Today, my grandfather found my diary laying in the living room, and for some reason thought it was an interesting reading material. Oh well, he found out that I'm a lesbian, then panicked and basically outed me to my entire family. I really hope they have reservations in Hell. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad found and read my diary. Most of the entries were about how my father didn't respect my privacy. Then he phoned my aunt and read her passages from it. FML
Today, I came out to my parents as lesbian. Surprisingly, they were OK with it… just as long as I still marry a dude, give them grandbabies, and keep the whole lesbian thing a deep, dark, shameful secret that we never talk about again. FML
Today, I finally decided to tell my parents I was a lesbian. They spent the next few hours reading me the bible. FML
Today, I came out as lesbian and introduced my new girlfriend to my family. My mom angrily told me that I should have waited until my grandparents had died before coming out, and that I was "extremely disrespectful" for making this announcement. I honestly thought everyone would be fine with it. FML
Today, I found my long lost diary and curiously read it. What's worse than finding out that your mother read your diary? Finding out that your mother wrote comments in it. FML
Today, I came out to my therapist as gay. Claiming that my parents "can't be that homophobic", my therapist outed me to them. They kicked me out of the house. 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 finally came out to my family as a lesbian. My grandma then told me I'm just going through a phase because I finally realized I'm not pretty or skinny enough to 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, my friend, who is gay, announced that he's getting married. I implored him to not invite my parents and (especially) my grandma, for reasons that I'm sure you can figure out, but he did anyway. Long story short, he's inconsolable. What excellent parents I have. FML

Clearly he shouldn’t have read it, but why would you leave your diary in the living room?

Why did you leave a book with such confidential material just laying in a room used by the whole family?

Don't worry -- you won't go to hell for being a lesbian.

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
Of course not. It’s full up with non binary androgynous bicurious demiromantic Spanish Hermaphrodites

And soon enough there will be lots of residents whose horns will be concealed by their MAGA hats.

Apparently my comment about hell being full went against policy. Being from the UK I sometimes forget some people, Americans in particular, don’t get sarcasm. The point I was making, poorly as it turns out, that she couldn’t go to hell because the increasing number of right wing bigots have already filled it up with everyone who fails to conform to the male-female only stereotype. If I offended anyone I apologise.

I won’t jump to assumptions here I guess. But did he say anything negative? It sucks he outed you but hopefully there was no ill will behind it.

I'm willing to hazard a guess that if he saw fit to out her to her family there was nothing but ill will behind it.

I mean unless he didn’t realize it was a secret.

That reservation would be for Grandpa who can't keep his nose out of a private book. To hell with those that don't support you ...

If someone leaves a fiction book in the communal room, do you pick it up and read it? No? Then why wouldn’t you apply that same logic to a diary?
