+Gennaro Rossi Mistakes? Your a really crappy person. Come on. The fact that there are gay people in the world doesn't effect you in the slightest. This is HUGE for Troye, even though this was 2 years ago. I hate when people like you are judgmental, and just disrespectful. Being gay makes some people happy. Its none of your business! This is Troyer's channel and he deserves respect and support. Not hate from rude, judgmental people like you. He is a great, successful person, back off.
Dear Troye, even 10 years later, I wanna thank you again for being such a role model for all of us queer kids and adults during all these years. You have made us feel safe, understood, right. You have let us relate to your songs and made us realize that our shared experiences, both bad and good, are part of the whole community and you taught us how to celebrate our identities. You have helped me figuring out my sexuality, you showed me how to question my identity and be happy about what I would find. You have inspired me all these years and I have always stayed by your side, as you had stayed by mine, ours. Thank you, forever. Alessandro
Are you joking? He became a depraved pervert. Sex-centered personality and lyrics, exposing nudity at every step and even displaying filthy behaviour publicly. He's a warning not a role model. He was still full of purity and ambition 10 years ago.
most religious leaders are coming around to the concept that being gay isn't a sin....but, acting on it (living the gay lifestyle) is not acceptable, per Biblical teaching. some religious groups are going beyond that to acceptance of the life style. like Dr. Phil says...being gay is hard wired [in the brain]. and you may not like Dr. Phil, but he has an entire professional group of experts consulting with him, so his stand on this topic is not just his own whim.
mohammad mian As a human being I think that you are a hateful idiot, regardless of whether it is something others taught you to be, or you actually came up with it all by yourself.
#HereFromBloom This is actually so weird to watch in 2018. Seeing him so comfortable nowadays to do explicit music video's with men; you kinda forget that just 5 years ago he was terrified to come out. I didn't become die-hard until this year so I guess I just always assumed he was comfortable with himself.
He's grown so much as a person, it's so weird for me to go back to these videos as well, even though I saw them ages ago when they were first released. I'm honestly so proud of how far he's come. His new album is absolutely amazing, and you can really see what a talented young man he's grown into.
Skyler Grey // All Is Vanity Hey Honey you are not the only one. When I come out of the closet I start to see Troye Sivan and tge reason that I come out is when I saw Love Simon
Leandri Van der Walt oh. I’ve been a fan for years I just meant that I came back for the nostalgia. He’s been openly gay for a long time and talks ab men in his songs so I’m kinda wondering how u didn’t know?? Lol. Also that last part sounds a bit back handed. “He’s gay but I still love him” okay but that shouldn’t make a difference?? why wouldn’t you???
Good luck, Troye. It took me 63 years to do the same. I am now free to be the person I was always meant to be and so I'm happier than I have ever been. I think that might also have something to do with the fact that I now have a lifelong partner.
Great! I know that 63 years ago was not a good time for people like us and I really glad that you worked up the courage to be yourself with your partner happily. I’m only 12 but I feel that can really make a difference
I'd like to share my straight ally story. I'm a 46 year old straight, Atheist male. I was raised Christian, and told that though MANY of the verses of the Bible are either Old Testament verses negated by the New Testament, or metaphors. I was taught that the Bible's verses against homosexuality were definitely literal, that being gay was a sin, and that gay people were degenerates. I was pretty brainwashed into the whole thing, so I went along with it, and hated who I was told to hate. Then I went to a job interview. I had answered an ad in the paper looking for employees for the town's waterslide park. I was 18, which made me just barely eligible. I thought I'd finally meet pretty girls, get a good tan, and maybe lose my virginity. I went to the interview, and was asked a series of questions about how I got along with others, how well I could swim, what my work ethic was like, etc. Then the interviewer stopped me cold with a question that seemed to have no place in a job interview. He said "Do you have a girlfriend?" I said "No.". He said "Do you like girls?". I asked "Why do you need to know that?" He said "We don't hire homosexuals." What he said should have made perfect sense to me, given my beliefs up to that point. Of course a waterslide park wouldn't want to hire homosexuals. Who would? I mean you'd have boys who like boys around a bunch of kids, and that would be completely inappropriate, right? So why did I suddenly feel so bad? I must have sat there for a minute, unable to speak. The man said "I don't think you're right for the job. Thanks for coming, and good luck finding a summer job." I walked out, and completely re-examined my life. Someone had guessed I was gay, and had discriminated against me. Empathy replaced all the lessons, all the conditioning, and all the threats. I lost my faith that day, and I've been an ally and advocate for equal rights ever since. People say that "Love is all you need". But that's not right. People who discriminate love their partners, their kids, their friends and their country. I don't think love really is what we need. We need empathy. Empathy saved me, and now there's no limit to who I can love.
I'm a Catholic Girl and I love all people of all race,religion, and people who loves any one. Meaning being bisexual, lesbians, homosexual, etc. My history teacher in her class she feels that she doesn't care what or who you are she will treat you as you want to be. One of the rules in her classroom is "NO ETHNIC, RACIST, HOMOSEXUAL, ETC REMARKS ARE MAD IN THIS CLASSROOM"
Cam Lucas In order to be a Christian AND love everyone, you have to ignore parts of the Bible. You can also love everyone if you ignore the whole Bible.
Docktor Jim no you don't, you haven't educated yourself very well in the Bible. and yes if you ignore the whole Bible, you can love everyone. but you also have no sense of morality and truth, because if everyone's truth is whatever is truth in their own eyes, then wouldn't truth be different for everyone? in which case truth is no longer truth, is it is lies in the eyes of someone else and there is no real sense of right and wrong. then what are you living for? a few useless happy days that will end in nothingness and your inevitable obliteration?
sunwillalwaysrise Here's some biblical morality and truth: "If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." Leviticus 20:13 Fuck that. Fuck your threat of hell. Fuck your ignorance.
Felicity Flores Because I'm sexually confused, and this held so much emotion for me. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for him to come out to us, his parents, and his friends.
i cried too although I'm straight but imagining the struggles that he went through and the way he was terrified to show the world who he actually was is depressing. now that he's finally come out, his life will be a hell of alot easier, he looks satisfied to let go of the truth :) i still love him, troy all the way!!!
I recently came out to all of my friends and all of them accepted the fact that I'm gay. They told me that they love me for who I am without judging my sexual orientation. Seriously...I've never been so happy in my life I'm almost 21 and kept this "secret" for more than six years. I had thoughts of suicide and felt inwardly disintegrated. My family is pretty bound to traditions because we're Jewish, so this is gonna be a hard nut to crack...I've never been this scared and I fear rejection from my mom. My aunt and uncle know and they accept me and told me that being gay won't change our relationship. Both said they'll always love me because we're a family. You inspire me a lot and I will tell her, because I don't want to suffer from this anymore and I'm not ashamed for who I am! Thank you, Troye and good luck to all the other beautiful people, who want to come out of the closet. It gets better!
Thank you so much, guys. Unfortunately, she found out. She was shocked and couldn't handle it. While I was at my aunt's place, she spent two days with crying and was devastated and ignored me. Then we talked the whole night and now she tries to live with it. She was so accepting after two days...it's absolutely incredible. She said no matter who you love, I will always support you and you can talk to me about everything. She's the best.
Even though this was made about 7 years it's still so relevant - I love how he talks about the importance of other coming out videos because his video is helping so many other people too. Thank you for being an inspiration for others :)
i had the same situation when i came out and i apologize for that man. i'll be your friend, my instagram is @clloudyydays if you ever want to message 💞
I am a 60 year old gay man. This was the video I watched the first time I saw you about a year ago. I think you are great. I can't wait to see the movie "Boy Erased". I think your music is beautiful. I have listened to a lot of it. I think you are an inspiration to a lot of people. You may not realize it, but people like you even help older people like me.
I'm a 13 year old boy I go to a boys school I'm NOT gay I act what they call "feminine" and I act a bit dramatic everyone who I've met has once asked me: are you gay or are you a girl. they tease me about my personality I jus want it to stop, I want them to except me for who I am plz stand up for yourself, don't be like me and let it keep happening
Akash Moana-Singh be proud of yourself❤ I'm a thirteen year old girl and people think I'm lesbian because I have a fairly deep voice and have only had one boyfriend in my life. I just laugh it all off and say, "Just because every single boy in my grade is either a prick or 'too good' doesn't mean I'm lesbian. I'm young, I don't really want a boyfriend so I can focus on becoming a successful young woman. I will date when I please, thank you very much." Leaves em baffles every time. Keep your head high and be your sassy self! Fuck everyone else.
I came out on 2023 at the age of 44. My only regret is why I didn't do it earlier. Today I am myself and feel lucky to share my life with a wonderful man. Thanks for your video Troye. Watched you on primavera sound Barcelona 2024, awesome performance!
