Watch This : Twins Coming Out To Their Dad, Will Break Your Heart!
I need a moment….pass me the kleenex please…. you’ll need some too!
Austin and Aaron Rhodes have a YouTube page and they decided to come out as gay to their father in their latest clip. At the beginning of the clip, they both seemed fine, but when they dial the dad’s number, they both start to cry and can’t even talk on the phone, too overwhelmed. I’m sure that if you came out to your family, it is a feeling that you can relate too.
They finally said what they had to say to their dad and he is very cool with it and he reassures them by saying “you know I love you both and that’ll never change” ! Awwwww so cute! :’)
Check out the video after the jump and let me know if you cried watching it!

Very cool! Congratulations guys! I’m terrified to tell my dad! Any suggestions guys? So afraid he’ll disown me!
That was really great of what u both did, I am gay myself and when I came out to my family my mother didn’t really accept me but later on she did and when my family found out they accepted me and I was really happy that they did and what u both did was great I got emotional some when u 2 started to cry cause I am a emotional person but u both were real calm about everything and by the way u both r hot, take care and enjoy ur lives…
Your dad seems to be a great guy and you are lucky to have him as he is lucky to have two great sons. I wish you both the very best in this new year and onward. Your message of being yourself and doing what makes you happy is a good one and I am sure you have been a great influence on a number of young people who might be struggling with their coming out. I am the father of a gay son that I love very much and of who I am very proud. The family loves and enjoys the company of him and his partner. Our family is very close and we get together often to share holidays and family occasions. Yet we know that there are lots of young people who are not as lucky and my heart breaks for them. So guys, be strong, be brave and be healthy. Love life and be happy.
Cried like a pussy. Brought back so many bad memories. My dad didn’t take it so well.
brave and beautiful clip—when I came out to my mom I told her everyone gets a different hand in life; mine just happened to have a lot of queens in it–she didn’t get it–this was over 20 yrs ago
Very touching video .. Congratulations to you both for being able to talk to your dad. He sounds like a great guy. I’m sure he will be there for you guys!! I came out to my dad about 45 years ago! He was a strict Italian, and I was scared to death! When I told him I thought for sure he was going to throw me through the living room window!! Instead, he reminded me that all he ever wanted was for me to be happy. He asked me if I was happy, I said yes, and he said that was all he cared about!! He continued to be one of my strongest supporters until his death! I was a very lucky man. And you two are as well! Enjoy your lives, be true to yourselves and those you love, and you will have a happy life … God Bless you both!
Too funny!Gay melodrama X2!
My youngest Son called and wanted me to go to another town with him (about an hours drive), and with nothing to do I said OK. On the way home he looked at me with tears running down his cheeks and said, “Dad I am gay.”
I told him to pull off at the next parking lot and get out.
We both got out and thats the longest hug I have ever given anyone. He and his mate are doing wonderful and I wish them the very best.
He later told me he thought I was going to beat him or drive off letting him alone, and he never expected my reaction…God bless him and his, and may the spirit be with them.
What an awesome dad! I am 51. I didnt come out to anyone because I didnt know how. I got married and had a child & now am divorced and have grandchildren too. I divorced because I could not live a double life anymore. I told my exwife, and my daughter and even my mom and dad and two brothers. Ex and my daughter were great! Mom and dad understood too. Mom passed away knowing her son was living his life on his own terms now. She was ok with it. My dad is still adjusting. At 77 he views life from a different generation. But he sees me as his grown son, making his own way in life on his own terms. My brothers not so much. There is so much bad blood between us that they cant stand me str8 or gay. They made it clear I am not wanted in their lives. Fair enough. But like the father of these twins said. You only get one life and you have to live it for you. My age has made me realize my sexuality is my sexuality. No choices. You get what you get in life and you just have to do what you can to make it work! Being str8, bi, gay, transgender, is NOT the end of the world. Facing your fears and embracing who you are is the most liberating thing a human being can do. Regardless of when they do it! Stay strong guys! Your dad is a keeper! So are the both of you.
