HC's to Philip's parents reacting to him coming out as gay.

ooh I love it!

Coming out to his parents:

Philip is kind of nervous even though he knows his parents will love him no matter what.

He waited until there was a right time for him to come out. 

“I think... I’m more attracted to men then I am to women...”

Eliza gets like, really really happy

Alexander is so proud of his son

Confronting other family members:

Angelica:

Not surprised at all

She kind of knew in some way that Philip was interested in men

She overheard him talking about it to his friends once

“Finally some LGBTQ in this family. Proud of you, hun.”

Peggy:

Jumps for fucking joy

The mother of all that is holy in this situation

“FUCK YES PHILIP I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!”

Walks around proudly and announces that her nephew is gay in public

Philip doesn't mind anymore but it was embarrassing for him at first.

Other siblings:

Angie is like??? really happy???

Philip’s other siblings don't know what being gay means yet, so he teaches them a little bit and it’s fucking adorable.

Facing Homophobia/Negativity:

Philip unfortunately recieves negative comments from his grandparents and uncles because they think that this is a faze he’s going through

For “attention”

Some people at school give him a hard time about it though

Doesn't really care about it because he knows his father with destroy them

Extra:

Participates in Pride and encourages his friends and family to do so

Falls in love at first site

Probably married a friend whose dad works with his

Encourages his friends to help him with rallies and campaigns

What a sweet little boy my gay son is
