Today, my father contacted me for the first time in years to ask about my upcoming wedding, and possibly walking me down the aisle. He claimed the only reason he left was because he thought I'd be gay. I am. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad told me he liked men. While he was making a drunken speech. At my wedding. FML
Today my dad asked if he could walk me down the aisle at my wedding. I was just too speechless to respond. He asked me on my doorstep, at 2 a.m., which was also our first ever meeting since he abandoned my mom when she was 5 months pregnant with me, and just disappeared for 28 years. FML
Today, my father got married. He left me a voicemail to tell me all about it. FML
Today, my dad, who lives hours away, called and told me he was getting married. Today. As in this evening. Guess I'm not invited. 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 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 asked my dad if he'd like to see the photos of my wedding, which he didn't bother to come to. Reply: "What the fuck, are you gay or something? Keep that homo stuff to yourself." My wife started laughing so hard she was crying. FML
Today, I heard my boyfriend talking with my father in the backyard. I thought he was asking for my hand in marriage. He was actually telling him about his plans to break up with me. FML
Today, I found my dad drunk, sitting on the bathroom floor crying. When I asked him why, he said, "My son is gay." I'm his only child, and I'm a girl. FML
Today, I found out that my parents have thought I'm lesbian for at least a year. I now understand why my dad has been trying to get me to "hang out" with his co-worker's daughter. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What an asshole. Someone like that doesn't deserve to walk you down the aisle. I hope you have a beautiful wedding with people who really care about you

Don't give him the time of day by letting him walk you down the isle when he deliberately chose to stay out of your life. Good luck with the wedding and congrats!

I say you should agree just to see the look on his face when he walks you down the aisle towards your gay partner >:D Congrats, btw! Hope you'll have a wonderful wedding! :D

I thought the same thing but weddings are stressful enough already... No need to add the drama of the homophobic asshole absentee dad on top of it all. Enjoy your special day OP! Be glad you found your someone special. That's great for you both! Best of luck to the new spouses :)

Bluntly tell him that he hasn't done anything to earn the privilege of walking you down the aisle.

Your "father" shouldn't have left in the first place. Especially for an excuse like that. Don't let him ruin your special day. Have a wonderful wedding and congratulations!