You are two of the bravest guys I have ever seen or heard of. What did you took real guts. Congrats to each of you.
Everyone/everybody has the obligation and privilege to be just what they want to be, not what others want them to be.
Again … congrats. I wish I could meet anyone that would settle down with me without bring me their list of frozen
baggage. If they are out there …. let them step forward,
especially if they are between 25 and 45. pace am et terra.
Nicely handled, god bless. Do you two have sex with each other? I was wondering if your dad would ask that, but he didn’t.
Was awesome guys congtads! You dad sounds like a very cool understanding, acceptng guy. You guys are lucky to have his support. And by the way u guys are sexy as hel! Had to add that!
lucky guys, I know for a fact if I came out both my parents (and probably my entire family) would reject me without hesitation. They still have the stereotype of gay people being extremely flamboyant and feminine bottoms that would open the legs to ANIMALS before even touching a woman *sigh*
I’m 46 and still don’t have the balls these boys have. Doubt i will ever be able to open up like that. Cried like a baby
Good job…know what you felt like doing it. My dad was the same way. Thank god.
My father told me he will disown me and cut me out of the will and don’t come back to his house!
Congrades Aaron and Austin! You have a wonderful Father! Send that man some cigars, Omaha Steaks, you get the idea. At first, I wondered why you did this on You Tube. After looking at some of the other videos, I see that you are both modeling and trying to become famous twins as other twins prior to you living off of your looks for the publicity to pay for your life style. Not a bad thing, but now I understand the purpose. Gee, maybe the reason that Your Father was so accepting, is that he already knew, due to your modeling? Or other things that you did as kids. Still a cool Father!
You need to thank those who have been there far before you and paved the way in the gay life to do this on a public form. I just turned 55, and my coming out to my parents at 19 got me kicked out of the house within 3 days from the time I told my Mom. Life has been a struggle getting to 55 too, having been poz for the past 23 years of my life. I was still able to finish my schooling and become a Professional Jet Capt flying B-727 and other Corp Jets, living a very closeted life pretending to be str8 while flying with other str8 men who weren’t accepting of gays. Making comments about the fairies(stews) in the back of the jet,ramp agents, etc; until loosing my career to HIV and the drugs I had to go on to survive life. So, there are truly other struggles that older men have gone through to make it easier for you to come out on a public video. I hope that you don’t become poz, but if you do, you are in a career that it doesn’t matter.
Send your Father something though!! I haven’t spoke to my Father for the past 6 years, due to his new homophobic wife.

Hello,guys that was very beautiful what you both decided to do together and I’m very proud of you both. It brought back some memories but it was easier for me to,when iI ddecided to tell my mom I could have died but everything went fine. Just like for you guys,I’m proud of you both you both are nice handsome young men take care and be safe. Life is too short not to live,laugh,and love. I Love you both!!!
I’m Very proud of these guys! I actually know Austin from my hometown and can attest he’s a great young man. I’m happy for them both!
It was very moving to watch. I love it.
I came out to my family via a letter because I was stationed in Germany back in 2002. They did it take it well, it was hard for me as it was for them. I expected them to be more comprehensible when I told them for the fact they always say and show that they love me, not knowing that they also need time to digest such news read in a letter from their son stationed overseas. After a couple of months, things started gradually to go back to normal like I never told them anything. Coming from Haiti with a different culture, with parents from a different era, it is understandable if at first they are shocked. Through all the process, they never threaten to disown me, never call me names, never told me anything negative. The only thing that they care about is my happiness. Thank you for sharing your story, it was nice what you did. I hope other families and parents watch the footage and understand their children, give them the support that they need and deserve. Be kind and take care one another!
Thanks for sharing your video guys! You will inspire many guys. Take care and be safe!
Im 52 now I never did come out to my family but I did to my bff it was hard but I’m glad I did it made me coming out to everyone else some mush easyer and him understanding ment more then anybody else in my life
Good for them! Very admirable, I wish them the absolute best.
