Today, I finally came out to my family as a lesbian. My grandma then told me I'm just going through a phase because I finally realized I'm not pretty or skinny enough to get a man. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my grandmother called me to tell me that there will be a nice, single guy for me to meet at the family reunion. She went on and on about how perfect he was for me. I didn't have the heart to tell her I'm a lesbian, and have been out to the rest of the family for over six years. FML
Today, I came out as lesbian and introduced my new girlfriend to my family. My mom angrily told me that I should have waited until my grandparents had died before coming out, and that I was "extremely disrespectful" for making this announcement. I honestly thought everyone would be fine with it. 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 finally worked up the courage to tell my mom that I'm gay. She sympathetically patted my back and told me I don't need to make up excuses for me being so unattractive to women. FML
Today, I came out to my parents. My mother laughed and, when I asked her what was so funny, she told me, "Well, most gays are attractive, muscular, funny and can dress very well. You're ugly, fat, boring, and have no sense of fashion. Good luck." FML
Today, my entire family thinks I'm a lesbian. I'm straight. I'm embarrassed and don't know how to tell them that I've been single for so long because I can't get a guy. FML
Today, I came out to my parents. I don't really fit any stereotype, I'm just an average guy who happens to be into guys. Ten minutes later, I overheard my mother say to my step-dad, "Should we redecorate his room pink?" 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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well Popeye ate a lot of spinach and you never saw his grandma act like that. Coincidence?... I think not.

Gotta love old peoples honesty :D

10, pretty sure you wouldn't be saying that if it were you in this situation.

Why not? I say whatever I desire, because it is a free country. First Amendment rights and all. Just like the grandmother can be as honest as she wants. That is what makes all this possible. You can tell me whatever you want, and I fully support your right to say it. I see that my comment did not make you happy, but that is ok too. It would be a horrible place to be if you were scared to say something because it could hurt someones feelings somewhere.

??? My head is full of ****.

Wouldn't and couldn't are not the same thing, so I'll just ignore the amendment garbling at the beginning of the comment. If for some reason a family member makes a rude comment about your lifestyle and image and you can ignore it, fine by me. Most people take offense to being told something so insensitive.

45- Did you really just refer to the internet as a country? And tell me how an amendment to the US Constitution that's designed to guarantee people's right to criticize or petition the government even applies in any situation other than, well, to criticize or petition the government?

I'm a believer in respecting your elders, but this is too far. Tell her to **** off.

I accidentally thumbed you down when I meant to thumbs up. Sorry!

Well OP, whenever you're feeling worthless and upset about something, just remember that you were once the quickest sperm cell! That'll do it! :)
Pleonasm 36
A) We are diploid beings, not haploid, so we /aren't/ a sperm cell, we are the fusion of sperm and egg. A sperm is a sperm, a human being is a human being. B) The fastest sperm cell isn't the one who will give a human being; fusion requires a collective effort of many sperm and it is only the luckiest, most oppurtunistic, so let's say the most lazy-I'll-mooch-off-of-everyone-else's-work sperm who will fuse! So next time you feel down and out just think how you screwed over all those other potential yous who sacrificed themselves for you! Hooray for learning!

Well I guess you learn something new everyday!

Just watch the beginning scene of "Look Who's Talking" to see how it works. (:

It's your grandma, back in her day blacks weren't even treated as equals so it's not surprising she has a negative view of homosexuality as well
DudeEvil 22
What else can you expect from her when she pulls more guys than you at the gym. ;)
