"Dad, I'm Gay" Armenian Man Comes Out

Growing up in a traditional Armenian family, Jose was exposed to homophobia at the hands of his own family on a regular basis. Feeling closeted and shunned, he immigrated to Canada and finally lived openly as a proud gay man. Years later, he gathered the strength to come out to his mother in an explosive confrontation during a family vacation but regrettably he did not come out to the rest of his family - including his father - until now. In a tearful message directly to his father, Jose finally comes out to his father and the rest of the world with this powerful video. His goal now is to improve the lives of all LGBTQ+ Armenian youth by sharing his personal story.
