The internet has responded with an outpouring of love for a grandmother and her bisexual granddaughter in the Netherlands.
Suna Huls posted a photo to Tumblr of her grandma proudly holding a rainbow jumper she had knitted—her way of showing support after Huls came out to her.
Under the username , Huls uploaded the photo with a caption saying: “I told my grandma I was bisexual a few weeks ago and today she gave me this, my grandma made me a rainbow sweater.”
The photo was then posted to Twitter where it has since received hundreds and thousands of likes and re-tweets.

“I was kind of overwhelmed. I had no idea it was going get so much attention. I was also happy, because I got to show the world how amazing my grandma is.”
Huls says that after losing her mother in August last year, she and her grandmother have been through a difficult time.
“I called her on Friday and told her she is Internet famous. It made me so happy to hear her laugh. I haven’t heard her laugh like that in a while.”
Called my grandma today, to tell her she is internet famous. You guys have no idea how happy she is! Thank you!

Twitter users have hailed the Dutch grandmother as a role model with many pledging to be like her when they’re older.
The post even caught the eye of singer Troye Sivan who wrote on the site, “I’m the grandma”.
