Am I Gay?

- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- My whole life I’ve been asked if I’m gay. Society puts pressure on us to all look and act a certain way and I hope this helps even one person feel more comfortable in their own skin.

I still cannot fathom how you’re 32 years old.. You literally look like you’re 25.
R Lloyd No, 32 is just his IQ, not his age.
I mean, there is only so much that Oil of Olay can do, darling.
32, and he’s still just as hot ( considering a lot of 30 year old let themself go and prematurely age)-This coming from a 21 year old. Why is this not such a common topic, I rarely see people call him attractive, is it just me?? Lol.
Judity Rezendes you’re not the only one! Not many people acknowledge how handsome Anthony is. He’s a very attractive man 😍 Glad I’m not the only one who thinks that lol
Omg he’s 32....
He looks 20-22
and to think that purple once considered royalty.
Society has twisted in the stereotypes
A lot of kings were gay btw
Well, what else are queens but royalty, lovey?

That’s lesbian!
It’s so interesting and sad to me that girls can show more boyish behaviors and interests and no one thinks anything of it. They are just “Tom boys”….. it’s nothing. But if young boys show any feminine characteristics or interests… it’s ridiculed. I know some people say it’s the patriarchy and that masculine is the more coveted/superior way to be…. But regardless it’s still stifling MEN'S ability to be who they are.
YES
It is both the patriarchy and toxic to men. The patriarchy isn’t good for anyone & it really does just praise toxic masculinity.
You said the last bit almost like your allowing the fact that people say that it’s the more superior way to be. Ik you didn’t mean it like that but yeah. I’ve had that a few times because I watch a ton of anime which is seen as a less masculine thing to do (and I further watch romance anime aswell which is seen as a fully feminine thing to watch) so I hate how people still think that guys cant watch/do/play what they want to
Yeah, its funny how society loves and hates men
Nowadays if you’re a Tomboy…you are a “pick me”.

Wait...how the hell did THAT 7 year old boy knew about gay and straight and all those stuffs. Godd!
acting gay and being gay are two different things
It’s just literally because you’re attractive and well spoken.
Not all gays are well spoken and attractive.

negan well it is actually the general term would be homosexual
He is bringing up a very serious issue though, how people perceive people based on their stereotypical views of what sexuality is...and they judge based on it. It's ridiculous, and I am so glad you are bringing this topic up! I think re-educating people about how they perceive others is important. It could even be a projection of themselves...
yee im suprised there arent any replies to this post cuz its so true
True.... So proud of his choice of topics for making videos....💜💜💜💜💜💜
The thing is majority of gay guys are the stereotype of what a gay guy is. I honestly don't think this gay is a stereotype of a gay guy at all though .
That's right. Anthony is basically a feminine guy
@@airwolfcentral169 @shook lizard I don't think a majority of gay people act a certain way. I think those are the ones you notice because that is what has been portrayed in media, etc., and thus what we "recognize" as gay characteristics. Sure there are gay people that fall into those stereotypes (sometimes because of those same social constructs), but I think you are "missing" the ones who don't.
I'm just imagining a 7 yr old Anthony all excited about his purple tiffin box with a mickey mouse on it.......awww!
THAT IS ADORABLE 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Eww that’s gay bro

Poppy guys liking pink isn't considered gay but anything rainbow is
Poppy Tbh I can I tell when people are gay its obvious by their voice, apperence.

The Orangutan correct
A guy who wants to be clean and cleans his room seems like a dream guy to me….💜💜
Also,a 7 year old using gay as a negative slur is pretty scary.
it ain’t scary that they’re using it, it has been a thing forever and will never really change, kids are stupid cause their brains are underdeveloped. Not trying to justify it in any way, but this is the way it was and will be.
Prince - wore make up and heels and he loved women! He owned that sh*it. Guys might have teased him, but he was Winiiinngggg.
Maya's Channel such and underrated guitarist:(
Maya's Channel he was probably bi sexual.
i'm pretty sure they say he was not a man but nonbinary
Maya's Channel he also wouldn't sing "Your butt is mine" in "I'm bad" with Michael Jackson because he wasn't gay
Prince sure loved women but was also bisexual (allegedly). There were not only rumours but also accounts of people that told about him hooking up with guys. Once he became Jehovah's Witness he tried to change his lifestyle and preach to others about God .
Oh my God he's kind, clean and fashionable so must be gay? That sentiment says much more about the people saying it then it does Anthony.
Nice
this
It's concerning because the people asking don't do that?
@@juliusroman8616 It just means that people are stereotyping on what a men should act like. Some people expect men to be strong, tough, and athletic. So when they're more sensitive or fashionable, people assume they're gay because people think thats how a woman should act, not a man. Thats how toxic masculinity arises, because men are told "dont cry, youre not a girl"
It’s more than that... he gives off a gay vibe, which is totally okay but it’s true lol :)
Who even uses “gay” as an insult nowadays?
Everyone
They use retarded, and in its place to not sound insensitive, they chose the moniker Karen.
Lots of people
"Straight" boys who want to seem macho.
a lot of ignorant people still do and its so stupid and sad

