Today, my co-worker told me how "lucky" I am that I "chose" to be a lesbian, because I don't have to deal with "guy drama". I spent two years of my adolescence sleeping at a bus stop and begging strangers for money after I got kicked out of home. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, when I came out to my family, my mom told me in all seriousness she’d rather me be a prostitute than a lesbian. She added, “At least prostitutes have sex with men.” When I pointed out that lesbians can also be prostitutes, she kicked me out of the house. She’s changed the locks. FML
Today, I found out that my entire school differentiates me from another girl in my grade with the same name by saying, "No, she's the lesbian one." I'm straight. FML
Today, my sister came out as lesbian and my parents kicked her out of the house. I was also kicked out for supporting her. FML
Today, I found out that my mother has been telling everybody that I’m a lesbian, because both of her best friends have at least one gay child each, and she was feeling left out. This explains why people have been treating me differently the last few weeks. FML
Today, I decided to break up with my girlfriend after I got home and realised I was happier sat in my car on the street than I would be if I went inside and had to put up with her whining and her two spoiled daughters for even one more day. So now I’m happy, but also homeless. FML
Today, after being out of the closet for over three years, I learned that some of my friends still don't believe me that I am really a lesbian. They still think I made the whole thing up because I can't get a man. 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, I learned that the girl who severely bullied me in highschool for being a lesbian just came out as a lesbian. FML
Today, I found out my mom had been telling everyone how independent I was and just wanted to be left alone. I was homeless when I graduated valedictorian from high school and wondering why no one would let me stay with them, even when it was snowing. Now I know. FML
Today, I confessed to my boyfriend that many years before we met, I once slept with a guy in my college for $500 just so I could avoid becoming homeless before my next student loan kicked in. He dumped me because he “doesn’t date whores”. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

For some people, their knowledge of the LGBT community doesn't extend past pornos and shitty movies. But I'm glad you've bettered your life, OP.

Les be honest, people who think that one's sexuality is a choice are assholes.

If you don't understand the fact her parents didn't accept her for who she is then kicked her out, well.

if her Co worker would have said you're so lucky you are lesbian you have such a better life then it would be related but her Co worker doesn't know her situation therefore she isn't in the wrong. Her choosing the word "chose " isnt bad either because she did choose. she didn't choose her sexuality but she chose to come out and live with it instead of staying in the closet or going straight to please her parents . Everyone wants people to be so accepting of these ways but you make it hard when you take things as simple as this comment to heart. Down vote all you want but look at the bigger picture. You're really angry at your parents in which you should be not your Co worker.

"Going straight"? Are you serious? I don't think they're wrong to expect people to be tolerant. Everyone deserves respect, regardless of their personal choices.

#36, you're exactly right. She should have lied and suppressed her sexuality to appease her parents. I am being sarcastic.

I didn't say it in a way to say that she should have stayed in the closet or appeased her parent by being straight. I applaud her for doing so. point was her Co worker did nothing wrong.

Nobody said her coworker was 'wrong', it's just that she was painfully ignorant and made some horribly insensitive comments. You can't defend her words, but she probably didn't intend it to be so hurtful.

Everybody Deserves respect regardless of their personal choices? "Oh that drunk driver that just killed a whole family deserves respect because he made a personal choice." How about her parents deserve respect after kicking her out because that was their personal choice.. Actions dictate what people deserve. If I hire someone to mow my yard and they don't show up so I hire somebody else, when that person is done mowing I don't pay both nor do I respect both because one didn't do what I personally felt that he should.. I respect and pay the one who made the personal choices that cause them to deserve pay... That is a large factor in the mindset of entitlement.. Which is absurd...

#36 You don't just "[go] straight to please her parents." It's not a life decision it's something you are born with.
SweetSociopathy 24
By personal choices, I was referring to their private life - who they choose to sleep with, whether or not they want kids, etc. Perhaps I should have used a different word than 'choice' but I was referring to more than sexuality.

As someone who has had their family torn apart by a drunk driver, I couldn't agree more with 67. Respect is something your earn, not given.

#36 is right. No one gives a shit if you're gay. You are attracted to who ever you are attracted to. But you can't make people except it. Hate when people try to force someone to be ok with it.

They are so lucky they chose to be straight

Dude... Your stupid makes my head hurt. Not only are you ignorant, you threw in a whole 'nother political hot topic. That is next level shit.
DocBastard 40
Which hard choice are you referring to? Choosing to be a lesbian? Choosing for her parents to be intolerant? Choosing to get kicked out of her home? I choose to think you're a clueless twit. But that's just my choice.

although some people choose this life style the majority do not. If you haven't noticed the ones who "choose" it usually go back to being straight. her parents are idiots and shouldn't have had children if they weren't ready to accept her with all that she came with. Sad world we live in.
JustinJK 21
I don't know any legitimately gay people who have or will ever "go back". such as myself. I've always been gay and always will be. my 52 year old uncle hasn't magically become straight with age.
ItsDutch 16
The ones who "choose" it, then go back to being straight do it for attention.

People can be so ignorant sometimes, but keep up the good work, OP! :)

Ask her if she chose to be stupid.

Did you let your coworker know how ignorant they are? Noone can choose how they feel towards another person it just happens.. you are brave for coming out to your family and for loving who you were born to love. Happy you have a job now!
