Dan Brian, Gay Teen, Comes Out To His Mother

From HuffPost Gay Voices:

A gay teen’s poignant coming out to his mother is making the blogosphere rounds.

As Dan Brian notes on his YouTube page, “Finally got the strength to come out to my mom…I decided to post this so that I could share my experience with you. Hopefully it will be an inspiration to those who do not have such supportive families.”

Though heartwarming, the authenticity of the video has been questioned on Twitter, to which Dan Brian has responded, “If she did know [it was being filmed] she would’ve worn better pants!”

Note: There are some comments on him being on his phone all the time and also about whether his mother was aware that she was being filmed or not. As a response to such comments, there is a note on the description of the video as follows:

“…I know I am on my phone the whole time. My phone is my comfort blanket. I literally cannot put it down when I’m anxious. I do not mean any disrespect to the content or conversation. OH, and she didn’t know she was being recorded. I put the camera in a tissue box on top of the refrigerator.”

What an amazing mother!