Zerfallen there's this thing called being bi have you ever heard of it 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Zerfallen ok good 😂😂
brendanef9 not done with the vid. This is all clickbait?
it's not clickbait. he asked a question in the title and then he answered it
Zerfallen because he dated chicks doesn't mean he's bi, he never said when he did. He could be gay now, or whatever now
just because someone looks and sounds feminine, does NOT mean they’re gay. even if they ARE gay it has NOTHING to do with you, it’s not your business, it’s not their choice, and neither is it a bad thing to be gay. thank you for coming to my TED TALK.
i mean unless they’re in a relationship with you and haven’t realised they are gay or bisexual yet, it’s kind of your business but have you even realised that it’s so damn offensive to be asking *ANYONE* that in the first place? let them consume their sexuality, let them realise it themselves. give them time to realise that it's okay because the way you’re acting is probably making them feel *ashamed* of themselves and making them feel like it’s *wrong* to be what they *are.* and love themselves, the way they are made.
thanos is purple.
surely he must be gay then

I feel you my man. I have had people think I am gay when I was younger. I love ballet, musicals, cats, figure skating, gymnastics, and Elton John. But I am 100% straight. I do not think that liking these things makes you gay but trust me I understand where you come from. Most people who (in my experience) who give you stick about being gay are gay themselves. But I still plan on watching figure skating at the next Olympics.
I wore a shirt that says I'm gay and for some reason people think I'm gay 🤔

Part of me feels bad for the 7-year-old Anthony. He just wanted to be himself with that purple lunchbox he loved. He ditched the lunchbox ust because a homophobic guy thought purple was gay. Poor kid. He deserves to bring that lunchbox to school with pride. That lunch box isn’t meant to be gay and deserves to go to school with him. #nomorelunchboxcruelty
Purple is fucking awesome. That's my favorite color. Like the Haunter pokemon. Badass dawg.

Fucking hell. This video needs to be seen by every damn adult I've ever known. My entire family (especially extended) has always thought I was gay because I 1. Liked Superheroes more than Princesses and 2. Never talked to *them* about boys or showed off whatever boy I was talking to. It never made sense to me because who the hell wants to talk to their aunt or grandma about how thirsty they are for some guy at school? That's the shit you talk to your friends about. My aunt doesn't even question it, she acts like she "knows" I'm a lesbian and even though I don't care and it's not an insult in the slightest, the way she says it is offensive and gross. To me, the biggest turn on in people is when they don't care about gender stereotypes. It's not that I'm attracted to guys in pink with painted fingernails but it's attractive if they can wear those things and not give a fuck what anyone's gonna think. I'm so tired of people assuming my sexuality just because I don't flaunt it around. Thanks for this video, Anthony. Was great to hear!!
Jazzy But are you a Lesbian???
nope
Jazzy T H A N K Y O U! Preach!
Same as you but I am lesbian, people thinks I am straight but they(family) use gay word as an insult.
Can we just be ourselves? No matter what we like or how we behave, that doesn't define our sexuality
That's so tough, I'm sorry you have to deal with that. I really wish people didn't care. Why is everyone so concerned with who other people love? It doesn't make sense. I hope all the best for you!
I am really glad you addressed this because i feel almost the same way. Everyday I wake up and try to dress a certain way to not be called gay or anything related to it. I also used to stereotype people based off the way they looked or call them gay. It until recently I figured out I like this boy and I’m not going to go out of my way to change my whole personality to seem “gay”. Gay doesn’t determine your lifestyle, it LITERALLY determines who you are attracted to. So in response of realizing I stopped and I may look “gay” to some people, or act “gay”, i stopped caring what anybody thought. I do believe it should come to an end and can live the way I want without being stereotyped to where I don’t wanna be the person I AM anymore.
Be your self fuck them haters I like pink and I'm not gay but there's no problem with being gay

