In just one week, the YouTube video of gay twins Aaron and Austin Rhodes coming out to their dad has been viewed more than 14 million times.
Their courage got the attention of Ellen DeGeneres who welcomed the twins onto her daytime talk show this week along with their dad who, although caught by surprise, managed to say all the right things.
Austin Rhodes says when their dad answered the phone, it was the scariest moment of his life because in his mind he thought: "This could be the last time that we have a normal phone call like this if he takes it bad".
But their dad said: "When they told me, the only thing that came to me was: I love you both, unconditionally".
And he added: "They now feels like they can talk about anything and they can come to me with anything in their lives. I'm very proud of my boys".
Proud of all of them.
And they got a check for $10,000 at the end to help them get started in LA. Aaron looks stunned!
