Reno, this is one of the best discussions I have ever had the blessing to experience on this channel!!! Thank you to you and your beautiful mother for sharing your journeys and stories with us. This was such a raw and revealing a conversation. Love, peace, blessings and light to you both! ❤️🙏🏽
Allison your unconditional love and acceptance for Reno was deeply healing for me to listen to. And when you spoke at the end about gay men carrying the energy of the masculine and feminine it brought be to tears and made be proud. Thank you Reno and Allison - this was amazing.
Mama Reno, you’re awesome af ! You let Reno be Reno & you loved and defended him unconditionally. Pat yourself on the back for being an awesome Mom…yall even have the same laugh 😄
I didn't expect to be emotional and crying by the end of this sweet episode, but I am. In many ways your mother/son relationship mirrors my Mother/Son relationship. As well, your "dad's" uncomfortable reactions paralleled my Dad's confusion about me as a soft, tender, stylish, artistic boy...so opposite from his personality. Mom accepted (adored) me while Dad was always flummoxed about his son. He and I eventually got through it, though, and we learned to understand our different temperaments and find mutual acceptance. Thank you both for your candid discussion. I feel more whole because of your transparency. ❤
Reno , your relationship with your mother reminds me of my relationship with my mother, very strong and not always easy but she loves me she she accept me at the end of the. ♥️
Omg is this the sweetest episode ever?! Reno, you’re the luckiest gay man on earth! Your mum is simply the best. My mum, bless her, she has always been amazing, but she was also raised by my small town grandparents, in an extremely catholic country. She wanted to protect me, she and my dad never let me play with “toys for girls”, they wouldn’t let me express my femininity, they forced me to take football lessons and prevented me from spending time with girls, they even took me to a charlatan that claimed to be a psychologist for kids and who unfortunately gave them the wrong advice. Nonetheless, I came out to them officially when I was 25, even though I started coming out with many other people years before. It took me very long because of different circumstances, but I definitely could have done it much earlier. When they received the news, they said they had always known, and they reacted incredibly well. They’ve been extremely supportive, they love my husband, so it’s a happy ending. Thank you so much for sharing, it was pure joy.
Wow! Thank you for sharing your story and we're happy for your happy ending despite the difficulties you had. We'll relay this to Reno and for sure he's gonna love it.🥰😍
My catholic mom cried for a month with the News about me being gay. I thought she would never recover from it. Luckily, many years later (and up to now) she is practically the only one in my family that genuinely shows interest in my personal life. She has met my last 3 Former partners. Amazing… It gets better 😊
I relate to so much of Reno's story, even though the superficial circumstances of our childhoods appear to be very, very different. I too played with Barbies. I put on my mom's heels and I used to shake my little booty when the She-Ra theme song came on, and lift my sword into the air. When your mom said "nothing ever got by you" it resonated with me, being hypersensitive and hyper-observant. "Tough but fragile" also rang true for me. I also called an adult phone line when I was 16 and when the phone bill came I took it out of the mailbox and figured out how much my call was and handed my mother the bill and the cash and said I don't want to talk about it but here's the money. And lastly the idea of being two-spirited. I never knew that phrase/concept until this episode so it's nice to have words for this. What I know for sure is not all gay men are two-spirited, it really is a special thing that only certain individuals, light workers, on the planet possess. You have it and I have it. I've never had the opportunity to hear these types of affirmations from my mother of origin so I am graciously accepting your mother's words as though they were spoken by my mother, to me. Thank you for this gift!
Listening to this episode makes me love you even more, Reno. Your mom is awesome, and I adore the relationship you have with her. For sure, this isn't the only time I'll be watching this episode (I'll watch it at least once more). This may sound stupid, but when I saw the title "Mom, I'm Gay" I immediately thought of Todrick Hall's song "I Like Boys". Anyways, a huge thanks to Reno and Reno's Mom for such a great episode!🥰
(a) That woman is not old enough to be your mother. (b) I can't wait to make space to be present for this conversation. Yesterday, I swapped coming out stories with a 60-something gay, Black man, so I can't wait to hear yours. Unfortunately 40 years late for my mom, though now we're fine. For now, just wanted to say thanks.
We're sorry you went through that. It’s not easy to face rejection or misunderstanding, especially from a parent. We hope you’ve found support and acceptance elsewhere-because you deserve it.❤🩹💕
Haaaaa ! I was told that by a family member and after praying and asking Jesus to make me straight for five years, I stopped and embraced my queerness 💖
@ That part. We didn’t ask to be born, we didn’t select the time period in which we were born into, we didn’t select our family, our genetic makeup, physical features…any of it ! This is how we are.

My mom's reaction was, "you can pray away the gay".

@@ascott2168 they don't understand. We didn't ask for this. It happened to us.
