I watched a lot of coming out stories and this has to be near the top. The expression on the kid when his parents remained stoic was great. The Mom was absolutely hilarious. She let it out with honesty and humor. Dad was great also as it was a topic they probably frequently discussed.
This is how I wish my parents reacted. They told me never to come back home. Dad talked with me later, he said he was fine with everything no problems, but it was mom. I was surprised to hear him say that, I thought it would be the other way around.
My reaction when my son came out me: "so" Him: "dad i said i'm gay" Me: "and?" Him: "is that really all you can say" Me: "oh right were having cheese burgers for dinner" Him: "don't you care?" Me: "should i? You're gay so what you're still you"
A young lady who grew up near me and sometimes calls me Dad asked to speak to me this year. After she said she's a lesbian I nodded, she said "you knew!" I laughed and showed her my FREE DAD HUGS rainbow shirt. It wasn't hard to notice how she looked at other women.
I didn't exactly come put but I asked both parents individually what they would think/do if I married a woman. My mum said that she would be polite but would never refer to them as my S.O in any form and my dad basically threatened unofficial disownment. If my parents ever reacted even slightly this I wouldn't believe it and it would be the best thing for me but I know that's not going to happen.
I hated this scene because both of the parents were very heterosexist throughout the film--they'd always assume he was straight, which just put more and more anxiety on pressure on him. And then to find out that they actually suspected it all along. Clearly, they failed to send the message that they'd 1) be okay with him being gay, and 2) actively raised it as a possibility.
This movie is my Xmas eve tradition, ever since coming out 7 years ago, every year whether I'm alone or with a partner/family, I watch this movie, good times.
I kinda liked the scene years ago, however now I feel pity for the boy. They really let him wait a long time. Anybody who had to come out knows how scary that is.
I came out to my mother and she didn't really acknowledge it so I thought she was in denial. So at dinner about a year later I came out to her again and she responded with you already told me that okay so what. Coming out to my father was really scary because he was born in 1935 so older generation, but when I reconnected with an old friend who was a girl he thought I was dating and was glad that I was finally dating. so I had to tell him that I was gay because I couldn't live the lie. He took a second, looked at me (because it was late at night), and said okay I love you anyway no matter what but it's late and you have school tomorrow so go to bed. That was the end of it no discussion afterwards, no fight, no nothing, it just was what it was. He's been supportive of every relationship I've had since. I'm currently dating-- no, living my life with my man of 10 years, and my father has never once said anything negative. I know as well, that if my mother was still alive she would be the yenta she was born to be, and most likely be nagging me for grandkids.
I told my Latina mom I was pansexual and for a week straight she thought I was attracted to bread She was totally fine with it btw she is that supportive

Is that Marco from DEGRASSI?
My parents:
I fell in love with Nathan as well after watching this scene.
If my parents will hold onto that depressed face for so long, I’ll freak out

I agree. This is exactly how parents should react when their child comes out!
i am gay and I just had my ass destroyed last Christmas. Fuck it hurts like hell. But I'm loving it.
“Snap back to reality”
LUCKY! My mom burst into tears & I thought my dad was going to beat the cr@p out of me! Much better since then.
I wanna come out. But I don't know how. Any ideas?
Just do it.

My family had a total non-reaction. all I got was "ok so?" 😂
This makes me nervous
This is just the perfect Christmas movie. One of my all time favourites.

Best reaction ever. *laughs in lesbian* 🏳️🌈🤣🤣🤣
1:45 2:48
"I'm gay too if that wasn't clear- it was clear- okay." YES. this
I don’t know why I always think this is from the movie Elf.
This movie is my Xmas eve tradition, ever since coming out 7 years ago, every year whether I'm alone or with a partner/family, I watch this movie, good times.
That was just beautiful.
“I’m gay too if that wasn’t clear” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is literally my parents.
what is the name of this movie?
This is unacceptable. I'm bisexual and I'm more than grateful that that's not how my mom did.
This is awesome
He’s too pretty not to be gay.
Love the fact she brought up grand children. My how far we have come. It's to late for my husband and I but the fact it's happening, wow!
My mom bought me a bisexual pride bracelet the same day I came out 💕
I need to watch this movie lmao
My parents are the type of people that protest at pride month parades. If I came out they would kill me
