    It's interesting, and important to both of your stories, that you mentioned that you had the confidence to accept yourself/yourselves. Both of you seem to have a lot of self-confidence and I think a lot of that has to do with your families' love and acceptance of your sexuality. It may be an abstract idea for a future video but I think you could do a service to your LGBTQ fans who haven't had such an accepting environment in which to come out if you thought about what makes/made you self-confident as individuals and talk about what you did in your formative years to give you confidence in yourselves. For example, PK, you seem to have arrived in LA and found a pretty good job in a relatively short period of time. I work in a library which helps people find jobs. Many of these people take a very long time to find one or simply don't succeed. What was your job search strategy? How did your self-confidence contribute to this? Anyway, thank you for sharing both of your stories.

    its so obvious that Mike is way more comfortable now that he's been dating PK that for those who have been watching their videos since the beginning you could tell that Mike didn't like or didn't want to or i didn't feel comfortable doing PKs outtro the okaaaay tap their head thingy at the end of every video. And look at em now?! so props to you my friend.

    PK, true love is letting your partner have 'The Mike Show' ! I have 3 cousins that are gay and my best friend is gay. When my sons were 5& 6, they asked me about about my best friend and why he kissed his friend a lot. I said that love is love, it's wonderful, some mum's love dads, some mum's love mums and some dad's love dads. I HAVE NOT WANTED MY CHILDREN TO WORRY, FOR ONE SECOND OF THEIR LIVES, THAT I WOULDN'T EXCEPT THEM IF THEY WERE GAY! So every story about love in my house has been, 'When you meet the woman or man of your dreams" or "I hope the first woman or man you bring home won't see your bedroom, cause it's disgusting, clean it up!"

    Speaking as a gay man of a certain age, I am here to tell you that these 2 are going to make it for the long haul. I see a lot of deep and real love and strong mutual respect. Also, their personalities compliment one another wonderfully. There will be no strong competition in this relationship (which can be a BIG issue with gay male couples); they fit together like pieces of a puzzle. 2 Mikes could be a problem. 2 PKs probably wouldn't last. But you put one of each together, and you have a formula that absolutely works. They are BOTH very, very lucky to have found one another. Every happiness, guys!

    I feel like accepting that you are the way you are is the biggest thing to know before you actually come out. Like for me, I knew I was gay pretty early in my life but I never really fully accepted it until about last year and that's when my confidence just skyrocketed and I really realized that I was born like this and it's just a part of me. Then I finally came out in January because I was so ready and I was just ready to be myself completely and not have to hide anything anymore. Thanks for sharing your stories guys, it'll help a lot of people. Love ya

    @davidwm 9 лет назад +2

    Good for you, Mike! Accepting yourself, and being happy being you is an incredible awareness to have. Many men are stuck in that trap of being terrified about anyone finding out they're gay. It's not until you accept yourself, and are not afraid of yourself, that you become truly free to be you! It's a wonderful thing to be in love, and openly able to share that love you have for your partner, and with the people around you that you love and that mean the most to you. I'm very happy for you and PK!!

  • @boinerz
    @boinerz 9 лет назад +14

    It was evident to me from the first few videos I saw you in, Mike, that you were a strong, practical, down-to-earth, self-possessed person. I think it's those qualities that draw so many people to you and to PK on this medium. You honor us by allowing us to see some of the struggle you went through, the burden you carried for so long by yourself. I think this, just as with PK's coming out video, will be of immense value to those living in fear of being who they are, those writhing in the turmoil of that fear. I suspected, too, from the few times I've seen her in videos here, that your mother would react in the manner she did to your revelation, the way all parents should react to their gay children coming to terms with their sexuality. And, lastly, I guessed, not only from what you said here, but also from comments you made on your twitter account, just how much your dad meant to you. If I may be so bold, I think he would have been very, very proud of the man you have become. #LOVEWINS #mylovetoyouboth #butyoualreadyknow

    This is one of the most beautiful coming out stories on RUclips. Mike, you know most of the gay people and many of the str8 people in in the world love you. PJ, we love you, too. Sort of strange that only a few people in the world have to opportunities you do to be yourselves, and infuence so many others. Love you both, and of course, you deserve each other; you're so happy, and everyone should be as happy as you both are.

