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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

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!

Well, you have to admit, it does seem like that made it easier.

Lol, that's my life. Similarly happened to me like 8 years ago when I was in high school. Thought I had cleaned my tracks but didn't think to clear the cookies back then. Be happy your parents were okay with it though and didn't confront you like mine did.

This is the millionth FML of gay people coming out. I don't care about gay people in real life so why would I want to read about them on the Internet. If you are gay you might want to rethink your life.

I think you ought to rethink your own. Or just end it. Either way.

Hey, alex_vik, try standing on a railroad and wait for a big, long thing of metal to meet you.

You should consider yourself lucky since they didn't make a big deal out of it.

Your parents were both asses, but on the other hand, it saved you from an awkward moment.

I'm glad you decided to come out. :3 Congrats! I'm just glad there weren't any total douchebags in this one like there always tend to be (in the FML, not the comments. That'll never happen). I always get paranoid when I read that though. Makes me wonder if my Ma monitors my net surfing.

Go OP for being brave! :) But I agree with everyone. It's probably for the best that your parents didn't make a big deal out of it. Still, the invasion of privacy has got to be embarrassing. I think that's the FYL here. I'd probably die if my parents did something like that. I'm not gay, so I don't have that to worry about, but I still wouldn't like my parents poking around in my history. That's private! FYL.

And this is what passwords have been invented for. I'm still gonna vote FYL, but you should've been smarter.
