Today, I arrived at my parents house for dinner. When I got there, I noticed that they had gay pride flags hanging from the porch, and gay rights bumper stickers plastered to their cars. There was also a huge "We accept you, Nick" banner hanging from the garage. I'M NOT GAY! FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came out to my parents as gay and they reacted better than I expected. Then I found my car destroyed with a note that said "fag" on what used to be my hood. I never thought I'd have to sue my own family, but I'm lucky I have security footage. FML
Today, I came out to my parents. I don't really fit any stereotype, I'm just an average guy who happens to be into guys. Ten minutes later, I overheard my mother say to my step-dad, "Should we redecorate his room pink?" 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, 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, 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 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 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 therapist as gay. Claiming that my parents "can't be that homophobic", my therapist outed me to them. They kicked me out of the house. 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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

His parents accept him as something that he's not! As much as gay people are accepted by society nowadays, I guarantee you that most straight people wouldn't want to be falsely labeled as gay, especially in such a public way. My friend told a few people that I was gay (which I'm not), and it was quite annoying having to correct their misconceptions and endure the awkward conversations. It would have been a great thing (a little ostentatious perhaps) if the OP was gay, because it shows that his parents care, but seeing as he is not gay, it was humiliating, and clearing the issue up with all of the neighbours will be mighty awkward (especially if he has conservative neighbours)

I am a straight girl, and I have been asked if I was a lesbian twice. The first time I was in fith grade, and across the lunch table, a girl asked loudly, "Are you a ******?" Very recently, I was talking with a friend, and in the middle of her sentence, this genuinely rude girl butts in with, "You're a LESBIAN?!" to me, even though I hadn't said anything remotely close to that. And this was in front of rather popular people.

#6, you can't TURN gay, you are born that way. also i think this guy really is gay and doesn't want anyone to know.

I realize that this must have been really embarrassing for you, but all I can think is how much I wish my parents were half as okay with it as yours are.

I agree with #21, if your mom is convinced, there must be something to it.

If I were you I'd make a sex tape and send it to everyone you know as soon as possible, that'll help counteract the whole everyone thinks you're gay thing. Oh, also, make sure you're having sex with a girl in the tape, should go without saying but you know how it is with some people..
