Today, my brother came out to our family as being gay. My mother starting crying because she "wanted grandchildren." I told her that I was planning on having children. She started crying harder. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my brother came out to our parents. They weren't super happy with it, but they said that it was ok since they still had a straight son. I don't know how to tell them that I'm gay too. 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, at 18, I finally told my mom I was gay. She spent the rest of the day bringing up my "future wife" at every possible chance she had. FML
Today, after having a long talk with my mother about LGBT rights, she told me that she was totally open. I felt completely relieved, being gay myself. Seconds later, she said, "But not for you. I want you to find me a nice girl that can give me lots of grandkids." FML
Today, I went to family therapy because my mom wanted the family to be closer. When asked what her biggest disappointment was in life, she turned to me and said, "Having a gay son" then patted my hand, smiled, and said "No offense, honey." FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my family for the first time. My mother's immediate reaction was, "We didn't know you were gay!" No mom, she really is a girl. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that he was gay and that he is in love with my younger brother. FML
Today, I told my parents that I'm a smoker. My mother started crying, and said she worried I was gay, but this is almost as bad. That lead on to part two of my confession. FML
Today, my sister came out of the closet. By which I mean she came out as the pregnant mother of my boyfriend's child. FML
Today, my son decided to come out of the closet by wearing a shirt that said "Mom, I'm gay" to the family reunion. FML

Ha ha, I love all these people are calling the mother, "a selfish bitch". I'm willing to bet almost none of you have ever gone through a change so drastic that you never planned for it/ever expected it. There's nothing wrong with one's child being gay, but if one had never even thought about the idea, it would be a terribly stark change in one's life. And to all you people saying analytical bullshit like, "well her remark implies..." or "clearly her emotions were related to..." need to respectfully STFU. Humans are emotional creatures by default. Sure, we absolutely LOVE to brag about how analytical and logical we are, but when it comes down to it, when we're in a corner, we rely on nothing but pure raw emotion. I'd like to see someone witness their best friend die or family member get a life-threatening sickness and still manage to think, "logically."

Happy tears?

You know, she might be right, if this new trend of banning gay adoption (and incidentally, single parent adoption) continues.

Adopted kids don't have those obnoxious famil traits. Your brother's future "Gaybies" should be just fine for your mom.

To the OP: I'm sorry your mother reacted this way. I think your brother had it worse... maybe if your mother wasn't so oblivious, it wouldn't come as a "shock" to her. To Brasil & BiggLJ - You guys are appalling. I'm sad that there's still so much ignorance in the world. Maybe if you weren't so blinded by religion... but just maybe. (Not that religion is a bad thing, it just seems to "control" some people...) "Mental defect"? "Sin"? Please... just sad.

To 17, some People are that way. If my nephew told me "Uncle, I'm gay" I wouldn't say "OH YAY! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!". I'd be upset. And practically raising the boy I'd have every right to be. But... I wouldn't try to snuff it out. Do I like it, no.. but that doesn't make me a homophobe. People don't HAVE to like it... get used to it. OP... Sucks to be you :P