Awe! I never had that special conversation. My ex told my mom because we broke up after a fight & I didn’t deny it. She was more worried about the bruises on my face & body. I was 17 he was 38.
I should have told her earlier.
This story was heart warming. These young men are adorable. I am glad that everything turned out good for them. I love their father. We need more fathers like him.
Hi. Love you guys, Great job ,very proud of the way you handled it. God bless you and your wonderful dad. I hope you all have a successful year filled with love .
I think this is a great video and will help so many young people struggling with the same or not even the same dilemma but a dilemma none the less. I think you guys are lucky to have one another unfortunately alot of us go through this struggle alone. I’m glad to see that your family and especially your dad is accepting of you two. I wasn’t able to tell my dad before he died even though I wanted to. I wanted him to know every facet of his son. I regret not telling him now. You guys are brave. Be safe, Be Happy… and if you guys aren’t models you should think about it.
You guys have achieved what many others like myself long for. I came out to both my parents one Sunday afternoon after lunch. They weren’t supportive even up till today after 10 years…They still feel it’s a phase I’m going through. I’m still blessed to have them as parents cause never have they treated me any different to rest of my siblings…maybe they do…They love me a bit more…lol.. After all they from a different generation…so its kinda difficult for a 74 year old to reason with a 34 year old…I just wish things were different.
Congratulations to you guys and thanks for sharing and allowing us to view your special moment. LOVE and cherish your dad.
Didn’t cry, but this left me emotionally exhausted. I’m in my early 60s, and I’ve known I was gay since I was 5 (yeah, the teenage kid next door called me Queer, and even though I didn’t know what that meant, I somehow knew on some level that it was true). But I never told anything to anyone. My parents are now both dead; I suspect my mother knew, and my father suspected, but I was too scared to say anything. I’ve now been married over 30 years (same woman) and have two great kids. But something is so missing when you can’t be who you are. Aaron and Austin, I commend you and wish you all the best.
You Tube? Seriously?
Show Business…
but they’re cute
This is wonderful. I suppose that would be a big bit of news that BOTH sons are gay, but man, what a supportive dad.
By the way, to Glenster-there just has to be one stupid comment, just HAS to be doesn’t it? It’s not funny and it’s not melodrama.
I’m glad all went well for these guys! Wish much happiness and joy!
..ummm..yes, nice they came out to their dad..but, guys ‘it is what it is’ or ‘ive had to be more accepting’..he didnt ‘disown’ them as someone said fortunately..but he didnt really fully accept it. im sorry, i just didnt get as positive reaction from his responses as some of you thought. he was shocked..as you could tell from his hesitation, pauses when he answered, etc. But, heck, he knew..had to..
I came out to my family back in 1980 and I was very lucky to have all of there support and yes the world was lifted off my shoulders… thanks guys you most likely helped many young men and woman to be free
Ok, so am I the only one who believes the only reason this video is making waves is because these boys are hot? I mean, if they were average or ugly no one would give a crap. I think it’s time for the gay community to stop bowing down to vanity and start accepting the rest of the gay population. Sure, the video is nice, but who isn’t staring at their lips, eyes, and whatever else? I just think we as homosexuals are a pathetic bunch.
Congratulations guys. I cried, I understood and I was frightened for you. My Dad didn’t take it so well. It was my Mother who turned things around with him. She explained to him that it wasn’t his fault and he began to open up to me and my partner. We’ve been together for 38 years now, and my Father loves him like another son. Thank you for posting that. It’s difficult, but you did it. I’m proud of you. You have a wonderful Father. His love for you is obvious. Best of luck in your lives, young men. You have the whole world in front of you now… and the worst is hopefully behind you.
