When gay son comes out in the middle of a Seahawks game, Mom says it has to wait for a commercial.
When a 17-year-old Robbie Macaraeg had his heart broken by another boy, he came out in a sobbing mess to his mom. The only problem was that the Seattle Seahawks were on, so it had to wait for a commercial. Macaraeg said she had no idea that her son was gay, which makes it even more cool that his mom was so nonplussed by the revelation.
Macaraeg tells I'm From Driftwood:
I walked in, my mom is in her uniform, her jersey, her Seahawks jersey, screaming at the TV, "Go Hawks, no, no!" And I walk in just crying and she just stops everything, literally goes into mama bear mode, "What happened? Are you okay? What's going on?" Hugs me, hugs me, hugs me.
I'm like, "Mom, I'm gay."
She's like, "Oh, honey, honey, that's fine, but can we just wait till commercial?
Mom also has a great reaction when her son tells her that his heart has been broken. Watch the entire video interview with Macaraeg here.
