Having in mind how sensitive some topics related to LGBTQ+ are and how strongly some people react to the news of their close ones being gay, it becomes hard and scary to come out. But because of such premeditated thoughts, people often forget that revealing who you really are to your close ones can end up with heartwarming and complete acceptance that will free you from any kind of constraints and doubts. At least that’s what happened to a 28-year-old entrepreneur and engineer Simon Crowther who decided to share how accepting and adorable his grandparents are after finding out that he’s gay.

The Twitter post that received almost 50 thousand likes contained a screenshot of an email sent to Simon from their grandparents. In this email, the grandparents revealed that they have found out that Nottingham Evening Post Magazine wrote an article about the young businessman. What caught their attention was that Simon shared that he came out as gay to his family when he was 21 years old. However, the grandparents didn’t know about this because their grandson didn’t want to risk their relationship upsetting them with this news.