Glenn, find some very close friends and/or relatives to talk out a plan to tell your dad. Just like Aaron & Austin, you’ll be nervous, but, it will be a huge weight off your shoulders. I’m a 65 y.o. Gay man, and it was radically different, insofar as how my parents were told that I’m Gay. No matter the outcome after telling your dad, you’re still the good person who you’ve always been, and there will always be people who will love & respect you. Never let go of that thought. We, who’ve been out for a good while, support & love you 100%. Life is continuously full of challenges, and, as my dad said to me: “Don’t ever walk away from a challenge”. Take care, and go for it. YOU are worth it, for sure!!
My father was a pastor when I came out, and my mother is from Oklahoma. My parents were quite conservative growing up.. they confronted me the day after Thanksgiving in 2011 after I left a webpage open on my laptop in my room. I was planning to come out to them over the holidays and in preparation I was writing a letter explaining my feelings and I planned to give that to them. When they called me down and asked the question I stopped them in their sentence and told them to wait until I get something for them. I went and printed two copies and teared up as I watched them read the letter. At the end my parents told me they could no longer trust me, they couldn’t believe that I was part of their family, and they were extremely against it. I ended up leaving the house and staying with a friend for a couple days until they came to terms and realized I am still their son, and will always be. To this day it is an unspoken thing and I hope that can change one day. All members of my family know I am gay so that’s a weight off my chest at least. Two years after my parents divorced and I always wondered if it was something I caused haha.
These two guys brought tears to my eyes! I am glad it went over smooth unlike some kids these days they do not get that same acceptance. Insert cheesy phrase >It gets better< LOL
So strange that they would share this “private” moment. Am I the only one who thinks this is creepy? What a weird social statement.
am i the only one that would like to see those two do a porno together ?
~Andy the lived Happily ever after~
Home is where the heart is, and where love stayes strongest.
My parents took it mad & told me to leave their house. That it was a sin. They want nothing to do with me. I was 23 & haven’t seen my family in 28 years.
typical of the generation, just as well to have sent it in a text.
Your wonderful father hit ALL the right notes in his response.
We all hear (or experience) the stories of hateful ignorance, and even violence.
Your conversation with your father could serve as a teaching tool not just for parents of gay children; but for gay kids that are finally ready to bring up the “elephant room.”
I just watched the video and I think you two did the right thing by telling your dad. I wish I had your courage to come out to my family, but I do not. I am the oldest son and my family and friends look up to me as being the glue that holds our family together since our parents are deceased and I feel it would be a great let down to them if I did. Thank you for sharing this video with us. Blessings to both of you. You both are really sweet and handsome.
Hey guys just watched your video and can relate. My experience wasn’t as heart warning as other respondents satiated. I’m in my late 50’s and my parents are from a much different generation. My father did at first disown me. Put me out and said he never wanted to see or hear from me again. I was 16 @ the time. My mom tried to get me into counseling. The counselor was a god send for me he actually got her to accept me for the the person I am and not for who I slept with. My seven siblings are another story, 5 sisters didn’t have a problem with it, my older brother just said it’s your life you have to live it for your self. My younger brother still to this day hurls vulgar words my way everytime I go home. Doesn’t bother me anymore. I told him he would be a happier person if he would grow a pair and come out himself. Lol As others have told you, you must be true to yourselves, live everyday to the fullest and only regret what you haven’t done to inrich your lives. You said you felt like a weight had been lifted, trust that it has. I know that feeling very well. I never have lied about who I am since that first conversation. Stay safe.
To David Cooper….Almost the same for me…55 kids but I am still married and out to my family…..very difficult…kudos to anyone who comes out at anytime in their life.
Where are you guys from? I think what you did was so brave and I really admire both of you for it. I also think your both adorable. You have definitely made the gay community a better place to live. Have a great life and I hope to hear from you guys.
Good job boys!!!! You love your dad and he loves you, that will never change. I am sorry to say that is not the case for many of the young gay men that i work with. But we are trying to change. How can you not love a child or yourself? How can people continually categorize people? And then hate due to that-without getting to know the other person?????
