im 16 and i related to everything you've mentioned lol 😂 Queer people on internet are the only family for those kids who are closeted. Keep uploading more vids. YOU're hilarious! NEW subscriber HERE!
I honestly cannot express how amazing this is. I'm just. This is AMAZING! I spent so many years thinking that nobody like me existed anywhere in the country, and seeing this video is like looking in a mirror. (Also. the desi pixie cut. it's not even funny how relatable that is. eXpOsInG all the desi masc lesbians i see, kudos to you.) I can't imagine how much bravery it took to make this video, but I'm so glad you did - searching up 'gay lesbian Indian coming out,' as a kid didn't show me much relatable content, but I can already see the effect this video is going to have on younger audiences in the future. No matter what backlash you get for making this, or how many assholes click the dislike button, just know that I look up to you, and that there are so many people out there that are going to watch this and see themselves reflected. You've created something that will let people know that they're not alone, and honestly? That is worth so much more than you could possibly imagine. Thank you so much, I am in absolute awe :)
I think i almost started tearing up reading this, It was so beautiful. A perfect package of everything i'd want to hear. thank you so so much for watching, i truly appreciate it. much love
Your story is amazing... You're brave, strong & beautiful.. Stay like this forever.... & I have said this before & I'm saying it again. you're amazing. 🏳🌈❤... Lots n lots of love for you..:3
yesterday I saw your story and till now I am smiling without any reason it's really hilarious (( you really convert your serious story into funny one + your face expressions still rotating in my mind 🤣)) I never ever listen coming out story like this one 💯💯
The way I relate to every single experience of your down to the truth and dare one has kinda made me at loss of thoughts. I never ever thought someone did those same things or had those same thoughts as me as a girl growing up in India. So this is genuinely the first time I'm finding out that my growing up experience wasn't that rare and I'm so integrally happy rn ☺.
i always thought my experience growing up was a complete rarity and finding relatability with other people felt so surreal so i guess we have that in common too hehehe xD
Omg!!! I have seen so many coming out videos online ( i would go as far to say that i seen them all 😂) But never did i think i would see an Indian one😳😳 Amazing work here!!!🌈🌈🌈 I AM SO HAPPY YAYYYY🎉
Ahh I have so many thing to say. God, you are absolutely amazing and so freaking hilarious and relatable. The way you tell stories is so unique and you're truly inspirational. Also, quick PSA but you were that senior who I most definitely looked up to and fell for and then eventually realised I was gay. Thank you for existing and making such great queer desi content, the world truly needs. ✊❤️🌈
ahhhhhh this is so sweet i've just been re-reading this and smiling like a fool. I CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE BEEN THAT SENIOR MY BUCKET LIST IS COMPLETE lololol . Thank you for saying this its super duper sweet
""How unfair is that,how unfair is that I LIKE someone who will NEVER EVER love me back.."'😭it touched, pinned into my core of heart. ❤️I often told this exact line in my childhood nd collegehood also in nowadays...and I had also one more condition in which u love,and u only get pain because she used to hating u more,when u care for her more😑😑😐😐😐😶and also obviously he had a boyfriend also.....
Great video!!! Can't wait for the next part.... And I agree that school uniforms suck, I had two uniforms one was the regular one and other was track suit(same for boys and girls, and soooo much more comfortable), we were only allowed to were the track suit on days with games lesson and hobby (3 days) . I always used to wait for those 3 days.
Omggg I can't believe how much I relate to most of this on a personal level!! Prarthana, you are amazing!! Can't wait for the next part of thr story!💕🏳️🌈
I almost cried at the end of the video. I can relate so much.🥺 Thank you for talking about it. Keep making more vids, we need more Indian queer content!😩🏳️🌈
My story is VERY similar to your story. The only thing different is I'm a bi. I was really young when I asked my mom to give me a "boy cut" and I hated wearing frocks and tops and hairclips all that shit. I hated wearing the school uniform cuz of that goddamn skirt and hairband! And I was maybe 9? When I got my best friend. Also my crush and my current gf. So, when I first met her my heart did a weird flip and I was like is this love?! And I googled "can girl like girls? " cuz I was a stupid kid. And that one google search changed my life. I got to learn about the LGBTQIA+ and I started learning more. I knew I wasn't lesbian. Cuz i have liked boys before. And then the term "bisexual" popped up. And I knew that was it! I'm 19 now, have my bestie as my gf for 3 years. Super happy. Got a job. Came out to my friends and family, some supported me and some didn't but idc. Prarthana, your story is so very beautiful and inspiring and reminded me of my story so much! God bless you!
