When their voices started cracking and they started crying I started crying. Recently my best friend came out to me and told me that she was gay and I didn't know how to react at first, but I was raised to love everyone and that it doesn't matter what their skin color is or their sexuality is. I grabbed her by the hand and asked her if she had a girlfriend and she said yes and she pointed at my other best friend. I smiled at both of them and gave them both a hug and a kiss on the cheek and just smiled, I honestly am so proud of them and they are still dating till this day. You guys are beautiful human beings, I love you boys and stay strong😙
I'm so glad their dad is such a good guy. "You *are* normal, what do you mean?" That's probably the sweetest and most truthful thing I've heard in months. I'm so glad he respects them, we need more people like this.
What an amazing dad! Every single parent should be like that, no judgement or understanding and acceptance. My brother came out last year after talking to my mum and we love him all the same so great to see a parent so accepting💜
My dad used to make gay jokes when I was lime 12 years old. But when I reached 15, he told me: I know I made many gay jokes when you were younger, but trust me, those were nothing more than this, jokes. I know you are not gay, but if it turned out that you were, my love for you will NEVER change.
YunJeong Kim some people are like that it’s so scary!! My friend can yawn and start tearing up and look like she had a melt down where as I can cry for 3 straight hours and be called out to dinner and look like normal XD
My conservative (L.D.S) Mormon dad told me I was an abomination and mom called me a slut for thinking men were attractive. 13 years later, they accept me 🌈
I don't understand why people hate on them; This is beautiful. You can show their dad doesn't care and loves both of them the same exact way. I'm Christian, But I believe God would accept humans to love anyone they want.
Caedíte eos Okay, you're a sinner. What makes you better than them being sinners as well? Nothing. stealing from someone is a sin, you've lied before, what makes you better than them? Nothing. The thing is, that if we're all sinners, why can't we just live in peace? No one is greater, or less than anyone.
I sincerely hope more Christians are like you. This comment section is filled with hate and ignorance. And they've become the face of this religion. I hope people like you can speak louder, otherwise they are going to represent all of you.
Fish Lee I've known her for a while and we are both Christian and those haters need to step the fudge away because they don't know what they're talking about, I just don't know what's wrong with people thinking that everyone has to believe in the same exact thing or you're hated on....
I was raised by homophbic parents and i remember watching on tv two gay guys getting married and my parents said a lot of bad things about them, so i grew up to be homophbic myself but after a while i discovered that there is nothing wrong with being gay or lesbian or bi or pan or transgender, saw a video of a guy coming out to his little brother and he was like i am still me and it made me cry, i then started questioning my own sexuality, i first knew that i was bi but then i discovered that i am not attracted to women at all and that i am gay... I am proud of who i am and i love myself, my parents might disown me if they knew about it but at least i am not living in a prison and i can finally be free
I completely understand how that feels my parents didn’t get the chance to explain to me what gay was (it just never came up and there was no good time to tell me) and in 4th grade someone said something something gay and I asked what gay was and they said “oh it’s when to boys or girls like each other and it means that you hate you life and your going to hell” this didn’t seem right to me but I was to scared to say anything because I was already being bullied by many kids in my class also had a teacher who didn’t care and allowed for the bullying to continue. I remember being pressured to bully these to boys who idk if they were even gay but I remember yelling EWWW THATS GAY at them I feel even to this day regret and so much shame for doing that now 3 years later I am in a much better place I’m a lesbian I’ve told my friends and family and it was meet with understanding and kindness and I’ve left that school and my days of bullying behind.
How did you guys come out? Everytime I try to, something interrupts me and I end up not telling them. I talked to my mom about different sexualities and she thinks gays an lesbians are okay, but she says that bisexuals are slutty because they're attracted to both gender. Like, are you kidding me? Just because they're attracted to both boys AND girls doesn't mean they're gonna go around getting it with everyone. And it's even worse because I'm pansexual which means I don't only like two genders, I've also been attracted to other sexualities and I'm pretty sure my ma would think I'm "worse" than bi.
Wow, can't stop crying.. Didn't expect it.. But let me say, YOUR FATHER ROCKS! Seriously he does! "You are normal". That's the quote that touched me. Anyway, what's more heartbreaking is to see the stress you two were under before letting your father know. There should never be stress given to a person for letting a loved one know their truth. Coming out should be similar to saying "Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you.... I like Ice Cream". Anyway, I know this video has blessed millions around the world.. Your video now belongs to the ages. Thank you for sharing your truth with a couple of your friends (23 million friends).
+Salty B. McGee It is not a brain disease to fall in love with someone of the same gender. It's completely stupid to think someone should fall in love with genitalia instead of the person themself.
*how I came out to my mom:* Me: spouts random facts and definitions of different sexualities Mom: are you tryna tell me something? Me: repeats definition of bisexuality over and over Mom: got it
@@carrotcake3664 aww sorry hon..my dad doesn't even know my sexuality. He knows I'm hetero but I'm not. I made Genderqueer, Bisexual, and Pan flags along with a Pride flag. I hope he gets the message but if not Imma go drink bleach
5:44 I love him for saying that, a lot of parents can't seem to understand that and the fact that by being gay, their kids are not sick in ANY way, mentally or physically. They are being human in the most realest way
@@kc782 almost the same, I told my parents I had a girlfriend and my dad said "we love you, no matter what you are" but my mom said "don't label yourself at such a young age" I think if my mom was more accepting I would be much happier... but at least my dad accepts me and I've not yet been taken to a therapist because of the fact I'm a lesbian...
Me coming out to my mum Me: mum I have something to say *starts shaking* *awkward silence* Me: I’m B-bi Mum: I know Both: *start crying* She wasn’t the first person I came out to but she was definitely the scariest I’m so happy I did it
My sister's bisexual. She came out to close friends and me. But not to our parents...We're pretty sure they said that being gay/bisexual etc is not right. So she's pretty scared...
My coming out story Me: I like girls (nervous af and shaking) Mom: that's ok but you dont have to claim anything right now you're only twelve. Me:kinda disappointed and upset because I expected a hug or something and I got a "your to young to know"
The "you are normal, what do you mean? " made me loose it. Im straight and cant help myslelf but to cry when i come across a video like this!! I cried my heart out. What an amazing father! You guys are lucky and blessed! Keep youtubing people love it! I am a very feminine straight guy and was always made fun of. In a way I whish I was gay so I could do talks and speeches in schools and community centers about it!
Dude, same. I’m so glad there are people out there like you that understand how important just those small words were… my dad told me, “I will go to my grave regretting every decision I made with you…” he could’ve just said that, but… I forgave him even if he never asks. But thank you for giving me hope that you and other dudes out there will reassure your kids that above all else, you love them and they are normal. Lol. Sorry, I know you didn’t ask and I know I’m late late, but… thanks. Got in my damn feels lol.
Also, you don’t have to be gay to do those talks and speeches. There are other feminine straight guys that probably NEED to hear your story. Just center it around Anti-Bullying or something like that.
@@dylangrayson9190 I am so glad you forgave him! There are probably generations separating you and your father... We cannot understand the environment in which he was raised probably as much as he his having problems understanding today's society.... I realized this back in 2014-2015. I was working on a project in East Africa and got to see multiples communities where they don't know anything but to surrender and cannot even comprehend how important they ideas and presence is important. Every living thing on earth as a purpose and I believe that if a gay, trans, hetero, flower or any other living thing was put here is for a reason and they deserve as much as others. Keep up! I'm glad someone was helped by my comment!
Okay, wow, watching in 2018 and just watching you two in tears trying to work up the courage to tell your dad... shit, you guys are awesome. This is the first video I've seen you guys and it won't be the last. And now I'm in tears.
Jason Kalique It's not like he really has a choice. Either accept it while being filmed by his ungrateful children or be seen on camera as not accepting his gay sons and be labeled as a homophobe and a terrible parent forever.
BJMcB92 You really think the twins would have published the video if their father didn't approve it? I really don't think so, they seem to be very close. It's the parent who choose his/her own reaction. If the child is gay that's a fact, regardless what the parents think about it.
***** doesnt it make this story more interesting. growing up together surely they know each other sensitive spots. that will make their sex life even more perfect. i wish i had a gay twin. LMAO
If I have a son/daughter and they were nervous about telling me they are gay, but are you blunt about. "Dad, I'm gay" "Hello gay, I'm dad." I'd say that just to lighten the mood.
My daughter is 13 and few months ago she asked "mom how would you feel if I liked girls?" When I said I didn't care ether way as long as she's happy and whoever's shes with is nice to her that's all that matters. She visibly relaxed...it makes sad that kids feel so much anxiety and fear just being who they are ❤
I have 2 sons and if one of them ever came out to me I would hug them and say I love you and I support you 100%. You are my son and that will never change. I love you unconditionally. I believe in God and I believe he loves everyone! Hate does not exist in him. And neither should it in all you so-called christians. Just know that when your time comes God will judge you just like you are doing to these boys. God bless you all and have a nice day.
