    Just read this on Tumblr.

    Clearly the dad was homophobic (or at least, phobic about gender stereotypes), and how cool that the older brother stood his ground and validated his younger brother's choices.

    Epic win that one. Though I suspect that story didn't end there, sadly.

    Aww, that's really sweet. That older brother is pretty awesome, and that dad needs a reality check.

    At least the little brother has someone who is there for him. Even if he can't change his father's mind about what boys should like, his brother will always be there to tell him it's okay to like what he likes and be who he is. That's more than a lot of kids have and it's really special.

    It hurts so much when parents cannot love their children unconditionally. Kudos to big brother for standing up for his little brother.

    Coolest brother ever to step in like that and in public. I hope things didn't get bad at home but it doesn't sound like that situation probably has a happy ending.

    I read that just now and warm fuzzy feelings came over me. Such a sweet story ^_^.

    I wish someone could stand up for me like that.
