Today, I came out to my parents. My mom and dad think that I'm lying, just so I could "fit in" with everyone else. FML

Today, as an April fools day joke, I decided to tell my mom and dad that I was gay. After an awkward silence, my mom looks at me, smiles, and says, "well, we have known for a while." She wasn't joking. FML

Today, I came out to my parents. Their response was basically, "Oh, you’re coming out? But we’ve known for years. It was obvious, so obvious we never knew you were in the closet in the first place." FML
Gay younger brother
About that...
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 came out to my parents. They nodded empathetically throughout my entire speech and told me repeatedly that it was okay. As I smiled and stood up, my dad asked, "But you're still going to marry a guy, right?" FML
Fiancé problemsss
Billings, United States
Today, despite all of the pictures and proof of my fiancé, my parents still think I have an imaginary boyfriend. They met him, and were there when he proposed. They think it's all a joke. 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

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 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

They'll believe you when you bring someone home, I bet.

Sounds like my parents, they laughed and were like "funny joke Niki, it's just a phase, it'll pass." Six years and several girlfriends later, they still keep thinking "it'll pass". Congratulations on coming out OP! It's quite wonderful out here!

Just bring your partner home and then maybe they will understand that you are being serious.

Your so brave. Your parents need to accept the fact. Don't worry they'll come through. :)

They probably are wagering that even the gays won't have you. They are howling with laughter that you think you'll ever get anything more than solitary masturbation.
