As an LGBT person, this is always heartwarming. There’s always a family member who can’t fully accept it, for me it’s my maternal grandparents. I can’t imagine how people who’s whole family can’t accept them feels. It’s sweet that we can all have another relative accept us through Nonna.
I'm so sorry that you're maternal grandparents didn't support you! I am also part of the LGBTQ community but I realized it after all my grandparents were gone, I wish I could see their reactions. I hope you know that you didn't fail anyone you are who you were meant to be or at least you started to go on the journey of discovery of who you were meant to be. Sending hugs!
I feel this - my mum and dad say they accept me, but they won’t tell any of my other relatives, including my grandparents, or they use my dead name and old pronouns.
I’m so so so happy to see Nonna back!!! I love the bit where she gets us to speak to the lady in the phone! My grandma does EXACTLY the same when I visit....anyone, ANYONE calls she’s like “oooooooo someone is here who would like to talk with you!” And I’m like “I have never spoken to this person in my entire life” - honestly so happy to see you back Ella!! I’ve missed YOOOOOOOO! 🥰
When I came out as a lesbian to my Grandma Beva, she had probably the best response ever. She was really proud of me being true to myself and having the bravery to come out. She asked me all about it. Did I have a girlfriend yet? Did I have a crush on an actress? She seemed really excited to have a gay granddaughter. After lots of love and silly questions, she told me a story about when she was in twenties. She was friends with a few lesbians back in highschool. When they came out to her (this was the late 60s), she was very happy about it and supported them in every way. She also assumed that it was a choice they made. So when she tried to be a lesbian, she quickly learned that it was definitely not a choice. It was something you were born with. TL;DR: My Grandma Beva is really supportive of the LGBTQ+ community and she's very supportive of me being a lesbian. Edit: (2/5/24) Well, my queer journey has progressed quite a bit since this comment was made in 2020. I recently came out as Genderfluid in November of 2020, mainly as a realization and coming out to myself. But then I came out to my parents and later my grandparents. In 2021, I came out to my Grandma Beva about my gender identity. She was not exactly sure what that meant, but she was happy to learn about it. She knows now that I go by she/he/they, that I have masculine and feminine phases, and that I'm perfectly fine with my name as it is. She still loves me so much! Last December, in 2023, I started dating my boyfriend (who is a transgender man) and we've been happy together. Before I even told my parents, I told my grandma Beva. She made a very good point about my s-xuality: Perhaps I may be more bisexual than strictly gay if I have an interest in transgender men. We had a very nice conversation about identity, and she was very supportive of my boyfriend. Things have changed, but I always come back to this video. It's comforting, because it reminds me of Grandma Beva.
As a lesbian who recently came out to her father! Who was accepting I was very lucky and thankful he is accepting of my lifestyle I enjoyed this! Thank u for ur relaxation 🥺🖤🏳️🌈
*my grandma has been in a home after a stroke for the last 10 months, and i finally came out to my family in July so she doesn’t know, so this means more to me than you could imagine* 🥺
@@Achillunes Dont be sorry! Internalized homophobia is when an LGBT person is taught that being gay is “wrong” and therefore starts to resent themself for being gay. For example: I grew up in a very religious household, and it was explained to me from a very young age that being gay is bad and wrong. When I got a little older, I started to realize that I liked girls, and that terrified me because I was taught that gay people were bad. The people in my life who were telling me this were people I loved and trusted, so why wouldn’t I believe them? I spent years trying to “teach myself to be straight” or ignore my feelings but in the end I realized that I’m gay whether or not I choose to tell people about it. I started accepting myself and using the Bible the way it’s meant to be used, as a message of love and acceptance for myself and everyone. I came out and ever since then I’ve been doing much better, but some days I still feel like I’ve let down my family or otherwise messed up because I’m gay. That feeling is my internalized homophobia. I hope this helps!
hey, just wanna let you know, you’re loved, valid, and being who you are is great, if you’re still figuring it all out, thats still valid! love you all!
