"No one has the right to be a grandparent." That word is something many parents need to hear!❤❤❤

[@DawnDittberner]

Thank you guys for sharing my son’s story! Breaks my heart not all parents are accepting. There should never be conditions on love! So glad you guys are back for season 4! I’m recovering from back surgery and listening to the podcast is a great distraction!🫶

[@matt69nice]

Lovely story, wish my parents had been so accepting! Your son is lucky to have such a great relationship and support!

[@DawnDittberner]

I’m sorry you didn’t have a better experience. I truly feel I am the lucky one to have such an amazing son!!

[@Transfromjapan]

[@markc65]

Thank you to those who provided their coming out stories, and to Joel and Keegan for the wise and inspiring words. I'm sure it'll help those worrying what to do next. Cheers from Australia.

Regarding coming out to kids. I agree with your comments. I came out when my kids were in their early 20’s , i gave them time to digest and talk it through, I empathized I was the same person who happens to be gay. They were sad about the breakdown of their parents marriage, but they have all said they can see how happy and at peace I am now. It’s ok to be you we are not just parents, give them time and just be you.

Behind every Gay man, there is an story that made him a warrior 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🧿🧿🧿✝️✝️✝️

[@endswithme555]

What you guys are doing for our community is phenomenal. I’m an avid fan. Voted multiple times for this podcast and bought socks, I love your work

[@kathleenchild]

Great episode guys! Thanks to the subscribers that provided their stories from their different perspectives.

[@joemalick]

Great episode, because I think the more people share their coming out stories, the more confidence it can build in others to face their own. It can take some of the fear away, so I really appreciate you focusing on this topic for your season 4 premiere. Welcome back, and here’s to many more episodes in the future! ❤

[@robertschwartz4810]

I never actually "Came Out". My mother once asked me, "Bobby, why are all your friends fairies"? My father said to her, "Shut up, Eva. Leave the kid alone"! After that, nothing more was ever said!

[@Jamnicity]

Great to have you guys back for another season! I really enjoyed this episode, and I have to agree with you Joel, moms know! 😉 I also agree that a lot of times a bad reaction from parents or family is because they had some set expectations for what their kid’s life would be and they struggle to reset their expectations. I decided early on to never use gendered language with my boys in regards to any potential partner of theirs. Instead, I’ll say something like “your future sweetheart” or “Is there anyone you like?” That way I’m keeping my mind open to all possibilities and not telegraphing specific expectations to them.

[@ajaxon319pldunbar]

Welcome back! I loved the podcast and the new HHH merchandise. Looking forward to more episodes.❤

[@dawnevans157]

Happy birthday, Joel!! Enjoy your birthday for the entire month. So glad you are back for another season. I voted for you, and I hope your very important channel wins.

[@jeffwatkins352]

Thank you for coming back! Your podcasts are great, always a delight as well as full of good information. Keep up the good work!

[@rasferrastfarian739]

Thanks boys! *hugs*

[@eliasdenendodo]

Joel, you're spoiling the article!😂😂😂 But yeah, mum's almost always know.

[@chrisgardner1519]

Great podcast!! It truly goes to show that we all have different paths to coming out and how for most of us we are embraced and lived. Also, at the same time there is still a minority that uses outdated ideology and religion to put us back in the closet. Great episode guys! Love the socks.

[@donaldskinner-reid8998]

Gay Dads Scotland is a support group I helped set up in 2000 and it still meets in Edinburgh once a month.

[@cmaricha22]

Love you guys!!!!

[@Foggydays-b8z]

My little coming out story. Anyone remember the newspaper ads. I answer this guy's ad. And spent a lovely afternoon with a very gentle experienced and tender guy. All the abuse, bullying, and name calling fell away that afternoon. I was raised as a strict Roman Catholic my parents rejected me I never cared about if it after the afternoon I knew that I was gay, and came out to everyone I knew. Wherever you are Phil I'd like to thank you. Maybe your reading this... ❤As always much love to everyone❤Be proud to gay❤ Accept and love yourself❤

[@Krishicher]

For the gentleman who sought resources for his children, PFLAG is a good organization. I don’t know how they’re represented in the UK, but they have meetings in the US, and they have their website.

[@cindydevoeght1577]

Welcome back🥰 Yes as a mother I knew that my child was gay.❤ And i'm going to be a chihuahua grandma and I am very proud of that 😍

[@dubon9999]

The northern accent is far cooler to listen to than the southern. Sorry Joel. 😂😂😂

Hi guys just found your site and would like to share my experience. I am a 75 year old northerner from a family of 3 younger sisters and myself my mother and stepfather at the time when it came for my youngest sister to get married me living working in London with a boyfriend. I decided to take my boyfriend to my sisters wedding ( odd looks in the church) from the groom side, awkward looks on our side. Move on to the reception step father says to me well there is only you (ie me) left. Having lived through the time when it was illegal I just thought I don’t care I don’t live near you I have no feelings for you. So I said that’s not going to happen his response why not and I pointed to my boyfriend and said he’s why not he looked at me then at my boyfriend and then my mum and said I want you to both leave which we did. I never saw or spoke to him again and it didn’t bother me at all and the final thing about this story is that I lived for a number of years abroad and when I returned to the uk I discovered that he had died 4 years earlier

[@mikiewifnoe360]

I always figured if a parent reacts poorly, you, the gay person, should turn it on them. When they start getting upset, be an ass, stop them, and ask, why are you getting upset? I should be pissed; I mean, you are the one who made me gay.

You never left, how could you have missed us. Why can’t Trump go and be gone. Election getting exciting and overwhelming at the same time.
