A deep, honest family conversation

Raúl González opened a deeply personal chapter on his YouTube channel by interviewing his mother about one of the most defining moments in his life.

The TV host, who publicly shared his sexual orientation in October, wanted to understand how she experienced the moment he chose to tell her the truth.

Their conversation was marked by honesty, raw emotion and reflections meant to support other families going through similar experiences.

Through direct and heartfelt questions, González revisited his mother’s reaction and the fears both of them carried during that time.

“I never imagined it,” Raúl González’s mother admitted

She admitted the news initially caused her pain, but her immediate response was pure love: “You are my son, and I wouldn’t trade you for anything or anyone. I will always support you.”

She also shared that she waited before telling Raúl’s father, wanting to handle the situation carefully.

Fears, guilt and the worry of family rejection

When Raúl González asked if she ever felt fear or shame, his mother revealed that her biggest concern was that some family members might reject him for having a different sexual orientation.

She even acknowledged that, at times, she wondered if she was somehow to blame.

“Sometimes I thought, ‘Was it because I held him so close? I protected him so much—did that cause what Raúl is going through?’” she confessed.

The weight of social judgment

Raúl González used the conversation to address the stigma that still surrounds LGBTQ+ identities.

He pointed out that many people judge queer individuals as if their orientation were a rebellious choice rather than a lived reality.

“There are a lot of people who, in the name of God, condemn you. People who think it’s shamelessness, or something demonic,” he said.

He emphasized that no one would choose something that often brings social pain and prejudice.

Freedom, authenticity and Raúl González’s message for parents

Today, at 53, Raúl González says he feels freer than ever.

“I can say I feel free because I’ve been a consistent, respectful man with values. I don’t need to justify myself or ask anyone for permission to be happy,” he affirmed.

He also shared a message for parents navigating their children’s coming-out journeys, reminding them that love must lead the way.

“The process is not easy, but unconditional love must overcome everything,” he concluded — a heartfelt message aimed at thousands of families, according to El Diario NY.