I don't think straight people realise how much courage it takes to come out, especially to your parents. And we don't just come out once, but every time we meet new people. It takes courage to live openly and honestly as a gay man in a straight world.
I think the straight guys can understand us, and the people today are very friendly, well 1950 its was maybe not a good time but today ? Come on boy :/
"you are normal, what do you mean?" i'm fucking crying. i still can't come out to my parents, but i know i would never ever get such a nice response they would start shouting at me n i'll die
I'm not gay, but these comments are unbelievably pathetic... I can't believe there are still people out there, hating or beating up homosexuals. It is NOT a disease. The way they are crying might tell more words than the whole video. Gay or not, nobody deserves to be punished. There are even people discussing about the fact that this was uploaded on TH-cam. This video wasn't for advertising purposes, but for helping others. Yet some people in the comments call them disgusting for helping others? I don't even... The fact that this hate still happens in 2015 makes me sick...
I believe that they start crying before to say anything because maybe they felt ashamed about who they really are, and it's sad that society makes us feel that way about anything :( but the good part is that everything ends in a happy way!
I don't like the fact it's been put on TH-cam because it should have been a private conversation with their dad. They'd have been a lot better making a video about the conversation rather than showing the ACTUAL conversation. They didn't ask his permission to put it on TH-cam (at least, I didn't catch that bit?). If I was their dad I'd be pissed.
i told my mom and she got so exited! she started saying “omg i knew it! i knew it! you’re gonna be so happy now! and thats the only thing that matters, im proud of you and i love you”
i think your father is diplomatic, understanding... and honestly the coolest. he just tells you to live your lives. God bless you and your whole family! and i will keep in touch .
I told my father that I was a heroin addict and he abandoned me like he has done all of my life. I'm five months clean as of yesterday and he still won't come around. You all have a wonderful, supporting father that didn't run for the hills at the first sign of turmoil. I praise you for being yourselves in such a hateful world. Although society has become more acceptable to same sex couples, not everyone can open their eyes. Whether it be their religion or personal beliefs that block out that peace in their hearts, you took a chance and won. I'm not gay nor have I ever wanted to explore the lifestyle. I just liked drugs and my father couldn't accept that. Maybe one day he will come back but by then I will have moved on. Call your father and tell him you love him every chance you get because I don't get that opportunity.
I remember watching this video for the first time when it came out 5 years ago and I was 17 and I thought "wow, these guys are so brave and incredible in that they're able to do this and then go and post it on a platform like youtube, I could never." Here I am now, 5 years later at 22 finally starting that journey of coming out to friends and family and it's just surreal to me. I had to come back and rewatch this and leave this comment bc this video was such a catalyst of strength in my journey which probably started even more than 5 years ago, but now the exciting chapters are just beginning. Thanks, y'all.
Me too! Just watched today I'm sitting here crying like it was ME having to do that! Then immediately I felt happy after they told him! I can't imagine how HARD it is to come out.
Me: hey mum I’m need to tell you something Mum: ok what? Me: I’m gay Mum: I’d be more shocked if you told me that your straight Ooooffff 😂😂 Edit: yes that is a true story
I remember that the first person that I came out to was my brother's girlfriend. She helped me a lot in this situation and helped me telling my family. Thank God they were all accepting this even if I was frightened what my father and my grandparents would say. After all they were very supportive and loved me as the person that I am. Best of luck to you guys and thanks for sharing this moment.
Well done guys :) there are now more and more of us on TH-cam. This platform gives us room to have a voice. Although television and other traditional media is changing, it is a slow process. Every time someone comes out on TH-cam, you are helping others who are struggling somewhere in the world. You have my support. LET'S ALL BE FABULOUS.
Congratulations to the both of you. Having just come out 3 days ago on TH-cam I know how hard and scary this is. What an emotional video, so happy your dad was accepting.Good luck in the future, living an honest and open life guys
It’s kind of disturbing actually because we all kind of know that it started by them experimenting with each other 🤮 What are the odds that 2 twin boys are both gay.... weird AF! 😂 I bet the dad likes to get PEGGED in bed😂 Go look up what that is. Let me give you a hint... DILDO IN ASS😂😂😂😂😂 Anyway.. we all fall short because God told us how we are suppose to live you all. So I get people are normalizing it but still y’all!!! That don’t mean we should hate gay people or throw hate speech at them neither. We better than that. It just means we need to make it clear what’s right and what’s not. I’m a sinner.. just like you. So I can’t talk but the difference is I don’t try to normalize my sins and push that on kids causing confusion and deception. Anyway.. I don’t want to preach but I just want to say I hope 1 day these Brothers find Jesus and realize that he doesn’t want that for us. If they don’t.... at least repent and hope for a ticket into the kingdom. PEACE AND GODBLESS! (This is not hate.. just my thoughts out loud when watching this) ✌️
My coming out story Me:I like girls (nervous af and shaking) Mom: that's ok but you don't have to claim anything right now your only twelve. Me: (kinda disappointed and upset because I expected a hug or something and I got a "you to young to know")
I am a Muslim. Like Christianity and Judaism being gay is NOT permitted. I have two sons. After watching this I found myself reacting in a way I would never have imagined. After seeing you in so much pain for the love you have for your dad and what you were about to do. Gave me a change of heart. If it is a sin being gay. That's between individuals and their God on judgement day. Here, now living in THIS world it wouldn't stop me from loving my sons and still being a part of their life's. I wish you both well.
You're an amazing father. May you and your family live a long prosperous life full of many warm hugs and euphoric memories. Remember, a fathers greatest joy is seeing his family happy and a child's greatest accomplishment is to make their parents proud. Loving your kids for who they are, and being there with them through their journey is one of the greatest thing you could do for them. May the love of the world follow you. ♥
I must say, you two are absolutely courageous. Regardless of the situation I could NEVER just pick up the phone and do that. I had to get drunk at the beach in order to do what you guys just did. Imagine how hard it was for me, my dad is a pastor.
M Leun Harding-Burke Yeah... talk about a struggle. I wish I could say I got the same reaction. Once you're out on your own it doesn't really matter anymore.
Yesterday I came out as bi to my stepbrother. My parents and stepmom have passed away and never knew. My stepbrother told me: “you’ll always be my little brother! I love you” ❤️ THAT MEANT SOOOO MUCH TO ME!!!
It is not what one person feels; or even 8 billion people feel, but how the Lord; the great I AM, feels about going against His creation. God created male and female. Period.
@@cheese_cake_factory You KNOW exactly what I am saying. To repeat: It does not matter what man feels---or if all of 8 billion humans wanted it one way---God is not a democracy. He created us male and female. That's that. Like it or not.....
Boys I am a mum of a 20 year old son. I came to realisation a long long time ago that it wouldnt make a scrap of difference to me one way or the other if my son came home to me one day and told me he was gay. I will always love him no matter what. What you did here was very brave and but above all else you are being honest to yourselves and to the people who matter the most to you...your family. 'Whatever anyone else in the wider world says or thinks dosnt mean a single thing...Go out there live your lives and be good , productive and happy human beings..God Bless you both
M Leun Harding-Burke Like seriously over the span of two days you've left what must be like a hundred comments. I don't even think that's an exaggeration either. You may be homosexual, and adore these people, but if I were you I would have realised how much time I've wasted by now. Also, I'm not bashing on you at all for being gay, nor these two. I'm a bisexual myself.
I know right, if God didn't want us to be gay he would not have made us with feelings like that for the same sex. I am a Christian too and I think that it must just be a typo in the bible or something because God would not discriminate like that
This is so beautiful. My son just came out. I always knew and I love him so much and I want him to be happy. It breaks my heart to see you struggle, afraid that someone won’t love you any more because of who you are.
@@emeliasversion lmfao same. I need to get healthy. Will i stop buying a slice of cheese cake every day and eating 20% of my bodyweight in food per day? No... But i can fix my sleep
@@poisedperson6475 sameee. but like i’m in the process of getting healthier and let me tell you i feel so much happier and just better overall. i still will have 2 cookies for dessert every few days or have a snack that’s really unhealthy, but even then it just feels better when i’m eating a bit healthier. and remember that you will NEVER regret a workout once you’re finished with it!!
So uhm probably nobody will read this but here we go I wanted to thank you for uploading, it actually encouraged me to come out as genderfluid and ace to my family. I first came out to my younger, 12-year old brother, he reacted in the best ever way. After, I came out to my dad, he reacted positively as well. Then I had to come out to my mother. She didn't show any acceptance at all, she yelled at me , she got damn violent. I even had to go to hospital. Now I live with my dad. Even if I had to experience this, I'm really glad I came out in general, my dad's super supportive, loving and caring. Thank u guys for this encouragement.
Valentina Foresti I live in Canada. I'm just saying you could clearly see they are struggling with telling their father and I could feel their pain. And generally I try not to watch the news...
How I came out to my mom: Me: Mom! Mom: (she yells from the other room) What Honey!? Me: I’m bisexual! Mom: WUT! (She DIDNT HEAR ME 😐) Me: I AM BISEXUAL Mom: GOOD FOR YOU- OH ARE YOU COMING OUT?! I THINK I WOULD BE CONFUSED IF YOU WERE STRAIGHT Me: wut just happened
