Today, my dad gave me a speech about being gay. He said he'll accept me if that's who I truly am, but he wants me to think it over first. I'm an actor in a play. I had to explain the concept of wearing costumes and acting like someone else to him. For the third time. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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
Today, my dad has “accepted” that I’m a lesbian, but can’t seem to understand why I can’t just ignore that part of myself, marry a man and have kids, and never talk about the "lesbian thing" ever again. FML
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 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, after weeks of thinking and playing every outcome possible in my head, I told my parents I'm gay. My dad nodded and didn't even look up from his book; my mom told me to go to the doctor if it starts to itch. 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, my dad seemed moody, so to lift his spirits, I told him I loved him. He just snorted, "You gay or something, boy?" Really mature, dad, really mature. FML
Today, I came out to my mom. I had an epic speech planned, and when I tried to tell her, it all fell apart and I started crying and just said, "I'm gay." After a few seconds silence, my mom sighs and says, "Duh." FML
Today, my mom called me into the living room to say that she had something important to tell me. She then explained how she and my dad had "talked things over" and wanted me to know that they accept me and love me no matter what. Apparently my mom thinks I'm lesbian. I'm not. FML
Today, I finally came out to my dad, who is a priest, as gay. He responded by splashing me with holy water to "banish the demon within" me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

at least he accepts it if you were gay...I mean even though you're not, some kids get kicked out of their houses for being gay

Give him some time, he needs to process what you said all three times.

being in a play isn't gay. I've been in several plays/musicals and I'm not gay. in fact I actually met a girl I used to date at practices

I'm wondering if the OP meant that his character is gay in the play he's in.

yeah that would be different

What play is it? Maybe this is why he is concerned.

Oh my living Christ Doc, reading this level of miscomprehension makes me want to stick red-hot needles in my eyes.

I am such a grammar nerd but I couldn't actually focus on this post because of 'an speech' it's A SPEECH. @.o Welp, I'm insane. Still, that's pretty awful OP, maybe your dad was joking? ... After the first explanation perhaps?

Well, that's nice to know that he'll still love you after you come out of the closet to yourself. Father knows best!

You should be thanking your dad. Ya he doesn't get the acting thing and costumes and such but he DOES get that he loves you and accepts you no matter what and is not afraid to say it. That's huge.