The amount of people saying their family will never accept them breaks my heart😢. I love all of you, you are beautiful and wonderfully made. Huge hugs to everyone. Happy holidays 🥰
This is sooooo sweet! My family is very conservative, and has always had reservations about homosexuality. Then my sister came out as a lesbian. It was hard for my parents to accept and they blatantly told her they were not for it, but that they still loved her and were family. It was very hard for my sister at the time, but also freeing because she felt she could be herself. So she started coming out to everyone, and so she came out to our Grandma, and my Gandma’s reaction was “oh really?! Do you have a... friend?” 😂😂😂 But she was delighted and super super supportive. One of the most supportive out of everyone! Honestly, I love my family, because even if we disagree about things, in the end we are family and we DON’T let it tear us apart
As a gal who realized she liked her friend in October--becuase 2020 wouldn't be complete without a sexuality crisis--and is soooooo not coming out to her family anytime soon, this was nice. Thanks Nonna 🌈. Edit: Pan Flag: Exist Nonna: "What-a country this from?" Awwww
From the beginning where nonna talks on the phone, to the end SHE IS AN ITALIAN NONNA!! Even when she was trying to know what Giuseppina was saying on the phone, that’s typical Italian😂😂 HAI FATTO UN LAVORO STUPENDO!! GRAZIE NONNA❤️
My nonna paterna (granma from my father side) passed away a month ago... she wasn’t a saint but she definitely cared about us and always gave us all her love. Thank you for this video, Buon Natale a tutti!❤️🇮🇹
I feel so bad for you. I hope you're still going to be okay and that you'll never try to become someone else than you really are, just because others don't accept that. God bless ya 💗
my family is greek and the accents are very similar. “nona” speaks MUCH better english than my yiayia but this is how i imagine it would go if i or one of my sisters came out to her :) (just with much more greek 😉)
Nonna's characteristics remind me of my own grandmother, who sadly had passed away before I had the courage to come out to her. This felt like a memory that never happened, it was so wholesome thank you ♥️
I'm a lesbian and I am terrified to come out to my extended family, particularly my grandmother, because I am already estranged from my father's side and don't want that with my mother's side too. Thank you for this video.
I've watched this almost every night since you posted it. I'm planning on publically coming out this pride month, and this makes me feel so comforted and supported
I'm so sorry for your loss... I lost my grandparents couple of years ago, never met my grandpas but my grandmas were with me until I was 17 and 18. Sending hugs! I'm sure there are watching over you and they're proud of you.
I lost my Nonna at a young age before I could come out to her, and my mother tells me she would have accepted me no matter what and goodness you act and sound so much like her! This feels like I’m getting to have that moment that I never did and that’s so comforting after a stressful year. Apologizes for such a late comment but I had to thank you for giving a stranger like me a little closure they’ve always wanted
I am so glad you continued nonna videos :’) i’ve been overstudying for the finals and have very small amount of human interaction due to negligence of my friends and toxicity of my family (and ofc the quarantine) nowadays. This makes me feel very loved :)
my very christian grandmother is faaar away from reacting like this ! but this was so so comforting, a hug to my soul. especially the part where u rubbed our hands that felt so real, you're a gift from heaven i love u so much ✨✨💗
🥰🥰🥰This made me cry my face off. Unconditional love is something so many people never experience. Thank you for making this video for all people everywhere. My heart is full. 🥰🥰🥰
I love how Nona is so accepting and awesome but you still worked in that there's stuff Nona doesn't know. Like how tour nicknames or pronouns won't change because you're not straight or about the flags or the names of different identities but she wants to learn stuff. Her talking about wondering what country the pride flags were from made me smile because I can hear my grandma (she's 86) asking the same thing with her southern accent in place of Nona's Italian one lol. I stan loving, protective, eager to learn grandparents.
Recently, in the past week, my Nana had died and I couldn't go to her funeral. I was planning on coming out to her on Christmas this year because that would've been the next time I saw her. She used to speak exactly like this and I just found this really comforting.❤️❤️❤️
God bless Nonna! One of my favorite characters that you have come up with and the message of acceptance by family is sorely needed. Thank you for such a heartwarming video Ella! Happy holidays!
