Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents. My mother turned to me and said, "Wait you're actually gay? I thought you were just saying that to piss off your father." I came out to her when I was 16, and have confided in her about my past relationships. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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, I decided to introduce my girlfriend to my parents by telling them that we were gonna have a very special guest for dinner. While my mom was preparing the meal she asked, "What does he like?" I'm straight. My parents thought different. FML
Today, I finally let my parents meet a boyfriend of mine for the first time ever. My dad mentioned how he was happy to finally meet him, because for the past 4 years he'd thought I was gay. FML
Today, I came out as lesbian and introduced my new girlfriend to my family. My mom angrily told me that I should have waited until my grandparents had died before coming out, and that I was "extremely disrespectful" for making this announcement. I honestly thought everyone would be fine with it. 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, I came out to my parents and siblings as gay. They were very accepting and asked me why I waited until I was 25 to do so. I didn't have the heart to tell them it was their own homophobic remarks that kept me closeted since I realized it at 14, and that a previous coming-out to a parent was dismissed as 'a phase'. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to tell my parents that I'm gay. My mom said "Yeah, we know." When I asked how they knew, my dad, without looking up from the tv, said, "We've been monitoring your Internet history." FML
Today, I introduced my new boyfriend to my parents. Everyone knows he's into the emo scene, but this didn't stop my dad from slowly looking him up and down, then saying, completely deadpan, "You never told us you were a lesbian, honey." FML
Today, I told my mom that I’m a lesbian. She was fine with it, supported me 100%, and it was a huge relief, until she followed up with, “Until you find a husband, then you’ll obviously have to stop all that.” The reason I even told her is because my girlfriend just proposed to me, and we’re engaged. FML

I'm afraid this will happen when I meet my girlfriend's parents. I'm sorry, OP.

She thought you had the past relationships to piss off your dad as well.

Your parents are idiots and you need to make that work for you. Tell them that you are really a boy (your dad really wanted a son, anyways), and you have a nice, normal heterosexual girlfriend. Keep a Cabbage Patch doll in a car seat in your car, and tell your retarded parents that their grandchild has to stay in the car because they are being punished. You got to use your head when dealing with morons.

With her mom..? Or you? You seem like the kind of person who inspired the shirts that say "Yes I am, and no you can't watch."

*checks watch* Going by how quickly #10 jumped on the hate train here, I'm gonna give it, oh, maybe three hours until they close the comments on this one. Takers? Oh, and OP, one of the other commenters was right - never underestimate the power of denial. Hopefully, she'll come round sooner rather than later. And your dad... well, hopefully, him too. Good luck.

I wonder if your past relationships had ambiguous names: Sam Alex Hayden Bailey etc All of these could go either way, especially if she doesn't want to think you are a homosexual.

How does she deserve it for being gay? It isn't something you choose nor is it some stupid trend. I thought we lived in an age were people were exceptant. Guess not.

Hayden Christianson? Hayden Panettierre? Point, set, match. (Though, I can admit, Christianson's masculinity is debatable.)

You came out when you were 16? How old are you now? This is relevant... if you're 17 now, then so what? If you're 25, then damn, that sucks.
