Today, my wife and I were planning our nursery for our future child. She said that we'd be painting it pink either way. I asked what would happen if we had a boy. She said "Oh, he'll be gay" with a menacing glare. I'm worried. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband and I went for our 20 week scan and found out we're having a girl. The first thing he said to me was, "The next one better be a boy or I'm leaving you". FML
Today, my brother came out to our family as being gay. My mother starting crying because she "wanted grandchildren." I told her that I was planning on having children. She started crying harder. FML
Today, I was told by my wife that we were going to be parents. We are both females. 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, I came out to my parents. I don't really fit any stereotype, I'm just an average guy who happens to be into guys. Ten minutes later, I overheard my mother say to my step-dad, "Should we redecorate his room pink?" FML
Today, my wife and I went shopping for new glasses at a local store, but we didn't really get to actually buying one. On our way back, she warned me that my glasses of choice should in no way be 'those big arty ones'. When I asked her why not, she told me that I 'look gay enough already'. FML
Today, I admitted to my wife that I'd really like to get a Prius, but I was worried that if I did, everyone would question my sexuality. She told me, "I don't know why you care, everyone already thinks you're gay." FML
Today, in a waiting room, my 4-year-old daughter told me she saw two guys kissing. I quietly explained that some men like men, they're gay, and normal like everyone else. I was pleased with myself until the woman across from me scoffed and muttered, "Disgusting." FML
Today, I came home to find that my girlfriend had repainted my bedroom. As she had offered to do it, it shouldn't have been a problem. However, she decided to return the several unopened cans of off-white paint that I'd bought for something "more neutral." Like "Sunset Orange." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that he is homophobic. This wouldn't be such a big deal, if my mother wasn't a lesbian. He doesn't know this yet, and I'm afraid to tell him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Look on the bright side, if the kid turns out to be a boy and if he becomes gay at least he has an accepting mother.

YDI for not standing up to your wife. You're acting like her bitch. Go with a neutral color...or wait until you find out the sex of the baby.

I really want the OP to follow up this story in like 15 years if they have a boy... I want to hear about the argument the wife and son get into because she wants him to be gay and he isn't. Some people are so stupid it scares me. Or hey, maybe he really will be gay and the OP is psychic.

I did exactly the same thing except when looking at babies clothes I just say "I want a little girl to dress her up in the little cute dresses!!!!! even if it's a boy I'm still going to dress him up in cute little dresses cos I want him to be gay!!"

ok i am not racist against gays at all honestly i have heaps of gay friends and the profession that im in encourages heaps of support for the gay community but i have to be honest.. i would never be able to accept if one of my future children turned gay. i dont care what any of you say because it would be hard on any of you. i doubt someone would say "oh thats wonderful darling, good for you!" you all tease people about being gay so no one should try to hide it. just the way certain people have been raised teaches them that being gay is wrong and thats the way i feel too. just my opinion and who am i to judge? i would never try to change anyone and its not about being a homophobe.. its just personal preference.. good luck op

First off, homosexuality is not a race. Therefore you cannot be racist against a homosexual. You can be a bigot or prejudice but you cannot be racist.

second of all, why would it be hard? I don't get it. if my son brings home a boyfriend, I'll be happy for him. I dont understand what the big deal is. love isn't about the gender, it's about the person.

first of all it is impossible to be racist against gays as it is your sexual preferance, you are still caucasion/black/asian etc whether gay or straight, that is your race. Second you cannot start out by saying you have no problem with them and end up saying you do and thats your preferance. You have a problem with them, maybe only in your subconcous but it is there. and to everyone come on people a pink room will not make a gay boy and a blue room will not make a lesbian. "gendered" colors are culture specific and often change, throughout history and even currently there are cultures that believe pink is a masculine color.

Lol that's actually really funny. I knew from the time I found out I was having a baby that it was a girl. Mother's intuition I guess. Maybe OP's wife just knows. I totally would have done that if I had had a nursery to paint for my daughter lol

It's not like having a pink room would even have anything to do with him being a gay man when he grows up. I'm sure she was joking, and you probably paniced a bit because you have issues with really having a gay child. A whole bunch of guys wear pink now anyway, it's not like they're all homosexual because of it. Come on, it's a damn colour. Maybe you should grow up a bit, and realize that looking at a colour doesnt control your sexuality.

Read the words to the song "A Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash. He'll be tougher for it.

bro, she is messed up. I have nothing against gay people, seeing as I am gay. but she's got issues. you don't decide a child's sexuality for them. most likely, if it is a boy, it won't be gay and you'll have a miserable boy in a pink room.