this means so much to me. i’m a girl that has always been less feminine and so many people have called me the f slur, made fun of my style, called me names. even my parents tell me to be “more lady like” just because i sit a certain way. i’ve never had a father figure, nor any older male figure in my house hold. it’s always been my mom and i, and even then.. it was mostly just me due to her mental health. since i was little i’ve always been the outcast, but i liked it because that’s what made me comfortable. even as a 5 year old, i never understood the “that’s a boy/girl color” or “that’s a boy/girl toy”.. where’s that on the label? who’s stopping me? who made that rule? WHO TF CARES!!! FUCK GENDER RULES!!!
It's sad that you spent that long typing a paragraph for people to just scroll down on
and that's why I'm non-binary. FUCK GENDER! people be people. that's it bruh. people need to stop being so judging
Adults always said, "That's not very ladylike" to me when I was little, and I would reply, "I never claimed to be a lady." Even at like 5 years old, I'd get super sassy and confrontational about it. Fuck them. I don't have to be who you want me to be just to make yourself feel more comfortable about your narrow views in this world. The sad part is that it was almost always a woman who said that shit to me. Just like men telling little boys to "man up." To me, it just feels like they need to go get some counseling for the trauma THEY endured that made them feel like they had to live up to those standards, and now everyone else should too.
Male here and I feel like you
tomboyish girl? nice. I find that cute
I’m so glad we have slightly normalized this is the next two years from this video. I’m so glad more people are accepting

This is how I’ve felt a large portion of my life. I’m a girl, but my favourite colour was always red, I liked playing cars with my brother, I liked playing video games, whenever we played “house” I always insisted on not being the sister, but rather the cat or dog (I’m not a furry lmao, not that it would matter if I was) I still liked things that were considered “girl things” too, like dolls, and I’ve always have long, thick hair that I liked to let my mum (who is a hairdresser) style, I even did beauty pageants for short time (I didn’t do glitz pageants like on TLC, and I was never forced to do anything lmao) but people couldn’t see past the part of me that liked less “girly” stuff. People thought I was weird and didn’t want to be my friend, I was bullied for it, and I was made to feel like I wasn’t valid. Literally as soon as people learned the word I was called gay. I was confused at what it meant at first, but as soon as I found out (and found out it’s negative connotations) I was upset. I knew I was straight, that I liked boys, I’ve had crushes multiple boys in my life, but these people constantly calling me names, calling me gay, it made me confused, and it upset me. It literally *gave* me an anxiety problem because I’d drive myself to the point where I felt sick worrying about what people thought of me, the way I looked to them, and eventually other things too.
It wasn’t until 2018 when I started to feel a lot better about all of it. I met my best friend, Jason. We were science partners and we quickly became close friends. As I got to know him more and more, and spent more time around him, I realised: he was a lot like me. He didn’t fit the typical gender stereotypes. He was a guy, and he liked some “typical boy” things like video games and stuff, but he also had some qualities that are considered “typical girl” things, he used to do dance, he was very soft spoken and sympathetic, and he cared a lot about the way he looked (like his hair and his clothes). I noticed people treated him like they did me, they constantly called him/asked is he was gay, even though he (and he told me on multiple occasions) was in fact straight. When I met him I realised that he didn’t let it get to him, he didn’t even care that they thought that about him, and that helped me to be more comfortable in my own skin. I realised that my interests and hobbies do not at all define my gender or my sexuality. And when I found your channel you reinforced that realisation.

It is very annoying that they judge you for what you like, that they tell you that this is what you have to like because that is not a thing for men or women, just be yourself, some things from another man but that is fine ,Just be yourself

Thank you for this Anthony. I’ve been through very similar things in life. Thank you for being an example to be yourself despite what others think. Much love dude.
People are far too concerned with everyone else's sexualities. Unless you're trying to seduce them, a person's sexuality is no one's business.
Stevie f*cking preach actually
Stevie Wait? If your name is Stevie and your profile pic is a girl? I cannot assume your gender. So you must be a alien.
Stevie E X A C T L Y .
Aren't we all trying to seduce him though or...
Smoke I'm not sure why my gender is relevant at all? It seems you've already made your assumptions. I am infact male & my profile picture is infact of me. I do not believe that the way that I look, my personality, my likes, my dislikes etc should be governed by stereotypes. I am male, I was born male, but I will not be limited by this.
I hope this answers your question, mysterious stranger that is far too concerned with my gender.
the lunchbox story made me really sad
Elizabeth N. I can relate to this...I think I did something and I got called gay...I was in elementary school