Looking at the comments.. I am feeling so good that there are some people in indian that are not against lgbtq. I am from Punjab and in this community there is lot of hate for lgbtq!! I am bisexual myself...
Damn my heart broke for the 14-15 year old Prarthana. I’m so glad you had supportive friends. I know there’s a gay teenager somewhere watching this and feeling braver and less lonely for it. Thank you for sharing your story!
Your story is so soo relatable. I haven't come out to my family yet, just few friends. But when I do, I am definitely making a coming out video as well. Thanks for the inspiration ! :D
I'm pretty amazed by the way you expressed yourself 😅 I can't even imagine the pain and burden u've gone through 🫂🥺 but u've reciprocated that feelings into something else and gathered the courage to speak about it✨ I hope someone who is a part of this community find this helpful and inspirational ❤️ what I wanted to tell u guyzz is that everything abut you guyz are normal😇 don't be ashamed of who u are. Be yourself and shine more✨
This was a great video! You're so brave and confident and beautiful!! As a young person questioning her sexuality, you give me hope to not have to live my whole life in fear and in closet! As you said Rose&Rosie, nowthisisliving,they have had a huge impact on my life as well and seeing your story, a young desi queer, it is so refreshing and important and I'm glad that I came across this video! Can't wait for Part-2. Thank you so much!✨❤️🌈
I lost my best friend of 18 years after coming out to him. It has damaged me so much emotionally that I'm still living in pain, anxiety and trust issues
@SUKOON के सतरंग🏳️🌈 Can we interact somewhere else?? Maybe on insta? Or wherever? It's fine if you say No, but I'm still asking because I need this at this time
15:15 "No one has tried to change being gay than a gay person themselves". This line sooo true. Heck, I even remember forcing my self to watch straight porn at one point, hoping it'll get me attracted to girls. I laugh thinking about it now, but man was it a traumatic experience ! I was basically giving myself a self conversion therapy. Which is why spreading awareness about Lgbtq is soo importance, ( and thanks for making this video as a part of it ). No one should ever not like who they are !
Thank You for putting your story out, positive stories do have an impact on lives. Especially, the ones which are rare.. like a brown South Asian living in India sharing their coming out experience (Queer stories of white folks do help but nothing comes at par with seeing someone who looks just like you) You didn't hold back anything, the kind of vulnerability takes up a lot of strength. I laughed, I cried, I could empathise, feel that sting inside my heart, basically I lived these 20 minutes with you (Great editing with those funny bits, also love your South Indian accent) Can't tell you how much excitedly I am to watch the 2nd vid. Love you loads. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My goodness thank you. I agree, we rarely ever get to see ourselves in stories and it feels easier when we find some relatability somewhere. IM GLAD YOU LIKED THE SOUTH INDIAN ACCENT hehehe. Much love 💞💞
All of it was relatable as hell,i felt the same as you since childhood. Being a bisexual(probably lesbian but i still restain myself from thinking it) from a country Bangladesh where only heterosexual relation is legal in law and religion, i also had tough time to come out to my 2 best friends only, Coming out to family or society is never an option as i am a muslim though i wish i could come out and i would not have to hide who i am for the 23 fucking years n more coming ahed, being an indian you still are lucky after removal of 377 you can at least come out,or date who you want to date😅😅
I remember moving to India at the age of 12. I came out unintentionally because I made a very gay post on Facebook, and someone from my school saw it. Suddenly, everyone found out, and I was bullied mercilessly. I had already been bullied for other reasons, but it only got worse. (I have naturally white hair due to a medical condition; feel free to look it up. I'm never insecure about it because I love it.) My best friend turned out to be gay too, although I didn’t know that at the time. I even had a crush on her! We started dating a few years later. Fast forward to when we got engaged-of course, we had to move back to the States. My mom did not support LGBTQIA+ rights. One day, my fiancée and I decided to surprise her by visiting her house. I awkwardly smiled and said, “Hey, Mom, guess what? Your little angel is engaged to this girl-the girl I said I was ‘best friends’ with.” Oh, did we get into an argument! Luckily, even though she didn't support my “gayness,” she still loved me and has been a great mother-in-law to my wife.