Congrats you two! This was absolutely incredible and touching. We know that the two of you will continue to be role models to everyone, especially the lgbt community!
Agreed. My mum told my brother and I that if either of us were to have been gay, she could live with that, and she'd still love us the same. Both my mum and I are Christians but we have very similar views on this.
umm... so my coming out story. my mom disowned me... like she literally took all the pillows on the couch and threw them at me, she threw holy water at me( she keeps this little jar on the living room table)... she called me the devil child and threw me out the house.. I moved out before I told her, she stopped talking to me and now we still aren't talking and I came out a year and a half ago.. but I guess oh well.. I have a stable income that provides me with what i need and more but I'm happy so..
I came out to my straight best friend and it was really surprising. He is a very manly guy he works out and loves sports so he is the stereotypical straight guy Everyone excluding my parents and aunts and uncles knew at this point and I was going to go to a movie with him and my 2 other friends. I told my best friend that I needed to talk to him and he said sure. It was an awkward place but I told him and his response was ‘’Bro I had a feeling but I didn’t feel the need to confront you so I waited until you told me yourself.'' I was scared that he was going to disown me as his best friend but the next thing he did was hug me for a whole minute and a half telling me that nothing could ever change his perspective of me and I would always be his best friend. I was crying throughout the movie and it was tears of joy. I freakin love my best friend!
As a christian, I do not agree that people should like the same gender but, I do accept it. I have a few friends that are lesbian or gay but, I do not treat them any differently than my other friends. Looking at some of these comments make me sick to my stomach. I understand if you have different morals and perspectives but, that gives you no right to be rude like that. These boys have a lot of courage posting this video and I'm very proud of them. Please no hate on this comment. It's just my opinion.
***** Hate, prejudice, intolerance - these are all learned behaviors. A child, playing on a playground, for example, doesn't know politics and will play with anyone. They don't care if another child has different colored skin, different colored hair, or even different parents. All they know is that they have someone to play with. It isn't until a child is told, normally by their parents, that they shouldn't play with certain others because they are 'different,' that a child will start to develop and learn to hate.
Thank you for your comments. I agree with Pheonix wooz. I am Christian but I realize I have been Bisexual all my life. It has been a very very difficult life trying to understand my feelings. I have lied to myself for so many years that I don't even know who I am until lately. Now that I understand myself and have accepted myself I have to learn to deal with it. As a bisexual you are in constant confusion. All I can say is my sexual attractions are as normal for me as a heterosexual guy is for a women. I have fought my feelings as long as I could . It is not a choice for me. It is who I am. GOD made me this way, and HE does not make mistakes.
Ken U How are you in agreement with Phoenix? I'm just curious, because, nothing in your statement, aside from both being Christian, supports what he/she stated.
See their tears straight people. Those reactions were so true. It's really hard to come out to our family. And pls don't make it hard. for us. Because it's really really hard to be gay.
I was forced to come out by my parents and for their harsh questioning which was not the way I wanted to do it, but it was like ripping off a band-aid. I'm glad I did it. It took a long time for them to accept it, but now they're so welcoming to my boyfriend at home. I love it. I'm one of the very few lucky ones.
Bruh a teacher in my school would always pick up on one gay boy cuz he was gay and she would tell him that he is not normal and make gay jokes and fun of him your teacher is amazing
How It should've went: Austin: dad, I'm gay. Dad: it's okay son Aaron: dad I'm gay too Dad: Does anyone of my children like girls? Sister: I do. Dad: ...
First off, congrats to you both for coming out to him. I know it's a big relief. Now on to the haters. I have a question for you: If you're so disgusted, so opposed, etc., why are you looking up videos like this in the first place? Go live your lives and mind your own business and STFU. If you want to live in such a negative state, that's YOUR neurosis. Keep it to yourself.
I'd like to add that I see an incredible pile of ignorance in the comments. A clue I'd like to share: It's a scientific FACT that about 10% of the population of non-human animals are same-gender oriented in at least 1800 documented species. So before you go crying "It's unnatural" maybe you should get your facts straight. Just because you don't know or understand something, just because it's different, does not mean it's Wrong. Gay people are NOT inherently less healthy in any way, either. Keep your ignoranc, insecurities and fears to yourselves.
Das Kitty If that's the way you wanna view it so be it. Your view is still a hell of a lot better than the people who think it's a choice that can be "cured". As long as you know that it can't be "cured" you can go ahead and find it disgusting and that's ok.
Actually, nature abhors a vacuum (like the void between your ears). Do you even believe the stupid junk you type, or are you just trying to rile people up? Thanks for helping reinforce my decision to steer clear of bothering to educate jerks like you. Melissa Etheridge, George Michael, David Geffen, Sir Elton John... the list is far longer than you can handle, all the way back to Michelangelo and Alexander the Great, all gay. But yeah, gay people are fucked in the head.... says the stupid "kitty". Whatever.
***** "maybe you should get your facts straight", facts can't be gay!!??! Why are you telling me to get my facts STRAIGHT when you're supporting samesex in the same comment. I'm so confused... (sarcastic if you couldn't tell) lol
Isn't this a great country, that you can be that fucking stupid, have that baseless an opinion, and still be allowed to run off at the fingers? At the very least, stop trying to proclaim what emotions people feel and why, when you don't even know them. Run on off now and badger someone who buys into your narrowminded doom-and-gloom perspective. Meanwhile, the rest of us will embrace enlightenment, recognizing that this is actually ushering in a new and better age of love, tolerance and prosperity for ALL living beings.
Actually bawling right now. That was so moving and it's so great to see supportive families. Feel you 100% because I'm still not fully out to my dad and it's terrifying even though I know he'd be fine with it.
Doctor Who Fan Elfin Ryan Thanks for the love! I'm sure he already knows (I talk about queer and trans issues a lot), I've just never said the words "I'm queer" to him.
***** Who I'd like to f**k doesn't normally come up in a conversation with my dad, ya know? So it can be difficult to put oneself out there. P.S. I'm not gay. There's a lot more letters in the LGBT+ acronym. kthnxbi
@All the haters that got removed by spam filters: Very creative use of homophobic slurs. 10/10. Also, I find it fascinating that you all assume I'm a gay man. Because I'm neither of those things. Queer / genderqueer. They/them/theirs or she/her/hers pronouns ;). Haters to the left.
Just watched your video and then read some of the comments... I'm a straight girl living in catholic Ireland and I even though I don't know you, I couldn't be more proud! To come out in this day and age should be easier than our last generations but it's not because there is still so much hate out there. Your dad loves you no matter what and that's what counts, it's no one else's business. So people who think they can give their opinion on how you live your life obviously have nothing better to do than to put you down. Be proud of who you are and who you love. xx
***** Feminism is fighting for equal rights for both men and woman and if you cant see that society needs that then your not mature enough to date. You don't get to choose being gay it just happens and its as natural as being straight society is the only thing that makes it seem like it isn't.
I've never left a comment anywhere ever .nor do I have facebook or twitter or anything. My kids put this you tube in my phone. But I just came across this post and had to say this. I'm a mother of three boys.14, 12 and 10 years old, I'm 37 and I'm straight. I just watched your video and I am so extremely proud of the two of you. Not because your gay or straight or whatever. Because you both chose to be exactly who you are. You seized the moment and you chose to be PROUD of who you really are inside. You boys sat there 10 feet tall and you allowed yourself to be vulnerable and say this is who I am and that was beautiful to see! I don't personally know anybody who is gay. I just some how came across this video and I had to tell you both you sieze the moment! You seize the day! You be and grow and become the beautiful people that you are. Never ever ever let any hate or evil people who don't know your beautiful hearts tear you down or break either of your spirits! You boys keep standing 10 feet tall and embrace this life with a whole lot of moxie and and a whole lot of love!
That's really Hell-full... Keep denying your maker. I don't want to be around anyone like you, ever. Forever and ever. That's a long time to roast with a snake, just because you believed the lie.
You so right there hundreds of interpretation of part of the bible one is that gay is wrong but most are of acceptance and there ACTAULLY a piece of text in the bible that is interpreted as slavery is alright and another saying adulterers should face death sentence
Meepster450 I didn't mean to offend them or anybody. I'm gay as well and I can relate to this video personally. I've been following Aaron and Austin since last summer and I just appreciate the step they've done, being true to themselves and their loved ones.
Meepster450 "It is rude to some people" - Why is it not rude to think someone is straight, but it is rude to think someone is gay? Is being gay that bad?
ab0kanal no, that's not.... The vast majority are straight. It's the default and so the baseline assumption. To suspect somebody is gay there has to be a reason, something about them you think gives it away. But it's a guess made on stereotypes and a gut feeling. You don't know anything unless they tell you. Also, if somebody's been trying hard to hide it, saying something like that just reinforces to them that they didn't hide it well enough. Or it could spawn the 'well then why didn't you say something? I was worried all this time for nothing' kind of thing.
