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!

How would you know it was a lesbian symbol if you're not a lesbian? BUSTED! ...kidding. That's a either a clear message or a misunderstanding.

Uhm... maybe she's not terribly into the idea of you marrying her son. You know... she might be hinting. Though, on the other hand, she could be an absolute dunce concerning that kind of thing, like my own mother.

Eh to an older woman who grew up in a time when homosexuality wasn't as accepted it may look like two intertwined wedding bands and crosses. I would try to talk to her about it, or maybe ask your fiance how to best handle it without hurting her feelings. You could even wear a necklace that maybe has been in your family and say it's tradition. I wouldn't read into it that much though.

Maybe she doesn't know. You might think it's a "well known symbol", but lot of people just don't know. Me for example. :) I have no idea what lesbian / homosexual symbol looks like. I don't care really.

A 'well known symbol'? WTF is it, a pair of boobs?

Well, if the "son" was originally a daughter before a sex change, then technically you are gay. lol.

Your soon to be mother in law is old of course, and lacks any knowledge of the modern culture.

I'd say she didn't know, or she's giving you a hint. Either way, marry him.
