Setting the BAR for what parents can do for their kids.
Papa is a nickname meaning potato, or calling a loved one "tater tot."
Papá means father.
"Whatever you want to do, you'll be ok. I'll be ok with you"
"I'm with you, I love you"
"If this makes you happy, do it. Do it. But do it good."

Every child deserves a parent like this, shook me when I realized having loving supportive parents is it's own privilege, it's not the default even though it fucking should be

When I was 15 my dad kicked me out of home for being gay. This video never fails to make me cry. That's what a father should be. I hope Papa & his dad are having a great day wherever they are today. Hug your bros everyone, be Papa's dad with each other.

As a queer parent to at least one queer kid, this makes my momma heart so happy. I wish my parents could be this way.

Dad couldn't be any more supportive, encouraging, and loving of his son yet the boy's reaction is "Oh my god, my dad's seen me". Fear of exposure has been so ingrained in him, it's gonna take more such incidents of acceptance for him to feel liberated.

Dad: If you're going to do it, you better slay.

I wish we all had parents like that. Positivity like that. Safety like that. May we all find our safe harbours in these stormy seas

This has to be the cutest and saddest video I've seen in a while. I'm in happy tears. I wish everybody was like this kid's dad.

If you get anything but love and joy from that video, I have no idea what’s in your heart.

And don’t want to know. Fuck those types.

You feel them! You enjoy them and the chance you got to feel them!
You cherish the fact that you can still feel them!
theSoulciologist
Save the video, watch it when we need a boost, show it to friends, show it to family
Roguishpotato
I think we're going to need a lot more of these great videos to get through to everyone.

Sit in it. Let them stay as long as they want.

Aw hell yeah thank you for sharing that

This is how a parent is supposed to be.
theSoulciologist
Save it, send it, share it
cheeriossuckbecause7
And live it. That trust a child has in their parent is ao important, and this moment can destroy it.
bourbonandbaddecisions
I don’t understand how parents can turn their backs on their lgbtq kids. They are your children ffs

If only... at least I got mine to come around.

We tell our sons frequently that we dont expect them to be perfect, just to do their best. Be the best versions of themselves.

A few good ol boys tried to tell them they're speaking spanish wrong in the comments

As a parent you have one job - to be the person you wish your parents were when you were that age.
That holds true for any kind of role of authority you might find yourself in tbh.

❤️If you can't show your offspring this kind of unconditional love... you're not doing it right. Do better.

Do it good, ok?

"Whatever you do, it is fine, but don't half ass that." - Statement I can get behind :)

Yes! Exactly this! 😄

This is what saving a life look like. And the power of sharing this video can help save more lives.

Me walking in if this was my son:
"Your foundation is cakey, I can see the lines. How many times have I told you to blend son, BLEND. And you're olive-toned you twat, stop using that cheap Cover-Girl crap, go with something pink."

The kind of support he deserves!

Tough love.

Nice!! Audio off I was confused by all the papas!!
theSoulciologist
Audio off it's also in the description. Papa, vs papá. They sound different, and are spelled differently as well
redtruck
You assume we all know that. I enjoyed your post. Now you're ruining it.

Just take it as an opportunity to learn something...

This makes me very happy. I go to Pride days. I'm 80, and a straight Granddad, I give hugs for all the people who have been cut off by their families!
mrsdowneyjr
Thank you. Truly
urusername2
2nd hug for you!
mrsdowneyjr
I've got two "free mom hugs" tshirts that only one person has ever taken me up on but I've "adopted" a couple of kids. We need to be the village, my friend ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜

Go to Pride affairs. There are lots of people who have been rejected by their families because of their so-called 'choices' [that their natures forces on them]. These people NEED those hugs, and the feeling of being cherished.
mrsdowneyjr
I do. I live in a small Ohio city that runs red but has great small pride events getting bigger every year. No hugs given there
