Neil Patrick Harris Tweets Gay Teen to Stand Tall

A fan of Neil Patrick Harris who follows the actor on Twitter asked if he has any advice for "someone coming out as gay."

The teen tells the actor: "my family wouldnt understand and im a musician in australia, so theyve been pretty proud of me so far. I'm nearly 18, i know im young i dont know who to go to everyone i seem to know is either fake or full of shit and i admire you so much that i thought i'd ask you."

Harris responded: "Stand tall. Be proud of who you are. Don't break promises. Want to learn. Represent well. But more than anything, be safe."

Blast Magazine first reported on the tweets.
