “Let’s all raise a toast to the new couple!” I looked at my girlfriend, confused, only to realize he meant her brother and his now fiancé, who had just announced their engagement an hour earlier. I quickly but awkwardly raised my glass to avoid admitting my memory is dogshit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, somehow she would have known. Rather now, than crashing the wedding.

Well, hopefully they are happy, even without family consensus. It was still a sweet thing to do, even with that kind of backlash.

Just wait until Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson show up...

That's definitely not your fault. I hope you know that.
okokalright 15
Yeah, OP doesn't deserve so many down-votes. He/or she was just trying to be nice
Bliepje 22
it is her fault.... it is her stepmom and stepsister. How can she not know that stuff?! i think ur very disconnected with ur dad and his family (and therefore urs) if u dont know stuff like that
meli1195 31
maybe OP was already out of the house when their dad married the stepmom and that's why they don't know her that well

#106 I don't know about you but homosexuality doesn't come up in conversation in my household much

Someone should have told you their love is a big secret before this big brunch. It's not your fault; it was a sweet gesture.

Usually, with time, most parents come around. Hopefully OP's mom will be more accepting of her own daughter in the near future.

It was HIS step-sister and step-mom, so we can assume they are mother and daughter.
tantanpanda 26
Well, I guess if it was your case, OP would have said mother in law, so I'm wrong here. Thanks for sticking up for me though.

Well, she was going to find out sooner or later. It sucks you had to be the one to let it slip though.
exoticDeath 20
Not your fault she didn't mention the family doesn't know. How are you suppose to know that? FYL OP.

Good luck!, I hope it doesn't get too bad.
alex_622 22
It's ok OP. Some people just aren't as open minded. But maybe it's better that she knows now.
TheNiceOne 20
She didn't tell you to keep it in the dl? Not your fault.

I suppose that must have been a complicated and awkward situation. I do wonder how the other relatives reacted though I'm curious as to whether this marriage will still take place. I personally agree with your stepmother though I am not homophobic I disagree with homosexuality on moral grounds
PhoenixChick 26
I'm not being mean or judgmental, just nosy- what do you mean by moral grounds? The only objections I've heard are religious ones, I'm just curious if there are others. Just genuinely trying to understand the other point of view. :)

what moral grounds? homosexuality exists. It is a sexual orientation. It does not matter if you disagree with it (although what there is to disagree with I am not sure) because it exists. that's like saying you disagree with shovels. It makes no sense. By the way, when you talk about 'disagreeing with homosexuality' that is telling an entire group of people you don't tolerate them because of YOUR ideas about how they should be. That is homophobic.

if you disagree with homosexuality that makes you homophobic... you cant have your cake and eat it too, either you disagree with homosexuality and acknowledge that your homophobic or you believe in equality for same sex couples and make an effort to not be homophobic. Honestly half the time i dont give a flying **** if someone holds a shitty belief but it makes me ******* pissed when people will claim a belief then go back on it and pull some random excuse out of their ass cause they dont want backlash! "Black people just aren't as smart as white people but I'm not racist it's just my opinion uwu~" This is what you sound like... If you don't want backlash for your opinion just don't post it in the first place!

I, too, am interested to hear your "moral grounds" reasons. Please, explain why it is wrong for two consenting individuals to marry and don't use any tired religious tropes or slippery slope fallacies.

#11 There are no moral grounds for disagreeing with a naturally occurring sexual orientation. It makes about as much sense as taking a moral stance against left-handedness.

This is the most polite we've ever been to a self-professed homophobe.

11- I damn well hope it 'still takes place'. If they want to get married, nobody else and their bigoted opinions should stop them.

Side note: if you have to use the words 'I am not homophobic', it's a good sign that you are, in fact, homophobic.
