Today, I introduced my new boyfriend to my parents. Everyone knows he's into the emo scene, but this didn't stop my dad from slowly looking him up and down, then saying, completely deadpan, "You never told us you were a lesbian, honey." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 introduced my girlfriend to my family for the first time. My mother's immediate reaction was, "We didn't know you were gay!" No mom, she really is a girl. 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, after dating for almost a year, I decided to introduce my parents to the man I was sure I'd fallen in love with. When dad saw him, his and my boyfriend's face completely dropped. I asked them what was wrong because I could feel the discomfort. Turns out, I'm dating my dad's drug dealer. FML
Today, I decided to introduce my girlfriend to my parents by telling them that we were gonna have a very special guest for dinner. While my mom was preparing the meal she asked, "What does he like?" I'm straight. My parents thought different. FML
Today, I introduced my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. My dad took one look at him, sighed and said, "You deserve someone better. Someone who is responsible, and has their priorities straight in life." Beyond upset, I told my dad that I love him. My dad disgruntledly responded, "I was talking to him." 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
Today, I finally invited my girlfriend over to meet my oddball parents. The first words out of my dad's mouth were, "So, you're the silly girl who agreed to date my dickhead son." It went downhill from there. FML
Today, my dad's face flushed when I introduced him to my new boyfriend. I live in a small town, and it turns out my dad recognized him. He's the secret child from an affair two decades ago. He's my half-brother. 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

Hey, OP, look on the bright side - there is a good chance that you inherited at least some of the awesome from your old man which will last forever. Your boyfriend won't.

Well, no offense, but I would think about that before bringing my emo scene boyfriends home!

If you're insinuating that I have a JB haircut, you're either mentally deficient or blind, haha.

Shaddup Bieber boy. And quit laughing in your own comments, it makes you seem like even more of a douche; if that's even possible.

Oops, meant to reply to the other post. Oh well. And hahahah, it really is funny, because you remind me of fat, petty, poor 7th grade trash that I dealt with.

Either he's a flat girl or a guy with boobs. :0

OP's father made a witty comment about the boy's gender. You assume it means the 'emo' really has boobs? It was based on the clothes and the hair. Nothing else.

That is soooooo something my dad would have done. My sister has been a lesbian for ever and he still asks her when she's gonna get married and have kids. Lmfao

That's not really the same thing. OP felt the need to warn her family about her bf's style. This tipped the father off that she was sensitive about it. The father did the classic "dad job" of attempting to make the bf feel uncomfortable. Your father sounds like someone who refuses to accept his daughter for what she is. Of course, lesbians can get married and have kids so maybe he is just prodding like many parents do.
