That's pretty awesome. It's fuckin sad to know some people's parents wouldn't do this for them.

The positive side is that the number of parents who wouldn't do it for their children is getting lower and lower every year.

It really is depressing. I’ve often wondered how my family would feel if I were gay but then I remember my gay cousin who lives in Hawaii and we live in NY so….sums up how my family feels I think.

One of the most awkward, yet heartwarming moments of my teenage years happened when my mom randomly told me she'd still love me just as much if I was gay.

At that time it a) was really awkward and b) felt like throwing shade at my lack of success with the ladies, but older me knows it came from the heart.

My grandmother told me the same thing. xD which was sweet and all, but really highlighted my lack of a love life.
