    When the strong crushes that you have are almost all for guys, and you're guy, that's a pretty strong sign. Coming out as bisexual first before finally coming out as gay does seem to fit a pattern. 'Tis great that your best friends were all so supportive of you. As for your twin brother, I hope that you were able to work things out in time. He is still your brother. All of your advice here is good for other young people who are thinking of coming out, and I hope that those who watch this will take it to heart. Your video is going on my "Coming Out As Gay" RUclips Playlist.

    @equilibryan 12 лет назад +3

    I'm sorry about your twin doing what he did. I completely understand. My friend (female) at the time told my very best guy friend that I was gay. It devastated my world, I thought I was gonna "be straight" until high school and then tell my secret to the universe, that I would never tell any of my guy friends. In the end it was good that she told him because eventually I came to tell him myself. But that breach of trust hurts...A LOT...thanks for the vid!

I'm older and I wish that, when I was your age, I could have known there was so many people going thru the same thing. When Internet started we had IRC that's where I started to find friends that understood me. Internet is truly a great thing cause people like you, who I will never meet, inspire me and helps me be good with my own self and help me accept and be proud of who I am. I think I will make a video to soon, you really inspire me. Thanks kid I wish I could shake your hand!

    When he told his close friends he's gay, they hugged him and some even cried. When his twin brother found out, he went through the school telling everyone. I really can't imagine how I would ever reveal something so personal about my own brother. So where is Boarderboy 165 now? This was a very good coming out video.

    Congratulations on coming-out to yourself and some of your friends! You seem like a smart, articulate, sensitive person, and by achieving self-acceptance at such a young age, you will have many happy years ahead of you! Since RUclips is such a popular website now, I recommend sitting down to talk with your parents ASAP. They might be hurt to know you were willing to share such personal things with strangers before you were comfortable talking to them. Good luck!

    Hey Bro,
    What your doing to help others is great man. Everyone in your life should be proud of the person you are because you seem to be a caring and generous dude. I hope you and your brother can work things out because family is everything. I will not bash him for his mistakes but I would like to say that even though your twins, he may be asthetically georgeous (if you are identical),but, he will never be as beautiful as you are because that comes from within. Much respect bro.

    Thanks for sharing - good ideas on navigating the coming out process ... who to tell when if at all. Went through similar process starting 45 years ago, and it still continues. Luckily friends and family have been almost totally supportive - usually I didn't tell anyone until they knew me well so they could evaluate me on more than just "gay." :-)

    @mahatmadick 12 лет назад

    I am sure that by now you have began your journey of self-discovery. Try not to lose yourself in the search. You are truly a precious soul and a remarkable young man. Your sexuality will always remain your own artwork, and you will find that the canvas will change with time. Don't limit yourself to preconceptions. Enjoy life and touch everyone. Let others learn to love and admire you first. Love will return from every avenue, and true love usually appears from the most unexpected sources.

I am gay and just know that you can have all the same things as if you were straight, a partner/ husband, children someday if you want them, a successful career, close friends and a happy and fulfilled life as a gay man! Sometimes we face challenges as gay men, but the road to full equality is happening and you're lucky to be young, gay and proud in 2013 with your whole life ahead of you! Rock on! :)

    A lot of times, if one twin is gay, so is the other ... maybe the reason your bro spread the news ... to create a smoke screen for himself, or just to see people's reactions to you, before he decides to come out too. God bless you for your bravery, and altruism.

    I was straight until I was 13, then started liking guys too. I came out to my group as bi (9 straight guys) and 3 female friends less than a year ago. Now I have moved away to uni (college) and am yet to come out here. I like for people to get to know me for who I am personality wise not who I am attracted to. I have mainly been attracted to guys lately but I fly around the Kinsley scale.

As you know there are lots of different personalities some more grounded than others - your advice would add a lot and that is why you made the vid so make some more -you are comfortable on camera and make good sense keep it up there are lots of guys that need your input thx
