We normally don’t go for the serious stuff here on the Daily. Yes, we take hot dudes with big cocks SERIOUSLY, we just tend to keep it light. And dirty! But after watching this video of a handsome young man putting it all on the line and coming out to his Dad over the phone…it had to be posted.
The post title is kind of a spoiler alert, but watching this is fraught with tension. You can feel this guy’s terror as he dials home. Something that a lot of people who aren’t LGBT might not understand is that it takes BALLS to come out. Especially to your fam.
He’s also a soldier and today marks the end of DADT. There’s no better way to mark the occasion than by spreading this vid around. Congrats, dude.

Well done!!
Hardest ones over, the rest will be easy!
Good luck, be happy, stay safe xx
I was in the US ARMY, then in the US NAVY. I served in Vietnam, at that time it all had to be Hush, Hush… You could not be Gay and be in the Military. I survived through it all ok though. This video is Beautiful, What this Soldier did is Great. It brought tears to my eyes. Love It. Everyone Should See This Video . Thanks for sharing it. Chuck Chavez
I never got the chance to talk to my dad like this. I know he knew I was gay, but I never actually told him. I was too scared and he passed away before I could sit and talk with him about it. Hell, I only came out to my friends 6 years ago. Most of them knew but were just waiting for me to say it.
Might sound crazy, but this video had me in tears. It takes me back to the time I came out to my dad. That was the hardest thing I have ever had to do.
I bet he feels better now.
That young man has balls! Here’s to all the young men and women in the Military that can finally quit living a lie…
Cudos to to him, and to his father!!! I served in the military and coming out to my parents was the hardest thing to do. And I did it in the “Reagan No Fags Allowed” Era. Even then, my roommate on the ship knew and didn’t give a shit.
It had me very close to tears, I remember when I told my Family and it was HELL. I feel for everyone that has the chance to tell their Family that they are Gay or Lesbian, just remember their is always someone who will listen to when you need them most!!! Congrats Man you did great!!
I don’t know how efficient it is to tell one’s parent such an important piece of personal information over the phone …. IT IS AWFULLY DIFFICULT to do it at any rate , but at the same time you leave the parent ‘alone’ to negotiate such a heavy load . I told my parents when I was 18 (not easy believe me) but I stood there and tried to at least face the truth WITH THEM … I don’t know …. maybe is a matter of what relationship one has with ones parents (and siblings) ….
Wow, this was really touching to watch. He has instant support from his family which is just awesome. Congrats to him for him for making that call and having a supportive dad.
I just recently came out to my mom and it took so much weight off my shoulders. I no longer have to live a secretive double life. My relationship with her is stronger than it’s ever been.
And on a side note….this guy is too damn cute. Thanks for serving our country and keeping us safe. YOU ROCK!
Hi to everyone im the Philippines where lovely persons exists… im here only for you…
Wish I was this brave. I told a couple family members I was gay and all I got were negative comments in return.
Congratz to you guy!
get in touch with me … barnedcielo@yahoo.com i expect for all of you more news…
I was almost in tears. Brings me back to when I came out. I was lucky as well; when I told my parents they told me they still loved me and nothing changed. Good for him. His father deserves congratulations, too, for being loving a supportive
damn – i’m crying buckets here !!
Kudos to this young man…! And, DOUBLE kudos to his Dad…! This brought me to tears… I wish I had this close of a relationship with my family…!
I AM SO VERY PROUD OF YOUR SERVICE AND YOUR COURAGE…AND TO YOUR DAD I WANT TO SAY “WELL DONE” YOUR REACTION WAS HONEST AND LOVING..I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT EVERY PARENT WOULD REACT TO THAT NEWS IN THE SAME WAY.
very cool dad wish others were as cool and love the support his dad gave
IDK, I think we should still keep kicking gay people out of the military. I mean, who wants someone that selfless, brave, and strong out there defending their country and protecting their freedoms?? Whatever…
(Love the part where he says everyone there already knows and nobody gives a flying fuck.)
Congrats, dude! You are an inspiration. All the best…
Very cool video and I’m so happy he had a better coming out then I did. I wish that my father would’ve reacted that way. And also THANK-YOU for all that you do and all the sacrifices that you make for this country!