I'm a 56 year old midwestern mama and just saw you on The View today. I immediately went to my computer to watch this video. What a beautiful human you are Troye. If everyone could be as loving and accepting as your family and friends, what a wonderful world it would be.
August 7, 2018 5 years I love seeing his transformation from scared teenage boy to confident adult who doesn’t give a crap about what anyone says of him,love you Troye, can’t wait until Bloom.
4 YEARS AGO????? I WAS STARTING MY JUNIOR YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL????? I REMEMBER GETTING THE NOTIF FOR THIS.... *This is when youtube was lovely and pure*
A couple months ago at his show in Houston, right before he sang heaven, Troye went on about lgbtq rights, thanking us for supporting his sexuality, and other things like "it will get better" and encouraging closeted people to not be afraid of who they are. I almost started crying, he's come so far. What I would do to meet Troye and tell him my story...
"my aim for this channel is to make you guys smile and you guys laugh, and thats NEVER GOING TO CHANGE" 1:08 6 years later, you havnt broken ur promise. u still make us laugh and smile but with music instead of videos. we love u troye.
Currently binge listening the new album and youtube recommended this for me so I clicked on it. Apparently I already liked the video years ago and it’s adorable. 10 years fly by quickly and I’m glad he’s grown into an amazing man and he’s enjoying life. He gave me so much and still does with his music. This feels beautifully nostalgic
2K thumbs down? Wtf is wrong with this world? It doesn't matter if you're straight, gay, bi, black, white, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc. Everyone should be accepted for who they are and it makes me sick that some people still won't just accept that every person is different and they're allowed to be different and that's okay.
2.5k thumbs down but 300k thumbs up, there will always be ignorant fools in this world but as long as the majority understand then it's okay to have a few idiots.
MrMousiee Yes it is ok for people to be gay, but it is also ok for people to be disgusted by gays... I have no problem with it but some people do, and there is nothing wrong with that either!!!
No it is not ok to hate gay people cos people are the way they r who they rand u are a a big fat bully if u hate gay people cos seriously guys why do you hate them
Katia Fenton I never said i hated them... but for some people its "gross" and its their opinion that they dont like them, because thats not the way life is supposed to be.
You know what annoys me about coming out videos? They shouldn't have to exist. Society determines that someone has to go through making a video, or "coming out" to everyone. Why can't we just automatically accept someone without making them go through this struggle and stress of coming out!? I think anyone who has the guts to film a video like this, is more of a man than I'll ever be! I hope you're very, very happy!
Sadly there is still so, so much hatred and bigotry in the world. That hatred against Gay people is still being taught by parents and by many Churches to the kids. Religious based hatred and social ignorance keeps getting taught and passed on down to each new generation of kids. Hatred and Bigotry is like a Cancer in society and it harms innocent loving people. God created love for all of his children to have in life. God designed and created all people including those that are LGBT+ Now if God did not like Gay people or LGBT people then God being all powerful could just make everyone be born as Heterosexuals. He would have done that centuries ago if he did not like Gay people.
Watching this 11 years ago when I was a wee little closeted lad was so so so helpful, I can not state how much it helped me come to terms with myself and who I am, to finally be free and realize living oppressed was more hurting than facing it. After growing pains, with my family, things are good, life is good. Not the best, but good, and I love it. Thank you!
I'm Christian and I don't see why people discriminate against gays so much. But it's more so the adults. I mean, i think we are more understanding as youth that people should be allowed to be themselves without judgement than adults. Adults are probably the reason we are so understanding. I mean they make it seem as if being gay is this whole 'thing' like it's complicated, but no. It's a different way of love and no one should ever deny love.
thank u they aren't different their still people they still have feelings people shouldn't be ashamed of who they r so u dumb people who discriminate should just stop cause their no different
Troye. I am 12 1/2 and bisexual. I came out to my best friends. Some of my motivation was from MilesChronicles. So when I got home I wanted to find a song that made me feel better. You and Hayley Kiyoko were the first things I listened to and for the first time in a long time I feel like myself. Thank you🙏🏾 Update: came out to my mom. It felt good
I'm 14 and have been in catholic education my whole life and grown up in a catholic family not once have a been told that being gay is wrong or bad, all the Catholics I know (along with me) support being gay. so please don't steep type Catholics/Christians as homophobics.
***** actually, discrimination against gays was in the Old Testaments. From what I know, when Jesus sacrificed himself at the cross, the New Testaments were written, which stated nothing against gays at all. ((I do not follow the Christian religion wo wome of my information may be off, but gays are technically "allowed" now.)) God wouldn't make people gay, just to bash them. And anyways, it's not a choice. You're born the sexuality you are. So, farewell.
I'm so happy to hear young guys come out at an early age. I'm 54 and came out only a few years ago. Been married to a gal for 28 years because I was told by a christian counselor that if I got married and had kids I wouldn't like guys anymore and being an impressionable young man I bought it. Even went through 8 years of conversion therapy. You CANNOT change who you are. So if you're a young man or gal watching this and haven't come out yet. DO IT!!! It'll be a lot easier to accept yourself now than later.
if you are still on youtube. please reply to this. i was forced to marry a woman and i'm 21. it never changes, right? i'm asking as a young person who is intensely struggling. there was a point where i got rid of my gay friends in hope to ''become straight'' and fulfill my life with her. there was a point i felt things for her, ( i am bi but mainly gay) but it didn't last too long. i
@anakinskywalker2002 I'm so sorry that you were forced to marry. It is true that we cannot change who we are. I'm sorry for your struggle but the sooner you accept yourself for who you are the better off you'll be. BE YOURSELF. Follow your heart. Do you have any support? I would get your gay friends back if you can. I take it your family isn't supportive?
@@Roberto72566 it really sucks. I have my gay friends back now, and some straight friends who support me. I live in London in the UK so by law I’m protected, but I’ve just lost the will to live because of everything, I’m trying so hard to accept myself. And this marriage doesn’t help, I can’t divorce her because I do then apparently the entire family will shatter. Her family and mine, I am responsible for her feelings, her families feelings, and my own family’s reputation. It’s so hard 😔
@anakinskywalker2002 That's a tough position to be in. But someone has you believing that you're responsible for all that. You're only responsible for yourself. They're responsible for their own actions not you. They chose to be happy or not. You're not responsible for their choices. If there is any way out take it. And you just might need to go your own way. You deserve to be happy. And if you're not happy then you're choosing that. I know it can be tough in the moment but you can get past this. I know it may be hard and you might need your friends to lean on. I hope they'll be a good support for you.
I’m so glad you’re out now!!!! And I’m so fkn sorry you had to go through the horrors of Christian counselors and conversion therapy aaggghhhh I hope you’re doing okay now!
okay i saw this video for the first time more than a year and half ago and i found it very touching. now, i'm watching this video for the 100th time as a different person and the only thing that i can say is that i'm proud of you in every single way possible. you're my role model and you never fail to make me proud, this video is just a proof of the fact that you're a really genuine and amazing person; i cried watching this video (again) and i don't even know why, i love you.
I never really knew growing up. I was 16 when my cousin and I started talking about the possibilities, I always had a girl crush, but I never really thought about it. But after that, it kind of occurred to me that I might not JUST like guys. I started labeling myself as bisexual, because that's how I felt. After that, my life really changed, I came out to my family and friends about being sexually abused for 10 years and sent a lot of the time going through court. But in between, I opened up to my friends and told them, "Guys, I need you to know, I am bi." And they were okay with that. After that, any friend I made, it was the first thing I told them, because I didn't want them to look at me when they found out. My facebook always had "Interested in: Men and Woman" but no one really knew. It never clicked in their heads. On February 8th of this year at 3 in the morning, I decided that I wanted to come out on facebook, it was time my family found out and any friends that didn't already know (because I never told my mom, uncles, aunts, grandparents, just my siblings) And I cried. I instantly messaged a couple friends and they told me to do what I wanted. So when I went four sushi with my two best friends and a kid from my school that I trusted (we don't talk anymore) and told them not to let me back out of asking them something. So after we ate, they turned to me and I choked and almost started crying and I went "I...am thinking about." And froze for like 5 minutes. Then I just went for it, because they knew. "I want to come out on facebook" and they were all for it. So on February 15th (it was the 14th, but my friends phone was acting up and wouldn't POST the confession until after midnight) I came out to everyone. And I cried when the responses came in 100% positive.
Yeah, a lot of people don't thin it's this big deal, but even just asking my friends what they thought about me coming out OFFICIALLY on facebook made me want to cry, it's really hard and I want people to understand that. I want to hug everyone who is scared and needs help. I want to help
