A son comes out as gay to his mom and captures the whole emotional scene in amazing video


I’m just floored by this.

A young man named Ryan decides it is time to come out to his mom. Since he has been helped by various coming out videos he’s seen on YouTube, he decides to video the whole thing.

Anyone who has ever come out to a parent can relate to the deep emotion of this moment and his mom reacts like you would hope a mom would: with total love.

Her main concern here is that he’s shaking and is so upset – not that he is gay.

‘Did you think I’d be mad or something?’ his mom asks. ‘It’s okay. It’s okay. … I don’t feel differently at all about you.’

Because Ryan initially had trouble saying the words ‘I’m gay’ and was clearly emotional as he tried to work up his courage, his mother feared the worst. She thought perhaps he had run over someone with his car.

‘I’ll always love you Ryan as long as you don’t hurt anybody – that’s all I care about,’ she said.

Although she does say at one point ‘I don’t think people should broadcast their sexuality,’ Ryan’s mom does say she won’t be embarrassed to tell people her son is gay.

‘Oh my God, it must be awful if your parents were upset so don’t even worry about that,’ she tells Ryan.

She also says: ‘It’s more and more acceptable. Can you imagine if you were born 20-25 years ago?’
