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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally got to meet my boyfriend's parents; it turns out that his mum is my therapist. I've just spent an entire morning telling her how confused I am about my sexuality. 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, 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
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 finally decided to introduce my boyfriend to my parents. Surprisingly, he and my father already knew each other, so I asked him how they met. Now I know where my boyfriend gets all his weed. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to tell my parents that I'm gay. My mom said "Yeah, we know." When I asked how they knew, my dad, without looking up from the tv, said, "We've been monitoring your Internet history." 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, 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 found out that my parents have thought I'm lesbian for at least a year. I now understand why my dad has been trying to get me to "hang out" with his co-worker's daughter. FML
Today, my boyfriend met my dad for the first time. The first thing he said to him was, "You're an idiot for dating my daughter." FML

I'm going to be optimistic and hope that even if you had introduced a girlfriend he would've been happy for you. And that him thinking you were gay, wasn't in a insulting or mocking manner. That he was just waiting for you to 'come out', and he would've been accepting either way. I can dream can't I. Nothing wrong with being gay, and nothing wrong with being straight. you be you. And isn't it the dad's job to embarrass their daughters in front of their boyfriend? At least that's what movies and tv has lead me to believe.

That could have been soooo much worse. When I met my first girlfriends parents, her dad was sitting at the table cleaning his guns and my name was ‘boy’.

I never introduced anyone to my parents until it was the woman I have since married. I was dating her when my mum said to me "if you are gay it does not matter". There had been a few girlfriends before but I never felt I was involved enough to introduce them to my parents.

Sounds like you two are close. I remember I'd tell my parents about women I was dating even before I was ready to introduce them. Of course, my parents lived over a thousand miles away, so a meeting was a big deal.