Wow. I cannot believe the courage and vulnerability and raw emotion and LOVE that I just witnessed. That you two would want to record and post something SO private and SO gut-wrenching is beyond incredible and brave. I struggled with telling my parents for many, many years. Then one weekend I drove the 180 mile trip to visit them and finally come out to them, but I just couldn't do it. A severe winter storm kicked up before I went to leave, but I left anyway as I had to be back to work the next morning. That whole day I felt like I was on a runaway train and couldn't do anything to stop it---like fate was controlling every moment. I was nearly killed in a head-on collision on my way back--I was unharmed, but 2 days later I received a very emotional letter from my mom, pleading with me to share myself with her as she could sense over the weekend (and the last several years) that something was not right. So I ended up coming out to them in a 5 page letter a couple of days later. I felt so ashamed--not for being gay, but for not having the courage/respect/trust/what-have-you to be able to tell them face to face, or even over the phone. From the sound of your dad and your conversation with him, he sounds VERY, VERY similar to my dad, and probably millions of others. I loved him, and knew he loved me, but it was STILL the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. You two have given hope and confidence and opened the door for so many millions of people--of all ages- to be able to do what you have done. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, for being such amazing role models and HEROES to this generation of gay/bi/transgendered youth. The Rhodes Bros ROCK! Gregory L. Styrk
"That you two would want to record and post something SO private and SO gut-wrenching is beyond incredible and brave." No it's not. It's out of an act of self guilt. Like I said earlier, the entire world does NOT need to know anybody else's "sexual preference." NOBODY needs to know that I love sex with my wife do they? NO.
Rachel Tomczak Thanks, Rachel! It's hard to believe that next month will be exactly 20 years since that head-on collision! My how time flies when you're not "in the closet!" :-)
Ears14U I am not going to ignore your comment, nor will I respond in a hateful manner. You just don't understand AT ALL what it is like to be gay. But I am not angry with you. It is very difficult for most straight people to really grasp what it is like to grow up with a sexual identity that is not only different from almost EVERYONE you know, but is also considered by most (and usually not revealed in a "conscious" manner) to be "wrong"--"immoral"--disgusting"--"perverted"---or just plain weird. The Rhodes Bros DID NOT do this out of "self-guilt." They did this as an act of LOVE--first and foremost--and COURAGE. If you knew what it is like to grow up with the knowledge that you are gay/bi/transgendered, you would be applauding them just as I am doing. They want and NEED to share this part of their identity with their father because they love him and want him to continue to be a part of their lives. Sexual identity, while not a person's SOLE identity, is still VERY central to who we are as human beings. Revealing one's sexual identity to family and friends has NOTHING to do with wanting them to know who you "love to have sex with," rather, it is about wanting them to know who you LOVE. Just as you and your wife did when the two of you were married. See? As for the Rhodes Bros' decision to record and post their coming out on a worldwide platform, I see that as an act of true courage and empathy for ALL people, no matter their age or circumstance, to, at long last, finally be able tell the truth, unapologetically and unashamedly, to be closer to their loved ones than they ever have been. That is what happened to me when I came out to my family. Now, because of this one incredible act of LOVE, I believe MILLIONS more will be given the same, extraordinary gift.
Because we're ashamed. My sister locked herself in a room,attempted suicide after she came out to her friend who later turned out to be like her. She's feeling better so no worries
+Erwin Rommel This comment disgusts me. You have absolutely no right whatsoever to say that. Jesus came to this earth and died for every single one of us. He loves everyone the same, whether gay, straight, or something in between. None of us are good enough to make it to heaven on our own, but that's exactly why Jesus died to save us. God does say in the Bible that practicing homosexuality is a sin, but He also says that every sin is equal. So unless you're absolutely perfect, I suggest you get the log out of your eye before trying to get the speck out of someone else's. Hating on others sure as heck isn't going to lead them to Christ.
+Diamond 1 Yasuo OMG what will I do now that someone, who doesn't impact my life, doesn't support me and the lgbt community! What will I do. I'm gonna cry. I'm crying so hard now that Someone I don't know and will never have the inconvenience to meet doesn't LIKE ME... I'm gonna tell my girlfriend this..
Wow, all these negative comments are sick. Being gay isn't a "choice". You don't just wake up one day and be like " Oh, I'm gonna be gay" I give them props, that must be so damn hard to be able to do that. And like they said, they can't tell their dad face to face because hes in Ohio or somewhere. I support you guys all the way! So damn brave
The only person who's going to hell, is you KAMPER-ECKZ . people deserve rights. And they deserve to be respected. Maybe if we'd spend more time spreading love and less hate, there would be less deaths.
I can't believe how many people out there are so hating. I loved your video! You two are so brave for coming out and giving encouragement to others. Respect. :)
my kid shouldnt even have to come out. I just want him/her to come up to me and tell me 'i'm in a relationship' and i'll just say 'is it a boy or a girl?' and either way I'LL BE EXCITED TO MEET HER/HIS LOVER BYE
YES! we need more people like you! the day i get a kid i will never ask if he likes any girl or she likes any boy etc. only ask if there's any person in school you think is attractiv? then it wouldn't be that hard to come out, if you teach them from their birth its equally normal :)
+zero14 I get angry that there's always a few people who ruin it for everyone else... I would not be alive today without my relationship with God. I'm an addict in recovery. I also know that God doesn't make junk, and you go through hardships for a greater destiny. These 2 in the video are an inspiration to many. I admire them so much for living in their own truth... that's not an easy thing to do!
Elizabeth Arndt you're alive because you're in recovery. You saved yourself, you should be proud of your own strength instead of giving credit to something that doesn't exist. Btw, that's not "their own truth", it's not something they're making up and choosing to believe. That's a universal truth. God is not.
That's my point - I didn't have the strength by myself. We can agree to disagree, as I'm fine with that. I was agreeing with you initially, that religion does sadly fuck up so many people by shoving it down people's throats... but it's those same people that destroy the religion they're trying to spread too. Anyway, people should believe if they want to... or not believe, but people shouldnt shove it down people's throats.
The day it doesn’t have to be “breaking bad news” when coming out for anyone in the LGBTQ+, will be the day humans will have evolved to a higher being.
I am a gay identical twin who has a gay identical twin. We joined the Air Force together and after a couple years, we were discharged with about 40 other guys and girls for "homosexual activity" which the military described as going to a gay bar and associating with other "known" gay people. We were then forced to come out to our parents. Your phone call to your Dad is very similar to our phone call to our parents. They took it hard, but after a couple months we all actually grew a lot closer. My Father died a few years later and I learned more about him in those last few years than I had my whole life. He accepted our boyfriends like they were his kids as well. It was very emotional in the beginning and the time it took our parents to come to terms with it was rough. For my Father, my brother and I were the last men in our family to carry on the family name. By being gay and not having children, our family line ends with us. That seemed to be what upset my Father the most. I applaud you guys for doing this online and sharing with others. TH-cam wasn't around when we came out but watching your video now brings me right back to that day and I was crying with you. It is hard hearing your parents tell gay jokes and say demeaning things toward gays and then have to turn around and tell them you are what they have spewed jokes and prejudice over for so many years. They are more worried about what the neighbors will think or how they could hide it from their friends and other family members. That all worked itself out with time and I believe both of our parents died being proud of who we were as people and not about our sexuality.
There is no reason why you can't have children. If you want kids that you get them! I know that sounds harsh but there are plenty of ways for two dads or two mums to have their own children, your family name doesn't end with you. Don't worry :)
Rohan Williams That is absolutely true. The fact is that I am now 50 and my twin brother committed suicide in 2007. Although being gay doesn't mean you can't have kids or that a family name can't be carried forwarded, it just wasn't meant to be with us. I'm sure it will work and be a great joy for many others.
***** He took my Mother's death hard. She died 3 years before him. He cared for and lived with her the last two years of her life. He also ended a bad relationship. One he started while IN a 15 yr relationship which he always regretted after realizing that the grass was NOT greener. He didn't want to date again, but didn't want to be alone. His business had quit providing an income. After his death, I realized that he had taken my inheritance from my Mother's estate and spent it while continuing to give me excuses of why I hadn't received it yet. He also fought with Depression and Anxiety. He left a three page typed suicide note which I feel was more of excuses of why he felt he had no other choice. Basically, he felt like the best part of his life was over and he didn't see anything to look forward to. He realized there were so many battles he would have had to fight (money, living arrangement, job, theft, mental health, etc.). I went to a Suicide Survivors group for a year which helped to know I wasn't the only one going through pain. Although I suffer from Depression and Anxiety, I reached out for help. I ended a 17 yr relationship and lost quite a bit as many do with divorce, but have continued to be hopeful that things will get better. Life is not easy. For me, my brother, or anyone. I believe the key is to ask for help when you need or want it. Stay social and just like anything else... take one day at a time.
I wonder if the dad realized that both of the twins were there... because you know... They sound the exact same...
He’s the father I’m sure he can tell the difference because he’s been with them longer