  • @jock1645

    "Any choice I make now isn't going to be a mistake it's going to be a learning experience" that's awesome. I may have to steal that and put it in my next script. Great job on the video Mike. Watching this I realized we have a lot in common. When I told my Mom and my Aunt it was a very similar response, except they were watching Gun Smoke. Funny thing is I was interrupting an old show with what they thought was old news. Anyway, I'll say it again, great job and I'm sure this will be inspirational to many people that just need to know things will be okay.

  • @julianstribling638
    @julianstribling638 3 года назад

    This is one of the most relatable stories about not wanting to come out that I’ve connected with. That heart wrenching gut feeling about the lie that I told myself for so long that prevented me from being really happy. I am so glad to have role models like you guys who strive for happiness for yourselves and each other, and I can’t wait to have something similar.

  • @kc55mo

    Thanks for telling your story. I love that you loved yourself enough to give yourself a break in order to be who you really are. To present that kind of story will be of so much help to anyone else who had to break through that wall in order to be their authentic self. I remember the video where PK tells us that you became official on Facebook because you took that leap.

  • @ZackFacts
    @ZackFacts 9 лет назад +22

    Mike, I have probably watched thousands of coming out videos on here, and made some of my own, but I think yours resonates with me more than any other. That feeling of knowing and hiding and pushing yourself to be who you think the world wants you to be. Playing football just because it's "masculine" and being terrified of having that "gay label" attached to you in any way. Expecting something to change and that one day you would be able to trick yourself enough into believing that you're straight that you just would be and you'd get married and you'd be "normal" and finally be happy. Whatever that is. And that void.. the emptiness. Been there so hard. I moved away to college this past year and was fully out for the first time in my life but the idea of being completely open on Facebook, to have people from my old life find this "secret" out about me..it's still terrifying. And I don't even know why. I still feel like, if people ask I'll tell them, because I'm done with lying, but I don't feel comfortable truly being open. I don't want to be scared. I don't have any reason to be, but I am. I guess when you do everything in your power to hide something for so long, the impulse to keep it hidden is still so strong that it's hard to get over by yourself. But seeing your video and hearing you talk about it makes me realize that one day it's going to seem so unimportant what other people think of me and that I will get there one day. Thank you, you guys are both so awesome and inspirational just by being yourselves and sharing it with the world! It's so important, and it's videos like this that help people see that they can be themselves, no matter what that means. I hope you guys know how much a difference you're making. Keep on keeping on!

    I hope I can muster the strength to be as genuine as you guys have been on your channel. My story is slow and ongoing with a lot of valleys and tough decisions but stories like your own make me optimistic that there will be brighter days for me. Maybe one day I can share my story with the world as you have done. Although a very dark one, I still believe there is a rainbow for me to follow (Yep, quoting MC lyrics, lol).
    And although your father isn't here in person Mike, remember he gave you something no one can take away from you, an accepting and loving father. So anytime you feel free to wear your heart on your sleeve, remember it was his firm foundation that helped set you on the path to be free from even your own self hatred. I often wish I had the same in my life.
    And PK, I totally understand where you are coming from because I recently buried my grandfather, likely the strongest father figure in my life. Even though my dad was always there, he was the one that taught me the important things in life, like how to ride a bike; how to haggle for watermelon from a street vendor; how to hook a trout in the everglades and clean a fish; the importance of fudge shell toppings on icecream; the excitement of wrestling and western themed movies; and how to work hard in the hottest, wettest and coldest environment for the people who depend on you day to day. He died of alzheimer which onset 10 years ago when I finally realized that I needed to accept that I am who I am. He never remembered much but he always knew my face, even until the day he died. When I gave the eulogy at his funeral, it broke my heart that he would never see me display the courage he instilled, but nonetheless, the memories we do have together make me grateful for every moment.
    Maybe I'll send a letter to you detailing my story. You would be the first one's to hear the whole thing in its entirety, if that's ok. Thanks for all the memories, we are grateful.