Nonna mentioned the asexual flag! I teared up a little at that. My family mostly accepts that I'm ace, but there's both an undercurrent of "That's not a thing" and "That's not actually queer". Thank you, Nonna
this is amazing and actually made me tear up a bit. I'm italian and you act just like my grandma before Alzheimer's, she really used to call me "pupin" or "pulcin", but then with her diseases things got worse. I came out to her too late and she told me that she wanted to kick me out of her home (the next day she forgot that conversation but y'know- it still hurts). I like to think that without her sickness she would have reacted just like Nonna and I'm so so happy to watch this video, it's wholesome✨ Now I have a Nonna supporting me, thank you💖
I'm open to all types of love, relationships, etc. I don't consider myself as straight or gay, but this role play felt so real for me. I cried and felt so much better after Nonna just accepted me. The whole idea of being accepted by your loved ones, no matter what... I needed this and I didn't know I did. Thank you bella, I love you and your content, always so creative and full of love and passion.
i come back to this video all the time- the lighting is so comforting, it reminds me of laying down on the couch next to the still lit christmas tree after christmas has come to a close and the remains of open presents are littering the floor and everyone is off sleeping or quietly enjoying dinner leftovers. just so nice
I'm a gay girl and nobody in my family accepts me. This video helped me much. I watch it everyday. It gives me hope and a feeling of safety and being loved. Thank you.
I've grown up without any grandparents at all, and my only aunts and uncle live states away and I rarely ever get to see them. When I was very little, I would read kids books about going to stay with grandparents and having fun with them and talking to them and baking with them. It always confused me and made me sad because all of my friends would have similar stories to share about their weekends or their summer, and I would cry often and feel upset and lonely because I didn't have a pure, genuinely loving figure in my life like everyone else. The Nonna series really means a lot to me and makes me feel like I understand the love all of my friends get to feel. Thank you so much for this series
i love this entirely. but the fact that nonna is so giddy and proud that i confided in her before anyone else-even before my own mother. 😭🤣🤗🤗 thank you so much.
like so many other people, my family hasn’t been the most accepting of not only my queerness, but that of by siblings/cousins and this is just so comforting and I absolutely love it so much thank you!!!
legit screamed when i saw nonna in the thumbnail and then i read the title and screamed even LOUDER my queer little heart can't take it, thank you nonna! i didn't get to come out to my grandma so this is very special to me
The number of people who are not accepted by their own families in this comments section really breaks my heart. Sending love and support to all of you 💗
As someone who is only out to half of their family and is still trying to come out to the other half, this is the validation I need, even from a fictional nonna, I feel this inner warmth and contentment from coming out to Nonna. Thank you❤❤❤
i don't have a grandma or an accepting family, but you gave me a taste of both this season. thank you, you have no idea how much this means. a grandma who is accepting AND wants to learn about the lgbt+ community 😭😭😭😭 thank you
*ALL TUCKED IN AND READY TO WATCH OUR AMAZING WHITE RABBIT ASMR! GOOD NIGHT FROM ITALY AND PHILIPPINES!* 🧡 *I WISH MY ASMR VIDEOS WERE THIS SO RELAXING.*
It's incredible how in the asmr community in general, with all those roleplays we get to have some family figures that are accepting and get a glimpse of how that experience would be like. All my grandma says is god will rain fire and burn us, so I was very excited for a video with an accepting grandma. Filled a little void in me. Adorable!
This is such a comfort. I didn’t get a chance to come out to my granny before she passed away… I know she would have accepted me, but I was certain I would see her again. If you know someone would love you and accept you, never be afraid to come out to them. You never know until it’s too late. Thank you White Rabbit for being such a lovely substitute to my granny. I wish I could have had this chance myself.
That section with Nonna talking over her friend while we were on the phone was perfect and very true to life haha
lmaoo ikr. my brain can never handle it when that happens
Hahaha grandmas really do be like that. "What's she saying? What's she saying :D" while you're on the phone haha
"Nonna, she love you no matter what, you little stupid."
I literally died. 😂
Sameeee
Are you alive now?
@@Bofadian Nobody knows. 😬
nonna really said "what do you think I'm a homophobe? you dumbass"
This was so heartfelt! I never knew I could love Nonna more than I already did!
Shut up meg 😜

Honestly the next Nonna video could be ‘Nonna sits with you and watches paint dry’ and I’d still love it!
Okay but a "painting with nonna" video 😭😭😭
Regretti Spaghetti YESSSS
Yeah she'll tell you a story about painting in Italia
Nona: casually talking
Tree: *seizures*
I’m wheezing at this 😂😂
The true italian nonna experience: speaking to you while you’re on the phone telling you what to say and asking you what they’re saying 😂😂
I saw the notification and said “NONNA” in the middle of Chanukah dinner
haha, happy Chanukah!
A Chanukah miracle
I’m very comfortable with the energy we have created in the studio today ❤️

All of your characters make me feel loved and wanted - like I have known them all my life! It’s a truly special feeling! Thank you!
