Today, I came out as bisexual to my 17-year-old sister. She was quiet for a second, then told me she knows for sure I only have "girl parts". I had to explain to her the difference between being bi and being a hermaphrodite. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my sister gently asked me if I was gay. Turns out I've been without a boyfriend for so long that the whole family believes I secretly have a girlfriend. FML
Today, I came out as bisexual while we were in the car. My mom started crying behind the steering wheel, driving at 85 mph. She later told my dad, even though I asked her not to. My dad said, "Give it a month, he'll grow out of it." I realized I was bi 4 years ago. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me that she's a lesbian. And that she could only stay with me because I had a "girly face and voice". She also admitted to having a crush on my sister. 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, my sister came out of the closet. By which I mean she came out as the pregnant mother of my boyfriend's child. 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
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, 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, after confessing to my 16 year-old sister that I was only into guys younger than me, she said that was OK because she was attracted to guys in their late 40's and that an age gap was not that much of a big deal. FML
Today, my 14-year-old sister asked me how I felt when I first had sexual intercourse. I told her it was personal and was none of her business. She then looked at me and said, "I thought it was nice." I'm 19 and I'm still a virgin. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's actually brilliant because you were able to explain it to her before any prejudices could reach her.

This is why we need to update sex education in schools.

What on earth are they teaching in schools these days? Good luck OP.

Not any sort of good sex or relationship education clearly.

To be honest, not a lot of teachers know this stuff. I just had to arrange a professional development on LGBTQ awareness for the staff at my school because our principal told one of our transgender students there was psychological help available for their "disorder". What I found out my fellow teachers don't know about the subject was frightening.

They're not. Sex Ed classes are either non existent or spread false information. There also needs to be discussions about safe sex and sex in general with the LGBTA community.

Is your sister dumb or something? I mean nowadays even 10yrs kids know what's bisexual and shit. Anyways it's good that you explained her.

Well she was obviously misinformed. This is exactly why we need sex education. There are adults nowadays who are STILL confused about reproduction.

#14 Exactly, I once had to inform my mother that you don't carry babies inside your stomach, that's just for digesting food. She thought the womb was inside the stomach and I had to explain that if that was the case you'd digest it.

I'm sorry but I feel bad for bisexuals. They have no pleasure in life.
MishIsBish 12
On the contrary, it's double the pleasure.

The school system.

I can see how it could be confusing. I mean, one means that you'd like to experience the bits of both genders, while the other means that you do have the bits of both :P
IDerive 12
Agreed. It kind of seems like a hermaphrodite or "intersex," as the kids call them now days, could really be the best option for a bi-sexual person... If you like both, here's both wrapped up in one package. A buffet of both B's and P's if you will.

Intersex doesn't mean you magically have a whole vag and peen lol.

28 - correct me if im wrong, but being bi doesnt nessisarily nean you like someone with both parts, just both parts individually.
Kazze 31
60: Bi +liking both parts technically equals pansexual. That said, a lot of people have different views on that. I personally consider them both to be the same thing, but that's just me.

You don't know much about bisexuality, do you?
kirkaygri 18
It's not intersex. It's ambiguous genitalia, which means it can't be determined, by sight, which sex the child/person is. Blood tests are done to determine which. Followed by ultrasounds and other scans to make sure the inner parts are in working order. Intersex is insulting to those who actually have ambiguous genitalia. They are not in between sexes, they are either male or female. And for the record, I know a woman with ambiguous genitalia who is a lesbian, but visually she looks like a man, even though she isn't. She still refers to herself as a a gay female, because she is a female hormonally.

She needs a update in sex ed.

I applaud you for coming out its never easy xo
abNormal62 23
Clearly she's uninformed and limited in her knowledge. But on the bright side she was supportive of you and that goes along way. Lack of understanding is far better than ignorance
MzZombicidal 36
That literally doesn't matter though? Lol. Not everyone learns the same information throughout their life. It's not her fault she didn't know.
