See what happens when this 13-year-old boy comes out to his friend via text

A text conversation between a teenage boy and his friend has gone viral online.

Twitter user @paleveil shared screenshots of a conversation between her 13-year-old brother and his friend online this week, which show her sibling nervous about how his friend will react to the news that he’s gay.

Thankfully, his friend took the news positively and told him: “As a bro, I’m going to stick by you. Ain’t nothing wrong with being gay my friend.”

Check out the full adorable exchange below:

After the conversation went viral, some suggested that it was wrong to make the conversation public and invade the 13-year-old’s privacy. However, the boy’s sister has since taken to Twitter to explain that she had published the messages online with her brother’s blessing.
