So Inspiring. We all need parents like you to accept their child as they are ❤😊 More power to you.

[@IamSoangelic]

​@aryanbhusal458 gays lesbiyan hazaro se saalo se samaj ka hissa rhe है पर समाज ने इसे कभी अपनाया नही, rajao ka इतिहास उठा के देख लो उनके हराम में आदमी और औरत दोनो होते थे, even muslim नवाब तो फेमस है नरम गरम शोको के लिए तुम कितना भी नकार दो सच्चाई को वेस्टरनाइजेशन बोल के सच नही बदलेगा

[@devk6739]

​@aryanbhusal458 Half baked knowledge is very dangerous, bro

[@idealdo]

Even Vishnu became Mohini and had an affair with Shiva. There's nothing wrong with your son ❤

[@shivjain]

Exactly

[@PS-dd8oo]

Maturity is when you realise that Hinduism actually not only support but accept QUEERNESS...(LGBTQ+)

[@Xxxlgey]

Mohini is completely Female Form / avtar of Vishnu, but not like chhaka... who can't able to give birth a child, according to puran mohini gave birth a child named Ayyapa.. , it's impossible to happen in case of gay..affiar Mind your half knowledge and half mind you "**Gay.. 😂

[@Xxxlgey]

​@@PS-dd8oo maturity is when you realised that queer pride involves anti indian slogans, like free kashmir, ajadi from hinduism etc etc... Are you a dumb bumb???

[@shirleykavari3717]

A mother is a mother who supports her children no matter what her children are and gay people are very kind and caring all they need is love as you mentioned hats off to you mam god bless you ❤🙏🏻🤗🇿🇦

[@wildgoose3958]

Such a positive story all around.. Kudos to the big brother for looking out for his kid brother, and to the extended family for rallying (ally'ing) in support! 🌈👍💖

[@thetouchingsouls]

Thanks a lot

[@satyajitmishra8281]

Wow simmi ji, you are amazing mom, every parents should accept this

[@vineetasinghverma7505]

Dear Simmi Nanda : This is your daughter ! Although you are like my mother ; but I do want to inform you ! that differentiation is not a problem ! rather it is discrimination which is problematic!

[@ishakanyavee240]

I am really proud of you jee. This is the life what he deserves. So accepted as your child. The most beautiful thing you did for your loving child.❤ from Sri Lanka.

[@rashminaik9979]

I am also gay everyone who knows me knew about it and my father and mother support me I also had a little opposition in the start and there is no opposition I am so happy

[@ranjitsingh8246]

hi dear I like you ❤❤❤

[@nh-vt5ws]

I support gay people.but not encourage those guys wearing Saree and ornaments💔.

[@beteayes]

Jo saree aur ornaments pehente h wo Transgender hote h. Gay ladko ki tarah rehna pasand karte h. Humko dono ko accept karna chahiye.

[@lokiloki2504]

​@@beteayeskis duniya me rehta hai bhai gay bhi saree pehnete unhe cross dresser kehte hai

[@debopambiswas3862]

Hats off Maa. The only thing I want to add that actual gay orientation in true sense does not imitate or try to become a woman in any way. In the colourful vista of sexual orientation, there is diversity here.

India what we have become 😢 so much of western culture influenced us so badly...

[@swatisah4031]

Are you dumb! Bas KZbin ka gyaan mat bako! Yeh bhagwan ne banaya hota hain. Bhagwan jaroor male bana dete h but woh same sex ki aur attraction wale sensation dal dete h ek bacche mein which is actually a fault but atlast you have to accept it.

[@nisargdhamecha8476]

Tu Western clothes pehnta/i hai ki Dhoti/Saree? Cake khaata/i hai na? Electricity se lekar Internet, Camera se lekar Toilet... Sab Western culture he hai. Itni he problem ho to jaa Baba Adam ke zamaane me aur jungle me nanga ghumna.

I feel like nearly half of the world's population maybe belong to this community. I have never express myself to anyone being Bi, I wish if I get courage to this and hoping to share this to my mom first. And I wish if my brestfriend came out to be from this same community who have never date anyone at his age of 26 years

[@Ak.disaster.]

It's a very good thing, the boys who are attracted towards other boys are leaving the girls for us 👍

[@My_Vlogs_Onjo]

From the beginning you have to accept your son as a gay, because you gave birth to him as a gay, that was not his fault. I am sorry for LGBTQ people but I like them, they are beautiful in heart.... ❤👍🙏💐
