Candy's Parents Finally See Their DAUGHTER!

POSE S2 E4: Emotional scene with Candy's long estranged parents showing up and finally seeing HER for the woman she always was!

[@travisjames3517]

What’s ironic about this scene is that it is the father who seems much more accepting than the mother.

[@darionwilson3666]

Travis James It be like that sometimes

[@nicholastotoro7721]

Sometimes is really is like that. When my former stepbrother came out (my father and his mother are now divorced), his mother threw herself into a narcissistic pity party and meltdown where she didn't come out of her bedroom for three days. Despite my father's own extreme shortcomings as a father, he was the one who told her she needed to get right and help her son, that he was going to be experiencing a lot of turmoil and that a lot of kids his age struggling with their sexuality turn to substance abuse and/or suicide.

[@marckid93]

So sis is an ACTRESS actress eh? That's impressive!

[@Shadow-zf5uc]

So when my cousin came out as gay his parents kicked him out. Then, his mother had a near death experience and an emergency open heart surgery. After she woke up she realized that if she had died on that operating table her own son would not come to her funeral. She also realized that if her son were to die before her she wouldn't be invited to his. These two realisations caused my aunt, a proud, republican, christian lady to accept and reconnect with her son. She also accepted all his friends, some of whom were middle eastern, gay, and Muslim. She also accepted all her son's boyfriends and his husband with open arms. I wish more parents thought about situations like this when disowning their LBGTQIA+ children. About how they'd feel if their child died with the last memory of their parents being one of rejection and pain. Or about how they'd feel if their own child wouldn't show up for their funeral. Maybe they'd realize that their kids are more important than their homophobia, biphobia, or transphobia. Maybe.

I agree. However, there can be a double edged sword...a lot of people de-transition and feel that after surgery something was missing, when they expected it to make them feel whole. I would love to support anybody who chooses what they want, but the grey area does exist and I would feel so badly to support a friend or family member who ended up feeling that way...like somebody should have fought with them to figure out who they truly want to be before going the surgical route. Its very heartbreaking. Just as heartbreaking as not letting someone be who they think they wanna be. Its so difficult...

usually in movie and tv . you don’t see black fathers in their child’s life. and if they are it’s very little because their toxic masculinity makes them think that only the woman should raise their children. but in this scene you hear about a black father who was not only in his child’s life but also did everything he could for his children making sure they lived in a positive environment to be creative and express who they are. and the fact that the father corrected himself after misgendering his daughter just makes me cry tears of happiness.

this episode has such a special place in my heart, especially with her fathers love. the day i watched this episode about 2 years ago, my father had a heart attack. he was thankfully ok but it was definitely a wake up call for me. i took my parents out to dinner the next week and finally told them i was trans and wanted to change my name. i was so scared that they would hate me or that this would be the final push for them to let me go, but i’m so glad i did it. this last christmas my mother gave me and my sisters the same gift, a necklace with our initial. when i opened mine and saw the “a” for my name, i finally understood what candy must have felt getting her dollhouse. it will always be the greatest gift i have ever received 💖

"Wasn't no guidebook instructing me how to raise a child like YOU." I'm nobody's mother so I'm not going to pretend that I understand what it's like to raise someone who is in the LGBTQ+ community.

You, talking with you was like living with someone who spoke another language.

Candy looked like her mom!!! 😭😭 this episode had me rocking back and forth!!!

[@yara.e]

I’ve only watched a few Pose clips in the past 30 minutes but wow they’ve all brought out so many emotions within me! I’m sobbing right now because of this scene!

[@AMP1317]

God, this scene is amazing. Every time I watch it, I cry. So many of us in the LGBTQ+ community never get that opportunity of acceptance, and love, from our families. To see it, and hear it, just lights up my heart. We spend so much of our lives hiding who we are and conforming to those around us. Being seen, and accepted, means so so so much to us and this scene always brings tears to my eyes. Such an amazing cast and show!

[@chrisolisfranc]

I’m bawling my eyes out! This scene is so beautiful

[@debgibson1334]

This is one of the MOST ICONIC shows to ever grace TV!!! FX did an astounding job with this series!!! I had no clue of how they lived and grew in their community, but this was informative and eye-opening!! Bravo to the cast!!❤

[@yu_love_sum_dee]

People claim this life is a choice for us but what would make us pick a life of heartache and pain constantly? I'm glad people are realizing this .

