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

#10, I disagree with you. It's actually more like saying: Your brother died. Your mom cries and says she has no children. You point out that you're still alive. She cries even harder. Do you see what I'm getting at? Not only is the mother a homophobe, she implies so subtly that her other child is ugly, or something. And you're sticking up for HER =.=

Man, That sucks. Not to down on your mother, but she is a bitch. How selfish is she? I am guessing that she had children so that you could have grandchildren? Does the world revolve around her? I would seriously think of not speaking to her, and breaking off all communication with that nazi.

No, the mother said she was gonna "have no grandchildren". That's almost as if she didn't regard the OP as her child anymore, and I certainly don't think the OP would deserve that. Forget my example and lets look at the real thing here. So what if the OP says that she'll have kids too? I don't think that is selfish. What was she supposed to do, stand back and let her mother forget about her COMPLETELY, as if she didn't even exist?

I hate ignorant parents who forget that just because a person is gay doesn't mean they can't still procreate

#29 - Why does it matter? They got the message across =/. And I could say things about the errors in your comment too if I wanted, but there's really no point. To the OP: FYL indeed, that sucks :(.

oh my everyone going on about how the mother only had children to have grandchildren what a load of rubbish she was just upset that she might not have grandkids from that child a person's aim in life isn't to have kids so that they'll have grandchildren god that's so stupid.