At 8:42, I cracked up, fell from my chair. This is the most relatable video that I have ever seen. Waiting for part 2 :> Love what you're doing, this representation matters a lot to young people like me. I'm a 15 year old Indian, non-binary queer person. Like you, I always tried to fit in and tried to remove the 'gay' out of me but well like you rightly said, we're born gay. Like many others, I had thought of coming out to my parents when I turn 21 or at least am financially independent. But....I have been taking therapy for my anxiety attacks since a month now and my therapist told me that one of the reasons for their occurrence is lack of 'self-acceptance'. They told me to come out to my parents because that'll help. Sooo I came out to my mom a few days ago and all she said was, "OKAY." Yay!! I don't have to lie anymore and shopping from the men's section is allowed 🏳️🌈
Most relatable content on the internet. OF ALL TIMES. Just one difference, I fell for a senior instead of my best friend (maybe because I didn't have a best friend) 😅😂 Way to go with your coming out story! Lots of love ❤
@@ShortHairedBrownQueer and when u had fallen in love with ur bestfriend in childhood primary school days ,and on senior in high school days 😅and obviously I got pain with memories to be stored in my mind forever
@@ShortHairedBrownQueer ""How unfair is that,how unfair is that I LIKE someone who will NEVER EVER love me back.."'😭it touched, pinned into my core of heart. ❤️I often told this exact line in my childhood nd collegehood also in nowadays...and I had also one more condition in which u love,and u only get pain because she used to hating u more,when u care for her more😑😑😐😐😐😶and also obviously he had a boyfriend also.....
the thing she said "born as gay " this is so relatable because when i was in class 1st i like my tuition teacher's daughter which is in class 8thh ...... (fuckkkkkkkk why the hell i am sharing this public) well at last i just want to i came out to my brother and his reaction was like "you are too young to know " and i was like dudeee i am 18 .. i guess i can only prove him when ill have any gf ..... and yeah at last i just want to say you are creating a great content i love it .
Finally found my kinda "community ". It really feels lonely being queer in place where I live now. I came out to my parents last month. But they're are forcing me to get me into marrying a guy. They're literally blackmailing me emotionally. Can I join any LGBT groups online so as to feel like I'm not alone and feel welcomed ?
I felt it..bruh the struggle of looking for the type of clothes i want..and all the type of clothes that I like are in the other section aka the "men's section"✨ Omg yeshhhh coming out part cannot wait for part two.💃
bro why did we both get a crush on one of our besties at 13- but honestly, i found one of your posts on tumblr, and here i am. i got my hair cut today, it's shorter than yours is in this video and i've wanted it for a good three years and i'm really happy with how it turned out! fellow desi lesbian here (can family see my comments? i hope not, this is how i die otherwise); i wouldn't say i'm butch/masc, i guess i like the look of button ups and baggy tees a lot. but like, i LOVE dresses as well. not a big fan of make up, but lipstick and eye linerr (kajal) seem neat. i'm a mix, i guess. i still like that bestie of mine tho- only thing is that she's straight (as far as she knows) and she's leaving next year. fun :D /j
Hey there! Really proud of you! Im currently in a relationship with this awesome girl! Even my friends had a positive reaction to me being a bisexual! I've not yet come out to my parents yet but i hope its gonna end well! Anyway really happy for you!❤🌈🥰🏳️🌈
also fell in love with my best friend.we had to split up because we had to go to different schools.I finally told her about my feelings after 9 years ,during my depression period.because I thought I will be dead after😅(because I had suicidal thoughts)got rejected.depression got worst.well lucky me😄it’s like someone stabbed my heart 1000 times.now I can’t get her out of my head.well that’s my one sided love.I wonder everyday that If I hadn’t told her my feelings I still be talking to her. Thank you for sharing your story.you’re awesome😎
I'm sorry to hear about that reaction. Its good that you did share your feelings, you should always be authentic to yourself. I truly believe you'll find friends and love that will accept you for who you are. Much love and take care
So grateful to you for uploading this, your Instagram post led me to your RUclips and I'm so glad it did, thank you for uploading this! Also, you're so brave and gorgeous, it's amazing ✨