You talking and the other voice coming from the phone was soooooo tingly 💛 Not only that but the entire thing was just so sweet and wonderful.
NONNA IVE MISSED YOU SO MUUUCHH!! ❤️❤️❤️
Nonna came to save the year!!💖
ella!!! i will never understand how you are so underrated it literally makes me upset. you are so appreciated keep doing what you’re doing :)
Buon Natale to everyone here and especially you Mrs Rabbit!
i come back to this video all the time- the lighting is so comforting, it reminds me of laying down on the couch next to the still lit christmas tree after christmas has come to a close and the remains of open presents are littering the floor and everyone is off sleeping or quietly enjoying dinner leftovers. just so nice
This is exactly what we need collectively right now: NONNA! 😊 Thank you so much. Nonna is my favorite character that you play. ❤️
I'm a gay girl and nobody in my family accepts me. This video helped me much. I watch it everyday. It gives me hope and a feeling of safety and being loved. Thank you.
I’m beaming. My face hurts from smiling so hard, I wish I had a nonna like you.
(Backs up 6ft from nonna but she keeps coming forward)
I've grown up without any grandparents at all, and my only aunts and uncle live states away and I rarely ever get to see them. When I was very little, I would read kids books about going to stay with grandparents and having fun with them and talking to them and baking with them. It always confused me and made me sad because all of my friends would have similar stories to share about their weekends or their summer, and I would cry often and feel upset and lonely because I didn't have a pure, genuinely loving figure in my life like everyone else. The Nonna series really means a lot to me and makes me feel like I understand the love all of my friends get to feel. Thank you so much for this series
i love this entirely. but the fact that nonna is so giddy and proud that i confided in her before anyone else-even before my own mother. 😭🤣🤗🤗 thank you so much.
like so many other people, my family hasn’t been the most accepting of not only my queerness, but that of by siblings/cousins and this is just so comforting and I absolutely love it so much thank you!!!
legit screamed when i saw nonna in the thumbnail and then i read the title and screamed even LOUDER my queer little heart can't take it, thank you nonna! i didn't get to come out to my grandma so this is very special to me
Be honest, raise your hand if you cried... ✋😭💕
✋🥺
Me a lesbian whose grandmother will never accept her
😢😢😢
I accept you. You deserve nothing but love and goodness in your life x x x x x x
Aw my lovely u deserve the world. I accept u exactly the way u r xx
I’m sorry I accept you !
I'm straight but I accept you, i have a lot of lgbtq friends, you deserve nothing but acceptance and respect
That's why you have us!
my grandma is very very homophobic. this video means a lot to me. thank you ella. 🥺
The number of people who are not accepted by their own families in this comments section really breaks my heart. Sending love and support to all of you 💗
As someone who is only out to half of their family and is still trying to come out to the other half, this is the validation I need, even from a fictional nonna, I feel this inner warmth and contentment from coming out to Nonna. Thank you❤❤❤
I've missed Nonna so muuuch!! 😌❤️ I love these videos so much! Such a cute idea for a video and so comforting! 💕
So this is what's it's like to be close with a grandparent huh
Yah oof
i don't have a grandma or an accepting family, but you gave me a taste of both this season. thank you, you have no idea how much this means. a grandma who is accepting AND wants to learn about the lgbt+ community 😭😭😭😭 thank you
*ALL TUCKED IN AND READY TO WATCH OUR AMAZING WHITE RABBIT ASMR! GOOD NIGHT FROM ITALY AND PHILIPPINES!* 🧡
*I WISH MY ASMR VIDEOS WERE THIS SO RELAXING.*
It's incredible how in the asmr community in general, with all those roleplays we get to have some family figures that are accepting and get a glimpse of how that experience would be like. All my grandma says is god will rain fire and burn us, so I was very excited for a video with an accepting grandma. Filled a little void in me. Adorable!
It cold out, but so nice to warm up with Nonna!!
as a half native american/white man, I’ve never aligned with having an italian extension of family but I feel REAL love from this, thank you 🥵♥️🥰
This is such a comfort. I didn’t get a chance to come out to my granny before she passed away…
I know she would have accepted me, but I was certain I would see her again. If you know someone would love you and accept you, never be afraid to come out to them. You never know until it’s too late.
Thank you White Rabbit for being such a lovely substitute to my granny. I wish I could have had this chance myself.