BambiWithLove Quite honestly I am bi and I am scared that people will judge me for who I am. I mean I tell my best friend that anything people say cannot hurt me, but I just told her that to make her think that I am okay when I'm really not. I was sad today and my other best friend asked me what was wrong and I said "Do you want the truth or what I tell everyone?" she said truth and now she is the only one who knows.
Carina Lane It's frightening. People have looked at me and kind of said "Hey, you say you're bi, well...you're confused, you either like guys or girls" people like to think that you can't feel a way for both sexes. I honestly don't care what is in your pants, I will love a person for who they are, and I don't really think that's bi, but it's easier to explain. Most people know, but when I brought it up at a dinner thing at my school, a girl stopped and looked at me like "What?!" And my friends turned around "She's bi, really, it's no big deal" and I explained to her that it's just how I am and quite honestly, if she's not okay with that, it's fine, but be honest and she's from a small town, but she just nodded and was like "Okay, yeah. Bi." and we talked about that and bullying. I'm rambling a bit, but really, take it at your own speed. Start by telling your friends, the ones you feel are really close to you and slowly, make take it to other friends, family members. My cousins were really supportive and my siblings as well. Actually, my big brother threw a playboy at me and said "You're bi, read it" haha. If people don't accept you for who you are, they are not that important. And even so, in time, they might change their minds. You can take a step and join a Gay Straight alliance group, those people WILL understand and they will be there for you. You know my youtube name, don't ever be afraid to talk to me about anything. I am everyones big sister. :)
BambiWithLove Thank you so much. But I've got another problem, I'm scared that I'm falling in love with my best friend and the friend that I am bi knows but she isn't the one I think I'm falling in love with. But my mom got me a journal to write my thoughts in, but now I need a place to hide it.
Thank you for being so honest and brave, Troye. You're an inspiration. But I have a bone to pick with the comments on this video. It's so disrespectful for everyone to be talking about ships or saying "aww too bad you're gay, you're so hot lol." Here someone is, pouring their heart out on camera and you have the audacity to degrade their lifelong plight by literally devaluing their identity? I can be a pretty hardcore shipper myself but this is not the time nor the place for it. And NEVER should someone feel entitled to the attraction of another person. It's sickening that anyone would wish someone was not themselves just so they could have a .00000000000000001% chance with them. Troye deserves more respect than everyone making a sport out of his sexuality.
if you are reading this; I want u to know that whether you are bi, gay, lesbian, trans, straight, etc you are who you are. and you are you. you are wonderful, and you are not weird; u are unique. don't let anybody tell you anybody!
+Reyanne Cadima my friends see me as "homophobic" but I'm not, when I was watching this he made me realize I am bisexual. I don't know how to come out but, I have a long note for Instagram with a picture and a long caption for when I do decide to come out.
Troye!! I have news! I watched this about 10 times, read every single positive comment, then I wrote a coming out letter to my parents. I am gonna be gone all this week, and I really needed to get it out. I just wanted to say thank you thank you thank you for helping me through this! I've been closeted for so long now, ad now I am out of there!! I'm still shaking as I write this, but again, thank you.
i'm not crying, my eyes are just sweating. i think i'm bisexual, but once my mother said that being bisexual was worse that paederst, and now i'm afarid to tell her.
Never be afraid. It may be tough, but never be afraid of being who you really are. You don’t have to tell her even, just make sure that she figures it out herself if you can’t confront her. Stay strong.
One thing that has always made me mad is the term, "gay marriage". I like to call it just marriage because I like to think of marriage as the creation of a stronger bond between the love for two people. It doesn't matter what gender, the two love each other and that's why they are getting married. Being gay doesn't change anything, so when people call it gay marriage I get mad.
I agree. There is no need to label people just because they don't love people of the opposite sex. It doesn't matter who you're getting married to you're just getting married which is why it bothers me so much that certain places ban same sex marriage. It is not affecting the lives of the other people in that certain place so I have no idea why it matters
the term "gay marriage" annoys me also...marriage is marriage whether it is between a girl and a boy or a boy and a boy...some people just cant accept that..
tyler oakley, troye sivan, connor franta, sam smith i feel like so many celebs these days are gay and it makes it easier 4 people to admit it online !! he seems so confident in this vid...
Doggos we don’t need a legacy, we don’t need money. If I could grant you peace of mind, if you could let me inside your heart. Oh, let me be a part of the narrative in the story they will write someday
If she loves you she'll let you do what you feel is right. If you want to be a boy then you do that :) don't let anyone tell you to be a girl if you don't want to be
you honestly can't blame parent's they were raised in a society back then when gay ppl were known as "disgusting" and trans aswell and they ingraved that mindset into them
It must be really hard, but at least now she knows and you don't have to hide it anymore. She will probably get used to it with time, and if she doesn't, you can always talk to people that does accepts you. Remember that you can be who you want to
I'm not a big fan of Troye but I respect him for at least having the guts to do this. It's a tough thing to do, even in modern society. You've just got to respect that he took the time to tell everyone this and then let everyone know how it affected his life. I recently came out as pansexual. To clarify, I'm not attracted to someone for their body. I'm attracted to someone for their personality. It was a pretty tough thing to announce. But the truth is even the people that hated me started to respect me and my friends didn't care - they said I was still the weird kid in the end. I felt lucky - some people started to hate me for my sexuality, but in the end they were a minority. I just feel like these days it's a lot easier to just not be pure-heterosexual, probably due to the growing acceptance of LGBT and other stuff. But props to Troye for doing this. Even if I'm not a big fan, I respect you more than anything for doing this.
Ill never not find this the most heartbreakingly beautiful thing. The compassion in Troye's voice and the strength behind the fright in his eyes is ridiculously empowering. It's devastating to know what negativity is expressed towards the gays when we are all one, all individuals, all different. I'm so proud of Troye and this video and his success because he is normal, like us all.
Troye. I know this is like 10000 years later (lol) but I am soooo proud of you and everyone else who has come out because you have the courage and the confidence to express your self. Keep slaying Troye, love you millions ❤️
I'm straight and there was a time that I questioned my sexuality and it was so terrifying. I'm just... Idk how this will sound, but I'm just so in love with how gay people can just be themselves and be happy and I literally accept gays so much that it hurts my heart. I'm thirteen, barely coming into myself, and I'm just so proud of all of you. That's probably weird but I feel that way.
dear troye, i've been subscribed to you for a while and I just wanted to let you know that you make me happy every time I watch your videos. So I wanted you to know that you gave me the courage to come out. without you I wouldn't have dared to come out. your loyal subscriber, pepin PS like so he can see
Very proud of you. Never be ashamed of yourself. Lots of people feel like they'll never be accepted but people who don't accept you aren't worth your time.
Same though I was 15. I came out to basically all of my friends over the 2-3 years following this video, and actually I came out to my parents at 16 almost exactly 1 year after this video came out. His coming out video is one of the most memorable one I've watched personally.
Well done Troye. I was in the military and when my boss found out I was told I had to tell everyone I worked with. His excuse was that "They need to know who they're working with". He then assembled them and stood behind me while I did it. This was about ten years after the law changed. People have to be able to do it on their own terms. Why aren't heterosexual people told they have to tell everyone. Anyway, well done Troye. With people like you now leading the way our young people can no longer be afraid.
Fire Sky Cam some people are sick. it's disgusts me how homosexuals are treated as less by so many people, as if sexuality defines everything about a whole person. so sorry you were put in that situation. thank you for sharing your story 😊💜💙💚💛
well for the heterosexual part. it’s kinda standard for someone to be straight. a major part of the population is. there’s a lot of lgbtq in the us but worldwide not to much. it’s standard for someone to be straight. when a baby’s born you don’t immediately think the baby’s gay, do you ?
I'm almost 71, and for me growing up in the '50's, '60's, and 70's it was such a different time and you had to be closeted otherwise you'd be persecuted, especially in the suburban life in Pontiac, Michigan. I found my freedom in 1978 when I moved to Los Angeles, and never looked back. Thank you, Troye, for your courage and doing this now when you're young. I lost 14 years of my young life being closeted. You are an inspiration to all those young people who aspire to live their remaining lives with freedom and acceptance. You are a force to be dealt with -- all of us are, and forget those naysayers. Let them go. Bless you! 😊. We need more celebrities to be brave like you and get on with our authentic lives!
Watched it a long time ago, come back today, and still feel grateful that Troye keeps his old videos so people of his age can find out something that can help them. I love Troye, and I love you guys in this comment section
He has the prettiest eyes.
S W He does!
He has the prettiest face*
Mau Yardin TRUEEEEE
Yeah, I was like looking at his eyes throughout the video.
yup. i know
You, sir, are a beautiful person.
This inspired me to come out, watch it here: COMING OUT as a 17 YEAR-OLD! x
beautiful person and beautiful eyes~
You're the girl on thundermans. You were my childhood.
"he looked at me like I was absolutely crazy." I cried.

