Brothers Aaron and Austin Rhodes revealed their sexual orientation to their father, recorded their secret confession, and then decided to share the video on RU-vid to inspire other people to be themselves.
In an interview with the brothers to find out their feelings, they were asked several questions and they answered:
Why did you decide to tell your father together?
Aaron and Austin Rhodes: We decided to tell our dad together because we were shooting our "coming out" video and he was the only person in our family we hadn't told yet. My parents are divorced and we hadn't been that close to him for the past two years, so he just never got a chance. We knew we had to tell him before the video came out, so we just decided to keep shooting with the camera during the video. We had no idea that emotions would start to overflow as it happened.
What did they expect to happen? Were you surprised by your father's reaction?
Aaron and Austin: We really didn't know what to expect. He is a very manly man, he works in a prison and has never really shown his emotions. So, anything could have happened. We were prepared for the worst, but we hoped everything would work out. When he started saying the things he said, we were shocked. I was so proud of him and I respect him even more since we had that conversation.
What kind of feedback have they received after posting the video on RU-vid?
Aaron and Austin: The response from RU-vid has been incredible. We never imagined that people would react the way they have. The sheer number of displays of love we have felt now is so overwhelming and it truly is the best feeling we have ever had.
Coming out of the closet can be a daunting task for LGBT + people, especially when it comes to your family.
Telling friends, family, acquaintances, and even strangers about an LGBT + identity can be really difficult.
The fear of rejection, abandonment, or that the family may be disappointed by the disclosure of sexual orientation, is a present reality in these types of situations.
😘Love your children regardless of their tastes or preferences💗💗