You know I had watched this video a while back and rewatched it again and like I have never related to anything like being a hardcore tomboy 💀✨Or yk nit understanding stuff because we were not told that it was okay and yk even though my friends are okay with it but like ik for a fact that my parents even though not conservative would have some problem to accept this, and even though I have always had know I did try to deny it but finally I have come to terms with it and you ma'am have been such a great help as you mentioned social media is one of my safe spaces and you have been a big big part of it your videos have the right touch of humour 🤌with them along with the info ofc and it's just so nice to have some good indian queer representation . So thank you so much for putting out such good content 💜now gonna go watch part two 👽
hahaha! i'm so so glad to read this. thank you so much for your comment. I'm glad that you found this relatable and it's good to remember that we never struggle with these things alone
hello! fellow desi lesbian here~ im considering coming out to my parents sometime soon since i got a job offer so im really glad i found your video! thank you so much sharing your story!!!! 🌈 P.S: im a simp for ur hands
My pre school teacher made me stand in front of the class because I refused to wear frocks. Watching this feels like watching MY life story. I can relate to you in so many ways. Love from Sri Lanka. ♥️👍👍👍
I related to this 100 percent And denial is so true also having crush on best friend then dating a guy to look cool and then accepting yourself finally Still in closet But i related to this Thanks for sharing your story
There's no errors or accidents in nature...Everything in nature has it's own rule, purpose and reason for the existence.. Be real and being a person who you are.. Radhe-Radhe 💙
So relatable, I too like my best friend a lot, but one day I knew that she had a bf, then I got upset and jealous ... I can't control my feelings about her and I left her... Move on...😌😌
I never had gender envy growing up with the way i dressed up, but i felt a lot of envy with how i was feeling, i just looked at boys in my class and wanted to feel as cool as they were (they were all sorts of uncool, but 12 yr old me, wanted to be a dude bro)😂 even today some part of me still feels that way i guess, also the crush on senior part really called me out, this is such a beautiful video, sending out bisexual demiro vibes to anyone who needs it🌼💕🌼💕 Also i remember when 377 was finally scrapped and i told my friends abt it, they were like, oh so you are into women and i was silent (mind empty coz anxiety) but they were pretty chill, no biggie reaction at all that's it!
Gosshhh yesss I would be envious of the things that boys were able to do like ask out girls :p thank you for sharing this!!! Glad that your friends took it well 💞💞
What kind of clothes you wear and if you are comfortable in them or not matters A LOT. I know coz i myself have to wear clothes in which i'm not comfortable.....and it have f*cked up with me a lot. I have no confidence anymore.
@@shobhakumari6523 i don't want to leave India. I want to be able to express my self in my country. My parents say you can do whatever just move to other country. But i want to stay in India 😩
I absolutely agree with you. I think if I could've just worn the clothes I wanted and expressed myself, I would've had tons more confidence throughout my childhood! And yesss we should be able to be ourselves in india. It's just as much our country as anyone else's
I can literally relate to everything you said in this video, hating school uniform (tho my classmates and teachers haven't seen me in school dress a lot because I wear our school house uniform most of the time), have homophobic friends, being afraid of myself because of my sexuality, fell for my best friend and only went to school to see her and the only clothes I own are "boyish" and I absolutely hate long hair. Gad your friends were supportive after you came out to them cuz mine are assholes and I am only out to my internet friends lol. Also just came across this channel and I absolutely love it.
Gosh,I am confused.I like girl a lot but boys are fine too. And so I think I am Bi-Sexual. But I am from Bihar and Patriarchal, Abusive & , Financially Dependent Family.So, Bcs of fear;I like boys. Having a girlfriend is never a option. I want to go abroad to at least live my life.

"No one has tried to not being Gay except they are gay person themselves". This line hits hard to me.

REALLL
That burn on engineers was a chefs kiss. One great thing to come out of trauma is epic humour. Very relatable ❤️

This is the funniest coming out video i’ve ever watched 🤣 It is so well made. I love your humor
Hahaha thank you, that's a big compliment for me 🤭🤭
Finally i found a genuine person who talking about real fact on lgbtq+ topic.

Hahhaha delightful world to live in
@@ShortHairedBrownQueer XDDD yesss
I am gay and I know this fact for 4 years now but I still hesitate to tell my family about it and most challenging part is finding the one is hard.