+Dans notre monde same, this is the bit when I cried.
I told myself I wasnt gonna cry and I did.
i just finish the video and i felt like crying so when he said that i couldn't handle it and i broke down. (im still crying)
+Gennaro Rossi Mistakes? Your a really crappy person. Come on. The fact that there are gay people in the world doesn't effect you in the slightest. This is HUGE for Troye, even though this was 2 years ago. I hate when people like you are judgmental, and just disrespectful. Being gay makes some people happy. Its none of your business! This is Troyer's channel and he deserves respect and support. Not hate from rude, judgmental people like you. He is a great, successful person, back off.

Dear Troye,
even 10 years later, I wanna thank you again for being such a role model for all of us queer kids and adults during all these years. You have made us feel safe, understood, right. You have let us relate to your songs and made us realize that our shared experiences, both bad and good, are part of the whole community and you taught us how to celebrate our identities. You have helped me figuring out my sexuality, you showed me how to question my identity and be happy about what I would find.
You have inspired me all these years and I have always stayed by your side, as you had stayed by mine, ours.
Thank you, forever.
Alessandro

Are you joking? He became a depraved pervert. Sex-centered personality and lyrics, exposing nudity at every step and even displaying filthy behaviour publicly. He's a warning not a role model. He was still full of purity and ambition 10 years ago.
Awwww I am so happy for u❤
Why are people saying "WHY DO THE CUTE BOYS HAVE TO BE GAY" as if they actually had a shot with Troye lol
Lol so true
Ant Cult NOW ILL NEVER GET TO BE WITH TROYE, bitch, you never did, you're 12 lol
+Katie Smith i guess... A girl can dream XD
Oo..Burn...
Dear Porcupine Are you really calling me out on being "rude"? It's the internet I'll say it how i want.
I don't understand why people are against being Gay. I think people can be free to love whoever they want.
thank you snape
I agree. Gay is not a bad thing. U love the people u love. It doesn't have to boy girl. It can be boy boy or girl girl
most religious leaders are coming around to the concept that being gay isn't a sin....but, acting on it (living the gay lifestyle) is not acceptable, per Biblical teaching. some religious groups are going beyond that to acceptance of the life style. like Dr. Phil says...being gay is hard wired [in the brain]. and you may not like Dr. Phil, but he has an entire professional group of experts consulting with him, so his stand on this topic is not just his own whim.
mohammad mian As a human being I think that you are a hateful idiot, regardless of whether it is something others taught you to be, or you actually came up with it all by yourself.
peerkbh I agree
#HereFromBloom This is actually so weird to watch in 2018. Seeing him so comfortable nowadays to do explicit music video's with men; you kinda forget that just 5 years ago he was terrified to come out. I didn't become die-hard until this year so I guess I just always assumed he was comfortable with himself.
He's grown so much as a person, it's so weird for me to go back to these videos as well, even though I saw them ages ago when they were first released. I'm honestly so proud of how far he's come. His new album is absolutely amazing, and you can really see what a talented young man he's grown into.

Hey Honey you are not the only one. When I come out of the closet I start to see Troye Sivan and tge reason that I come out is when I saw Love Simon
+neuropluro
I know right, it's so heartwarming to see him grow so much in so little time! 💜💜
+Ozzy B.M
Yeah, and he made a song for that film, I swear in the span of 5 years the confidence level on troye went from 0 - 10,000!
Yeah, I thought the same, and it's really good that he has accepted himself and akhdkahd.
Yes I’m here in 2020. No it wasn’t in my recommended. Yes I looked this up on my own free will.

