Absolutely beautiful! That's what a Christian should sound like.

“I was able to accept”
MasterMookie
Religion almost had it's claws in her. Hear how she was hesitant because of her faith to love her child.
imemmental
Aww man this was one of the best seasons of drag race
RavagedByTheSavage
Brooke Lynne Bytes is a stunning queen and EARNED her spot in CDR ♥️

Oh gawd that's heartwarming...

No one seems to get that this mother said that drags still equals bad/sin and needs forgiveness essentially

I always told my son, that I didn’t mind who he brought home. Black /white/gay /straight/male/female. As long as he loved them, it was fine
mykewljordan
frowning upon something your kid loves is stupid
sunnychick325
I don’t get why cross dressing is such a big deal. “Girl clothes” and “boy clothes” are social constructs that change with time and culture

This is what a response should be.

I liked that she was honest with the fact the acceptance wasn’t super easy at first

The drag queen she is speaking to is Brook Lynn Hytes. She’s now the host of Canada’s Drag Race.

Beautiful people. I love this show.

Nothin' like a good cry at 5:15 in the morning. Thanks a lot OP.

It's "Value Village", subtitle writer.
SinGirl75
My young niece is gay. I am the only person she has told. It breaks my heart that shes too afraid to tell her parents.
ILoveSpicyPeople
As a mother. This is everything. I’m a better human because of my children. That woman is a gift.
munchmunchmunch
Now THAT is what they mean by a Godly woman.
Override9636
This is true Christianity. The greatest commandment given is to love others as god loves us. She really does walk the walk.
Well this lady is a fucking liar saying she's not a perfect person.
JustSayN0
That's the most Christian thing I've heard all day...
agamemnonrichards
This is the way Christians should be