@The Rockall Times what about a Surrogate
When their voices started cracking and they started crying I started crying. Recently my best friend came out to me and told me that she was gay and I didn't know how to react at first, but I was raised to love everyone and that it doesn't matter what their skin color is or their sexuality is. I grabbed her by the hand and asked her if she had a girlfriend and she said yes and she pointed at my other best friend. I smiled at both of them and gave them both a hug and a kiss on the cheek and just smiled, I honestly am so proud of them and they are still dating till this day. You guys are beautiful human beings, I love you boys and stay strong😙

Thats awesome

their dad didn't seem thrilled about the news, but at least he accepted it and that's more than a lot of parents would do.
I think he was just a little shocked in a good way
Ikr he DIDINT really accepted it
Is he supposed to be happy about it? That wouldn't really make sense.
He probably just wants blood grandkids I know I would. Someone your genes have been passed on to. But I'd still accept the fact.

Well said Davey, their Dad was good about it and I am proud of him as well as Aaron and Austin.
I don't understand why people hate on them; This is beautiful. You can show their dad doesn't care and loves both of them the same exact way. I'm Christian, But I believe God would accept humans to love anyone they want.
Caedíte eos Okay, you're a sinner. What makes you better than them being sinners as well? Nothing. stealing from someone is a sin, you've lied before, what makes you better than them? Nothing. The thing is, that if we're all sinners, why can't we just live in peace? No one is greater, or less than anyone.
I sincerely hope more Christians are like you. This comment section is filled with hate and ignorance. And they've become the face of this religion. I hope people like you can speak louder, otherwise they are going to represent all of you.
Fish Lee I've known her for a while and we are both Christian and those haters need to step the fudge away because they don't know what they're talking about, I just don't know what's wrong with people thinking that everyone has to believe in the same exact thing or you're hated on....

Dad : A mukbang ?
I was raised by homophbic parents and i remember watching on tv two gay guys getting married and my parents said a lot of bad things about them, so i grew up to be homophbic myself but after a while i discovered that there is nothing wrong with being gay or lesbian or bi or pan or transgender, saw a video of a guy coming out to his little brother and he was like i am still me and it made me cry, i then started questioning my own sexuality, i first knew that i was bi but then i discovered that i am not attracted to women at all and that i am gay... I am proud of who i am and i love myself, my parents might disown me if they knew about it but at least i am not living in a prison and i can finally be free
I completely understand how that feels my parents didn’t get the chance to explain to me what gay was (it just never came up and there was no good time to tell me) and in 4th grade someone said something something gay and I asked what gay was and they said “oh it’s when to boys or girls like each other and it means that you hate you life and your going to hell” this didn’t seem right to me but I was to scared to say anything because I was already being bullied by many kids in my class also had a teacher who didn’t care and allowed for the bullying to continue. I remember being pressured to bully these to boys who idk if they were even gay but I remember yelling EWWW THATS GAY at them I feel even to this day regret and so much shame for doing that now 3 years later I am in a much better place I’m a lesbian I’ve told my friends and family and it was meet with understanding and kindness and I’ve left that school and my days of bullying behind.
How did you guys come out? Everytime I try to, something interrupts me and I end up not telling them. I talked to my mom about different sexualities and she thinks gays an lesbians are okay, but she says that bisexuals are slutty because they're attracted to both gender. Like, are you kidding me? Just because they're attracted to both boys AND girls doesn't mean they're gonna go around getting it with everyone. And it's even worse because I'm pansexual which means I don't only like two genders, I've also been attracted to other sexualities and I'm pretty sure my ma would think I'm "worse" than bi.

Wow, can't stop crying.. Didn't expect it.. But let me say, YOUR FATHER ROCKS! Seriously he does! "You are normal". That's the quote that touched me. Anyway, what's more heartbreaking is to see the stress you two were under before letting your father know. There should never be stress given to a person for letting a loved one know their truth. Coming out should be similar to saying "Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you.... I like Ice Cream". Anyway, I know this video has blessed millions around the world.. Your video now belongs to the ages. Thank you for sharing your truth with a couple of your friends (23 million friends).

You really think the twins would have published the video if their father didn't approve it? I really don't think so, they seem to be very close.

If God really hated gays that much, why would he put them on the planet?
***** Got proof?
Awww they almost made me cry when they started crying. Their dad had a wonderful reaction
And this sounds weird but their faces are pretty
same here g

I don't think straight people realise how much courage it takes to come out, especially to your parents. And we don't just come out once, but every time we meet new people. It takes courage to live openly and honestly as a gay man in a straight world.
Yeah when I came out to my mom I was literally shaking and my legs were numb. And I kept thinking "it's not to late to go back and not say anything"
We need to be proud of ourselves for those moments of courage.
this is literally so true
im still havent come out as gay
I think the straight guys can understand us, and the people today are very friendly, well 1950 its was maybe not a good time but today ? Come on boy :/
"you are normal, what do you mean?" i'm fucking crying. i still can't come out to my parents, but i know i would never ever get such a nice response they would start shouting at me n i'll die
Same....
I just wanna say it doesn't matter your perfect in the eyes of God no matter what people say OK? your perfect
honestly same.
+Maria Vanessa Chang They KNOW... Trust me!
I think they can find out through here
I'm not gay, but these comments are unbelievably pathetic...
I can't believe there are still people out there, hating or beating up homosexuals. It is NOT a disease. The way they are crying might tell more words than the whole video. Gay or not, nobody deserves to be punished.
There are even people discussing about the fact that this was uploaded on TH-cam. This video wasn't for advertising purposes, but for helping others. Yet some people in the comments call them disgusting for helping others? I don't even...
The fact that this hate still happens in 2015 makes me sick...
This is what all comments should be like, and it's really sad.
All of these negative comments are a fantastic reason Gay Pride is still necessary.
I believe that they start crying before to say anything because maybe they felt ashamed about who they really are, and it's sad that society makes us feel that way about anything :( but the good part is that everything ends in a happy way!
I don't like the fact it's been put on TH-cam because it should have been a private conversation with their dad. They'd have been a lot better making a video about the conversation rather than showing the ACTUAL conversation.
They didn't ask his permission to put it on TH-cam (at least, I didn't catch that bit?). If I was their dad I'd be pissed.
Korus
You know this as a fact? You know nothing about this video.
There is some kind of ocean coming out of my eyes right now
...and it seems to be flooding the earth.

+Sam B lol same!!! I was like awww don't cry guys. I was sooo happy when their dad just accepted them. It was so adorbs
I'm not crying. My eyes are just sweating
i told my mom and she got so exited! she started saying “omg i knew it! i knew it! you’re gonna be so happy now! and thats the only thing that matters, im proud of you and i love you”
“You’re gonna be so happy now!”
Best mom ever!
Im so Ashamed of the pathetic humans commenting such horrible nasty comments! good on you two boys, very brave and courageous!!!!
Plot twist: "And we're in love." -I think their father would've died lol. But no, it's good to know people are more accepting of the times.
^^ omg LOL that's twincest XD
Finally, someone sensible in the comment section!
i think your father is diplomatic, understanding... and honestly the coolest.
he just tells you to live your lives.
God bless you and your whole family!
and i will keep in touch .
I agree.
Seriously? What's wrong with his profile pic?
mm sre bms lol but seriously whats the difference between his and yours
I told my father that I was a heroin addict and he abandoned me like he has done all of my life. I'm five months clean as of yesterday and he still won't come around. You all have a wonderful, supporting father that didn't run for the hills at the first sign of turmoil.
I praise you for being yourselves in such a hateful world. Although society has become more acceptable to same sex couples, not everyone can open their eyes. Whether it be their religion or personal beliefs that block out that peace in their hearts, you took a chance and won.
I'm not gay nor have I ever wanted to explore the lifestyle. I just liked drugs and my father couldn't accept that. Maybe one day he will come back but by then I will have moved on.
Call your father and tell him you love him every chance you get because I don't get that opportunity.
That's his loss. Good job on your sobriety! God bless. 😊
Thank you!
You're very welcome !
M Leun Harding-Burke thank you for the support.
misscline1998 the support from people like you all helps tremendously.
I remember watching this video for the first time when it came out 5 years ago and I was 17 and I thought "wow, these guys are so brave and incredible in that they're able to do this and then go and post it on a platform like youtube, I could never." Here I am now, 5 years later at 22 finally starting that journey of coming out to friends and family and it's just surreal to me. I had to come back and rewatch this and leave this comment bc this video was such a catalyst of strength in my journey which probably started even more than 5 years ago, but now the exciting chapters are just beginning. Thanks, y'all.
Dude we’re the same age and I’m having the same experience it’s crazy
Ok I’m crying so hard right now. I’m 3 years late but it doesn’t matter. I’m so so so proud of you both. You are amazing ❤️🏳️🌈

vidsbyjl. Same
Gayyyyyyy
Rod Grymes duuuhhhh
Me too! Just watched today I'm sitting here crying like it was ME having to do that! Then immediately I felt happy after they told him! I can't imagine how HARD it is to come out.
Me: hey mum I’m need to tell you something
Mum: ok what?
Me: I’m gay
Mum: I’d be more shocked if you told me that your straight
Ooooffff 😂😂
Edit: yes that is a true story
It isn't, i read the same under other videos lol.
I hope that will be my story.

