A Singaporean man went viral on TikTok after he posted a heartwarming video of his grandmother’s wholesome reaction to his telling her he is gay.
Unconditional love: On Oct. 2, @shaunshyen shared the tear-jerking moment on TikTok of him coming out to his grandmother, Must Share News reported. The video has received over 1.2 million views, over 227,000 likes and more than 3,300 comments at the time of this writing.
- The video starts with Shyen arriving at his grandmother’s flat in Singapore. “Look how happy she is,” the on-screen caption reads as she flashes a big smile at the sight of her grandson.
- The two bonded over a Channel 5 drama as Shyen tries to find the right time to break the news to her. After the show ends, Shyen finally reveals to his grandmother that he is gay.
- “When I was young, I have known this…I told my dad and mom that I like guys. Are you okay with that?” Shyen asks her in Mandarin.
- Surprised at the revelation, his grandmother replies with a “huh.” He then asks her if she is okay with it, and without any second thoughts, she says, “It doesn’t matter.”
- She reassures him again after he tells her there will not be any wedding because he’s not allowed to get married.
Not heartbroken: Shyen posted another video the following day as proof that his grandmother was not heartbroken after he came out to her. In the short clip, the elderly woman can even be seen joking when she sees him, saying, "Naughty boy is back again."