I applaud this soldier. I am glad that gays and lesbians can now serve our country openly. I spend 9 years in the military and had to stay in the closet. It was before DADT so it was a while ago. I know how this guy felt, I too came out to my dad first and it was like the world was lifted from my shoulders. I was shocked at his response and it actually brought us closer.
i really dont understand this whole coming out thing.. i came out when i was 17 wasnt very hard. not to dramatic or life changing….. even though i grew up in a very homophobic suburb .. what was harder is each and every time i have to tell someone im hiv poz for 26 years now.. each and every time.. i face rejection and fear. from my own gay peers and the uneducated stigma that goes with their ,you be too, attitude , and there pity… hey guys being negative doenst make you clean or does being poz make me dirty. or untouchable..or unlovable..humph…my mom and dad loved me no matter what….i miss them both
this IS a touching and important clip.
But it seems I’m the only one slutty enough to say “Wow! that si one sexy guy”
I don’t understand why this guy felt that he had to do something which seems so deeply personal and private on the internet … while wearing a tight white t-shirt, no less. While the community may applaud the symbolism of this behavior …
… to me it seems like way too big of an attention-grab. This is just the sort of thing Lady Gaga would do.
ive been out since a young age and i didnt have to tell my fam bam mom found out told dad and bro and sis just knew but this video was soooooooo sweet
or maybe its just a way of showing other people especially kids that no matter where your from or what type of person you are its ok to be gay and people will accept you IT GETS BETTER is the entire point
I wish my coming out to my family was like this. Long story short, I was kicked out of the house and it’s a work in progress..
Fantastic!!! I was one of the lucky ones, when I started to talk to my Dad about this, he stopped me and said “Son, I’ve known since you were about 3 years old. I still love you.” Still, this is a great reaction for this man!
Very touching and moving video. Like many of us. we have watched his progress over the months.
Nice to see his face now. His greatest fear is over telling his dad, but more awesome is to come out to the entire military and the world.
Love him.
Been out to my parents as teenager, have a gay brother and sister as well. Very liberal upbringing. They have also been very supportive of my HIV status.
More families could benefit by being this, brings families closer together
i am so pround of what this young man did,he has balls.i wish my parents could be as pround of me as his parents r.i am send all the best 2 u
For what it’s worth: he’s not a soldier, he’s an airman. (Doesn’t change the character of what he did at all, but it’s a point that needs to be made. The Army has soldiers, the Navy has seamen, the Air Force has airmen. The Marine Corps has bottoms.
Please don’t let their negativity become yours. Their negative comments are just an expression of their wounds and judgments. Be yourself and let everyone love you for who that is not who you think they want to love. Life is too short to try and please everyone and it’s impossible to do that so live your life out loud and proud…and FOR YOU.
Everyone should check out the rest of his youtube channel. It is incredibly interesting to watch his entire coming out process and the emotional milestones he crosses along that journey. I don’t know personally know any gay people in the armed forces and it provided a lot insight into what living and working under DODT must have been like. My favorite of his other videos is probably him coming out to one of his military buddies while they were deployed. His reaction was perfect and shows how it is such a non issue to most of the young men and women serving in the military.
Welcome to the world, Randy Phillips! And when you finally get home on leave, give that wonderful, understanding father of yours a big long hug for all of us who don’t/didn’t have the great relationship that you have with your dad. You’re a lucky guy!
Not that this cutie will ever have a problem but if he needs a hottty top boyfriend, I would jump at the chance! He’s sooooooo cute!!! Glad his coming out story is a good one!! Xxo
As I watched this young soldier open up to his father, and reveal he is gay, tears rolled down my face, as it brought back my own disclosure to my parents. I wasn’t able to tell them in person or on the phone, so I wrote a long letter explaining what I was experiencing in my life, and what I had been through. It was a difficult time as I just had my lover of 6 1/2 years tell me he no longer loved me, and end our relationship, of which I had kept secret from my family. I sent the letter, and after not hearing from them in about a week, I called, and spoke with them on on the phone, my mother was crying, but said that she loved me, and my father said that it was ok, he loved me too, and had always thought I was! This is probably the most emotional thing I had gone through up to this time. I knew deep down they both loved me as ME. After that I told everyone in the family, and my grandmother was very accepting of me, which surprised me. Most knew!
Years later, I lost my father to a heart attack, I wasn’t there, and am so thankful I didn’t wait to tell him, about my life. This is something I didn’t want to regret, as life goes by so quickly.
I support everyone who opens up to their family, friends, co-workers, and even the military, for these are
true heros.