I watched Spud again
And i heard that Troy was gay
But im fine with it i still love him 😎🤩😍💓💓
Leandri Van der Walt oh. I’ve been a fan for years I just meant that I came back for the nostalgia. He’s been openly gay for a long time and talks ab men in his songs so I’m kinda wondering how u didn’t know?? Lol. Also that last part sounds a bit back handed. “He’s gay but I still love him” okay but that shouldn’t make a difference?? why wouldn’t you???
@@eligayle7452 i think your thinking wrong of what im saying 😱😢
Good luck, Troye. It took me 63 years to do the same. I am now free to be the person I was always meant to be and so I'm happier than I have ever been. I think that might also have something to do with the fact that I now have a lifelong partner.
Bill Grimke-Drayton awww
Eden Chang i think he knows that, and it's totally ok smh...
Great! I know that 63 years ago was not a good time for people like us and I really glad that you worked up the courage to be yourself with your partner happily. I’m only 12 but I feel that can really make a difference
Bill Grimke-Drayton awwwww yay ♥️🏳️🌈
This is so cUTE
I'd like to share my straight ally story. I'm a 46 year old straight, Atheist male. I was raised Christian, and told that though MANY of the verses of the Bible are either Old Testament verses negated by the New Testament, or metaphors. I was taught that the Bible's verses against homosexuality were definitely literal, that being gay was a sin, and that gay people were degenerates. I was pretty brainwashed into the whole thing, so I went along with it, and hated who I was told to hate. Then I went to a job interview.
I had answered an ad in the paper looking for employees for the town's waterslide park. I was 18, which made me just barely eligible. I thought I'd finally meet pretty girls, get a good tan, and maybe lose my virginity. I went to the interview, and was asked a series of questions about how I got along with others, how well I could swim, what my work ethic was like, etc. Then the interviewer stopped me cold with a question that seemed to have no place in a job interview. He said "Do you have a girlfriend?" I said "No.". He said "Do you like girls?". I asked "Why do you need to know that?" He said "We don't hire homosexuals."
What he said should have made perfect sense to me, given my beliefs up to that point. Of course a waterslide park wouldn't want to hire homosexuals. Who would? I mean you'd have boys who like boys around a bunch of kids, and that would be completely inappropriate, right? So why did I suddenly feel so bad? I must have sat there for a minute, unable to speak. The man said "I don't think you're right for the job. Thanks for coming, and good luck finding a summer job." I walked out, and completely re-examined my life. Someone had guessed I was gay, and had discriminated against me. Empathy replaced all the lessons, all the conditioning, and all the threats. I lost my faith that day, and I've been an ally and advocate for equal rights ever since.
People say that "Love is all you need". But that's not right. People who discriminate love their partners, their kids, their friends and their country. I don't think love really is what we need. We need empathy. Empathy saved me, and now there's no limit to who I can love.
Tardis Lover Thanks. I think you're the only person who read my comment.
I'm a Catholic Girl and I love all people of all race,religion, and people who loves any one. Meaning being bisexual, lesbians, homosexual, etc. My history teacher in her class she feels that she doesn't care what or who you are she will treat you as you want to be. One of the rules in her classroom is "NO ETHNIC, RACIST, HOMOSEXUAL, ETC REMARKS ARE MAD IN THIS CLASSROOM"
Cam Lucas In order to be a Christian AND love everyone, you have to ignore parts of the Bible. You can also love everyone if you ignore the whole Bible.
Docktor Jim no you don't, you haven't educated yourself very well in the Bible. and yes if you ignore the whole Bible, you can love everyone. but you also have no sense of morality and truth, because if everyone's truth is whatever is truth in their own eyes, then wouldn't truth be different for everyone? in which case truth is no longer truth, is it is lies in the eyes of someone else and there is no real sense of right and wrong. then what are you living for? a few useless happy days that will end in nothingness and your inevitable obliteration?
sunwillalwaysrise Here's some biblical morality and truth: "If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." Leviticus 20:13
Fuck that. Fuck your threat of hell. Fuck your ignorance.

I cried as I watched this.
Why?
Felicity Flores Because I'm sexually confused, and this held so much emotion for me. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for him to come out to us, his parents, and his friends.
i cried too although I'm straight but imagining the struggles that he went through and the way he was terrified to show the world who he actually was is depressing. now that he's finally come out, his life will be a hell of alot easier, he looks satisfied to let go of the truth :) i still love him, troy all the way!!!
+Natalie Ruiz Same 😭❤️
+Its Trish Here Hey umm I saw you on the spud comments lol...... I have a feeling you wanted to watch t again to lol???

I recently came out to all of my friends and all of them accepted the fact that I'm gay. They told me that they love me for who I am without judging my sexual orientation. Seriously...I've never been so happy in my life I'm almost 21 and kept this "secret" for more than six years. I had thoughts of suicide and felt inwardly disintegrated.
My family is pretty bound to traditions because we're Jewish, so this is gonna be a hard nut to crack...I've never been this scared and I fear rejection from my mom. My aunt and uncle know and they accept me and told me that being gay won't change our relationship. Both said they'll always love me because we're a family.
You inspire me a lot and I will tell her, because I don't want to suffer from this anymore and I'm not ashamed for who I am! Thank you, Troye and good luck to all the other beautiful people, who want to come out of the closet. It gets better!
I wish you good luck for coming out to your family! :)
this is touching. good luck to you, and a happy life!
Good luck. I hope your mom is understanding and that your life carries on normally once you've told her :)
Thank you so much, guys. Unfortunately, she found out. She was shocked and couldn't handle it. While I was at my aunt's place, she spent two days with crying and was devastated and ignored me. Then we talked the whole night and now she tries to live with it. She was so accepting after two days...it's absolutely incredible. She said no matter who you love, I will always support you and you can talk to me about everything. She's the best.
I'm glad thinks worked out for you :) I'm really happy for you
am i the only one watching this again after Connor's?
YES
Me too:)
Omg! Me too!
Nope! Me too
Me too!
Even though this was made about 7 years it's still so relevant - I love how he talks about the importance of other coming out videos because his video is helping so many other people too. Thank you for being an inspiration for others :)
Well I’m gay and I told my friends and they now don’t speak to me and hated me.. so I’m here crying to this video because he’s cute and brave and ahhh
Hey you'll find your people it make take time but you'll find your people. It can be very hard to lose friends.
I will be your friend. All those other people were fucken jerks and weren't real friends..
Hahahahahahahahhaha rat
If they dont like you for who you are, theyre all fake. don't give a crap abt them. I'd be your friend if we were from the same school.
i had the same situation when i came out and i apologize for that man. i'll be your friend, my instagram is @clloudyydays if you ever want to message 💞
I am a 60 year old gay man. This was the video I watched the first time I saw you about a year ago. I think you are great. I can't wait to see the movie "Boy Erased". I think your music is beautiful. I have listened to a lot of it. I think you are an inspiration to a lot of people. You may not realize it, but people like you even help older people like me.

Aww that’s beautiful 💓

Awh that’s so amazing :,)
I'm a 13 year old boy
I go to a boys school
I'm NOT gay
I act what they call "feminine" and I act a bit dramatic
everyone who I've met has once asked me: are you gay or are you a girl.
they tease me about my personality
I jus want it to stop, I want them to except me for who I am
plz stand up for yourself, don't be like me and let it keep happening
Akash Moana-Singh be proud of yourself❤ I'm a thirteen year old girl and people think I'm lesbian because I have a fairly deep voice and have only had one boyfriend in my life. I just laugh it all off and say, "Just because every single boy in my grade is either a prick or 'too good' doesn't mean I'm lesbian. I'm young, I don't really want a boyfriend so I can focus on becoming a successful young woman. I will date when I please, thank you very much." Leaves em baffles every time. Keep your head high and be your sassy self! Fuck everyone else.
you go girl
Rebecca Pitt thanks☺️

Akash Moana-Singh This is a coming out video, not an anti bullying video. And why is the NOT on capslock? Is it that bad to be gay? Seriously get out.
I came out on 2023 at the age of 44. My only regret is why I didn't do it earlier.
Today I am myself and feel lucky to share my life with a wonderful man.
Thanks for your video Troye. Watched you on primavera sound Barcelona 2024, awesome performance!
I'm a 56 year old midwestern mama and just saw you on The View today. I immediately went to my computer to watch this video. What a beautiful human you are Troye.
If everyone could be as loving and accepting as your family and friends, what a wonderful world it would be.
Last night troye held a pride flag on stage and I sobbed because he has come so far. Thanks to troye I am happy with myself and out completely