    Mike, I know the feeling of not being able to cry anymore. My grandpa died a year ago, I was really close to him. I lost the one that I could talk to. I know that feeling it's hard, I'm in the process of telling people that I'm a lesbian. I just can't get the right words out, this video helped me to tell my mom. They might not be so excepting of me but that is the last of my problems.

    I cant totally relate, i also tried to force myself with the idea of marrying a woman and having dog and pushed my limits. It only made it worst, but i got tired and grew stronger. However, there are still people I havent told, im just as mike that'd i wait until people ask me whether im gay or not otherwise i wont tell. I hope i can find someone like you guys, someone that can give me love and good memories as well as making me feel like the luckiest guy on earth. I love you guys, you have no idea!

    OMG, i cant believe what i said just now before i arrived home to a girl i know and we're not related nor close friend. She was like "ur so sweet, she's(refering to my 'girl' friend) so lucky if you will be his boyfriend. And i was like "nope..., im gay". For the 1st tym, im being honest to myself and not denying it but I think that was a suicide. Im freaking crying right know because im really nervous of what will happen tomorrow. I dont know what to do or think right now. :( :( :(
    p.s: sorry guys, i just need someone to talk to,and i dont have anybody to tell this....

  • @adynnstedillie2752
    @adynnstedillie2752 8 лет назад +6

    I can relate so much about not wanting to have the gay label pinned on me, like Mike said. That's one of the reasons (of many) I'm not out, because o don't want to be know as the gay family member or the gay best friend of the gay daughter or any of those. I don't want to be the person everyone in my family is akward around or my friends don't want to have sleepovers anymore or do anything with me, or will say something about school changing rooms or anything. And the stereotypes, I'm veeeery girly and don't want the butch lesbian stereotype or whatever in me, because I'm not that person. Basically I want to be know as Adynn, not Gay Adynn

    I definitely recognize this whole charade and trying to do as many traditionally masculine things to make sure no one ever thought I was gay. At the same time, these things also became a way for me to avoid confirming that I was gay. I knew I was, but I didn't want to make sure, kind of. It didn't help that the vast majority of people you see that are gay - in real life or in movies - happen to be more stereotypical. And of course, the gay characters from all those movies keep fueling that notion. I had never seen someone I could relate to, and that was a big issue for me. I don't have the most supportive family as far as sexuality goes, so coming out meant putting a lot of stress on them as well.
    I'm happy that you were able to grow up in such a warm environment, and despite the hardships you met early on, you seem to have figured things out :) Y'all are adorable together. Thanks for contributing to the gay community by showing everyone what love means, and that gender doesn't matter :)

    I don't think any one part of our identity should define us whether that is being Southern or being from a big family or being gay or being left-handed or having red hair. But we also shouldn't shy away from the things that make us special or unique or different from the norm.
    Our being gay or lesbian is about love and sex and desire and romantic relationships and that is a big part of our heart and soul, it's what sustains us and gives us strength to deal with the obstacles in our lives.
    If we shy away form those pieces of us that make us who we are because we are afraid of being judged or prejudged or ostracized or discriminated against, we make ourselves smaller.
    The reality is that being gay or lesbian in this current world in would we live DOES make us special, we are a minority and that means that some things will be harder for us than our straight counterparts and it's really good to acknowledge this, know that it's true then move on with our lives and overcome and try to have some joy and contribute to our community as we go along.
    The community of gays and lesbians is what gives us strength in the face of adversity, it's what allows us to have safety in numbers, to make social change, to be activists on behalf of our own equal treatment under the law.
    While it is true that being a lesbian is not the only interesting thing about me, I know that every time I say, out loud "I am a lesbian and I am proud." it gives me strength and it strengthens those around me who may not be able to be out because they are not safe or don't have support.
    Gays and Lesbians have and continue to fight, advocate, give our lives, devote our time, energy, resources to ensuring that the future gays and lesbians don't have to fight as hard to just be who they are, be treated with respect and have equal rights under the law in all the states of the US.
    Being gay or lesbian may not define a person but growing up gay or lesbian in a world dominated by straight people who presume anything about love, family, relationships or sex is about heterosexual and compulsory heterosexuality in media, art, literature HAS defined us and it's ok to acknowledge that and the ways we've overcome.