@@freshavocado1014 well they said it is a true story but not their story so.. makes sense 🤷🏻♀️
I was like "Hey mom, I'm gay" and she just said "cool" ...
that was it...
ahahaha the best!
hahahaha your mum is the best
You have a great mom :))
Mine told me I wasn't and told me to buy a bird and dog, talk to them and I'll become straight again. I will never stop making fun of that.
Sam Lambert was she serious?
I remember that the first person that I came out to was my brother's girlfriend. She helped me a lot in this situation and helped me telling my family. Thank God they were all accepting this even if I was frightened what my father and my grandparents would say. After all they were very supportive and loved me as the person that I am. Best of luck to you guys and thanks for sharing this moment.
Well done guys :) there are now more and more of us on TH-cam. This platform gives us room to have a voice. Although television and other traditional media is changing, it is a slow process. Every time someone comes out on TH-cam, you are helping others who are struggling somewhere in the world.
You have my support. LET'S ALL BE FABULOUS.
AWESOME!! VIDEOS GUYS I DID TEAR UP
A BIT!! I DONT KNOW U BUT I CAME across your videos. U HAVE MY SUPPORT ALSO!!! :)!!!
seriously? im not a dude.
Congratulations to the both of you. Having just come out 3 days ago on TH-cam I know how hard and scary this is. What an emotional video, so happy your dad was accepting.Good luck in the future, living an honest and open life guys
Im litteraly crying that was so hard for you love from here
NUSKA Get over it you bonehead,their are young kiddies dying from cancer out there...
ROWDY PIPER Stfu no need to be rude
It’s kind of disturbing actually because we all kind of know that it started by them experimenting with each other 🤮 What are the odds that 2 twin boys are both gay.... weird AF! 😂 I bet the dad likes to get PEGGED in bed😂 Go look up what that is. Let me give you a hint... DILDO IN ASS😂😂😂😂😂 Anyway.. we all fall short because God told us how we are suppose to live you all. So I get people are normalizing it but still y’all!!! That don’t mean we should hate gay people or throw hate speech at them neither. We better than that. It just means we need to make it clear what’s right and what’s not. I’m a sinner.. just like you. So I can’t talk but the difference is I don’t try to normalize my sins and push that on kids causing confusion and deception. Anyway.. I don’t want to preach but I just want to say I hope 1 day these Brothers find Jesus and realize that he doesn’t want that for us. If they don’t.... at least repent and hope for a ticket into the kingdom. PEACE AND GODBLESS! (This is not hate.. just my thoughts out loud when watching this) ✌️
My come out:
Me: mom my hair is just like me
Mom: wdym?
Me: it's not straight
So creative!!!
Me: mom, I need to talk to you
Mom: that doesn't sound good
Me: I'm bisexual
Mom: cool, me too
(True story)

@@apollo_orientalis yes I stan LGBTQ+ parents
My coming out story
Me:I like girls (nervous af and shaking)
Mom: that's ok but you don't have to claim anything right now your only twelve.
Me: (kinda disappointed and upset because I expected a hug or something and I got a "you to young to know")
I am a Muslim. Like Christianity and Judaism being gay is NOT permitted. I have two sons. After watching this I found myself reacting in a way I would never have imagined. After seeing you in so much pain for the love you have for your dad and what you were about to do. Gave me a change of heart. If it is a sin being gay. That's between individuals and their God on judgement day. Here, now living in THIS world it wouldn't stop me from loving my sons and still being a part of their life's. I wish you both well.
Good for you, Yaz. :)
***** There are alot of people who support it, stop being ignorant and hypocrite and do us all a favor and shut the fuck up.
Allah The one and only God And do what? Leave my kids? Stop loving them? No, I wouldn't do that.
You're an amazing father. May you and your family live a long prosperous life full of many warm hugs and euphoric memories. Remember, a fathers greatest joy is seeing his family happy and a child's greatest accomplishment is to make their parents proud. Loving your kids for who they are, and being there with them through their journey is one of the greatest thing you could do for them. May the love of the world follow you. ♥
Yas Saj you're awesome man! :)
I must say, you two are absolutely courageous. Regardless of the situation I could NEVER just pick up the phone and do that. I had to get drunk at the beach in order to do what you guys just did. Imagine how hard it was for me, my dad is a pastor.
Yikes!
M Leun Harding-Burke Yeah... talk about a struggle. I wish I could say I got the same reaction. Once you're out on your own it doesn't really matter anymore.
Justin Reliford I didn't get the same reaction either; but, it's all water under the bridge, as they say.
M Leun Harding-Burke There isn't any water in hell, just sayin... :)

It is not what one person feels; or even 8 billion people feel, but how the Lord; the great I AM, feels about going against His creation. God created male and female. Period.
@@OwenAllen-z9bwhat the fuck are you saying bro
@@cheese_cake_factory You KNOW exactly what I am saying. To repeat: It does not matter what man feels---or if all of 8 billion humans wanted it one way---God is not a democracy. He created us male and female. That's that. Like it or not.....
Boys I am a mum of a 20 year old son. I came to realisation a long long time ago that it wouldnt make a scrap of difference to me one way or the other if my son came home to me one day and told me he was gay. I will always love him no matter what.
What you did here was very brave and but above all else you are being honest to yourselves and to the people who matter the most to you...your family.
'Whatever anyone else in the wider world says or thinks dosnt mean a single thing...Go out there live your lives and be good , productive and happy human beings..God Bless you both
Beautiful.
M Leun Harding-Burke You're commenting everywhere like this video is your life or something. Can you not?
M Leun Harding-Burke Like seriously over the span of two days you've left what must be like a hundred comments. I don't even think that's an exaggeration either. You may be homosexual, and adore these people, but if I were you I would have realised how much time I've wasted by now. Also, I'm not bashing on you at all for being gay, nor these two. I'm a bisexual myself.
HyperGuineaPig You're right; I am gay.
One question, if your 20 year old son was a pedo and had sex with little boys and girls. Would you still love him??????
So proud of you two! I hope you guys are doing well! I miss you!!
Good job!! I'm straight but, I could see the struggle. Just be glad it's over with and stay blessed.

Wow. I came to the comment section to look for how happy everyone would be for them. I have yet to see one nice comment and that makes me sick.
I know right, if God didn't want us to be gay he would not have made us with feelings like that for the same sex. I am a Christian too and I think that it must just be a typo in the bible or something because God would not discriminate like that
I know, it amazed me :/ Let's spread love, instead of hate ^^
You must be pretty blind...
when i grow up and have my own kids, i want to raise them so that they can comfortably tell me whatever it is about who they are :(((
This is so beautiful. My son just came out. I always knew and I love him so much and I want him to be happy. It breaks my heart to see you struggle, afraid that someone won’t love you any more because of who you are.
Sprakle Sound this is a very wholesome comment

I wanted to thank you for uploading, it actually encouraged me to come out as genderfluid and ace to my family. I first came out to my younger, 12-year old brother, he reacted in the best ever way. After, I came out to my dad, he reacted positively as well. Then I had to come out to my mother. She didn't show any acceptance at all, she yelled at me , she got damn violent. I even had to go to hospital. Now I live with my dad.
Even if I had to experience this, I'm really glad I came out in general, my dad's super supportive, loving and caring. Thank u guys for this encouragement.
Hey 👋, i hope everything is going fine now. Lots of love

A parents place is to always support their child no matter what especially when that child needs a parents support.
Agreed. My mum told my brother and I that if either of us were to have been gay, she could live with that, and she'd still love us the same. Both my mum and I are Christians but we have very similar views on this.
If i could like this comment a thousand times, I would
umm... so my coming out story.
my mom disowned me... like she literally took all the pillows on the couch and threw them at me, she threw holy water at me( she keeps this little jar on the living room table)...
she called me the devil child and threw me out the house..
I moved out before I told her, she stopped talking to me and now we still aren't talking and I came out a year and a half ago..
but I guess oh well.. I have a stable income that provides me with what i need and more but I'm happy so..
Don't lose hope. No matter what.
Stay strong, you got this❤️
stay strong baby. no matter whats. love yourself. ❤
thank you. I really appreciate it...
Stay strong and continue to be who you are, someday you'll find someone who loves you for who you are x
I came out to my straight best friend and it was really surprising. He is a very manly guy he works out and loves sports so he is the stereotypical straight guy
Everyone excluding my parents and aunts and uncles knew at this point and I was going to go to a movie with him and my 2 other friends. I told my best friend that I needed to talk to him and he said sure. It was an awkward place but I told him and his response was
‘’Bro I had a feeling but I didn’t feel the need to confront you so I waited until you told me yourself.''
I was scared that he was going to disown me as his best friend but the next thing he did was hug me for a whole minute and a half telling me that nothing could ever change his perspective of me and I would always be his best friend.
I was crying throughout the movie and it was tears of joy. I freakin love my best friend!
❤
keep him!!!
Friends like that are most precious!!
That’s awesome
Aww you and your best friend sound so cool! I’m gay too, and damn I’m jealous but happy for you got that hug😂😂
Edit: getting*
As a christian, I do not agree that people should like the same gender but, I do accept it. I have a few friends that are lesbian or gay but, I do not treat them any differently than my other friends. Looking at some of these comments make me sick to my stomach. I understand if you have different morals and perspectives but, that gives you no right to be rude like that. These boys have a lot of courage posting this video and I'm very proud of them. Please no hate on this comment. It's just my opinion.
I'll never understand Christians; no hate intended. Just pure amazement I guess.
I'm a Christian and I couldn't care less if someone way gay. They choose to live that way then good on them.
***** Hate, prejudice, intolerance - these are all learned behaviors. A child, playing on a playground, for example, doesn't know politics and will play with anyone. They don't care if another child has different colored skin, different colored hair, or even different parents. All they know is that they have someone to play with. It isn't until a child is told, normally by their parents, that they shouldn't play with certain others because they are 'different,' that a child will start to develop and learn to hate.
Thank you for your comments. I agree with Pheonix wooz. I am Christian but I realize I have been Bisexual all my life. It has been a very very difficult life trying to understand my feelings. I have lied to myself for so many years that I don't even know who I am until lately. Now that I understand myself and have accepted myself I have to learn to deal with it. As a bisexual you are in constant confusion. All I can say is my sexual attractions are as normal for me as a heterosexual guy is for a women. I have fought my feelings as long as I could . It is not a choice for me. It is who I am. GOD made me this way, and HE does not make mistakes.
Ken U How are you in agreement with Phoenix? I'm just curious, because, nothing in your statement, aside from both being Christian, supports what he/she stated.
See their tears straight people. Those reactions were so true. It's really hard to come out to our family. And pls don't make it hard. for us. Because it's really really hard to be gay.