You are so brave, and your Dad is amazing. I wish all families could be so accepting. It shows that the world is changing. I love this.
A couple months ago at his show in Houston, right before he sang heaven, Troye went on about lgbtq rights, thanking us for supporting his sexuality, and other things like "it will get better" and encouraging closeted people to not be afraid of who they are. I almost started crying, he's come so far. What I would do to meet Troye and tell him my story...
THIS is the first video of Troye's that I've watched and he is like the CUTEST thing EVER

Currently binge listening the new album and youtube recommended this for me so I clicked on it. Apparently I already liked the video years ago and it’s adorable. 10 years fly by quickly and I’m glad he’s grown into an amazing man and he’s enjoying life. He gave me so much and still does with his music. This feels beautifully nostalgic

2K thumbs down? Wtf is wrong with this world? It doesn't matter if you're straight, gay, bi, black, white, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc. Everyone should be accepted for who they are and it makes me sick that some people still won't just accept that every person is different and they're allowed to be different and that's okay.
so true
2.5k thumbs down but 300k thumbs up, there will always be ignorant fools in this world but as long as the majority understand then it's okay to have a few idiots.
MrMousiee Yes it is ok for people to be gay, but it is also ok for people to be disgusted by gays... I have no problem with it but some people do, and there is nothing wrong with that either!!!
No it is not ok to hate gay people cos people are the way they r who they rand u are a a big fat bully if u hate gay people cos seriously guys why do you hate them
Katia Fenton I never said i hated them... but for some people its "gross" and its their opinion that they dont like them, because thats not the way life is supposed to be.
I came out as bi on Sunday to my best friend. So terrifying but thank you Troye for helping me
well done!
When you come out, the wait of the world is officially off your shoulders. I came out as bi at 18.

You know what annoys me about coming out videos? They shouldn't have to exist. Society determines that someone has to go through making a video, or "coming out" to everyone. Why can't we just automatically accept someone without making them go through this struggle and stress of coming out!?
I think anyone who has the guts to film a video like this, is more of a man than I'll ever be! I hope you're very, very happy!
oneeyedpete so true
Sadly there is still so, so much hatred and bigotry in the world. That hatred against Gay people is still being taught by parents and by many Churches to the kids. Religious based hatred and social ignorance keeps getting taught and passed on down to each new generation of kids. Hatred and Bigotry is like a Cancer in society and it harms innocent loving people. God created love for all of his children to have in life. God designed and created all people including those that are LGBT+
Now if God did not like Gay people or LGBT people then God being all powerful could just make everyone be born as Heterosexuals. He would have done that centuries ago if he did not like Gay people.
After I struggled with my sexuality after years and years, I came to the conclusion that my sexuality is

Watching this 11 years ago when I was a wee little closeted lad was so so so helpful, I can not state how much it helped me come to terms with myself and who I am, to finally be free and realize living oppressed was more hurting than facing it. After growing pains, with my family, things are good, life is good. Not the best, but good, and I love it. Thank you!
I'm Christian and I don't see why people discriminate against gays so much. But it's more so the adults. I mean, i think we are more understanding as youth that people should be allowed to be themselves without judgement than adults. Adults are probably the reason we are so understanding. I mean they make it seem as if being gay is this whole 'thing' like it's complicated, but no. It's a different way of love and no one should ever deny love.
That's exactly how I feel! Also I'm Christian too and I think that it's okay to love whomever you want. :)
thank u they aren't different their still people they still have feelings
people shouldn't be ashamed of who they r so u dumb people who discriminate should just stop cause their no different
ikr :)
Thank you. We need more people like you in the world.
Oh my goodness. And I thought I was the only one that felt this way.Thank you all for being such kind people.
Troye. I am 12 1/2 and bisexual. I came out to my best friends. Some of my motivation was from MilesChronicles. So when I got home I wanted to find a song that made me feel better. You and Hayley Kiyoko were the first things I listened to and for the first time in a long time I feel like myself. Thank you🙏🏾
Update: came out to my mom. It felt good
Nikki Clark thank you❤ good luck on your journey
Emo Wizz lmfao you were 12 1/2 and already fucked up in the head
Nobody asked for you to be here.
fluffyik my bad, who asked you to be here?
fluffyik dumbass 😂
I'm 14 and have been in catholic education my whole life and grown up in a catholic family not once have a been told that being gay is wrong or bad, all the Catholics I know (along with me) support being gay. so please don't steep type Catholics/Christians as homophobics.
in fact my principal at my (catholic) high school is gay
Until they show any signs of being homophobes, I don't have anything against them.
OMG THANK YOU I WISH PEOPLE KNEW THIS
***** actually, discrimination against gays was in the Old Testaments. From what I know, when Jesus sacrificed himself at the cross, the New Testaments were written, which stated nothing against gays at all. ((I do not follow the Christian religion wo wome of my information may be off, but gays are technically "allowed" now.)) God wouldn't make people gay, just to bash them. And anyways, it's not a choice. You're born the sexuality you are. So, farewell.
Yeeeess... Well said girl!! :)
I'm so happy to hear young guys come out at an early age. I'm 54 and came out only a few years ago. Been married to a gal for 28 years because I was told by a christian counselor that if I got married and had kids I wouldn't like guys anymore and being an impressionable young man I bought it. Even went through 8 years of conversion therapy. You CANNOT change who you are. So if you're a young man or gal watching this and haven't come out yet. DO IT!!! It'll be a lot easier to accept yourself now than later.
if you are still on youtube. please reply to this. i was forced to marry a woman and i'm 21. it never changes, right? i'm asking as a young person who is intensely struggling. there was a point where i got rid of my gay friends in hope to ''become straight'' and fulfill my life with her. there was a point i felt things for her, ( i am bi but mainly gay) but it didn't last too long. i
@anakinskywalker2002 I'm so sorry that you were forced to marry. It is true that we cannot change who we are. I'm sorry for your struggle but the sooner you accept yourself for who you are the better off you'll be. BE YOURSELF. Follow your heart. Do you have any support? I would get your gay friends back if you can. I take it your family isn't supportive?
@@Roberto72566 it really sucks. I have my gay friends back now, and some straight friends who support me. I live in London in the UK so by law I’m protected, but I’ve just lost the will to live because of everything, I’m trying so hard to accept myself. And this marriage doesn’t help, I can’t divorce her because I do then apparently the entire family will shatter. Her family and mine, I am responsible for her feelings, her families feelings, and my own family’s reputation. It’s so hard 😔
@anakinskywalker2002 That's a tough position to be in. But someone has you believing that you're responsible for all that. You're only responsible for yourself. They're responsible for their own actions not you. They chose to be happy or not. You're not responsible for their choices. If there is any way out take it. And you just might need to go your own way. You deserve to be happy. And if you're not happy then you're choosing that. I know it can be tough in the moment but you can get past this. I know it may be hard and you might need your friends to lean on. I hope they'll be a good support for you.
I’m so glad you’re out now!!!! And I’m so fkn sorry you had to go through the horrors of Christian counselors and conversion therapy aaggghhhh I hope you’re doing okay now!
Giiiiiirrrlllssss looooovve giiiiiirrrlllsss aaaaaannnnnddd boooooyyyss