It's definitely not easy. But i do hope it goes well if you ever choose to tell them :)
I'm sorry if this is weird but I love you and thank you for existing this is my comfort channel
Oh no not at all! It's super sweet, thank you so much. Reading your comment really made my day 💕
Looking at you as a bisexual, I'm feeling envious of your vibes hahah. Youre cool , keep being yourself
I LOVE YOUUU!!!! and you’re hilarious
Thank you random internet stranger
All of it was relatable as hell,i felt the same as you since childhood. Being a bisexual(probably lesbian but i still restain myself from thinking it) from a country Bangladesh where only heterosexual relation is legal in law and religion, i also had tough time to come out to my 2 best friends only, Coming out to family or society is never an option as i am a muslim though i wish i could come out and i would not have to hide who i am for the 23 fucking years n more coming ahed, being an indian you still are lucky after removal of 377 you can at least come out,or date who you want to date😅😅
7:19 Bruhh don't even get me started on how embarrassing it is to fall for a junior in your school 💀
hahaha been there done that :p
I remember moving to India at the age of 12. I came out unintentionally because I made a very gay post on Facebook, and someone from my school saw it. Suddenly, everyone found out, and I was bullied mercilessly. I had already been bullied for other reasons, but it only got worse. (I have naturally white hair due to a medical condition; feel free to look it up. I'm never insecure about it because I love it.)
My best friend turned out to be gay too, although I didn’t know that at the time. I even had a crush on her! We started dating a few years later.
Fast forward to when we got engaged-of course, we had to move back to the States. My mom did not support LGBTQIA+ rights. One day, my fiancée and I decided to surprise her by visiting her house. I awkwardly smiled and said, “Hey, Mom, guess what? Your little angel is engaged to this girl-the girl I said I was ‘best friends’ with.”
Oh, did we get into an argument! Luckily, even though she didn't support my “gayness,” she still loved me and has been a great mother-in-law to my wife.
Bol woh rahe hain, par shabd hamare hain🥲
Yayyyy diving in 😁
Woohoooo
Awesome story... And I insanely relate with it !! 🌈
woooohoooooo glad to hear it
I enjoyed watching this video so much! Very relatable 🤓😅 Thanks for sharing your story 😊😊
hiii i'm so glad to hear! thank you for watching
You're amazing. More power to you!
Sending you loads of love💕
Much love to you!! 💕💕
Prarthana woke up and chose to spill ✨trauma✨
whoooooooops
At 8:42, I cracked up, fell from my chair.
This is the most relatable video that I have ever seen. Waiting for part 2 :>
Love what you're doing, this representation matters a lot to young people like me.
I'm a 15 year old Indian, non-binary queer person. Like you, I always tried to fit in and tried to remove the 'gay' out of me but well like you rightly said, we're born gay.
Like many others, I had thought of coming out to my parents when I turn 21 or at least am financially independent. But....I have been taking therapy for my anxiety attacks since a month now and my therapist told me that one of the reasons for their occurrence is lack of 'self-acceptance'. They told me to come out to my parents because that'll help. Sooo I came out to my mom a few days ago and all she said was, "OKAY."
Yay!! I don't have to lie anymore and shopping from the men's section is allowed 🏳️🌈
hehehehe that's so fantastic! I'm so so happy that you're not lying about it anymore TIME TO BUY SOME SHIRTS WOOHOO
live life to the fullest..your inner happiness is the most important ..
Absolutely!
Soo freackin relatable😂✨..and also u look so pretty with long hair😌
hehehe my mother thought the same thing xD
People who were forced to put on horrible school uniforms assemble 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
Most relatable content on the internet. OF ALL TIMES. Just one difference, I fell for a senior instead of my best friend (maybe because I didn't have a best friend) 😅😂 Way to go with your coming out story! Lots of love ❤
Ahhhhh I'm so glad to hear it! Yesss senior or best friend, as long as we're making bad decisions xD lots of love right back at ya
@@ShortHairedBrownQueer and when u had fallen in love with ur bestfriend in childhood primary school days ,and on senior in high school days 😅and obviously I got pain with memories to be stored in my mind forever
@@ShortHairedBrownQueer ""How unfair is that,how unfair is that I LIKE someone who will NEVER EVER love me back.."'😭it touched, pinned into my core of heart. ❤️I often told this exact line in my childhood nd collegehood also in nowadays...and I had also one more condition in which u love,and u only get pain because she used to hating u more,when u care for her more😑😑😐😐😐😶and also obviously he had a boyfriend also.....
the thing she said "born as gay " this is so relatable because when i was in class 1st i like my tuition teacher's daughter which is in class 8thh ...... (fuckkkkkkkk why the hell i am sharing this public) well at last i just want to i came out to my brother and his reaction was like "you are too young to know " and i was like dudeee i am 18 .. i guess i can only prove him when ill have any gf ..... and yeah at last i just want to say you are creating a great content i love it .
