Bringing your significant other home for the holidays to meet your family for the first time is always an awkward experience no matter what, but it can be even more nerve-wracking when you're queer and you're not sure how accepting certain relatives will be.
Luckily
though, thanks to a recent, queer-inclusive Etsy ad, we get to see what it's
like for LGBTQ+ people to be wholeheartedly embraced by family, and we're totally
not crying, YOU are.
"Don't
worry, they're going to love you," a man tells his boyfriend before they
arrive at his familial home for a large Christmas get-together. Throughout the
clip, we see the boyfriend trying to get acquainted with his partner's family
members, and although they're nice, it's still a little bit awkward to be the
new person in an already big, lively household.
But at the end
of the ad, one of the elder members of the family hands the couple (named
Brandon and David) a gift (and handmade ornament featuring their picture),
saying, "We didn't forget about you. Welcome to the family," and
suddenly tears are running down our faces.
Watch the
heart warming Etsy ad for yourself in the video
below! (And make sure to have a box of tissues handy!)