okay i saw this video for the first time more than a year and half ago and i found it very touching. now, i'm watching this video for the 100th time as a different person and the only thing that i can say is that i'm proud of you in every single way possible. you're my role model and you never fail to make me proud, this video is just a proof of the fact that you're a really genuine and amazing person; i cried watching this video (again) and i don't even know why, i love you.
pisquello
mara sivan The part that gets me is when he felt the need to ask his dad if he still loved him and the reaction he had.
I never really knew growing up. I was 16 when my cousin and I started talking about the possibilities, I always had a girl crush, but I never really thought about it. But after that, it kind of occurred to me that I might not JUST like guys. I started labeling myself as bisexual, because that's how I felt. After that, my life really changed, I came out to my family and friends about being sexually abused for 10 years and sent a lot of the time going through court. But in between, I opened up to my friends and told them, "Guys, I need you to know, I am bi." And they were okay with that.
After that, any friend I made, it was the first thing I told them, because I didn't want them to look at me when they found out.
My facebook always had "Interested in: Men and Woman" but no one really knew. It never clicked in their heads. On February 8th of this year at 3 in the morning, I decided that I wanted to come out on facebook, it was time my family found out and any friends that didn't already know (because I never told my mom, uncles, aunts, grandparents, just my siblings) And I cried. I instantly messaged a couple friends and they told me to do what I wanted. So when I went four sushi with my two best friends and a kid from my school that I trusted (we don't talk anymore) and told them not to let me back out of asking them something. So after we ate, they turned to me and I choked and almost started crying and I went "I...am thinking about." And froze for like 5 minutes. Then I just went for it, because they knew. "I want to come out on facebook" and they were all for it.
So on February 15th (it was the 14th, but my friends phone was acting up and wouldn't POST the confession until after midnight) I came out to everyone. And I cried when the responses came in 100% positive.
That was beautiful, it really takes courage to do something like that. God bless (:
Yeah, a lot of people don't thin it's this big deal, but even just asking my friends what they thought about me coming out OFFICIALLY on facebook made me want to cry, it's really hard and I want people to understand that. I want to hug everyone who is scared and needs help. I want to help
BambiWithLove Quite honestly I am bi and I am scared that people will judge me for who I am. I mean I tell my best friend that anything people say cannot hurt me, but I just told her that to make her think that I am okay when I'm really not. I was sad today and my other best friend asked me what was wrong and I said "Do you want the truth or what I tell everyone?" she said truth and now she is the only one who knows.
Carina Lane It's frightening. People have looked at me and kind of said "Hey, you say you're bi, well...you're confused, you either like guys or girls" people like to think that you can't feel a way for both sexes. I honestly don't care what is in your pants, I will love a person for who they are, and I don't really think that's bi, but it's easier to explain.
Most people know, but when I brought it up at a dinner thing at my school, a girl stopped and looked at me like "What?!" And my friends turned around "She's bi, really, it's no big deal" and I explained to her that it's just how I am and quite honestly, if she's not okay with that, it's fine, but be honest and she's from a small town, but she just nodded and was like "Okay, yeah. Bi." and we talked about that and bullying.
I'm rambling a bit, but really, take it at your own speed. Start by telling your friends, the ones you feel are really close to you and slowly, make take it to other friends, family members. My cousins were really supportive and my siblings as well. Actually, my big brother threw a playboy at me and said "You're bi, read it" haha.
If people don't accept you for who you are, they are not that important. And even so, in time, they might change their minds. You can take a step and join a Gay Straight alliance group, those people WILL understand and they will be there for you.
You know my youtube name, don't ever be afraid to talk to me about anything. I am everyones big sister. :)
BambiWithLove Thank you so much. But I've got another problem, I'm scared that I'm falling in love with my best friend and the friend that I am bi knows but she isn't the one I think I'm falling in love with. But my mom got me a journal to write my thoughts in, but now I need a place to hide it.
It makes me so sad that people dislike these videos...
Screw those homophobs/Troye haters😡
I think a lot might be girls who were in love…
Not anymore lol
Thank you for being so honest and brave, Troye. You're an inspiration.
But I have a bone to pick with the comments on this video. It's so disrespectful for everyone to be talking about ships or saying "aww too bad you're gay, you're so hot lol." Here someone is, pouring their heart out on camera and you have the audacity to degrade their lifelong plight by literally devaluing their identity? I can be a pretty hardcore shipper myself but this is not the time nor the place for it. And NEVER should someone feel entitled to the attraction of another person. It's sickening that anyone would wish someone was not themselves just so they could have a .00000000000000001% chance with them. Troye deserves more respect than everyone making a sport out of his sexuality.
lol k
I fell the same way
***** I just get really frustrated when people say shit like that. It's so immature and disrespectful. Troye is amazing just the way he is.
what you said was completely true

+Reyanne Cadima my friends see me as "homophobic" but I'm not, when I was watching this he made me realize I am bisexual. I don't know how to come out but, I have a long note for Instagram with a picture and a long caption for when I do decide to come out.
Beautifully said!!!!👏👌
Your amazing 🙌🏻💕💕
Troye as a 13 girl who is terrified to come out to my friends I think you are so brave for doing this so many years ago this video is amazing
Troye!! I have news! I watched this about 10 times, read every single positive comment, then I wrote a coming out letter to my parents. I am gonna be gone all this week, and I really needed to get it out. I just wanted to say thank you thank you thank you for helping me through this! I've been closeted for so long now, ad now I am out of there!! I'm still shaking as I write this, but again, thank you.
I'm so happy for you!!
Well done! So happy for you☺️
Congratulations on being brave and telling your family. I'm really happy for you

