Today, after weeks of thinking and playing every outcome possible in my head, I told my parents I'm gay. My dad nodded and didn't even look up from his book; my mom told me to go to the doctor if it starts to itch. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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, as an April fools day joke, I decided to tell my mom and dad that I was gay. After an awkward silence, my mom looks at me, smiles, and says, "well, we have known for a while." She wasn't joking. FML
Today, I was leaving to go over to a friend's and my parents suddenly ask if I'm gay. I reply that no, I'm bisexual. My mom then asks if I've ever made out with someone of the same sex and I say yes. She turns to my dad and says 'I told you so. You owe me $20'. My parents bet on my sexuality. 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 finally worked up the courage to tell my mom that I'm gay. She sympathetically patted my back and told me I don't need to make up excuses for me being so unattractive to women. FML
Today, I finally decided to tell my parents I was a lesbian. They spent the next few hours reading me the bible. 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 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, I regretfully confessed to my parents I have trichotillomania. There was a torturous pause, followed by the question, "Are you gay?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

they could have taken it so much worse. while not exactly supportive, they didn't scream at you to leave, either. be grateful you were able to get it off your chest, and congrats!

11 - then it would have been best if you kept it to yourself. OP- at least your parents didn't kick you out

I hate people that hate gays... Sure, they can be annoying if they act and dress like the opposite gender, but it's actually not a choice to be gay or not. They can't control the fact that they like people the same gender as them, just like how I can't control that I like girls. So I don't like it when people hate someone because of something they can't control at all, like their sexuality.

When I told my mom she ended up crying. She's fine now though which is good. She is supportive of my boyfriend and I. My dad though on the other hand hasn't talked to me in 2 weeks. I would say your experience went pretty good op!

27 your're being hypocritical. you're yelling at people for hating a group of people while you're hating a group of people yourself. you're hating on haters...jus sayin

Today, I saw this guy tell himself to burn in hell. It really made me upset because I knew I was smart enough to say an insult to someone other than myself. However, if 51 didn't fail so bad then I wouldn't of had this awful experience. FML

27, Yes!!! ^_^ Homophobes/haters really bug me. I hate how so many of them will hurt/kill/publicly mortify anyone that's homosexual. But that's why I do my damndest to let my homosexual friends know that I'll do anything to protect them if they need it. <3 If any of my friends see this, I love you a ton, guys! ^_^

54 ur not getting what 27 is saying. he hats ppl that make fun of things they can't control. "haters" can control whether or not they hate gay ppl but gay ppl can't control that they're gay. I completely agree with 27

You should have posted this on mylifeisG.com My parents are religious and hate gays .. They disapprove of my cousin who is also homosexual and I don't have the guts to tell them .. So considering ... I think you're lucky.

Not to be technical but it depends on what kind of gay he turns out to be. Since his parents didn't care when he came out because they probably already knew. We can assume that he must be a girly gay. In which case yes, his butt is gonna be sore Lol.

Are you parents stupid? They don't seem to care.

The fact that the mother said, "Go to the doctor if it itches."
Cinn_fml 23
It's good advice. It might just be that she didn't know what else to say.
Cinn_fml 23
Indeed, Pen. However, maybe Annihilator thinks that the mum was trying to make an ignorant anti-gay comment? But I think if that were the case, then she'd have reacted in a completely different way to her son telling her he was gay.

Yeah, as I see it, they reacted in exactly the same manner that they would have had OP announced, "Hey Mom and Dad, just so you know, I'm straight." Isn't that, y'know, equality? Aka, a good thing?

I was thinking that his parents weren't listening, despite his over-preparation.
