Hope you guys enjoyed the heartwarming stories~ If you have similar experiences, share with us your journey both as an individual in the queer community and as an ally.

[@asian6oy]

Loved it! Thank you for this. 🌈✨

[@JuzNicky]

Being allies isn't easy as well, helping them with white lies from them parents. Just to keep them safe least they fall into bad crowd, yet being misunderstood by all. Yet having to keep all the secrets, without understanding it all. To all the Allies out there! you peeps are not forgotten! Is there going to be a chitchat episode for these allies? Their stories will be heartwarming!

let's just give Fairul's mum a medal or something. she is an icon

[@ismail4927]

So sorry...nobody born with it...they choose to be IT

[@nhahaone]

@@ismail4927 🤡🤡🤡

[@thaddddeee5355]

Felt sorry for her that she had no choice but to accept the hard truth

[@Jun-si4db]

Fairul's mom so savage!!!!! "My son doesn't do drugs...didn't kill anyone...didn't steal...oh wait that's your son!"

[@Marcus99998]

The legend has spoken

[@ho1288]

@D 23 well.. then they shouldnt go around complaining about other people's kids at the first place

[@gabtng]

@D 23 they should get their house in order before stirring shit. Yes. It’s fucking hilarious

[@bobk3696]

@D 23 imagine your own child carrying out ‘misdeeds’ under your own nose and you have the audacity to get up on a high horse and make noise about other children. check the mirror hun

[@beatriceng3769]

@D 23 shut up karen

[@di5turb3dang3l]

Fairul's mum is so sassy! I already love her!! When she said "Love is love. Period" I could feel her overwhelming love for everyone around her. ❤️❤️❤️

[@aleegreyson1300]

I love fairul’s mom so much, she is such an amazing lady

[@sayurik]

I think it’s quite upsetting that John’s ex bf wanted to out John to his mother just to get back at him. There are just some lines you don’t cross!! 😠

[@duckiidooo]

"Give them the unconditional love. Love is love, PERIOD" i like this

[@RobertHeslop]

Fairul's mother is a total legend! My parents were so accepting about my being gay and literally only took like 20 seconds for me to come out and they were fine with it.

[@asian6oy]

LGBTQ+ *Singaporeans* where ya at!!! 🏳️‍🌈 🙋🏻

[@aliciasuen0814]

Glad to see the parents are learning and growing too :')

[@kai-dp3cg]

i think for asian parents especially or any parents maybe, we just gotta give them time to understand/ help them understand. they were brought up in a completely different environment and they frankly just don't understand. they dont care about other people but when it comes to their own kids i feel like they suddenly think it's the end of the world. To the parents: at first you may be surprised, disappointed angry i honestly (for me) don't give a shit, but i hope that one day along the line they learn to accept me for who i am, i can't change the people i love or are attracted to. but to anyone that wants to come out also be sure you know you will be safe. you know your parents behaviours, sometimes they can surprise you and be really accepting but sometimes they'll b violent so make sure to be safe before you come out. of course you can come out at your own time but also be sure that you are safe. i've had friends who got thrown out of the house with literally nothing and it pains me that i can't eve let them stay in my house. so also try to find domeone that will be there for you.

[@Blackr0ses297]

I love fairul’s mom so much! She is supportive and accepting and I believe that’s how all moms should be like to their child! 😊

[@brendatanwl]

Fairul's mum is da best, period.

[@khhthuiting]

Fairul's mum is so wonderful In fact all the mums in this video are. Really glad to see this :)

[@natalietai2306]

Always heartwarming to see LGBTQ+ related content on Zula:)

[@nt6253]

Our straights friends should be happy they needn’t have to “come out”! So stop saying you need a straight pride day!

[@jc-2088]

Thanks for the video. I believe a good number of people out there including myself finds it hard to open up to own family members. I'm so happy to watch this vid and knowing the parents are so happy and understanding to their children.

[@samuelwong1596]

👏🏼 ❣❤ Appreciate all of them for sharing in this vid ❤❣👍🏼 Happy to see John & his mum! Stay safe & healthy yah! Catchup someday!

[@boiledpotato9826]

Its so tough for them.. Hang in there guys. Fairul's mum is god-sent.

[@alifalwee6916]

As Singaporeans, our families are mostly conservative. However, no other parents like LGBTQ's parents are truly a rarity. These parents deserve all of the respect in the world for coming along on our personal journeys in coming to terms with our sexual orientation, learning to agree or disagree and above all, accepting their children with unconditional love. Big props to all 3 mothers in this video, but biggest love to my best friend Fairul and his mom, the one the only, Cheer Mom for being a part of this video.

[@papersunflowers]

These were so beautiful :')

[@lightygamingBW]

Fairul's mum english is legit top notch

[@RonLarhz]

Omg that mom is queen!!!! Stood up for her kid the savage way we all dream of but dun dare.

[@sushiroe_]

9:28 HAHAHAHHAHA PLEASE I CHOKED ON MY WATER QGHHAHAHAHAHAHAWHHA

[@tarepandaval483]

I have tears in my eyesssss, thank you.

[@alboy3419]

i am 40 and havent really had a heart to heart talk with my parents yet. it is a dont say dont ask asian mentality.

[@fflawsomee434]

Such heartwarming stories, thank you for sharing! How I wish every parent can accept their children just the way they are. We did not chose to be queer. Everyone has their own journey in life and I hope we all live together in a memorable one with the people we truly love regardless of gender ☺️🏳️‍🌈

[@vimalagovindasamy6061]

❤️ to Fairul mom.

[@benchen123]

Thank you for this video

[@j0hnappls33d]

i love fairul's mom!!!!!!

[@babyjoon98]

Really wish I could have the same relationship with my parents like fairul and his mum

[@smallmouth.studio]

Fairul's Mom is so cool!

[@thebaabstudio8989]

"I wouldn't want to lose a son just because of something that he didn't ask for," really hits different

[@Sonnenanbeterin1991]

The mum reading the.journal.. dont do that please..one expectation maby is if you have the feeling that your kid ks suicidal..

[@cassidylee9651]

Love Fairul's mum x 3000

[@mei-zy8nn]

[@Noa......]

[@thaddddeee5355]

Maybe the 15th girl is right for you. Never take the easier option.

[@kitty2527]

I feel for the parents, it not easy and I would not want to lose my child to this evil world.

[@ultralight5550]

So sad im single haizz even though im straight

[@alvintan2970]

What do you mean “ catch her frequency “??? Ohhhh… sorry … it’s the entitled generation. Sorry…

[@justjon292]

Hey bestie, John’s bf here ❤️ If you understood anything about their history, which I assume you do not cuz you’ve really only watched this video for 10 mins, you would know that “entitlement” did not and could not exist in their journey. But yes go off! Pls generalise and subject the whole generation to some labels and stereotypes cuz that is what we are trying to achieve in this video am I right? Hahaha have a good day babe 😘

[@alvintan2970]

True! You’re right! I have no right. My apologies! Sorry and thank you.
