Today, I came out to my mom as a lesbian. She told me that it was impossible, because since she isn't one, she therefore couldn't have given birth to one. She still won't believe me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mom barged into my room, threw 5 boxes of condoms at me, then said, "So you don't get pregnant". She still hasn't accepted the fact that I'm a lesbian. 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, my mom went to a psychic. The reason? She has convinced herself that I'm gay, even though I've told her that I'm not, and never have been. The psychic disagreed. Apparently, I'm bi-curious with one of my guy friends. Guess who my mom believes? 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, my mom tried to convince my dad that I was a lesbian. Why? Because she was bored. FML
Today, after being out of the closet for over three years, I learned that some of my friends still don't believe me that I am really a lesbian. They still think I made the whole thing up because I can't get a man. FML
Today, I found out that my mother has been telling everybody that I’m a lesbian, because both of her best friends have at least one gay child each, and she was feeling left out. This explains why people have been treating me differently the last few weeks. 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
Today, I came out to my parents as lesbian. Surprisingly, they were OK with it… just as long as I still marry a dude, give them grandbabies, and keep the whole lesbian thing a deep, dark, shameful secret that we never talk about again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, at least you didn't get your logic from her. Clearly, you are the smarter lass.

I'm sorry, but your mother is an idiot. Or she is in denial. Either one will work.

Sorry, OP. I hope you some how get through to her,

Well, to be fair to the mother, she may have heard the "you're born that way" and assumed it was purely genetic, and when combined with an outdated high school level understanding of genetics, I could see how she could make that mistake.

Sometimes I feel like stupidity exists for the amusement of intelligent people.

She must be of the sort that believes that homosexuality is genetic. It's not. It's determined by hormone levels in the womb.

#60 - no, it's not. If it were, all twins would both be gay or straight. I'm straight with a gay brother.

are you sure that you're straight?

#108 - Yes, I am.

Hormone levels don't affect everyone the same way. Also, there is only a direct link between hormone levels in utero and male homosexuality, not female homosexuality. So if you're a girl and your twin twin brother is gay, then that would explain why he's gay and you're not. If you're both boys, then I stand by my original explanation that not everyone is affected the same way by hormone levels, just as different people have different reactions to drugs. As far as I know there is actually no scientific explanation for female homosexuality, so you are correct that it doesn't REALLY apply to OP here, but given science's current understanding of the topic, the best guess is that she was affected by hormones during fetal development rather than genes. I took a course on this subject in college, so yes, unless there has been new discoveries in the few years since I took that class, I do know what I'm taking about here. Do some research and I think you'll find that I am right.

There is NO conclusive evidence to what causes homosexuality.Tests on lab mice have shown that the alteration/removal of a certain gene causes homosexual behavior. Homosexuality can be caused by multiple things. I'm surprised your "course" didn't teach you that.
kofeinisti 6
There is no concrete evidence as to what specifically causes homosexuality. It's part genes, part hormones, part envoronment, part chance. There is not enough research to prove any one hypothesis over the others. Your course was based on a theory, not scientific, proven fact.

I wanted to edit my first comment instead of posting another one, the first one sounded bitchy. Apologies all around.

It sounds like she is in denial, she will be forced to accept the truth when you introduce her to a gf, I'm sorry coming out didn't go better for you.

Show her video of you munching carpet, bumping donuts and/or scissoring. Case closed.

Lesbians are not what God intended. Thats why you cannot give birth while being a lesbian or gay. Its not correct...

Oh God, here we go again.

I don't blame your mom for reacting like that to be honest. If I had a child & they told me they were gay I would have a hard time dealing with it.

There is a plus side to her saying that. At least she thinks you were "born" that way vs you "choosing" to become a lesbian. Hope she comes around soon and is supportive.(:

I find it more curious that she lives. I'm starting to doubt the evolution theory!
