Today, I finally got the courage to tell my parents that I'm gay. My mom said "Yeah, we know." When I asked how they knew, my dad, without looking up from the tv, said, "We've been monitoring your Internet history." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after weeks of thinking and playing every outcome possible in my head, I told my parents I'm gay. My dad nodded and didn't even look up from his book; my mom told me to go to the doctor if it starts to itch. 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, 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 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, I finally let my parents meet a boyfriend of mine for the first time ever. My dad mentioned how he was happy to finally meet him, because for the past 4 years he'd thought I was gay. 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 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, 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
Today, I finally decided to tell my parents I was a lesbian. They spent the next few hours reading me the bible. FML
Today, I told my friends I had been hiding something that I wanted to come clean on. My one friend responds by saying, "FINALLY you come out of the closet. It's about time." I'm not gay. I was just going to tell them my parents were getting a divorce. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Major invasion of your privacy, sure. But at least they didn't freak out and were totally fine about it. Plus, they waited until you were ready to tell them rather than confront you when they figured it out through snooping...gotta give them credit for that!

Eh, you deserve it for being gay. :p kidding kidding, Apathy, can hurt as much as anger ... Still ... praise yourself happy, some folks act out way worse. On another note: good for you and best of luck!

Apathy SHOULD be the correct response by tolerant, accepting parents. If your kid came up to you and said "Mom, dad... I'm straight." your response would probably be something like... okay... so? It shouldn't really matter to parents whether their kid is straight or gay.

****, my parents must know (and they won't be cool with it)! even though I only looked at it once on my computer (thank god for the iPhone). I found out my brother was gay via his computer history.

Believe me, when it comes to a coming out, things can be much worse than your parents just saying "Yeah, we know..." So I really can't say FYL. I would actually say FML 'cause all parents aren't as cool as yours...

That's how my parents found out I was a player! Except they hacked my myspace and read my messages! Yay for obnoxious parents.

Wow and i always thought my parents sucked... they won't let me use facebook. True to all that are saying that at least they care bout him. once when i was complaining bout my parents to my friends one said i was lucky to have parents that cared so much...we don't realise what we have in life

I think the implication was that his (Her? Gay is a gender-neutral term) parent's knew he/she was looking at ****. His/her coming out wasn't the focus, just the context.
