This Dad Got His Daughter The Perfect Gift After She Came Out As A Lesbian

The Christmas after I came out to my mom, I opened up the gayest gift I've ever gotten: a rainbow bracelet, a rainbow peace sign pin, and a rainbow flag pin.

She looked over at me after I opened up the gift and said, "I thought you could use some rainbow stuff."

And my eyes might have teared up a little. Maybe it was a little bit cheesy, but giving me that rainbow-filled package was also a simple and sweet way for her to show me how OK she was with me being a lesbian.

Turns out, my mom isn't the only parent to have this idea. Nev Sotelo, a 15-year-old girl from Fort Worth, Texas, got a similar gift from her dad after she came out to him, BuzzFeed reports.

“I came out as lesbian October 21, 2015. It was really hard for me because I wasn’t too sure how much of my family would be accepting,” she told BuzzFeed. “After coming out, my dad has been one of my biggest supporters.”

A couple of days ago, Nev's father bought her a rainbow umbrella to show his support.

"How adorable is it that my dad goes above and beyond to show that he accepts me," she wrote in a tweet about the gift.

And the writing on the umbrella puts the gift over the top. "Be you. Be true. Be Awesome," it says.

“I bought it for her because I know at her age it’s hard to be accepted in this cruel world we live in and not one moment do I want my daughter to forget that her dad loves her no matter what,” her dad, Robert, told BuzzFeed.

Cue the waterworks.