First off, congrats to you both for coming out to him. I know it's a big relief.
Now on to the haters. I have a question for you: If you're so disgusted, so opposed, etc., why are you looking up videos like this in the first place? Go live your lives and mind your own business and STFU. If you want to live in such a negative state, that's YOUR neurosis. Keep it to yourself.
I'd like to add that I see an incredible pile of ignorance in the comments. A clue I'd like to share:
It's a scientific FACT that about 10% of the population of non-human animals are same-gender oriented in at least 1800 documented species. So before you go crying "It's unnatural" maybe you should get your facts straight.
Just because you don't know or understand something, just because it's different, does not mean it's Wrong.
Gay people are NOT inherently less healthy in any way, either. Keep your ignoranc, insecurities and fears to yourselves.
Das Kitty
If that's the way you wanna view it so be it. Your view is still a hell of a lot better than the people who think it's a choice that can be "cured". As long as you know that it can't be "cured" you can go ahead and find it disgusting and that's ok.
Actually, nature abhors a vacuum (like the void between your ears). Do you even believe the stupid junk you type, or are you just trying to rile people up?
Thanks for helping reinforce my decision to steer clear of bothering to educate jerks like you.
Melissa Etheridge, George Michael, David Geffen, Sir Elton John... the list is far longer than you can handle, all the way back to Michelangelo and Alexander the Great, all gay. But yeah, gay people are fucked in the head.... says the stupid "kitty". Whatever.
***** "maybe you should get your facts straight", facts can't be gay!!??! Why are you telling me to get my facts STRAIGHT when you're supporting samesex in the same comment. I'm so confused...
(sarcastic if you couldn't tell) lol
Isn't this a great country, that you can be that fucking stupid, have that baseless an opinion, and still be allowed to run off at the fingers?
At the very least, stop trying to proclaim what emotions people feel and why, when you don't even know them.
Run on off now and badger someone who buys into your narrowminded doom-and-gloom perspective. Meanwhile, the rest of us will embrace enlightenment, recognizing that this is actually ushering in a new and better age of love, tolerance and prosperity for ALL living beings.
Actually bawling right now. That was so moving and it's so great to see supportive families. Feel you 100% because I'm still not fully out to my dad and it's terrifying even though I know he'd be fine with it.
You'll be fine. You have House Stark on your side! ;)
I know it feels terrifying, but if you know he'll be okay with it, nothing bad can happen.
Go for it, im sure he has an idea anyway. I wish you all the best. x.
Doctor Who Fan Elfin Ryan Thanks for the love! I'm sure he already knows (I talk about queer and trans issues a lot), I've just never said the words "I'm queer" to him.
***** Who I'd like to f**k doesn't normally come up in a conversation with my dad, ya know? So it can be difficult to put oneself out there. P.S. I'm not gay. There's a lot more letters in the LGBT+ acronym. kthnxbi
@All the haters that got removed by spam filters: Very creative use of homophobic slurs. 10/10. Also, I find it fascinating that you all assume I'm a gay man. Because I'm neither of those things. Queer / genderqueer. They/them/theirs or she/her/hers pronouns ;). Haters to the left.
This is adorable I came out to my mom two days ago and she accepts me and I'm happy
Just watched your video and then read some of the comments... I'm a straight girl living in catholic Ireland and I even though I don't know you, I couldn't be more proud! To come out in this day and age should be easier than our last generations but it's not because there is still so much hate out there. Your dad loves you no matter what and that's what counts, it's no one else's business. So people who think they can give their opinion on how you live your life obviously have nothing better to do than to put you down. Be proud of who you are and who you love. xx
***** Just because you put something on the internet doesn't mean you did it for "attention". They did it to show people that's okay to be different.
***** Why are you even here?
***** Feminism is fighting for equal rights for both men and woman and if you cant see that society needs that then your not mature enough to date. You don't get to choose being gay it just happens and its as natural as being straight society is the only thing that makes it seem like it isn't.
They have sex with other men.
You are so nice people don't under stand how hard its is to go to you parents and tell them they're gay and its natural its happens with animals to
I've never left a comment anywhere ever .nor do I have facebook or twitter or anything. My kids put this you tube in my phone. But I just came across this post and had to say this. I'm a mother of three boys.14, 12 and 10 years old, I'm 37 and I'm straight. I just watched your video and I am so extremely proud of the two of you. Not because your gay or straight or whatever. Because you both chose to be exactly who you are. You seized the moment and you chose to be PROUD of who you really are inside. You boys sat there 10 feet tall and you allowed yourself to be vulnerable and say this is who I am and that was beautiful to see! I don't personally know anybody who is gay. I just some how came across this video and I had to tell you both you sieze the moment! You seize the day! You be and grow and become the beautiful people that you are. Never ever ever let any hate or evil people who don't know your beautiful hearts tear you down or break either of your spirits! You boys keep standing 10 feet tall and embrace this life with a whole lot of moxie and and a whole lot of love!
Nice comment :)
What a beautiful mother you are. Lot of love !
Your parents definitely raised you right. Unlike these ignorant fools in the comments. Maybe you should teach them a thing or two, ma'am. :)
That's really Hell-full... Keep denying your maker. I don't want to be around anyone like you, ever. Forever and ever. That's a long time to roast with a snake, just because you believed the lie.
5winder Guess what? ... no one cares.
You're not a true Christian if you hate gays. period, love thy neighbour takes priority over all
***** well i guess you will see when you end up in hell for discriminating people
You know that there are like a hundred other rules in the bible as well that I know you don't even know exist, let a lone act on them.
Christianity is such a joke, none of you even follow the religion like it's supposed to. Everything is reinterpreted in a modern liberal way...
You so right there hundreds of interpretation of part of the bible one is that gay is wrong but most are of acceptance and there ACTAULLY a piece of text in the bible that is interpreted as slavery is alright and another saying adulterers should face death sentence
How the fuck you gonna say tht prioritises all. If they are wrong dont accept tht shit this is why some of you christains will burn.
I’m a straight married man who’s been married for over a decade and this video made me cry.
I was crying more then they were in this video, lmao. I'm so weak
***** I don't even know why
Jeffrey Dahmer Dont be rude
I was crying too
Me too
Omg same lol
Honestly, I've been expecting this for a while. I'm so proud of you two, Aaron and Austin. I love you.
Never say you were expecting or knew someone was gay. It is rude to some people. Just a tip so you don't get in future arguments
^^^^^
Meepster450 I didn't mean to offend them or anybody. I'm gay as well and I can relate to this video personally. I've been following Aaron and Austin since last summer and I just appreciate the step they've done, being true to themselves and their loved ones.
Meepster450 "It is rude to some people" - Why is it not rude to think someone is straight, but it is rude to think someone is gay? Is being gay that bad?
ab0kanal no, that's not.... The vast majority are straight. It's the default and so the baseline assumption. To suspect somebody is gay there has to be a reason, something about them you think gives it away. But it's a guess made on stereotypes and a gut feeling. You don't know anything unless they tell you.
Also, if somebody's been trying hard to hide it, saying something like that just reinforces to them that they didn't hide it well enough. Or it could spawn the 'well then why didn't you say something? I was worried all this time for nothing' kind of thing.
First time seeing this, as a Mom of 2 boys, this is so touching! So proud of you and your Dad and Family for supporting and loving you always!
Congrats boys, I'm so happy you decided to take the big leap out of the closet and embraced who you really are. So much love for y'all.
I cried when I watched this.
son: dad i’m gay
dad: okay i still love u
son: and i’m part of the logang
dad: you are not my son
XD
Duh It’s Me Faith 😂
Accurate
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
MOOOOOOOD!
Wow. I cannot believe the courage and vulnerability and raw emotion and LOVE that I just witnessed. That you two would want to record and post something SO private and SO gut-wrenching is beyond incredible and brave. I struggled with telling my parents for many, many years. Then one weekend I drove the 180 mile trip to visit them and finally come out to them, but I just couldn't do it. A severe winter storm kicked up before I went to leave, but I left anyway as I had to be back to work the next morning. That whole day I felt like I was on a runaway train and couldn't do anything to stop it---like fate was controlling every moment. I was nearly killed in a head-on collision on my way back--I was unharmed, but 2 days later I received a very emotional letter from my mom, pleading with me to share myself with her as she could sense over the weekend (and the last several years) that something was not right. So I ended up coming out to them in a 5 page letter a couple of days later. I felt so ashamed--not for being gay, but for not having the courage/respect/trust/what-have-you to be able to tell them face to face, or even over the phone. From the sound of your dad and your conversation with him, he sounds VERY, VERY similar to my dad, and probably millions of others. I loved him, and knew he loved me, but it was STILL the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. You two have given hope and confidence and opened the door for so many millions of people--of all ages- to be able to do what you have done. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, for being such amazing role models and HEROES to this generation of gay/bi/transgendered youth. The Rhodes Bros ROCK!
Gregory L. Styrk
I'm so proud of you. 💜
