“How are you supposed to show love to your brother, father or another straight man?”

That was the question that many were trying to answer when it come to the picture above that went viral with hundreds of thousands of shares on facebook, instagram and twitter.

The photographer shares who and why he took the photo:

“This was a photo that I took for my father last year for Father’s Day. It’s a display of love being passed down through the generations. Our family loves hard and everyone knows it.

We call it, Blue Love.”- Anthony Blue Sr. [pictured with father Aubrey and son Anthony Jr.).
