Father's loving text to his son, after he found out on SNAPCHAT that he is gay

A young man whose ultra-conservative father discovered he was gay on Snapchat is sharing his dad's heartwarming reaction to the news.

Brett, 20, revealed on Reddit: 'My dad texted me because he saw something "troubling" on Snapchat. I had called myself a f****t in my Snapchat story when I was drunk, and one of my siblings must have showed him. He asked me if it was true that I was gay and I said yes.'

The following day, on Brett's 20th birthday, an 'extremely nervous' Brett received a surprisingly emotional text from his father, who said he was incredibly 'proud' of him and loved him more than ever.

Brett was overwhelmed with his dad's kind words, and decided to share the message on Reddit in order to inspire others to come out to their parents.

'That's awesome he is so supportive! This gives me motivation to come out to my conservative dad,' said one user.

Another man shared: 'Congrats! That's so heartwarming. I hope my dad can react the same way. I'm coming out next Friday to him.'

One user told Brett he was lucky to have such a loving father, revealing that his own dad said he 'had nothing to live for' after he came out to him.

He added that it has been more than a year since he told his dad he was gay, and now they have a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy.
