Today, I went out for coffee with a guy I really like. We met up at the local café, and decided to sit at a counter in front of the window. We talked and flirted for a while. Then he kissed me, and while he was kissing me someone banged on the window. It was my parents. They didn't know I'm gay. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went on a coffee date with the man I've been in love with for a while. Before I knew what was going on, he'd started chatting up a pretty girl sitting nearby. I had to drink my coffee alone while he got her number. FML
Today, at a party, I watched the guy I've liked for AGES come out of a bedroom with one of my gay male friends. They were in there for a while. FML
Today, I went to grab a coffee at a new café in town. While sipping my coffee, I noticed a man staring at me through the window. I thought he was browsing the menu before I looked up mid-sip to him staring at me in the eye, sucking on his finger. FML
Today, I went to a party where I met an amazing guy. After having great conversation all night and what I thought was a serious connection, I leaned in to kiss him. He screamed, forcefully pushed my face away with his hand, and said he was gay. FML
Today, I was going to walk up to my crush, kiss him, and tell him how I felt. We are already kind of touchy with each other, so I thought he liked me back. I walked up to him and kissed him. He kissed me back, then gently pushed me away. He quietly whispered, "I'm gay." Then walked away. FML
Today, I went out for coffee with my sister and my crush. I spent the majority of the date flirting with my crush, and when he dropped us off at home, I told him I had fun on our date. He looked at me surprised and said he'd thought I'd tagged along on his date with my sister. FML
Today, I finally opened up to my roommates about when I came out as gay to my parents, and how I was beaten and disowned over it. One roommate saw this as the perfect time to hit on me, since he's also gay and thought I was hot, but wasn't sure if I swung that way. Glad he was so invested in me pouring my guts out. FML
Today, I went with my dad to Starbucks. There is this really cute guy who works there and he kept looking over at me, so I went over to say hi. He ended up asking if my dad was single. FML
Today, I had a date with a guy. We ran into our gay friend at the theater, who insisted on coming along. My date was pissed, but I couldn't turn our friend away. Afterwards, my date texted our friend, mad because he crashed the date. Turns out he isn't gay. And only crashed it because he likes me. 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

#1 is right... if you did tell them before though, make them feel horrible for not listening to you. Don't worry about it though, if you like someone go for it. Don't let anyone change who you are, especially your parents, they have too much control over you as it is.

#30- I don't really care when two guys kiss in public, or two girls, or a guy and a girl. As long as they keep it classy and don't go overboard, it's not a big deal. So I'd say your theory that "no one wants to see what you two were doing" is a pretty big generalization. And it's not disrespectful to kiss in public on a first date...it's called normal?

They were kissing for long enough for his parents to walk up, recognize, and pound, thats not a classy first date kiss.

No one wants to see anyone going at it in public, but it doesn't matter if you're gay or straight. If the fact that it's a gay couple makes people upset, OH ******* WELL. There are people who still get upset at interracial couples but you'd look like the bigot you are if you said 'No one wants to see someone with this skin color and that skin color...IN PUBLIC...blah blah blah' As far as your parents, banging on the window...yikes. Then again they might've done the same if you were kissing a girl inappropriately in public especially if you're young. As far as 'telling people'...ffs, hetero people don't have to say 'Mom, Dad...I'm heterosexual'. Granted, it's a bit more unusual to be bisexual or homosexual, but I hate the whole 'having the talk' idea. Simply be who you are. And when you say shit like 'I'm not sure who's hotter, Capt. Jack or Gwen on Torchwood...I'd do either one of them' people might get the idea you're bisexual. Or maybe that's just me. ;)

I must say you had it coming. If you didn't come out to your parents and then kissed a man in public where anyone could see it... that's just not smart.

Ohhhh bummer, dude. #40, What are the chances that they would've seen him in the whole city? What if his parents are the kind that would try to send him to some bible camp? Not every parent is accepting, some are very cruel about it, and coming out should be a personal thing, when you're ready.
