Gay Man's Post About His Ex-Jehovah's Witness Parents Finally Fully Embracing Him Is Giving Us All The Feels 😭

Azya Babula was raised by Jehovah's Witnesses. At age 21, he came out to his parents and their reaction was more than he could have ever hoped for.


Just a few days ago, Babula posted a teary video on his Twitter with the caption:

"My parents(ex jevoha's witnesses) [sic] finally told me they loved me and fully accapeted [sic] me being gay and then we had a full 2 hour convo about boys and exes and stuff. 21 years later y'all and the burden has been lifted off my shoulders IM SO HAPPY BUT CANT STOP CRYING"

According to the Watchtower Online Library by the Jehovah's Witness website:

"Jehovah's Witnesses reject all sexual misconduct, including homosexuality."

So the fact that Azya's parents accepted him with love and an eagerness to discuss his love life is huge.

According to Pink News, Babula tried to come out to his parents in middle school but, as they were still practicing Jehovah's Witnesses, they did not accept him. Azya's relationship with his parents grew "very strained" and his grades began to drop.

As he was finishing high school, Azya's parents left the church but still struggled to accept his sexuality.

"But, finally, two days ago, we had an open discussion about marriage and kids and where I see myself and my parents even threw some jokes in."

Azya joyfully continued:

"They finally told me that they understand that it's not a choice, apologized that it took so long, and now I can freely talk about about it. But it was a very long and hard journey to get here."

The young man also took to Instagram to commend his parents' love, with a caption saying:

"Family time is HOT 💖#bestfriends"

Twitter is alight with love and joy for Azya and his breakthrough with his parents.




Some viewers had a personal understanding of what Azya went through.






Congratulations to Azya and his parents on their commitment to love and acceptance.

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
