Today, it's been 1 month since I've accepted that I'm gay, 1 week since telling my strict, southern baptist, bible-thumping parents, 1 day since my mom stopped crying and my dad finally spoke to me, and 1 hour since discovering that I'm pregnant. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I finally decided to tell my parents I was a lesbian. They spent the next few hours reading me the bible. FML
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, I learned that despite having told them two years ago, my parents still aren't accepting of me being gay. I found this out when my mom called and asked if I was "cured" yet. FML
Today, I came out as bisexual while we were in the car. My mom started crying behind the steering wheel, driving at 85 mph. She later told my dad, even though I asked her not to. My dad said, "Give it a month, he'll grow out of it." I realized I was bi 4 years ago. FML
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
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, 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 finally told my parents I'm trans. My dad started crying and told me he loved me no matter what. My mother threw a chair at me, and told my dad it was his "wife-like" behaviour that made me this way. She then prayed out loud for an hour for God to send her a real husband and son. 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

Girl, you seem to be in a world of hurt. I'm not sure which is worse to them: That you're gay or that you had sex before marriage, or that you got pregnant.

Neither. It'll be the abortion she'll no doubt be getting.

They'll be thrilled! They must have been upset that they will never get grandchildren from you if you are gay.

You do realise that gay couples can adopt, right?
jkjorn 18
That's not quite the same in some people's minds. There, fixed that for ya.

You know that's completely false, right? I'm gay buy my womb isn't and my kids are very real, asshole

It's quite possible for lesbians to have natural children via artificial insemination, whether they go to a sperm bank, have a friend donate, or have a relative of one donate to the other. And given how many kids need good homes, there's no reason to disallow same-sex couples from adopting.

I've never wanted to give a comforting hug through my screen more than right now. I hope you find some safe way through all this.

So are you just gay? or bi? or did you have a boyfriend just so that your parents are happy? The pregnancy was a real twist to this FML

She JUST accepted that she's gay. Like many gay woman she tried dating guys first, even trying to be sexually active with at least one. This is sadly not uncommon due to various hetero-normative social pressures, particularly in this case when she had "southern baptist, bible-thumping parents".

I love that song! “Like Harrison Ford, I’m getting frantic. Like Sting, I’m Tantric. Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy!”

Wow... I know that some people need to test it out by having sex if they’re gay, straight or bi, but... Wow, honey... Being gay is a natural thing, it isn’t your fault and there is nothing wrong with it at all. If your parents love you, religious or not, they will always love you and accept you, because you are their little girl. But, like, for the pregnancy thing, could you not have waited to get out of their house and live on your own for this? I get teenage rebellion, believe it or not, I was a teenage girl once too, but like, you only have one life, and throwing it away for a kid when you’re so young is not the way to go. I feel so bad, because honey this baby you’re gonna be stuck with. Adoption is an expensive option for both parties involved, and I doubt your parents are gonna let you abort. Well... I guess congrats on the baby, if you’re into that

Unless I missed something OP never said she was a teenager living at home. Just because she told her parents and they are upset and crying doesn't mean she lives there it could just mean she talks to them. According to your profile your 22 so don't give that "believe it or not I was a teenager too" bullshit your bairly older then a teenager. With your view of being a parent as "being stuck with it" you should avoid ever even thinking about being one.

Adoption, at least where I'm from, is free for the pregnant woman. I had both my kids adopted and everything was paid for by the family.

"But, like, for the pregnancy thing, could you not have waited to get out of their house and live on your own for this?" Lol yeah, please wait for an unexpected and unwanted pregnancy to be at least unexpected and unwanted in a better situation.
