"You don't treat people differently, no matter how ever different they are." Such beautiful and wise words from your young son!!

[@SisterShirley]

I agree, you don't treat people differently. But sincere question: why feel the need to throw a parade? Just live your life and be happy.

[@kerrymain1623]

@@SisterShirley I agree BTW my son is gay but heterosexuals don't have a parade/party for being straight it's one thing being proud of who you are it's another to throw a party for it but on flip side if society were more excepting people wouldn't feel a need to parade/party for being who they are... Be proud people of your self and be happy in your own skin

[@jeanetteborer2873]

The parade is more of an awareness/acceptance thing…it’s never been difficult to be accepted as a heterosexual sexual..but that’s not true for the LGBTQ+ community

[@melodyleong]

Sue and Noel's reaction to Luke's coming out is probably the best one could ever hope for. Understanding and not forced or too over-the-top excited. Anyone would be lucky to have them for parents. And so brave of Luke.

Your reaction was excellent to be honest, “normalizing” the fact that she was attracted to women and not making such a big deal out of it seems like what everyone should do. People shouldn’t even need to “come out”. But for that to happen people need to stop assuming everyone’s straight first. It’s not their fault for doing so, it’s how most people are brought up, thankfully things are starting to change, at least at some extent in my generation. Kudos for you being a great mom.

Lovely family! When my oldest child came out to me as bi 14 years ago, I did not show them the support like Luke's awesome parents did. Being raised a strict Catholic, I was taught that being anything but straight was a sin and I was worried about this for them. I cried for a week straight. Thank God I know better now that God loved us all just the way we are and no matter who we love. My child has also since told me that they are genderfluid and asexual. I handled this news with a big hug and lots of support.

This family hands down is the best in the world! I never saw a family understand each other the way that they do. People will have two to three kids and they can't even understand that many kids at all. Sue and Noel, of course have 22 kids and understand each and every single one of them. To the point where she knew that he was this for so long and it felt so good. Once they sat down with him and she was like we accept you and so did Noel. It just shows that they were meant to be parents. And meant to have these many kids. I mean it's not that I'm saying okay. You can't be a parent but some people are not fit to be. They really love what they created and it's just very beautiful. Can I see the love they have for each other as well that really ties into the kids because you know you have to have a good solid foundation for each other as a couple to raise your family together and they do have that dynamic and again that is where that beautifulness comes out. But also yeah their kids are well rounded and have great heads over their shoulders because of that dynamic of them.

[@jinglejacs]

I know this was a while ago but I've just watched it and apart from loving the way your family dealt with it, I wanted to scroll through the comments. There was a couple of idiots just wanting to cause issues but I was so happy to see that most comments were so supportive and accepting. We are getting there slowly and it starts with young children being taught that its 'normal', no one is born prejudiced, it's a learned behaviour. My son was 12 when he came out as gay and I'm thankful that he only had a few mild pushing/shoving issues at school before the school clamped down on it. His family and friends were all perfectly fine (most, like his dad and I, already knew) and he was fortunate to go through school life, college and Uni with no backlash. Unfortunately, it's not always like that and some people still struggle so much which is why Pride is so important. It not only gives people a chance to be exactly who they want to be, it gives thousands more a 'talking point'. The more we talk openly, the more we can silence the ignorant ones. Much love to the Radford's and to all those who took the time to make Luke realise that not everyone will judge him, the couple of idiots got shouted down in the comments too so bonus!. xx

This has to be the best family for Luke to be in , they obviously love him to absolute bits ! Xxxxx 🌈💖🌈💖🌈💖🌈💖🌈💖🌈🌈💖

I am not surprised, of the support in this family, for such a large family, there is bound to be difference of opinions, I have live through it, but you and Noah have such a balance, very proud of you, and the respect you all have for each other, my hat goes out to you,

Kudos to such a loving home. With 22 kids statistically 10% or more (or 2.2 kids) could easily be gay. I’ve known many bisexuals but most of those (all but one) ended up being gay, kinda using bisexual to test the waters. Best to you all

[@Carolina-kb4jo]

Luke, I am so happy that you came to a moment in your life where you felt comfortable sharing this with your family. I think it is so very important. So glad to have you as a part of this beautiful community of ours! 🏳️‍🌈 Sue and Noel, you are just WONDERFUL, I’ve been watching your family grow for years and seeing all the love and support you had for Luke, and for all of your kids in general, really warmed my heart. Sending you all my love and support from Italy💕

[@mwall8687]

[@countrycaliforniagirl32]

I'm crying also. Im trying so hard to hold it in. So proud of Luke.

[@meshiesno]

What a wonderful family. Love how supportive you are with each other.

My son and I are so close he could tell me anything but it took until he was 21 before he could tell me he was gay He knew I would be the easiest person to tell He was 11 when he knew What hurt me the most was that it took him so long to tell me He’s happily married now to a guy from America Luke so proud of you xx

[@China-Clay]

Sure wish I could’ve had this background at a younger age, I didn’t understand the whole issue until I was 60 years old. I have much love for all my friends now in many better ways, and feel badly that I never “got it”, my grandfather was gay and lived a tormented life back in the day, it makes me so sad but we can only move forward now 💙💚💛🧡❤️💜

[@CovidConQuitTheCensorship]

My nephew is gay and eventually entrusted me and my children with that, because he knows how open we are, however the rest of the family don't know. My parents are very elderly and my other sister and her family are very stuck up and opinionated, he chose not to tell them. I respect his choices but wish he could share his life openly. He has a long term partner, been together for a few years. He's very charming and articulate. Everybody loves him. How sad your Grandfather had to hide that

[@charliesoul31]

OH this was so beautiful and touching! Congrats Luke! Everything you said resonated with me (as a bi woman), and your family's response was just amazing. I hope you can come to London pride one day because that feeling you described of things feeling "right" is just so powerful!! Congrats again :)

[@rosalynrandle6041]

LOVE and support is what we all need most. Luke is extremely Blessed to have that from his family!