  • @IsaacDavis69
    @IsaacDavis69 9 лет назад +5

    I'm really glad you shared your story with us Mike. I think it's still important for certain people around the globe to see that not all gay men fit into a certain stereotype if nothing else but to break down the otherness that many people experience when interacting with member of the LGBT community. It's very easy to see someone as less than when you can confine them into a box and you certainly don't fit inside that box. There's nothing wrong with being feminine, I'm pretty feminine myself, but breaking societal molds is something that we all benefit from as a community. I appreciate your courage and I hope you and PK keep making such fantastic content.

I love watching your journey & makes my day 😃😃😃

    This is so awesome. I wish my life were able to play out with such a positive ending. I'm a pastors son. Being raised with that extra pressure where everything had to be seen as above perfect from the outside and knowing I will never be accepted as gay from my parents is a heavy blow. My dad died in my first semester of college in a car accadent. I am the oldest of three boys an I had to grow up fast. My emotions were and probably still are pretty screwed up. I am out to everyone except the "church" world. My brothers know and are cool with it but mom will never accept it. I am now dating another pastors son that is even more stuck in the stigma and control of family and church I'm scared I will loose the best thing to happen to me. I love watching yalls videos and escaping into a happier reality. Thank you.

    • @JamesCourse66
      @JamesCourse66 9 лет назад

      If the church group is weighing you down with negativity, it may be important to distance yourself from those particular people. Also it can be difficult for two people going through similar struggles to maintain a healthy relationship but it can be done. Just remember your love can't be tarnished by other people's opinions. Your love is for you two alone. Maybe both of you will have to distance yourselves. Needing breathing room to become more confident is not a bad thing. I wish you the best.

I did this...felt like the right time...WRONG...She lost control for a few seconds....SCARY, but lucky she got the car back on the road. Was a bit bumpy in the beginning after coming out, but after a couple of year we are close again and I am about to marry my boyfriend of 12 years :-) Well in October only. Can't wait!

    Wow, these two are such inspirations. They do the People proud. It's so crucial we spread positivity in this world and RUclips is a far-reaching outlet. There are many people stuck in their own emotional quagmires. I live in Canada where homophobia is extremely uncommon [offering some of the highest LGBT equality] but of course I have sympathy for anyone going through their own struggles coming out. PK and Mike have made a beautiful channel that lifts the spirits of many people, gay and straight. I hope beyond hope that some day I will be in a relationship like theirs- and I may even make a RUclips channel, lol. Thank you two so so much.
    Enough fangirling!!

    Chaps, just wanted to share with you something that an insightful Gay 11 year old asked me today............
    When do you think it won't matter? What wont matter I replied. When will it not matter who you love? I had to say I don't know - but I hoped with all the changes going on with the US granting Equality for Marriage etc. that it might be in the next 10 years.... maybe with a bit of luck..... He looked at me with huge scared eyes and said he hoped it would be sooner - because a lot of people could be hurt, hurt themselves and bullied in 10 years. What a shameful world we live in....... Guys keep up the amazing stuff you are doing - you make my job and my life better and my kids are inspired by you as am I. Much love xx
