Today, I had to write an argumentative essay about the morality of homosexuality. The prompt actually uses the phrase "the dangers of homosexuality." I'm bisexual. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at college, I was frantically trying to finish an essay on gay rights that was due less than an hour later. In the end I failed, because the college internet filters kept classifying every single page containing the information I needed as "sex", and blocked it all. FML
Today, I called someone out for her brazen homophobia. She was ranting about how gays are sinners. When I mentioned that she had three children by three different men, all out of wedlock, and was currently living with her boyfriend, also considered a sin, she reported me to HR for harassment. FML
Today, I unintentionally came out as bi to my boss. He said he's fine with it and doesn't care either way, only that there is too much "gay propaganda" in the world and it shouldn't be shown and talked about so much. He also doesn't understand why I was reluctant to talk about my sexuality before. FML
Today, my friend accused me of lying about being gay. Why? I happen to ship some m/f couples in the works of fiction I follow. According to her, gay people are inherently opposed to anything heterosexual, and therefore it shouldn't be possible that I like those ships. The kicker? She herself is straight. FML
Today, hoping to seal the deal on a promotion, I had my boss over for dinner. My dad, who lives with me, started ranting about homosexuals burning in hell. My boss’s daughter is a lesbian. Now my dad’s nose is broken and I fear for my job. FML
Today, I realized the topic for my 1750-word essay could end up offending people, and I had to start all over from the beginning with a different topic. FML
Today, my mom tried to convince my dad that I was a lesbian. Why? Because she was bored. FML
Today, I was excited to get my first writing assignment since starting law school. I found out that I have to write a paper defending free speech. This wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have to defend the Westboro Baptist Church and if I weren't a former Marine. 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, while I was babysitting my nephews, the 7 year old boy walked up to me and asked if I was a lesbian. I laughed it off. An argument ensued about my sexuality for a good two hours. I lost. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You could write the dangers are the narrow minded bigotry of others.

Hard to say without seeing it for myself, but you legitimately might be able to sue the school over that to get them to take it out of the curriculum. And by that I mean your parents could...hopefully they support your bisexuality.

I agree

well just write the argumentative side. doesn't mean you have to agree. they probably just want to see you can look at the situation from both sides. I'm Christian My religion is against homosexuals but honestly for me I just don't give a s*** they're more important things in this world going on then the gender of who someone chooses to love. why people care Is beyond me. if my soulmate is a woman I'll be with that woman. It has nothing to do with being gay or bi , I've never been with a woman but if I have a deep enough connection with a woman than I'll be with that one woman

"..on then the gender of who someone chooses to love." I LOVE this comment!! When did you decide to be straight? Please tell all so that many others who are stuck with the sexuality they are born with can change their sexuality, too!! /s

if someone wishes to have a gender change then they can have one, expensive though, but I say if your gonna do it do it right, don't go to some backdoor doctor😒 why do we have to a label on anything that has to do with our gender and the gender of our lover, can you explain it to me

and when did I decide to be straight? or when did I decide to be happy with the body I was born in? I'n terms of being straight I've found that I prefer guys over girls for now but if I have a deep enough connection with a soulmate who is female and she loves me then I'll be with her. and in terms of wanting a sex change I found that I do like dressing as a man but I just call that being a tomboy I do love being a woman too though. that's just me though, can't speak for others obviously 👌👍 but it's nice that a sex change is an option now

If it’s so important to see the other side of things, then please write an argumentative essay about why it’s bad to be a Christian. Same, harmless topic, right?

what school is this? if your young and in a Christian school. you need to tell your parents. or write the essay from a second person point of view. if your parents feel this way, coming out could do more harm than good. don't forget there is support the Trevor project, PFLAG is there and gay and lesbian center near you?

I would be soooo tempted to write about the dangers of both homosexuality and heterosexuality as promoting narrow-mindedness and how the only acceptable preferences should be bi/pan or ace, because they treat everyone fairly.

That’s just as narrow minded of a viewpoint as those you’re arguing against.

That’s some actual bullshit.. you know what’s more dangerous? Well I’m sure you have an idea