[@anjelarriaga3552]

This show has a lifelong place in my heart, and I will never forget the things it makes me feel.

[@africanbella28]

Candy was a complex character. She had to be tough to survive. I will miss her crazy ass!!! Such an exceptional and touching episode😍😍😍

[@niceasianchick]

" WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO SEE YOU? " It's always gonna be the question that will never be answered no matter how many more lives we sacrifice.

[@farfetched9296]

ACCEPTANCE is what we all crave universally especially from our parents no matter you're race, culture, religion, or sexuality. This damn scene had me choked up. I'm a straight woman that love the show that have been cast out by her own parents because she refuse to be controlled. All she want is acceptance🙂

[@tavauniacarter9166]

I can't stop crying girlllllllll play that damn role omg the missed LOVE

[@cheniseflowers8143]

Dad being so unwilling to let his baby girl go. "We're just getting started..." goodnesssssssssss😫😫😫😫😫

[@stevenmacias1474]

I haven’t seen this show yet but I clicked on this and omg. The tears just kept coming. So emotional, I am binge watch it now!

[@terrenceragin5555]

Some people will never know you or understand you until you were gone. But it's okay.

[@juana.huerta9421]

🏳️‍🌈 I broke down hard with this scene..... I wish for my hubby’s parents to look for him before it’s too late..... it’s horrible not being loved by your own parents. Not everything will be perfect but like a lot of us in the LGBTQ+ community we sure damn try to make it that way. 🏳️‍🌈

[@AlanChikinChow]

The acting in this.... phenomenal

[@Kingiwingi8713]

I love and hate this scene equally. Love it because it is so tastefully played and emotional, all the actors outstanding. I hate it because these stories actually occured and these poor women were never able to reconcile with their families, and it's so heartbreaking it makes me angry cry.

[@doktorlehar]

One of the most profound and beautiful - and yes, emotional - hours of television ever filmed. ❤❤❤

[@baileeharding8886]

I don't know how many times I watched this scene but I know it never fails to kill me each time

[@ohenriguedes]

IM DROWNING IN TEARS HERE IN BRAZIL 😭, THANK U SO MUCH CANDY FEROCITY. U'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN 🙏🏻❤️

[@nomahelele3063]

Blanca character is the best of them all so humble ❤

[@NamiBluee]

Yep this scene is so powerful 😭😭💕💕💕💕

[@D.MichellePope]

The conversation with Candy and her dad almost took me out. I love this show so much!!!

[@dylanbuchman8128]

😭😭😭😭😭 it's even sadder because while some of the other conversations with the cast were ones they couldve had with her in their head knowing her, these ones were specifically conversations that they would never have, about things they would never know, with her life cut short before such an exchange could ever happen

[@JAVONJXYZ]

Emmy award winning scene

[@gerriserenity2726]

I just can't, this scene took me all the way out... So heartbreaking 😭😭😭

[@TDKRISES88]

This damn show has me in tears almost every episode. But this episode? My eyes were running like crazy. I've rewatched both seasons multiple times, and it still makes me ball. 😭😭😭

[@alistairwreathens5719]

She has no idea how much I want to call her, tell her I miss my mama and my family. But I can’t keep myself around them if they don’t care about the pain they cause. I miss them so much, and I don’t want the next time we see each other to be in a situation like this.

[@somethingsomething5661]

Reading this hurts my soul, I hope you are hanging in there and that you continue to protect yourself until they show you the respect you deserve❤️ I’m praying for you and your families relationship to become good again.

[@xylabrown8337]

This scene is EVERYTHING! Beautifully done! Everything in one TAKE! Amazing! Not to mention I have tears and snot EVERYWHERE!!

[@arne.luciddreamers]

Can we just appreciate how Blanca handled the situation in the beginning

[@terrancesaunders23]

It was good to see the dad more understanding so many times we forget how evil the moms can be!!!

[@h3zANDRU]

Thank you for uploading this. I’ve been distraught all day rewatching this episode.
