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

I don't understand why parents think they can decide for children if they are to have children or not. So what if you want grandchildren, you don't have to raise them, your kids do. And if they don't want children, then don't have a fit.

It's more F your brother's life. Your mom is very selfish and ignorant. She clearly doesn't realize that he can adopt.

Gay Males can still have kids. he could adopt. or he could have a friend carry the baby. Having Grand kids doesn't neccasarily mean a male and female conceiving, it doesn't have to be just biological. I think your mother is very ignorant.

Lol @ the fag defenders. Freaks should be kept in the circus. That poor woman wasted years of her life raising a child that turned out to be completely useless to humanity.

@#10 Are you implying being gay is like being hit by a car? Being gay is great, I'm sure. I mean, I like being straight. I'm sure gay people like being gay. Also, OP, gay people can have children. :3

That sucks if my brother, kids when i have them, or someone i know was gay or came out i would strap them to a chair and force them to watch **** for like 3 hours

I don't get what the big deal is. It's not like they're a completely different person. So they like the same sex that they are? Who cares? I don't understand why it's made into a miniature soap opera. It's a good thing that your brother came out, but your Mom must have made him feel like shit. Plus, she must have made you feel like shit after crying when you said that. Tch... She should be grateful that she has kids who love her.

Exactly what everyone else said. Your mother is a selfish ****. Those who say "blah, blah, initial shock" should also just shut up - I most certainly wouldn't cry if my kid came out (if I wanted kids, which I don't). I'd be endlessly supportive and loving, because god knows most of the world won't. #80 is Exhibit A. Hey #80, I'd say a lot of gays are much more "useful to humanity" than many idiot heterosexuals who continue to reproduce. However, OP, this was not about you. You picked the wrong time to say something.
