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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

I started wondering does sex education involves teaching sexuality too?

You're lucky. I went to a Catholic high school and my sex education was if you have sex, you will get pregnant and get herpes. Thank god for the internet.

#42 Sounds like the coach from Mean Girls, except your teacher didn't say you'd die.

#42, you forgot go to hell. You'd also go to hell for having premarital sex. That's what I was taught. Good old Catholic guilt.

I agree that this is something a 17 year old should know. However due to some idiots out there who think that teaching sex Ed to kids will "pollute their mind" some teens don't know these important pieces of info. And congrats on coming out.

It's sad that she didn't already know, but at least she didn't react worse! Also good on you OP, coming out is hard. I hope you're proud :)

Not stupid. Misinformed. I lived half my life thinking the numbers on the toaster meant levels of toastness and not minutes. Imagine that lol

I just came out to my little brother this past weekend and he said both "are you sure it's not a phase?" and "well, figures, you've always been as chill as a guy." But he's completely fine with it and that's all that matters to me because I can answer his questions all day. Education paves the way to acceptance!

This is exactly why we need sex-ed in school.

But so many parents will either teach 'abstinence only' crap or simply not bother at all. Neither of which are going to help the child.

I think a society has a right to try to prevent teenage pregnancies. Or harmful myths that are spread. Parents are not teachers, they did not go through classes and learn about the human body. A parent should NOT be the only source of information for a child.

that's the thing; so many of us are ignorant and jump to assumptions. you're a good sister for educating her :)
