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

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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

#88, said: "wow, eighty, i'm sensing a little homophobia?" I now reply: 'it is not homophobia, it is only common sense!"

#10 being hit by a car and coming out are two totally different things. he wouldn't be adding to the fire by saying he was having kids. he'd be reassuring her. it's nothing AT ALL like saying at least i'm alright.

Thank you Brasil. It's nice to know not everyone has been brainwashed by what's "politically correct."

Yeah, #91 and Brasil, you guys are totally right -- every gay person I know has turned me gay and raped me, and everyone exposed to them has been molested by them in one way or another. They're totally insatiable, and they're so corrupt and evil that flowers wilt in their presences. It's a FACT! So, uh, when did you guys "decide" to start being aroused by women's breasts? How often do you have to make a "decision" whether you'd rather have sex with a woman or a man? If you have any sexual fetishes, when did you "decide" that those things aroused you? By the way, I'm a straight male, and I've never really had any inclination to suck another guy off, so if you find this is something you actually have to wrestle with, and you think that gays are just people who "couldn't fight off the temptation" or whatever, I have news for you: You're a repressed homosexual. Sorry! But at least now that you know, you can get a head start on all that roiling self-hatred you're bound to develop by the time you hit middle age.

LMAO DoctorManhattan's comment made my day. hilariously funny. no I don't have any struggle with my sexuality, but if anyone does, i salute them every time they choose the "straight" decision. I want to make it clear, that, although I do not agree with homosexuality (I, in fact hate it) I do not have anything against a Homosexual (hate the sin, but love the sinner). As long as they do not ask to be married, or for special civil rights, i could not care less if they live or die. BTW, DoctorManhattan, If you're "a straight male" why would you care about gay people?

um wow denying gay people the rights is not equality and totally destroys what the founding fathers strived to achieve for their children and all of America. Besides, why would you care if gays get married? You're just bossy and in everyone's business. sheesh.

Manhattan why would you assume that I believe homosexuality to be a choice one makes? I actually don't think it's a choice, I know that it is a mental defect that should be corrected. Unfortunately most refuse treatment or don't commit themselves to it fully.
