Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

#31: Your post is self-contradictory. If her aim in life wasn't to have kids so they'll have grandchildren, she wouldn't have been so upset about one of them probably not having any (at least not biologically. Still not ruling out adoption). You said yourself that's why she's upset. It seems pretty obvious what her goals are.

#29, #17 never DID start a sentence with "because". Your mom is a homophobe, and she hates you for some reason. Sucks for you, but you can't pick your parents. FYL indeed.

the first thing that went through my mind was "maybe there's another secret in your family and that's why your mother doesn't "count" your kids"... but anyways..fyl!

Parents need to learn that their children are not their property.

the OPs mum isn't a wrong person, she was just in shock, she'll accept it and get over it. everyone saying "oh your mom should go to hell" is ridiculous
