The Rhodes Bros Come Out to Dad The Los Angeles-based fraternal twins and models Aaron and Austin Rhodes of a popular YouTube channel The Rhodes Bros. Nervous wrecks waiting for their father to pick up the phone, the bros share their thoughts. “Leading up to this, we just hadn’t told him. We knew he was the last person to tell,” said Aaron Rhodes, 19. As both bros tried to explain their news, they lost their words and broke into tears before Aaron finally spit it out: “I’m gay. Austin’s gay, too.” Trying to explain themselves — speaking a mile a minute — their father, Rodney, cut them off. “Would you just stop it? It’s the way things are, you know,” their father said. “You grew up in a different generation that me ... You know I love you both. That’ll never change.” After years of “hiding”, Aaron said it was time to come out. He and his brother wanted to be “as authentic as possible.” “We were out to close friends and our mother. She’s known for like two years,” Aaron said. “We were always afraid of our dad. He’s very masculine. He doesn’t show a lot of emotion.” Their fears, however, were unfounded. The video is targeted at everyone “whether you’re gay or bi or transgender” or even straight, to just be themselves, Aaron said.
