Meet “The Rhodes Bros.”
They run a weekly YouTube channel where they share video blogs about their lives as teenagers and aspiring models and funny lists about everything from being from the Midwest to pros and cons of being a twin.
But their most recent video is very different and a lot more personal. In it they share that they’re both gay and have decided to tell their dad together, on camera. What follows is an incredibly emotional, honest, and touching conversation about a parent’s love and embracing who you are.
The whole video is really touching. But what stuck out to me most of all is that the Rhodes brothers turned their coming out story into a chance to encourage others to love who they are no matter what, which is really beautiful.
Coming out is a different experience for everyone, and sadly not every parent is as accepting. But hopefully this video can inspire others to find the courage to talk to their parents. I also hope this video reminds people everywhere that you are who you are, no matter who you love.
Check out the full video below, along with Aaron and Austin’s inspirational message at 7:25.