Finally found my kinda "community ". It really feels lonely being queer in place where I live now. I came out to my parents last month. But they're are forcing me to get me into marrying a guy. They're literally blackmailing me emotionally. Can I join any LGBT groups online so as to feel like I'm not alone and feel welcomed ?
I really appreciate your work..!!
Thank you!
15:15 😭true
Yessss :(
LOVED THIS!!!!
So glad to hear it!
HIHI I JUST FOUND YOU. I need to tell you(if you ever see this, that this is cool, and very relatable. (except the came out to family part-)
hiiiii thank you thank you! I'm glad to hear it was relatable
I felt it..bruh the struggle of looking for the type of clothes i want..and all the type of clothes that I like are in the other section aka the "men's section"✨ Omg yeshhhh coming out part cannot wait for part two.💃
its so annoying why cant they just have a tshirt and shirt section
bro why did we both get a crush on one of our besties at 13-
but honestly, i found one of your posts on tumblr, and here i am.
i got my hair cut today, it's shorter than yours is in this video and i've wanted it for a good three years and i'm really happy with how it turned out!
fellow desi lesbian here (can family see my comments? i hope not, this is how i die otherwise); i wouldn't say i'm butch/masc, i guess i like the look of button ups and baggy tees a lot.
but like, i LOVE dresses as well. not a big fan of make up, but lipstick and eye linerr (kajal) seem neat.
i'm a mix, i guess.
i still like that bestie of mine tho- only thing is that she's straight (as far as she knows) and she's leaving next year. fun :D /j
I'm so glad to hear that! I'm sure the haircut looks amazing. I'm very over that bestie crush so I'm sure you will be over it as well soon :)
Hey there! Really proud of you! Im currently in a relationship with this awesome girl! Even my friends had a positive reaction to me being a bisexual! I've not yet come out to my parents yet but i hope its gonna end well! Anyway really happy for you!❤🌈🥰🏳️🌈
Heyyyy that's so fantastic to hear, congratulations!! I definitely hope it's going to end well too
also fell in love with my best friend.we had to split up because we had to go to different schools.I finally told her about my feelings after 9 years ,during my depression period.because I thought I will be dead after😅(because I had suicidal thoughts)got rejected.depression got worst.well lucky me😄it’s like someone stabbed my heart 1000 times.now I can’t get her out of my head.well that’s my one sided love.I wonder everyday that If I hadn’t told her my feelings I still be talking to her.
Thank you for sharing your story.you’re awesome😎
I'm sorry to hear about that reaction. Its good that you did share your feelings, you should always be authentic to yourself. I truly believe you'll find friends and love that will accept you for who you are. Much love and take care
@@ShortHairedBrownQueer thank you so much.it means a lot coming from you,as someone who understand those feelings.
Hella me! ... Damn relatable 😐.. Btw thnx for sharing & waiting for the 2nd part.
Yessss hope to get it out soon!
Hey Prarthna u are my inspiration ❤️love u
💕💕💕
So grateful to you for uploading this, your Instagram post led me to your RUclips and I'm so glad it did, thank you for uploading this! Also, you're so brave and gorgeous, it's amazing ✨
heyyy i'm so glad it did too! thank you so so mcuh
You know I had watched this video a while back and rewatched it again and like I have never related to anything like being a hardcore tomboy 💀✨Or yk nit understanding stuff because we were not told that it was okay and yk even though my friends are okay with it but like ik for a fact that my parents even though not conservative would have some problem to accept this, and even though I have always had know I did try to deny it but finally I have come to terms with it and you ma'am have been such a great help as you mentioned social media is one of my safe spaces and you have been a big big part of it your videos have the right touch of humour 🤌with them along with the info ofc and it's just so nice to have some good indian queer representation . So thank you so much for putting out such good content 💜now gonna go watch part two 👽
hahaha! i'm so so glad to read this. thank you so much for your comment. I'm glad that you found this relatable and it's good to remember that we never struggle with these things alone
Omg we are so same, we have so much in common
hello! fellow desi lesbian here~

Keep going
Absolutely!
