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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I told my mom that I’m a lesbian. She was fine with it, supported me 100%, and it was a huge relief, until she followed up with, “Until you find a husband, then you’ll obviously have to stop all that.” The reason I even told her is because my girlfriend just proposed to me, and we’re engaged. FML
Today, after having a long talk with my mother about LGBT rights, she told me that she was totally open. I felt completely relieved, being gay myself. Seconds later, she said, "But not for you. I want you to find me a nice girl that can give me lots of grandkids." 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, my mother urged me to "get over this lesbian thing and give me some grandkids." In front of my girlfriend of eleven months. 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 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, my mom tried to convince my dad that I was a lesbian. Why? Because she was bored. FML
Today, my mum decided that me being bisexual meant that I was "deciding whether or not to be a lesbian" because supposedly, no man will have me. Thanks mum. 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?

oh my god I know how you feel. I came out to my mom recently and got me kicked out of the house so I live with my grandparents. she called me the other day and was like "so have you changed your mind yet? " and I said "sorry mom I'm with my girlfriend. I'll call you later". Just hang in there. :) you got this.

Honestly, just ignore all the ignorant people posting. You're not "wrong" for being gay, nor are you "abnormal". We lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgenders are perfectly normal. We're born this way, we don't choose. You can't "cure" it, as it is not a disease. Your mother will eventually get over it, as did mine. I've known I was a lesbian since I was...11 or 12-ish. I came out at 17. I'm almost 19 now. My mom still has problems with it and my dad ignores it, but as for the talks and the attempts to convince me that it's just a phase, those are long gone. Everything will eventually get better, but there will always be rough spots. We still live in a very ignorant world, but we're slowly getting better. The only thing stopping us is ignorant assholes and the uneducated religious public. (I'm not calling all religious people uneducated or ignorant, as I have family and friends who are religious and far from what I've said, but the majority that I always see ARE. If you're not one of them, thank you.) No one wants to be discriminated against, hated, or killed for their differences. Why would we choose to be homosexual? Ignorant logic has no grounds, so stop using it.

I 100% agree. We talk about "freedom" But when we talk about our sexuality We get "Your wrong" Or "Your going to hell" Where is the respect anymore?

response: "I'm not sure yet, mom. I figure, why stop a good thing when I can see where it goes? I hear dolphins are into the group thing, and there are some types of pine that actually know how to treat a lady."

I resent the idea that we LGBT folk need some sort of "excuse" for our sexual preference. Does it really matter whether our behavior is genetic, whether we choose our attraction or whether we were influenced by external forces? We aren't typically asked to justify our behavior in realms other than sexual preference. The issue should not be one of cause but one of effect. Please explain to me how gay individuals directly hurt the world.