Nope I did the exact same
im here cus of Connor too
Same
Nope I did that. Toi
I did lol
Your dad is the most amazing dad any person could hope to have.
i'm not crying, my eyes are just sweating.
i think i'm bisexual, but once my mother said that being bisexual was worse that paederst, and now i'm afarid to tell her.
Bad mom
Mercè Domènech Ballester you don't have to tell her If she won't accept you she doesn't deserve to know
Never be afraid. It may be tough, but never be afraid of being who you really are. You don’t have to tell her even, just make sure that she figures it out herself if you can’t confront her. Stay strong.
One thing that has always made me mad is the term, "gay marriage". I like to call it just marriage because I like to think of marriage as the creation of a stronger bond between the love for two people. It doesn't matter what gender, the two love each other and that's why they are getting married. Being gay doesn't change anything, so when people call it gay marriage I get mad.
I agree. There is no need to label people just because they don't love people of the opposite sex. It doesn't matter who you're getting married to you're just getting married which is why it bothers me so much that certain places ban same sex marriage. It is not affecting the lives of the other people in that certain place so I have no idea why it matters
the term "gay marriage" annoys me also...marriage is marriage whether it is between a girl and a boy or a boy and a boy...some people just cant accept that..
Shweta Aj You're right. I have two uncles that are getting married soon. Their engaged now and I'm so happy for them.
I hope you uncles are happy and they live a long happy life together!
Mary Nelson m also happy fr dem.. (:
I love your music. I don't care if you are black, white , blue , Chinese, gay or straight . If someone spread love, happiness thats should matter .
Blue, haha. :D
+RIKARDOMACHIO i m brownish asian gay heheeheheheh
i'm so happy you also support aliens
blue😂
#bluewins
Who still watching in 2020?
웬비비 me
Meeeee
me
Meh
Me😂
tyler oakley, troye sivan, connor franta, sam smith i feel like so many celebs these days are gay and it makes it easier 4 people to admit it online
!! he seems so confident in this vid...
Yeah. All of the fangirls are so sad when a RUclipsr comes out as gay. XD
And then there are always a bunch of idiots running around saying, "I KNEW HE WAS GAY" even though they didn't.
Lillian Tsai there is the type of fangirl that falls in love with them even more...
silvia heffetz exactly the same reaction
Georgia Mai he's bisexual
Look at where you are
Look at where you started
siobhan murray the fact that you're alive is a miracle, to stay alive that would be enough
I love you
I love hamilton, its everywhere you go :)
Doggos we don’t need a legacy, we don’t need money. If I could grant you peace of mind, if you could let me inside your heart. Oh, let me be a part of the narrative in the story they will write someday
When your watching this in 2017 but still thinks troye is a little bean to pure for this world
Marching to the Sea this is me right now😄 and it's even 2018🤗💓
Marching to the Sea 2018 lol
I love how this was suggested for me 10 yrs later. I only heard of him once he made a song with Ariana Grande. Awesome to see him like this
I came out as trans to my mum, it didn't go too well. I wrote her a letter and ever since she's been telling me to remember I'm a girl...
If she loves you she'll let you do what you feel is right. If you want to be a boy then you do that :) don't let anyone tell you to be a girl if you don't want to be
boy, you are amazing. no matter whatever your mom says, you are amazing.
Well on behalf of a lot of people, I'd like to tell you to remember that you're trans, and that it's nothing to be ashamed of.
you honestly can't blame parent's they were raised in a society back then when gay ppl were known as "disgusting" and trans aswell and they ingraved that mindset into them
It must be really hard, but at least now she knows and you don't have to hide it anymore. She will probably get used to it with time, and if she doesn't, you can always talk to people that does accepts you. Remember that you can be who you want to
I'm not a big fan of Troye but I respect him for at least having the guts to do this. It's a tough thing to do, even in modern society. You've just got to respect that he took the time to tell everyone this and then let everyone know how it affected his life.
I recently came out as pansexual. To clarify, I'm not attracted to someone for their body. I'm attracted to someone for their personality. It was a pretty tough thing to announce. But the truth is even the people that hated me started to respect me and my friends didn't care - they said I was still the weird kid in the end. I felt lucky - some people started to hate me for my sexuality, but in the end they were a minority. I just feel like these days it's a lot easier to just not be pure-heterosexual, probably due to the growing acceptance of LGBT and other stuff.
But props to Troye for doing this. Even if I'm not a big fan, I respect you more than anything for doing this.
I find that offensive.
Wendy Cohen Don't worry about it, everyone says stuff they regret from time to time and I don't really take jokes well, so I'm also to blame for it.
What is pan sexual
Josh Hadwiger pansexual means you're into anything. Like if someones sex was female and their gender was male.
now it's four years later, and look how far he's come.
I know it’s nearly 7 years later, but this video has helped me so so much. So thank you so much for making it. I love you, thank you xx
Ill never not find this the most heartbreakingly beautiful thing. The compassion in Troye's voice and the strength behind the fright in his eyes is ridiculously empowering. It's devastating to know what negativity is expressed towards the gays when we are all one, all individuals, all different. I'm so proud of Troye and this video and his success because he is normal, like us all.
Troye. I know this is like 10000 years later (lol) but I am soooo proud of you and everyone else who has come out because you have the courage and the confidence to express your self. Keep slaying Troye, love you millions ❤️
+Troye Sivan
I feel exactly the same, he's so confident and I'm extremely proud of him!
I just started watching troye a few days ago, and honestly his voice is so calming when he talks
omg I sound like a creep
I swear i’m not
haha every time I watch him it makes me happier
i listen to his music to sleep.
Same! I listen to interviews while doing homework because it relaxes me.
IKR his voice is very calming
its 2023 and i keep crying watching this video because i remember how much it helped me. thank you troye
I'm straight and there was a time that I questioned my sexuality and it was so terrifying. I'm just... Idk how this will sound, but I'm just so in love with how gay people can just be themselves and be happy and I literally accept gays so much that it hurts my heart. I'm thirteen, barely coming into myself, and I'm just so proud of all of you. That's probably weird but I feel that way.
Same I'm straight but I have questioned my sexuality before but I fully support gay rights
Love McValentine yup same. 10 and straight. maybe. I question everyday i feel theres something weird with me.
Love McValentine I relate♥️♥️
I came out to my parents by using a Harry Potter pun....
What pun
"If Harry Potter has taught me anything, its not to spend my entire life in the closet." And then yeah
Awesome!^^
Respect
+Kaylee Casteel Yes bitch
dear troye,
i've been subscribed to you for a while and I just wanted to let you know that you make me happy every time I watch your videos. So I wanted you to know that you gave me the courage to come out. without you I wouldn't have dared to come out.
your loyal subscriber, pepin
PS like so he can see
whos here in 2020 watching troye🥺
Me💙
Social distancing hahaha
me😂😂💖💖
me
Meeeeee love him so much🥺
Very proud of you. Never be ashamed of yourself. Lots of people feel like they'll never be accepted but people who don't accept you aren't worth your time.
Most nervous I've ever bean
i love you
bean
I love you
"bean" 😂
+Never upload you could say he was the nervousest person 🙃
I'm straight but I support lgbtq so much, there just normal people who love who they want to love and nobody can change that
21 dunshines exactly
Sameeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
Thank you x it's people like you who make us lgbt people feel safer 🤗
yea... white nationalists just love their people too... and no amount of interracial media mongering can change that
I'm a Monarchist but I support the Anglo Saxon race so much, there just normal people who love Oswald Mosley and nobody can change that.
Wow - now 10 years later.
I was that fourteen-year-old boy watching this.
This is one of the most memorable videos of my life.
Thank you Troye :)
Same though I was 15. I came out to basically all of my friends over the 2-3 years following this video, and actually I came out to my parents at 16 almost exactly 1 year after this video came out. His coming out video is one of the most memorable one I've watched personally.
@@aurelienlux Cool to hear :) Crazy how a video like this can change so much for so many people!
Don't understand how someone could dislike this
Well done Troye.
I was in the military and when my boss found out I was told I had to tell everyone I worked with. His excuse was that "They need to know who they're working with". He then assembled them and stood behind me while I did it. This was about ten years after the law changed. People have to be able to do it on their own terms.
Why aren't heterosexual people told they have to tell everyone.
Anyway, well done Troye. With people like you now leading the way our young people can no longer be afraid.
Fire Sky Cam some people are sick. it's disgusts me how homosexuals are treated as less by so many people, as if sexuality defines everything about a whole person. so sorry you were put in that situation. thank you for sharing your story 😊💜💙💚💛
Thank you BREEZYISBAE.
Thank you jimmies lost jams.
This is so sad, nobody deserves this.
well for the heterosexual part. it’s kinda standard for someone to be straight. a major part of the population is. there’s a lot of lgbtq in the us but worldwide not to much. it’s standard for someone to be straight. when a baby’s born you don’t immediately think the baby’s gay, do you ?
I'm so glad RUclips didn't block this video
Dead inside l-/ why would they?
They can’t handle the fabulousness that emits from us gays
Dead inside l-/ ikr
Dead inside l-/ relieved! This video NEEDS to stay up on YT to inspire people.
why in the shit would they block this
I'm almost 71, and for me growing up in the '50's, '60's, and 70's it was such a different time and you had to be closeted otherwise you'd be persecuted, especially in the suburban life in Pontiac, Michigan. I found my freedom in 1978 when I moved to Los Angeles, and never looked back. Thank you, Troye, for your courage and doing this now when you're young. I lost 14 years of my young life being closeted. You are an inspiration to all those young people who aspire to live their remaining lives with freedom and acceptance. You are a force to be dealt with -- all of us are, and forget those naysayers. Let them go. Bless you! 😊. We need more celebrities to be brave like you and get on with our authentic lives!
Can Troye and Connor please just like get together because they would be so cute
No Troyler needs to get together. Cutest couple ever
***** lol
***** you readin my mind girlfriend....
To be honest since I ship Troyler and Tronnor I was thinking of 3-way relationship....can someone tell me I'm not the only one?
Eman Yonis no your not the only one that would be cute lol
This means a lot to all of your fans, personally I have not seen any video of yours, but I think I may subscribe now. :) Thanks for being out there!
So who revisited this video again after the coming out part 2 ?
me 😂😂
🙋
Me🙌
Me👋
🙋🙋
Watched it a long time ago, come back today, and still feel grateful that Troye keeps his old videos so people of his age can find out something that can help them. I love Troye, and I love you guys in this comment section
