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!

You need to ask your fiancee about this... if it turns out to be nothing, she probably just didn't know.

I'm guessing it's the two interlocked female symbols, like the one somebody linked at http://www.glyni.org.uk/assets/images/being_gay_grphx/sym_les.gif (♀♀). I think an older person unfamiliar with the ♀ and ♂ symbols could legitimately think that ♀♀ looks like two people side-by-side, ready to spend their lives together, and thus perfect for a wedding.

Burn a bra at the afterparty. Make sure it's one of hers.

I'm a lesbian and forgot what 'well known symbol' you meant till it was mentioned here... and I didn't know there was a lesbian fairy at all. Maybe I fail at gay culture, but perhaps ur straight mother in law just didn't know. if you get along in general, assume she really is clueless. if you don't get along, then maybe it's a problem.

I've heard that a dolphin is considered a lesbian symbol. Was it a dolphin? Because those are popular jewelry items, especially in Florida!

It could be possible she don't know what it means. My grandmother does stuff like that. She bought all her kids a small figure in Mexico several years ago. It appears two people are wrestling. They are actually having sex. She never knew until it was pointed out. So ask her about it. It could be just an honest mistake.
