Today, a "friend" of mine told everyone that I had a crush on a girl I used to be really good friends with 2 years ago. I never liked her that way, and had said that only to hide the fact that I'm gay and don't feel safe with boys. Her current boyfriend is seriously annoyed with me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out the reason my crush has been talking so openly to me. Not because she likes me back, but because she thinks I'm gay. FML
Today, as I recently starting having a huge crush on this one guy, my friend told me she told him about the crush, and that he reacted positively. I made a move, only to find out he has a partner. I've tried distancing myself to get over him but he befriended all my friends and is now in our group chat, and the crush has only intensified. FML
Today, I found out that my crush is a lesbian. Everyone knew about it. Everyone also knew that I liked her. No one told me. FML
Today, the friend who I'm crushing on but doesn't like me like that back said she wants us to keep our distance AND got angry because I told her I joined a dating app. Now she thinks I lied about my feelings. FML
Today, my best friend who I have been secretly in love with forever, was ranting about her ex-girlfriend. Then she said : "If only you were gay, we'd be perfect for each other." I took the chance to tell her I was. She responded : "Well, I'm still not attracted to you though." FML
Today, I told a bunch of my friends that I have a crush on this one girl. They all said it's definitely one-sided and I have no chance. FML
Today, a female friend of mine keeps telling people we’re dating. No matter how many times I told her I'm gay and only attracted to men, she won’t take that for an answer. She’s actually arranged for me to meet her parents next weekend. FML
Today, I found out that my best friend and the guy I had a crush on for 2 years are getting married. The worst part is that they've been dating for 2 years in secret, and just came out about it now. I've been telling her for 2 years how much I like him, and she's encouraged me the whole time. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to tell the girl I like how I really feel about her, due in no small part to how flirty she's been towards me lately. Turns out she's really just a skank and was trying to make my best friend "jealous". He's gay. FML
Today, my friend isn't speaking to me since I came out to her. Not because she's a homophobe, but because she's mortally offended that I didn't confess my love in the process. Seems that everyone who's attracted to women should be attracted to her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

you need to have a talk with her boyfriend AND her. also dump your "friend", because he/she isn't a friend if they put you in this situation

That friendship needs to be reevaluated cause that was messed up. I understand why you wanna keep your sexuality on the low but maybe be who you are. Not saying you have to come out, but if you believe someone would harm you for your sexuality, maybe distance yourself from them as well.

Not sure these people are your friends. If you can't be out with them it shows a lack of trust and respect

No one has to be out if they don’t want to it’s absolutely up to the person to make that decision. If OP feels they aren’t safe to come out then they don’t need to, clearly with the “friends” they have OP might’ve been outed.

Idk what’s wrong with some of the comments on this telling OP to come out and being who they are around “friends” but no one has to come out of the closet if they don’t want to. Sorry that happened to you OP and if you can’t explain your situation to the girl and her boyfriend, distance yourself from them and try to move on. As for that “friend” of yours maybe reevaluate the friendship and see if they’re really worth keeping as friend. Especially if they caused this much trouble for you.

It's a shame that in modern times, people still don't feel safe "coming out." My friend of 5 years has been slowly but surely revealing her true sexuality and so far she has recieved tremendous support and encouragement. I could understand a bf being annoyed thinking you have a crush on his gf, but all that can be worked out if you even care about what he thinks. Be yourself.

I I think it's a shame that people have to "come out". A person's sexuality is nobody's damn business.

very true, and to each their own...but why would you want to live in fear and denial?
