Today, I asked my mom if she thought I was straight. She looked at me and said, "Well, that's really up to you honey. But your father and I would still love you." I was asking if she thought I had parked straight. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 finally thought that my mother was okay with me being a lesbian. Then, over dinner, she turns to me and says, "So, do you still think you like girls, or are you going to start being normal again?" 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, my parents bought me a wine glass with "Who needs a man?" painted all over it. Cute, until after dinner my mom looked me in the eyes and asked with complete sincerity, "Kara, are you gay?" My parents tried to get me to come out. I'm straight. 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, 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, my mom asked me, once again, if my girlfriend of almost a year is just a cover up for being gay. FML
Today, my dad seemed moody, so to lift his spirits, I told him I loved him. He just snorted, "You gay or something, boy?" Really mature, dad, really mature. FML
Today, after having a long talk with my mother about LGBT rights, she told me that she was totally open. I felt completely relieved, being gay myself. Seconds later, she said, "But not for you. I want you to find me a nice girl that can give me lots of grandkids." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

decision? you honestly think there is a choice involved? That's like choosing whether or not to have vision. Or hearing. there is no choice involved. Research says that's more true for guys than for girls though.

#84 -- if that's true, then why do some in the "moderate" section have "today" and "FML", and some don't? and why does it say in the instructions to put them in?

You have awesome parents. A little awkward sure, but FYL? No. I understand that you're probably saying FYL because you're insulted that they think you could be gay. Guess what? That's not an insult.

They knew you weren't talking about your sexuality, they just really wanted you to know they would still love you if you hadn't of parked straight

That's not an FML... at least you know they wouldn't give a shit and love you regardless.

you know what, MILLIONS of people would love to have parents so openly comfortable and loving...but YOU'RE INSULTED and you even go onto FML to tell the world that your parents are so open-minded and truly good and honest as if you're ...ashamed of it? i hope you're happy with your straight parking skills, because your social skills are TOTALLY bent.

I'm not really replying to just you, but your comment is a good example. Everyone: he never said he was insulted, or didn't like what she said... but that doesn't mean explaining what he meant wouldn't have been awkward, with such a touchy subject. So can everyone just calm down?

You have great parents! It's a funny story but looks pathetic as an FML.
