This Emotional Ad Proves Just How Important Support Can Be For Members of the LGBTQ+ Community

Coming out to your family if you're part of the LGBTQ+ community can be particularly hard, especially for individuals who aren't necessarily sure if they'll have their parents' or siblings' support. In a recent ad created by Verizon and PFLAG titled "Love Calls Back," we learn just how much having a support system means to those who are simply trying to be who they are. The ad — which interviews members of the LGBTQ+ community and their parents and/or siblings — proves that the simple act of picking up the phone and telling someone you love them can go a long way. Despite regretting their initial actions, these family members did the right thing by reaching out to their loved ones now, proving it's never too late. Watch till the end and try not to bawl your eyes out.
