There have been many coming out stories on social media, especially this Pride month!

One of which is a Twitter user, Jandro Madrid (@jandrogenous).

In the exchange of messages between Jandro and his mom, he was first asked if he knew the movie Love, Simon.

He noticed that his mom was being a bit happier than usual then suddenly said that they accept him for who he is. And they’re always there to support him.

“I always knew this day would come but not this way. We never talk about it but I know they have an idea. This is so unexpected.  I get to exhale now.

#Pride #RiseUpTogether”

“Tanggap ka namin Nak. Alam kong
pressured ka nung buhay pa papang mo.


Sabi nga nung mama ni Simon, you get
to exhale now. Kaya nak, ako naman ang
magsasabi sayo nun ngayon.

You get to exhale now my son. You
deserve everything you want. Andito lang
kame lagi to support you.

Happy Pride Nak! Mahal na mahal ka
namin. You’ll always be our baby boy”

His tweets have reached over 5,000 retweets and over 34,000 likes. Netizens react to his post.

“I cried not teary eyed but I cried. I am extremely happy for you and now that burden on your shoulders has finally been lifted off. I cried knowing that this kind of acceptance will never happen to me nor will my mom send me a text like this. I’m really happy for you.”

“Tell your Mom she deserves an award for being the best mom for you. Wow! She loves and cares for you kaya spend quality time with her…”

“To someone who has the same situation, I see this conversation the sweetest among all that I’ve read. I am so emotional with this. All love! Happy Pride! From CA”
