Today, I was walking with my husband, holding hands, when a man with a rainbow shirt on came up to us. He said, "I'm so glad that gay men can go out in public without being embarassed nowdays!" He patted me on the back and walked away. I'm a woman. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I saw an unbelievably cute guy. He caught my eye and began to walk towards me. I adjusted myself and flashed him a smile. He came up to me, smiled back, and said "Hi, do you have a minute for gay rights?" FML
Today, a stranger told me how proud he was that my boyfriend and I were so open with our sexuality. For the past three years, most strangers have thought we're a pair of gay men. I'm a woman. FML
Today, three women came into my work and one was wearing a shirt with a rainbow that said, "We are everywhere". I had just gotten what it was referring to and when I greeted them I ended up saying "Hi gays!" instead of the standard "Hi guys". FML
Today, I was taking my boyfriend to the mall. In the parking lot I pointed out an old man in a vibrant pink sweater who was leaving by saying "He is so gay." My boyfriend got out of the car and walked towards the man calling "Hey Papaw!" It was his grandfather. FML
Today, while I was out with my wife and kids, I saw a happy gay couple and it reminded me of the life I could've had if I wasn't raised by such strict religious homophobic grandparents. FML
Today, as I was walking with my boyfriend, holding hands, a woman began screaming at us about how we "f*ggots" are "ruining America." I'm a girl. FML
Today, I was walking out of a bar when someone grabbed me by the throat, and slammed me against a wall, saying "Stop fooling around with my wife, because next time - I'll kill you." I'm gay and haven't been with a woman since 1985. FML
Today, someone very close to me came out of the closet. Normally I would fully support them, had we not just gotten married. FML
Today, my husband, who I love more than anything, announced that he was gay, couldn't live a lie anymore, and moved out of the house. I'm utterly devastated, and when I tried to cry to my friends, they said I should celebrate his courage and stop being selfish, then ran off to party with him. FML
Today, I came out of the closet. Now whenever I'm getting ready to go somewhere with my dad he says, "Lesgo, lesbo." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You know, not all male couples have men that both look very masculine. Not all lesbians are butch. Every couple and every relationship is different, regardless if you're gay, straight, lesbian, bi, etc. It could have been any number of things that would've made the other guy think that. Belonging to a gay community will teach you that. But everyone makes mistakes. It's apart of being human. Just shake it off.

Her husband probably didn't do anything because judging by the way she wrote it and used the exclamation mark, he was saying it in a happy, complimenty kinda way. And then after her husband probably laughed his ass off.

Ouch, at least he wasn't trying to be a jerk... I hope... Maybe you could grow your hair out. I wonder how your husband felt. :

Maybe she has too much hair. At which point, shave that shit.

I think people should just mind their own business. You don't see people go up to hetero couples and do that, so don't do it to **** couples either. They probably hear it all day and it gets annoying.

He's not all there if he is willing to go out in public wearing a rainbow shirt.

He was probably gay himself. Duh.

My guess is that OP was wearing baggy cargo shorts, a baggy shirt, no makeup, and has a very short hair cut. Also guessing that OP unfortunately isn't very curvy. That sucks, but ydi kinda for, I'm guessing, leaving the house looking like a man. If you care about getting your gender mistaken, then take steps to make yourself look more feminine before leaving the house, lol.

Seriously. Lose a little weight, grow out your hair, and make a token effort at make-up. And don't give me that look, feminists. It takes me longer to shave every morning than it would take the OP to slap on a little lipstick.

Stop guessing. It's bad for your intelligence. Or perhaps, lack thereof, in this case

Agreed. If looking like a man bothers you, do something about. Otherwise stop crying.

That was my thought. If it bothers you so much try NOT looking like a dude k?

... Because maybe she likes herself the way she is and she didn't really think about it before then?

If you're ugly enough to be mistaken for a man, YDI for going outside without a mask on.
