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

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, 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 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, 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
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
Today, I came out to my parents. They still think I'm joking. FML
Today, after weeks of being engaged and with the wedding date planned, I finally told my parents. They told me it was my best April Fool's joke ever. I should've waited one more day. FML
Today, my mom called me into the living room to say that she had something important to tell me. She then explained how she and my dad had "talked things over" and wanted me to know that they accept me and love me no matter what. Apparently my mom thinks I'm lesbian. I'm not. FML
Today, I learned that despite having told them two years ago, my parents still aren't accepting of me being gay. I found this out when my mom called and asked if I was "cured" yet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How do you know she wasn't joking? According to my watch, she's allowed to continue the charade for another 18 hours. Them's the rules.

Hey, that's exactly what happened to me! I sat them down, all formal and everything, did the whole "there's something I need to tell you guys" routine. I finally got to the "I'm gay" part. And their response was, "We know, isn't it fabulous?" (my mom) and "It's okay, you don't have to watch soccer with me if you don't have to" (my dad). Followed by the safe-sex-HIV lecture, which is pretty funny because I know a hell of a lot more than either of them about sex and certainly about HIV (I'm a biomedical engineering student). Anyways, I suppose I'm pretty obvious... I'm kinda camp, and all my friends are girls, and I LOVE the colors purple and periwinkle. So...

You probably are gay and didn't even know it yet... It could be your subconscious telling you to come out before you even know what's happening... loll

Wow, yet another "my parents think I'm gay but I'm not" FML. Please stop approving these. They are unoriginal and boring. #9 is right. I've never even heard of the "stop at noon" rule. Must be some new dumb shit you kids make up. I blame Facebook.