"That you two would want to record and post something SO private and SO gut-wrenching is beyond incredible and brave." No it's not. It's out of an act of self guilt. Like I said earlier, the entire world does NOT need to know anybody else's "sexual preference." NOBODY needs to know that I love sex with my wife do they? NO.
Rachel Tomczak Thanks, Rachel! It's hard to believe that next month will be exactly 20 years since that head-on collision! My how time flies when you're not "in the closet!" :-)
Ears14U I am not going to ignore your comment, nor will I respond in a hateful manner. You just don't understand AT ALL what it is like to be gay. But I am not angry with you. It is very difficult for most straight people to really grasp what it is like to grow up with a sexual identity that is not only different from almost EVERYONE you know, but is also considered by most (and usually not revealed in a "conscious" manner) to be "wrong"--"immoral"--disgusting"--"perverted"---or just plain weird. The Rhodes Bros DID NOT do this out of "self-guilt." They did this as an act of LOVE--first and foremost--and COURAGE. If you knew what it is like to grow up with the knowledge that you are gay/bi/transgendered, you would be applauding them just as I am doing. They want and NEED to share this part of their identity with their father because they love him and want him to continue to be a part of their lives. Sexual identity, while not a person's SOLE identity, is still VERY central to who we are as human beings. Revealing one's sexual identity to family and friends has NOTHING to do with wanting them to know who you "love to have sex with," rather, it is about wanting them to know who you LOVE. Just as you and your wife did when the two of you were married. See?
As for the Rhodes Bros' decision to record and post their coming out on a worldwide platform, I see that as an act of true courage and empathy for ALL people, no matter their age or circumstance, to, at long last, finally be able tell the truth, unapologetically and unashamedly, to be closer to their loved ones than they ever have been. That is what happened to me when I came out to my family. Now, because of this one incredible act of LOVE, I believe MILLIONS more will be given the same, extraordinary gift.
Why do we have to cry for saying other people who we are ? 😢😭
Jeans Zambrano
Because it is forbidden.
Because we're ashamed. My sister locked herself in a room,attempted suicide after she came out to her friend who later turned out to be like her. She's feeling better so no worries
Please permit me to speak oh great one why exactly is that?
Why is it that when they cry I wanna cry cause they are flawless
+Diamond 1 Yasuo ok so what
+Diamond 1 Yasuo maybe but you have no right to admit that
+Diamond 1 Yasuo lmfao "they are not flawless. They're gay" Truuuuu
+Erwin Rommel This comment disgusts me. You have absolutely no right whatsoever to say that. Jesus came to this earth and died for every single one of us. He loves everyone the same, whether gay, straight, or something in between. None of us are good enough to make it to heaven on our own, but that's exactly why Jesus died to save us. God does say in the Bible that practicing homosexuality is a sin, but He also says that every sin is equal. So unless you're absolutely perfect, I suggest you get the log out of your eye before trying to get the speck out of someone else's. Hating on others sure as heck isn't going to lead them to Christ.
+Diamond 1 Yasuo OMG what will I do now that someone, who doesn't impact my life, doesn't support me and the lgbt community! What will I do. I'm gonna cry. I'm crying so hard now that Someone I don't know and will never have the inconvenience to meet doesn't LIKE ME... I'm gonna tell my girlfriend this..
Amazingly brave video, this is such an important video to be here on TH-cam and will help so many people watching. Congrats to you both :) xxx
I never expected you to be here
What r u doing here???
Deli?!?! Whaaaaaa were did u come from?
DELI!!!! I LOVE YOUR VIDS!
Love your vids deli
Wow, all these negative comments are sick. Being gay isn't a "choice". You don't just wake up one day and be like " Oh, I'm gonna be gay" I give them props, that must be so damn hard to be able to do that. And like they said, they can't tell their dad face to face because hes in Ohio or somewhere.
I support you guys all the way!
So damn brave
agreed 100%!
You are not born gay. You choose to be gay. And for that. Have fun in hell. XD
KAMPER-ECKZ Why would someone choose to leave a life that people are ridiculed for?
The only person who's going to hell, is you KAMPER-ECKZ . people deserve rights. And they deserve to be respected. Maybe if we'd spend more time spreading love and less hate, there would be less deaths.
You have a choice to stay gay. That's the problem.
That’s how family love should be 🥹🙂❤️. Aww I love that!
I can't believe how many people out there are so hating. I loved your video! You two are so brave for coming out and giving encouragement to others. Respect. :)
YASS finally someone said something nice about it !!
Mix Master bitch gtfo
my kid shouldnt even have to come out. I just want him/her to come up to me and tell me 'i'm in a relationship' and i'll just say 'is it a boy or a girl?' and either way I'LL BE EXCITED TO MEET HER/HIS LOVER BYE
YES! we need more people like you! the day i get a kid i will never ask if he likes any girl or she likes any boy etc. only ask if there's any person in school you think is attractiv? then it wouldn't be that hard to come out, if you teach them from their birth its equally normal :)
I hate how religion and this society fuck up so many people..you don't deserve this.
Good luck to everyone in the same situation!
So true I'm pretty sure I'm gay myself and I don't see what's so bad about it and why people discriminate against it
Temo Lennon I'm straight, but thanks for showing that one of the few words that you know is dick.
+zero14 I get angry that there's always a few people who ruin it for everyone else... I would not be alive today without my relationship with God. I'm an addict in recovery. I also know that God doesn't make junk, and you go through hardships for a greater destiny. These 2 in the video are an inspiration to many. I admire them so much for living in their own truth... that's not an easy thing to do!
Elizabeth Arndt you're alive because you're in recovery. You saved yourself, you should be proud of your own strength instead of giving credit to something that doesn't exist. Btw, that's not "their own truth", it's not something they're making up and choosing to believe. That's a universal truth. God is not.
That's my point - I didn't have the strength by myself. We can agree to disagree, as I'm fine with that. I was agreeing with you initially, that religion does sadly fuck up so many people by shoving it down people's throats... but it's those same people that destroy the religion they're trying to spread too. Anyway, people should believe if they want to... or not believe, but people shouldnt shove it down people's throats.
The day it doesn’t have to be “breaking bad news” when coming out for anyone in the LGBTQ+, will be the day humans will have evolved to a higher being.
I am a gay identical twin who has a gay identical twin. We joined the Air Force together and after a couple years, we were discharged with about 40 other guys and girls for "homosexual activity" which the military described as going to a gay bar and associating with other "known" gay people. We were then forced to come out to our parents. Your phone call to your Dad is very similar to our phone call to our parents. They took it hard, but after a couple months we all actually grew a lot closer. My Father died a few years later and I learned more about him in those last few years than I had my whole life. He accepted our boyfriends like they were his kids as well. It was very emotional in the beginning and the time it took our parents to come to terms with it was rough. For my Father, my brother and I were the last men in our family to carry on the family name. By being gay and not having children, our family line ends with us. That seemed to be what upset my Father the most. I applaud you guys for doing this online and sharing with others. TH-cam wasn't around when we came out but watching your video now brings me right back to that day and I was crying with you. It is hard hearing your parents tell gay jokes and say demeaning things toward gays and then have to turn around and tell them you are what they have spewed jokes and prejudice over for so many years. They are more worried about what the neighbors will think or how they could hide it from their friends and other family members. That all worked itself out with time and I believe both of our parents died being proud of who we were as people and not about our sexuality.
There is no reason why you can't have children. If you want kids that you get them! I know that sounds harsh but there are plenty of ways for two dads or two mums to have their own children, your family name doesn't end with you. Don't worry :)
Rohan Williams That is absolutely true. The fact is that I am now 50 and my twin brother committed suicide in 2007. Although being gay doesn't mean you can't have kids or that a family name can't be carried forwarded, it just wasn't meant to be with us. I'm sure it will work and be a great joy for many others.
Gregg Crawford I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'm a twin. I can't even imagine...
Shannon Liedel Thanks Shannon. Next month will be 8 years and there are still times I go to reach for the phone to call him out of instinct.
***** He took my Mother's death hard. She died 3 years before him. He cared for and lived with her the last two years of her life. He also ended a bad relationship. One he started while IN a 15 yr relationship which he always regretted after realizing that the grass was NOT greener. He didn't want to date again, but didn't want to be alone. His business had quit providing an income. After his death, I realized that he had taken my inheritance from my Mother's estate and spent it while continuing to give me excuses of why I hadn't received it yet. He also fought with Depression and Anxiety. He left a three page typed suicide note which I feel was more of excuses of why he felt he had no other choice. Basically, he felt like the best part of his life was over and he didn't see anything to look forward to. He realized there were so many battles he would have had to fight (money, living arrangement, job, theft, mental health, etc.).
I went to a Suicide Survivors group for a year which helped to know I wasn't the only one going through pain. Although I suffer from Depression and Anxiety, I reached out for help. I ended a 17 yr relationship and lost quite a bit as many do with divorce, but have continued to be hopeful that things will get better. Life is not easy. For me, my brother, or anyone. I believe the key is to ask for help when you need or want it. Stay social and just like anything else... take one day at a time.