Killian Off the chain, what?
xKimaii god doesn't exist
Killian Off the chain, I understand you. Just first time seeing a person that doesn't believe in God.
Anthony you are being SOOOOOOOOOO relatable right now, im called gay all the time for no reason just cause of how i talk and the way my voice sounds. Its so stupid how some people just put others down for no reason even after theyve been told a thousand times im not gay.
Titel:Am I Gay?
Ans: No
SupremeYasin thank you because some people don't understand
SupremeYasin he did not say "no" in answer to the question....
I spent my whole life caring what others think. Just a few months ago I told my family and some friends that I'm gay. I just want to be me, just as you said! In fact Smosh was a big part of helping me to see that I am normal and it's okay to be yourself. Just be ourselves and let others be themselves will make the world the bees knees! Thanks and take care!
SirEcasnoopy thats amazing👏😊
SirEcasnoopy True. 12 or 13 year olds call other people gay, grammar-wise, which if they did mention a gay joke. They would be calling themselves gay. This "Gay"joke trend needs to stop.
SirEcasnoopy being gay doesn't label you as Who You Are, it just makes you Human. don't sell yourself so short by saying all you are is Gay. it shouldn't even matter TBH, does it matter that i like the opposite sex ? Absolutely not, so why should it matter if you like the same sex.
TnJcanodezo thank you so much for your words of wisdom!
@@SirEcasnoopy hope your doing well man.
someone I know was called gay as I walked by and I just yelled "I'm gayer" this has been a psa
Mak Terrill you stole that post (but its okay we all do it eventually)
Mak Terrill but I am the gayest
IM SCREECHING
Mak Terrill omg I need that RUclips video... thats hilarious...
Could be gayer. (Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh?)
As a gay man: I know stories like this and it honestly makes me so upset and confused. People view you as gay even when you're not, yet nobody ever assumes I--the actual gay man--am gay because I guess I appear more masculine somehow. People have no idea what actual gay people look like and they just end up assuming anything and everything they don't understand falls under that category, and it sucks.
Bruh I remember when I was 12 years old and people started calling me gay and I started crying because I thought everyone was going to hate me and I was scared, I feel bad for you bring gay doest change anything do what makes you happy. They use gay as an insult because they're miserable people.
You deserve it cuz you gay
Fuck it let's just be ourselves we can't be anything better then ourselves- Anthony Padilla
Jason Rodriguez dead ass I read that as I say that
Jason Rodriguez holy shit I read that while he said it
Jason Rodriguez so did I!

Amalie Ostertag litterly the only thing I was thinking about.
Guys he's NOT gay. He literally said so at 4:10 no one seemed to notice though so like so people can see
thank you
I think when he said that he was just using it as an example of a situation
David Finnigan he repeated many times that he's straight
kirika20 When?
Russo Italiano watch the video
It's sad how people are still being brainwashed by stereotypes and social expectations... and then they go shaming and bullying other people.
This is how I've always assumed many men in our society feel. It's really awesome you pointed out it was true for you that you were essentially coerced into acting more "masculine". I hope more men can start admitting that it has had an effect on them! love
I WOULD BE FRIENDS WITH SEVEN YEAR OLD PURPLE-MICKEY-MOUSE LUNCH-BOX ANTHONY
same. :)
Alex's Eyebrows Right... I would be that kid who don't stay quiet, hey u got a problem w Tony... u got a problem w me...
Alex's Eyebrows s a m e
Alex's Eyebrows same I'd steal that lunchbox
Same
Boi I'd love to date a guy like Anthony. I wouldn't give a fuck if the man I love likes pink or flowers or takes time on his hair. People think I'm a lesbian because I have a side shave and short hair, or maybe it's because I wear black and pants instead of florals and skirts. Bitch if I'm not attracted to you, my sexuality is none if ya damn buisness. Let people be who they are regaurdless of what gender they like. C'mon man humanity should be better than this.
Jojo Bridge exactly. preach!
Jojo Bridge hey i have the same problem with girls thinking im gay cause i dont try to f every girl i see
Why do peapole use "gay" as a bad word. IM gay and peapole saying "gay" as a bad word is just sad
Honestly, and then people get so offended
He's so freakin' cute. I miss his emo hair. Been watching them on Smosh for the longest time. Goddamn Anthony, why so handsome!
+Smellerest I would give him a solid 10 any day 😘

