Today, three women came into my work and one was wearing a shirt with a rainbow that said, "We are everywhere". I had just gotten what it was referring to and when I greeted them I ended up saying "Hi gays!" instead of the standard "Hi guys". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was shopping at a supermarket. As I was about to pay for my items, I noticed the cashier was very cute. Trying to be nice, I smiled. She smiled back and said, "Hello, how are you?" Instead of saying, "I'm good" or, "I'm okay", I said, "I'm gay". FML
Today, I had a job interview. When I got there, the lady interviewing me shook my hand and said, 'Hello, I'm gay.' I found this strange and I didn't know what to say, so I stated, 'Aw, it's OK, I support you.' She looked pretty offended, and I realized why when I found out that her name was Gaye. FML
Today, I was walking with my husband, holding hands, when a man with a rainbow shirt on came up to us. He said, "I'm so glad that gay men can go out in public without being embarassed nowdays!" He patted me on the back and walked away. I'm a woman. FML
Today, there was a new and extremely attractive girl at youth group, so I decided to introduce myself. Her reply was, "Wow, I've always wanted to meet a gay guy!" FML
Today, as two of my students walked into my classroom, I said, "Hi, ladies". One of them screamed at me: "Did you just assume my gender?!" FML
Today, a co-worker passed me a note with information about one of our cute, new co-workers I was interested in. Her report? Simple: "Lesbian. Try again. They're EVERYWHERE!" FML
Today, after I spaced out for 3 minutes, the guy in front of me asked if I was interested in him. I replied that I'm not gay. It turns out "he" was a woman, not a guy. FML
Today, I found out everybody at work thinks I'm a lesbian because they thought my boyfriend was a girl. FML
Today, I saw a lesbian couple walking through the mall. One of the ladies walked up to me in the middle of the busy mall and started screaming at me about how rude it is to stare, and how we are all equal- straight or not. I was only staring because I'm a lesbian too, and they were hot. FML
Today, while shopping, a few giggling girls came up to me and asked why I was wearing a dress in public. Highly confused, I didn't answer. When they walked away laughing, I realized they thought I was a man. I'm a woman. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You wear a shirt that says that, you can't be offended by "Hey, gays!". It's a little funny. A little. :)

I live in SoCal - we refer to everyone here as "you guys". Just like in the south more than one person is "y'all". Guys doesn't always mean "male".

lol they probably weren't offended, they didn't really have a reason to be. but on another note, to an extent I kind of have to agree with #35. You don't have to be gay to experience all of those things. Just different period; different sexuality, different skin color, different religious beliefs, etc. While I don't have a problem with gay pride, it's not fair to say that others don't have to deal with inequality just because they're not homosexual.

Yeah, and? Were they offended? I would assume with a shirt like that they could laugh it off.

I think your life is f'ed iff something bad happened as a result. A slip of the tongue is just a slip of the tongue, unless someone took offense to it, causing a scene. Or if your boss overheard you and took some form of disciplinary action. Still, funny story nonetheless.

Whoops! Hope they were good-natured about it. I would be. :)

@ #32 - yeah, except you do. you can get married, nobody really calls anyone a fag seriously anymore, that's so old. you can't get fired, you idiot. if you're fired, it's for another reason, and not for your sexuality. get your facts straight.

Actually in many states you can still be fired for being gay. Also most states you can't marry if you're gay there are only a few that have allowed gays to marry so far, and there are states like Cali, and parts of NY, that allowed gay marriage and then took the right away again. So discrimination against non-heterosexuals is pretty intense.

excuse me, have you ever been gay? so how would you know? i know many people who've been harassed for their sexuality, including myself. just because its against the law to discriminate and fire someone because of sexuality or race or whatever, does not mean it still doesnt happen. grow up. the world isnt perfect

PROBABLY NOT TRUE. and for that reason, FYL. "Hey gays!" seriously? if it is true, you should probably find a new job where you treat people with respect when you greet them.

You should've just covered it up by pretending to have a funny accent. It's the only logical solution.

Actually, #10. For a gay person's preferance in the same sex, people think of it as a choice. It certainly isn't a choice, it's how they live. Most people are fine with colored races because they know it's not a choice, and it doesn't differ them from other people. When it comes to gays, however, people treat it as a poor decision, and find it disgusting and immoral. It's really digusting how they think it's digusting.