I came out to my mom on the phone. I couldn’t say it out right but she said it for me. Then she said I was still her little baby. I was 21 at the time and lived in Dallas while she lived in California. It’s definitely terrifying coming out to a parent.
The great news here is that social change is, in fact, taking place. While there still isn’t 100% acceptance (perhaps there never will be), it’s easier than ever for gays to live iopenly than ever before. This piece was a refreshing change from reports that lead us to believe that hate is 100% alive and well.
Having lived in an era that made all this taboo, I found it to be very inspiring. I’ve always known thatbI was bi and when my son came out to me, my reaction was the same as your Dad’s. I still love love him with all my heart and will do anything I can to make sure his decision is as comfortable for him as it is for me. I am one proud Dad!
I’ve got three things to say about this video: 1. This is bullshit. They should have told Dad to his face. B. Why are they crying? They should be celebrating. Are they telling Dad they have cancer or that they’re gay? iii. These twins are cute, and I’d like to have my way with either or both of them. *gasp Robert Camp has, well, not spoken….typed.
Why do gays feel the need to publish this stuff and threw it in the face of others? I’m gay…I get it. I don’t need to throw it out for the world to see. Get over it. Do you see the Heteros saying ” mom… Dad… Oh by the way I’m straight… Just thought you and the world needed to know”. Boo whooo. These videos are just as bad as the endless military coming home surprise videos that CNN keeps publishing…yeah, we’ve seen it before.
I watched your video and cried. I am very happy for the 2 of you. You now can live a happy life and probably feel you have nothing to hide. I live in a very small town of about 1100 people. There have been 3 openly gay guys here and 2 were beat up different times and the other finally left. I am an only child, had elderly parents and didn’t actually know what I was until, I was early 30’s or so. Do own my own business and very worried what the outcome there would be. My father was in his mid 80’s and passed away suddenly just a few years ago. My mother has serious health issues and is still here. She watches a lot of tv and just the other day she said she was worried who would be with me one of these days. I did move in with her to keep her out of a nursing home when my father passed. I do work about 50+ hrs a week and have little free time. She said thank god you don’t want some guy to be with you or I might as well drop dead now. WOW!!! I am honestly happy for younger people in a bigger city who can find somebody who cares about them, and greet them with a hug and say glad to see you or nice to see your home. You guys are very nice looking and I would be proud as hell for you to have been my sons. Best of luck to you in life!!
YAWN………….
Awesome guys……!
God bless you both, you guys have a good dad he love you so much, hold on too that as long as you live. I would love to meet you and give you guys one BIG ASS HUGE. I’m 63 yo but you would think i’m 25 yo, I came out a long time ago to my mom and it was so easy for both of us. SO GOD BLESS you and thank you for doing this for your sisters and brothers in this wonderful life of ours.If you guys ever in Pittsburgh, Pa. looking us up.
Steve and Tom PS would love to hear from you guys

Coming out is so boring. Getting all dramatic about is so boring.
all the gushes from 50+ year olds, lol
Congratulations, for taking charge of your life and your destiny. You have no idea how you both have changed the course of your lives with this one very personal event. You have no idea because you no longer have to hide and lie about who you are. I would also like to thank you for sharing something so personal, you have no idea how it moved me. I spent a large part of my life fighting for gay rights. Coming out is a such a personal and monumental right of passage. Your story moved me because mine was no picnic in the park. It was Aug 21st 1979 and I was arrested in a sting operation by our local police. I was 16 years old. I can remember sitting in the jail cell as they made snide remarks. I was so relieved that it was finally going to be over. I would’t have to lie any more or try and figure out how to tell my parents. The police were going to do the honor of telling them. Only they embellished the story since I was a minor they felt they would have to charge me something more serious other wise someone might question why they were talking to sixteen year old boy about sex. So I was charged with prostitution. I have spent my whole life having to lie about how I came out because I was embarrassed by the story. It motivated me to fight hard for guys like you so you could come out on you tube if you wanted to. I am just so grateful that you shared it with the world.
