IF ONLY EVERYONE was as wise and tolerant as this pair of 13-year-olds.

When this kid decided to come out to his best friend, whom he refers to as “bro”, he was understandably nervous.

He explained that he didn’t feel the same way about girls as other boys his age and that it felt “weird and bad”.

His bro, though? Couldn’t care less. He assured him that he was “awesome no matter what” and that he would stick by him regardless of his orientation.