7:52 I have a crush on my bestfriend too(who is straight) and me coming out to her as BISEXUAL… Yayyyy…
Dude it is really intense💜💜😂
My god yess it is
My pre school teacher made me stand in front of the class because I refused to wear frocks.
Watching this feels like watching MY life story. I can relate to you in so many ways. Love from Sri Lanka. ♥️👍👍👍
That's incredibly ignorant of them. I do hope that things have gotten better. Thank you for watching and I'm glad to hear that!
Omg I'm lesbian and you're my type 🥵😱😱
Never played never have I ever, but truth and dare is 🔥🔥🔥
hehehe
I related to this 100 percent
And denial is so true also having crush on best friend then dating a guy to look cool and then accepting yourself finally
Still in closet
But i related to this
Thanks for sharing your story
I am so glad to hear that! Thank you so much for watching 💕
I feel me so much here and I'm inspired by the remaining 💕
that's such a beautiful statement
There's no errors or accidents in nature...Everything in nature has it's own rule, purpose and reason for the existence..
Be real and being a person who you are..
Radhe-Radhe 💙
Absolutely
U are soo gud really 🥲❤️ your videos are very motivating..thnku for making the video
awww thank you so much! i really appreciate hearing that
LOL your first couple seconds was like,...whaaaat and then,..aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh LOL RESPECT !!! I'm still struggling with coming out,...
I'm sure it'll happen at the right time!
7:53 ouch !!!! Crush on best friend hurts 😢😢😢😢😢😢 How do I know ? Cause I had one........ didn't end well 😅😅😅😅
So relatable, I too like my best friend a lot, but one day I knew that she had a bf, then I got upset and jealous ... I can't control my feelings about her and I left her... Move on...😌😌
yesssss probably for the best!
Can't wait for part - 2
soon hopefully!
I never had gender envy growing up with the way i dressed up, but i felt a lot of envy with how i was feeling, i just looked at boys in my class and wanted to feel as cool as they were (they were all sorts of uncool, but 12 yr old me, wanted to be a dude bro)😂 even today some part of me still feels that way i guess, also the crush on senior part really called me out, this is such a beautiful video, sending out bisexual demiro vibes to anyone who needs it🌼💕🌼💕
Also i remember when 377 was finally scrapped and i told my friends abt it, they were like, oh so you are into women and i was silent (mind empty coz anxiety) but they were pretty chill, no biggie reaction at all that's it!
Woww❤
Gosshhh yesss I would be envious of the things that boys were able to do like ask out girls :p thank you for sharing this!!! Glad that your friends took it well 💞💞
What kind of clothes you wear and if you are comfortable in them or not matters A LOT. I know coz i myself have to wear clothes in which i'm not comfortable.....and it have f*cked up with me a lot. I have no confidence anymore.
You are not alone in this. I want to leave India for good.
@@shobhakumari6523 i don't want to leave India. I want to be able to express my self in my country. My parents say you can do whatever just move to other country. But i want to stay in India 😩
I absolutely agree with you. I think if I could've just worn the clothes I wanted and expressed myself, I would've had tons more confidence throughout my childhood! And yesss we should be able to be ourselves in india. It's just as much our country as anyone else's
Proud of you girl❤🎉
I can literally relate to everything you said in this video, hating school uniform (tho my classmates and teachers haven't seen me in school dress a lot because I wear our school house uniform most of the time), have homophobic friends, being afraid of myself because of my sexuality, fell for my best friend and only went to school to see her and the only clothes I own are "boyish" and I absolutely hate long hair.
Gad your friends were supportive after you came out to them cuz mine are assholes and I am only out to my internet friends lol.
Also just came across this channel and I absolutely love it.
ahhhhhh i'm super glad to hear it was relatable and i think your internet friends are way cooler than any unsupportive irl friends. much loveeeeee
Gosh,I am confused.I like girl a lot but boys are fine too. And so I think I am Bi-Sexual. But I am from Bihar and Patriarchal, Abusive & , Financially Dependent Family.So, Bcs of fear;I like boys. Having a girlfriend is never a option. I want to go abroad to at least live my life.
I truly hope that you manage to have the kind of life you want to, wherever that is! Much love 🧁
Omg that intro is my life 😆😆😆
Good to know I'm not alone :)
Can we have a meet up pleaseee ♥️♥️
