Grandfather And Grandson Struggle With Coming Out : NPR

Wow. This brought tears to my eyes. Click here to listen to the story.

Grandfather And Grandson Struggle With Coming Out : NPR:

Ironically, Jeffrey was afraid to come out to his openly gay grandfather. He said he feared what he would think — he didn't want his grandfather to be afraid for him.

Ultimately, Jeffrey did come out to his grandfather, although Tony was one of the last people to know. Jeffrey said he now looks up to Tony, and that his grandfather paved the way for him.

'I'm so lucky to have you in my life,' Tony says. 'You are my role model.'