v Yoink - stealing this. Thank you!
MaidOfGlass
I experienced the same from a religious standpoint. My entire family vehemently hate me for not being religious.
30H1PPU5
I am the agnostic black sheep of a very catholic family on my side and married into a VERY catholic family on the other side!! Luckily, as
Older family members have passed on, subsequent generations have been getting more accepting. At least until the orange administration. That
Set progress back DECADES.
An interesting question my friend asked me. Are you agnostic because of religious guilt or truly agnostic?
Deeply and truly agnostic. My rational side tells me that the idea of a god is impossible. My less rational side tells me to look the hell
witalaska4
v I’ll always be a proud Atheist, but mom’s love made me cry a bit. Heartwarming
Saigon333
Atheist as well, but I've come to accept the fact that genuine love and wisdom are always valuable, no matter the source or ideology.
chiefrunswithscissors
Hearing an actual good Christian speak is pretty refreshing tbh
Fuck Christiany. Love mom’s heart only
Sort of agree because why tie yourself to something that has such a horrible history but also, humans just have horrible history in general
That's my mom too. If Christianity makes you a bad person, then why is my mom a Saint and I'm a shit bag? Your move fellow atheists
Pimparoo3
Probably because being a good person doesn't come down to your religion or lack thereof. It's who you choose to be
I just take it
TalkingSnake
I know this should be a heartening thing, but the faces of the others tell stories that make one’s heart bitter.
smallpoxrandolph
Ugh the poor guy at the end
gingerminge
It takes only one accepting adult to halve a LGBTQIA+ youth's risk of suicide. You can't fix parents, but you can be that adult.
RosesSpins
Agreed, for them to react that way speaks volumes.
GrumpyOldMillennial
Clip going around the Other App that's from Grey's Anatomy s12e1 that deals with that. It's heartbreaking and heartwarming.
peenesspingpongpaddle
Instead of being bitter make your heart warm and embracing to the others
TheCroaker
if a god would ask me to abandon those I love, I would have to abandon that god.
98Scythe98
Fucking A right!
GoblinShaper
Exactly. So many have families who haven't seen life this way and it causes a lot of pain.
littlecoatfatguy
"Why can't every family love like this" etc.
cutepiku
Yup, if you watch Drag Race, you'll see the vast majority of them do not have supportive families. It's brutal to hear every time.
Buhbasaur
Sadly it's all too common, which makes coming out all that more terrifying. As if coming out wasn't hard enough as is.
sadurdaynight
There's a reason the gay community is tight-knit. They're providing the support for each other they didn't get growing up.
Logical families
cozmicflea
We find our own families when blood turns away. Love is what makes a family, not blood. Many people learn that in painful ways.
MasterCatnip
That makes me sad and happy. I only wish everyone had someone they can be themselves with.
BanditKablooie
I have known a lot of gay people who would give their eye teeth to hear those from their parents. Dude's lucky and his mom is awesome.
When you win the mom lottery it's a great feeling. Love you ma
LMTMFA
To be fair, if I had eyeteeth I'd probably want them gone too.
ButtonsNoodle
Yikes. I want to keep mine for as long as possible. Sorry you don't have any.
shrimpfriri
Yep I grew up with a lot of gay friends and it never bothered me or my fam that I had gay friends. But I mean a lot of my fam in Thailand -
Were also gay or into drag as well. I have my even got some of my dudebros come out to it, not around around but you know lol
Life has enough problems in it for this to stop people from becoming friends.
breezybriv
Shit I lots of people want to hear that. I’m so proud of my out and loud LGBTQ+ community though. You’ve braved the worst! We love you!!!
LadyOfTheRedMoon
Goddam, I do wish. Ive heard my mom say such horrific shit about gay people, so I can't tell her I am too. I'm out to everyone except family
PrincessNakedMoleRat
When my child came out to us, our universal and unprompted response was "we love you and want you to be happy and true to yourself."
Srbic
I cant ever imagine being mad for something my kid just is. The love is unconditional. Yeah, apart from some murder or nazi stuff I guess.
IHateItH3r3
I used to work at a homeless shelter for LGBTQ youth, this hit me right in the feels
RearAdmiralObvious
I was a little sad my lil sis felt hesitant coming out to me. Our parents were confused at first but now they have her back 100%
Please don't think of it as her casting judgement on you. That fear extends from her observing the whole world around her.
Hammsammiches
Yeah, seeing how every single one of them just wants to be accepted by their loved ones. Ugh.
SmoothCurves
amen
fartyandbloated
I was so freaked out to tell my Mom. She didn’t care a bit. First thing she said: “isn’t that going to hurt a lot?” Love her.
noctarn
Fuck, count me in.
ZippidyDooDa
We had a program of an 11yo kid wanting to do drag. They fix him up with his idol. Seeing this older drag queen reacting to the kids
supportive parents and classmates were the most heartbreaking thing. It leaves hope for the future, but it is based on a lot of broken ppl
Building houses on broken bones
Draygen
I can proudly say my daughter came out by saying, "Hey, I'm gay. I'm also going to make some tea. Would you like some tea?" I, in fact, did.
AShartInTheWind
"Hey gay, I'm dad." I wouldn't be able to resist.
"No shit kiddo. Now go make us some tea"
Spuduck
Eye teeth...aaarrgghhh
Bigdragon12
Yeah that's a creepy thought
LooneyBird
Lol it's just a different word for canines, specifically the upper ones.
Do i have butt teeth too
I mean I'm sure rectal dentata exist. Have fun with that thought.
Katabare
My dad choked me until I passed out and my mom beat me with a shoe. So yeah.
NinetiesBoomer
I'm gonna cry
monybony
I’m sorry. That’s tragic. Hopefully now you have a support system around you that loves you for you.
I don't. I still live at home with my parents because the economy is shit..I hate it here.
DongleBelongsToDingus
You are worth being you. I love you as you are and will be your virtual mom. If you need emotional support please message me.
Trouble is this is supposed to be the fucking minimum. Loving your kid is supposed to be default.
MellowJalapeno
Mommy never hugged us daddy never loved us
It is default. Most parents love their kids very deeply.
Malibloo
If this were true, there'd be a lot less bullshit in the world right now.
ThePiethief
A lot of parents love the idea of the child they have, and violently reject anything that threatens to harm this image
Closeted middle child here, speaking from experience
Sadly not in the LGBT community
MosquitoHawker
Sadly not *SOME* in the lgbtq+ community. But there are also some exceptions.
CarpetheCarp
My son has a gender fluid friend. Our house is their safe place because their mom doesn’t accept them as they are. It’s heart wrenching.
Thank you for being that safe space for them, it will mean the world to them
kruttlapp
It’s absurd to me that she speaks of acceptance and not unconditional,deepdeep love, but happy it makes him feel good. And the rest was nice
cantthinkofaclevernameatm
We need to be conscious of where that lady is coming from. By her look, she obviously from an older generation.
While I can understand that, the same community on here praised a man for killing a 77yr old for using racial slur in an argument, yesterday
And as I write, the rest of the content was nice, and I understand her hearts in the right place, it’s just alien to me to “accept” ones kid
LoveFuchsia
You are just picking on the mother’s choice of words. Her action clearly shows nothing but deep love for her son.
Outforalark
She was probably taught that if you love them you'll try to "help" them (change them) not accept them. To me, she both loves and accepts him
I can like that take
MagicalLegendaryCookieMonster
I had the same feeling. Accepting means that it is not the norm and weird. If one of my sons come out someday, I'm just gonna love them as
They are. I can't accept them because I fell it would imply that what they are is somewhat bad. You don't accept a kid because he has
Blue eyes. It's a fact and part of who they are. As long as he doesn't hurt anyone or himself.
That’s my point. It is such a strange concept in my head to accept something, doesn’t sound like you’re all that pleased, you just accept.
If my daughter came out I wouldn’t accept it, I would celebrate it as she would have found herself, which is all I as a parent can hope for
