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.

Again, SERIOUSLY?! It's just gay, if people don't like you for your sexuality then don't associate with them. It's not a terminal disease, which most people seem to be acting like it is. LOUD&PROUD FLAUNT WHAT YOUR MUMMA GAVE U BOI, JUS FLAUNT IT!! xx Gay all the way!! xx (4 those who call me a fag for writing this, please know, you are no one and nothing to me honey, your words wash away before they even get me, for your words are nothing I haven't heard before, and your words are just that, a constant stream of worthlessness xx for you haters) XXOOXXOO FOR THE GAYS! GLBT, Be who you want to be, honesty and integrity is all you have, no one can ever take it from you babes.

Get a sense of humor, dumbass. April Fools' Day is 24 hours long. Just because she owned you at your own joke doesn't mean she was serious. And gay people are awesome. One of my relatives is gay, and he's one of the coolest people I know.

why do all parents answer " we've known for a while" or something similar if their child comes out?

What a terrible "joke," dickweed. I hope you're not bigoted the other 364 days of the year.
