Day 16 - Favorite Parents
Gen's parents in The Miracle of Teddy Bear. Not only are they hilarious but they way that they support their son in all his life choices not just his sexual preference. There is a scene were they are talking about how they would have loved had he joined the military or become a doctor like them but only because it was where they had the most experience and felt they could give him the best guidance but it was ultimately something he would have to choose for himself. Also its not just about accepting that he is gay. It is a part of who he is so its something they talk and tease about like you would with any other son. His family have fully embraced him as a person not just his sexuality.
Sorry i know that is a lot but i was so happy to see the way this family was portrayed. We need more families that don't just have a cry scene and say its ok to be gay. Show families accepting their children for who they are in all aspects of their life from the get go. Then coming out is not traumatic because you know your parents love you no matter what without question. It's just another part of who you are.
Sorry rant over!
