Today, my soon to be mother-in-law sent me a birthday present. It was a necklace for me to wear at my wedding. The pendant is a well known lesbian symbol. I'm a woman and I'm marrying her son. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my fiancé's mother gave me a beautiful cross necklace to wear for my wedding. I'm Jewish. FML
Today, my mother-in-law gave me a toaster and a fork as a wedding gift. FML
Today, I told my mom that I’m a lesbian. She was fine with it, supported me 100%, and it was a huge relief, until she followed up with, “Until you find a husband, then you’ll obviously have to stop all that.” The reason I even told her is because my girlfriend just proposed to me, and we’re engaged. FML
Today, I was bitched out by my shrew of a mother for getting engaged, to a man. She's not homophobic, but rather pissed off because gay marriage is "trendy" and she wants me to be "above that nonsense". Hurray for love. FML
Today, my husband bought me a beautiful pair of earrings for my birthday, to match the necklace he'd spent months searching for online the previous year. What necklace? He gave me a watch he found at Walmart last year. I wonder who the lucky girl with the necklace is. FML
Today, I found out that my ex gifted a special handcrafted necklace I made for him to his new girlfriend. She wears it on all her socials. FML
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, my fiancé told me he wants to buy an engagement ring for his mother, so that she doesn't feel left out. FML
Today, my boyfriend's mom bought us matching purity rings. FML
Today, my mother beamingly asked for my opinion on her wedding dress. She is engaged to her cousin. Conveniently, they already have the same last name. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

A well-known lesbian symbol? I don't think I could identify a lesbian symbol...maybe she doesn't know what it means?

Are you from small-town, inbred hick Southern USA? no wonder.

Why the **** would not knowing a lesbian symbol make you from a hick town in Southern USA? I'm from Boston and I couldn't name one.

Obviously, if a lot of us are wondering about these "well-known lesbian symbols" then they aren't as well known as the OP assumes. Perhaps it's a local thing. Not knowing doesn't make someone a small town hick anymore than your rudeness and prejudice make you an ideal human.

Maybe she didn't know? Old people don't always know about things like that.

She probably didn't mean anything by it. Maybe she thought it was pretty and you'd like it. OR, maybe she does think you're a lesbian. Or as #51 said, she probably does know what it means.