Ashley Dixon ikr
Because of the amounts of "fuck"-s.
Hannah Lopez nobody was talking shit?
Anthony, this is so meaningful, and so well-said. I've only recently gotten into your videos (sorry!), but I'm loving them. And as someone who's just recently started identifying as non-binary, I've been thinking a ton lately about all the things you talk about in this video. Whether we identify as straight or gay, cis or otherwise, I think that the way societal norms of masculinity expect so much of us - pressuring us to not have a purple lunchbox, to not be sensitive or emotional, to not walk a certain way, to not stand or sit a certain way - it's so restrictive, and so exhausting.
Thank you for sharing and talking about this, and for, as always, articulating these things as beautifully as you do.
He has the jawline of a greekgod
Lemons that good or bad
I am from greece
Greekgodx
A jawline you want to break lol
Shut up blud
Anthony, it doesn't matter if you're gay, straight, or bi, we all love you the same! What truly matters is your happiness.
You forgot the etc.
Jaden Love Gilliard Oops! My bad! D'X
+Jaden Love Gilliard What etc? There's literally only 3 possible orientations, which are straight, gay, and bi. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for equality, but what else would there be? Pansexual is basically the same thing as bi, so I don't count that as being real. Dating based on personality and not gender (pansexuality) is basically the same thing as being bisexual. Besides pansexuality, I honestly can't think of any other sexual orientation that falls under "etc".
Asexuals, Polysexuals, etc.
I'm facepalming myself. **Pulls cover over head** I believe that I'm a bit forgetful. I apologize for not including other the sexual orientations in my first comment due to the cobwebs in my noggin.
Quick question. We are in 2017 where gay marriage is legal in the U.S and it isn't shunned. So even if he was gay, why does it matter?
Edit: OK I didn't want to start a civil war in the comments section I simply said who cares if he's gay. You guys down here talking about racism, circumcision, transgenderism, and shit like that, take a fucking chill pill.
Jim Bob Why are commenting this on almost every single comment
R [insert it's the current year argument]
It might legally be ok but it's not publicly ok
Dork Productions hahah here we go again white people and there made up issues about being LGBT bitching that they have worse than inner city blacks classic
hahaha here we go again with some idiot with no grammar or spelling trying to justify bigoted views by saying other issues are more important. google the fucking stats son then pipe your mouth. and by the way I'm Australian and i wasn't starting a fight, just answering a comments question but ok
I remember I was asked at the age of 13 if I was “gay” and of course the way he said it was derogatory and meant to be a insult. But me actually being gay i said “ um yeah I am “ and he was taken a back 😂. While he was trying to come up with a comeback I told him “wow thank you for noticing, now I know what I’m doing is working trying to not attract idiots like you”
The best day of my little middle gay school life
and suddenly everyone clapped
@@tirididjdjwieidiw1138 imma clap your ass idc what people says i just need to clap you so hard man
my (homphobic) mom thought i was a lesbian because i always talk about rainbows and crap..she isnt wrong :)
Angie M lol u go girl
run haha thanks
Your homophobic mother is sick ! throw her out!
Angie M 😂 my parents are like "vdthxhrg lesbian doesn't exist sweetie" and I'm like "wtf uhh what do you call me then mom?"
That's not "Homophobic", that's being conservative.
No, but you love clickbait
Doesnt matter if you are gay or not, I agree 100%, just found funny the title 😁
how tf did he heart this
aDaMzDeD foReVaH honesty
He liked this comment because it's uncomfortably true to him. Thinking of clickbait video ideas is what every successful RUclipsr does.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
i hate sports, dont care about cars, love purple, care about my hair. im not gay
Dude u don’t have hair you’re a donut
mikey elliott just go with it
mikey elliott i dont....have....hair?
Yup you donut have hair
mikey elliott oh
I can relate to this so much. My mom is afraid people think I’m gay. I’m not gay but I used to care what others thought. Now I don’t care at all. I don’t even care what my mom thinks. I tell her deal with it and get over with being embarrassed about me.
