An ‘old school’ Italian father and his son have reason to celebrate following a surprise ‘Born This Way’ tattoo that was permanently etched on the father’s wrist in support of his son’s coming out.
The two, whose names have not been identified, describe the story on their YouTube channel:
So: my brother came out that he was Bisexual last year and it was one of the hardest things he’s ever had to do and one of the most courageous. He was most nervous about coming out to my old school Italian father who can be a bit of a hardass but mush at heart. So my brother decided to get born this way tattooed on his wrist in gagas handwriting after he met her, for obvious reasons, and it meant and still does a lot to him. My dad yesterday before Dylan came home for spring break got born this way in Italian tattooed on his wrist to show his acceptance and deep love for his only son who he is so proud of every day. I love my family
The two share a warm embrace following the tattoo revelation:
