Black , Jewish, gay and Gorgeous
Yes David!!!
What hate? I said he is Gorgeous.. that means beautiful
David Altieri damn gorgeous!
Who cares if your gay as long as your happy doing it that's what matters
YES
He looks like He and Meghan Markle can be related ......Muy Guapo
Graham Herbert . You met her personally?
He really does
What a sweet, beautiful, intelligent, and good-looking man he is. Very well spoken, very down-to-earth. Be proud of who you are....all of you!!
What an amazing story and what an open-minded family.... Your father looks from the cloud and says "My son, I'm so proud of you".... Thank you for sharing
Totally superficial comment, but...my God, he is beautiful!!!
Wow. This is the most insane thing I've seen on the web all week. Congratulations, I guess, you deranged fruitcake
Hi Jeffrey, Yes I'd say someone needs to keep an eye on this asshat.
Are you nuts?
chpoof ...no, you are a totally superficial schmendrick because all you mention are his looks.
chpoof I don't understand how your comment solicited such nasty replies
What are the odds of having 3 gay sons. Interesting.
If your first son is gay, there is a larger chance of the next son being gay. It’s weird, but not too out of the ordinary.
@Precious Erving Wrong and ignorant statement. Everyone has some sort of Gay in them. If someone gets shown something and them loving it, then the Gay is in them from birth. Take your donkey ass somewhere else with your ignorant statement.
@Precious Erving The dumbest people on the planet make inaccurate claims without any proof or evidence. You have no authority over someone else's circumstance whatsoever.
@The Moody Jooz You are a fucking liar and ignorant as fuck. Why come up with that lame ass opinion or fact? You are a liar. You were not there.
This chain of comments are freaking IGNORANT!
Jason, I'm Yasmine. Watching you, I just want to give you a big hug as tears are running down my face. You're such a sweet soul. I'm straight, Haitian, and I grew up in a strict Baptist household in Brooklyn after coming to America at age 12. so strict that in the freezing cold of NY, I wasn't even allowed to wear pants. Crazy!! I left like religion put me in box.
Now, I'm much older and for the life of me, I just could never and will never understand the hatred towards the gay community from the church, so every night I watch a tone of videos like yours and it's as if God pours more and more love and compassion in my heart for the gay community after I listen to a coming out story. I thank God for giving me His heart.
I thank Him for my time in the military because the experience exposed me to sailors who were different from me. My brothers and sisters I'm sure you know that some Christians will never change and will unfortunately continue to use the Bible to hate others. Leave them alone. I send all of my gay brothers and sisters love.
He’s gorgeous. Gonna make someone a lucky guy 😍😍🇮🇱

Teachers should know that when a kid asks to go to the bathroom, they aren't asking for permission. They're giving you a warning.
Thats what you focused on…the toilet! Really?
I'm moved to tears suddenly. A beautiful but heartbreaking story because I am aware of how difficult it is especially in bigoted, racist USA. He's an incredible mixture of wonderful genes and rich cultural heritage. He enriches our species and world as he seems such a wonderful human being.
.
His parents raised a fine man and whoever gets to share a loving life with him is a lucky man.
Damn his smile got me questioning my sexuality
Most people have the potential to be bisexual. We've been so misled by the psychiatric lobby. All they are, are pseudo-"scientists" in the first place. Nothing psychiatry claims can be confirmed.
@@frankpaya690 Are you a scientologist? Just curious. The field of study you should be looking at is sexology, look up the Kinsey scale.
Jason, your father would be so Extremely proud of you!. I can just feel the emotion in your voice, your love and respect for both of your parents and your extended family. We are all closer to one another than we realize, genetically. Thank you for this beautiful video and sharing things so close to your heart.
We are, all of us, connected to each other in so many ways :)
I am black and gay. I am just getting invovled wih a great white jewish man - you have taught me a great life lesson today, for which I humbly thank you!!!
You’re retarded
Shut up
what an awesome story! Shows strength to be all of yourself and stand proud.
Beautiful story, beautifully told, by a beautiful guy, outside and in, your dad was looking down on you with so much pride xx
Love this!!! My heart goes out to him. ❤️
I suppose in a way you are the Lucky one ,, what a story !! my father tried to kill me, he felt I was getting away at 16 to live the life he wanted , my mother told me he was a closet gay himself and it twisted him and made him sick with anger. BUT I did get away, I lived my life good and bad, my choices with its conséquences.
Stephanie Murray,
Sorry to hear.
At least you are happy now.
Good luck in 10 years.
john Edwards she never said she was happy now
wow your mom told you that?
@@chevalierdenoir754 Yes and I suppose that she has her reasons. As a kid I didn't see it but she 'knew'. It's sad when people ruin their lives through frustration and innability to accept themselves. Fortunately in most cultures today it is easier. I in no way feel sympathy for my father, he had a wonderful wife and home and three great kids and he ruined us and was an awful person .
Thank you for sharing your story of your dad and you. Inspiring.
You seem very kind. You dad must be very proud in heaven. I am so sorry for your loss RIP🕊.....
Jason, thanks for sharing this deeply emotional and moving story. Your story. You should be very proud of your heritage, sexuality and as a person. I hope there was a someone in the room when video shot, so at the end, could give you a hug. For support and gratitude to you in sharing. You are a fine young man. Feel honoured to hear you.
Love your combination Jewish blk & gay!! I came out at 55
Ps I'm Jewish
It takes true bravery to come out after years of hiding your authentic self. Be proud and know you are never alone, we are all in this together--no matter age, religion, ethnicity, race, etc.
Halle Berry is that you?
hahahahahaha
A Jewish brother is always a brother whatever is skincolor or sexual preferences ^^
Still my bro 😊🇮🇱
You are not Jewish, Jews do not accept homosexuality.
@@drwhite7285 no they do
@@oa1952 Then they are not Jewish.
@@drwhite7285 I have a Jewish friends and they are gay
Reform accepts homosexuals, orthodox is very strict and against it for 5000+ years. Honestly sucks that I was orthodox but can’t be anymore because I can’t change who I am. Isaac Mizrahi grew up in my community tho.
Wow what a wonderful story 😍😍I'm sorry he lost his Dad so soon. But how beautiful to know, no matter what, he was supported 💯 so important for a child.
His parents did him a favor. When you mix different genes you get beautiful children. God knows what my genes are, my family is from Sicily. Many different cultures.
Steven Degli Angeli race traitor
@@kingcwada5910 so becuase we're gay we have to be cool with racemixing? Sorry we all don't fit into the same mold
@@kingcwada5910 I know, people will love who they'll love and it is none of my concern. People like OP anger me because it seems like they want to advance it instead of merely tolerating it. Like I cant stand when people say how brave I am for being gay and people try to accommodate me by showing how for gay rights they are. I dont want that I just want to be simply tolerated and nothing else. Like they say gay marriage is a victory for me. I dont see it that way. Why would I want to be married, I'm gay I feel like all of this just makes us look like imitation straight people to them. I mean no offense if you disagree but in a way I feel like we had a unique sub culture prior to about 2006 that is now a watered down mainstream thing.
Steven Degli Angeli so ignorant your statement is just because children are mixed don't make them any better or look gorgeous I have seen some unattractive mixed children as well as people people are people so I don't believe what you're saying but you have a right to your opinion.
He's beautiful inside and out.
What a deeply beautiful story. Thanks for sharing Jason. You are special.
So much courage! Shalom from the Dominican Republic🇩🇴
-a fellow gay
I held back tears the whole time listening to your story.
You are an admirable young man. Thanks for sharing your inspiring and moving story.
I wish I would have known your father and all your family! What a wonderful example of human being.
Wow. Not only Jewish, gay and black but both his brothers? That is amazing. I have not heard before of multiple children being gay in a family. With gay only being about 10% of any society regardless of acceptance, to have three children in one family is a pretty big deal. This one made me cry. Such a sweet story.
Someone has to win the lottery. Those people were my parents ;-)
Wow, what a touching story. You clearly come from a warm and loving family. You are so lucky.
I wish you loads of love. Thanks for this video!!!
The title of this video is a line in "Love, Simon"
I love this guy, He did the right thing and is such a beautiful person , He has touched many lives and especially mine. TAHNK YOU
Wow Jason...you had people ready to cry and junk lol. Thank you for sharing the lessons your parents taught you. I know his legacy still lives on in all of his sons. Namaste
very handsome fella
Wait are his brothers gay too did I hear that
Jesse Gutierrez ew
@Jesse Gutierrez you are sick
@Jesse Gutierrez you call being pervert ..... cool?
@Jesse Gutierrez you are a sick pervert.read you stupid post again
@Jesse Gutierrez often that's somebody's first same-sex experience- with a sibling, or a cousin.
Wow to have that kind support from your parents is EVERYTHING!! ❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful story ! Thanks for sharing 💕
Jason, you are a living example of the maxim, "Out of adversity comes the call to greatness." You are an excellent role model for young people [and old people] today. Thank you for your courage and life spirit........Kudos.........Ray
I always see your comments on these videos, and because i never have before, just thought I'd say hi :)
Hey Kats, a big hi to you too! As a teacher and counselor of young adults, I try to keep hope alive and give encouragement. You can find me here: bor1940@hotmail.com
Cheers...........Ray
He's a beautiful soul. Kudos to his parents. 💖
May your Father’s Memory be for a Blessing, that radiates even more Love and Kindness, to you, your Brothers, and the entire Mischpocha
I'm gay love is a wonderful thing
Your parents did you the most wonderful favour; they gave you YOU!
Wow magical! Thanks for sharing!
Wow. An amazing guy in so many ways. I can see you delivered this interview with a great deal of feeling You have compassion and your intelligence shows. We are all a strain and mix. All of us. But people are ignorant. If they only knew their own family history The human race was began in Africa. I had my genome tested. I even have 2 percent Neanderthal, Arabic and Asian blood. And Roman. None of us are pure anything. Sounds like you had parents way ahead of their time. Best to you.
Your farther was a very wise man and I know he would be extremely proud of you!
Im Jewish and Gay. Very Sweet. So are you active in all three of your natural communities?
I'm a little late to the conversation but I'm also black, Jewish and gay. Your Dad was so right. It's imperative that we learn to take up our space in this world. We'll never be enough of anything to please others so the goal is to not care about what others think. What they say or how they act is much more about them than us. We were not put on this earth to please others or to make them comfortable. Keep living your most authentic life because it goes by pretty quick and there's no time to waste on hateful or ignorant people. Much love to you. ❤
Wonderful video. He was probably very proud of you
What a wonderful human being. God Bless you.
He’s gorgeous.
That took courage you are amazing not burdened father you are incredible
He’s like Blue(can’t think of real name) from Love,Simon
Bram Greenfeld! Exactly what I was thinking.
SO CUTE
Blue from Love, Simon? :))
I love this ❤️
I am who I am, if you don't like ....
Inspiring video.
what a beautiful family - it must have been hard for their mom - having grandchildren is so much part of an older womans' life. and she had 3 sons. (i have no grandchildren myself, it's not easy.)
Yuck
My dear mother, who has since passed away as well, prized loving her 3 sons beyond anything else (except maybe her cats?). From what I know, she had initial thoughts about the grandchildren part--but learned that focusing on the present is where you experience true joy. (Also, there was always the possibility of adoption or surrogates or in time, even two male parents, as well as taking care of grand nieces/nephews and other children.) Lastly, the perks of 3 gay sons include knowing that you will age as gracefully as possible; and that there will be a full pit crew to take care of you should you become immobile or go into the hospital for makeup, hair, wardrobe and skin care. ;-)
Beautifull made my soul smile beautifull man & story
Way to go................What an inspiration you are young man. Thanks for posting this. G-d be with you.
Fascinating story. Wow!
Man you be proud of who you are ------ being gay is not a lifestyle choice every individuals sexuality is decided in their mothers womb prior to their birth ----- It the same as some people are born right handed and some people are born left handed and they did not make the choice
Life is difficult, and I'm truly sorry for your loss, and the hurt and pain you must feel. Please tell me you are a Republican!
Wow. I had to see it twice because i was totally consumed by your beauty!!!
I just want to hug you man. 🤗
What a beautiful human being, inside and out! shalom x
Amazing story Jason and I am so sorry you did not get to tell your father about your sexuality, but I am sure that your father would have be very proud of you no matter what.
Awesome young man
I AM BLACK, GAY, JEWISH AND NATIVE AMERICAN AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
damn he fine
'LOVE, SIMON' anyone?
Black, Jewish and gay, wow it the trifecta huh... People that say being gay is a choice have to be bisexual.
What’s the chances of his older AND younger brother also being gay? Wow. I love it lol. Imagine having 2 gay brothers while being gay!
You certainly would never feel alone. Could hit on guys together etc lol
He looks like a stereotypical ancient Egyptian.
Sorry, that has nothing to do with the story.
This is intersectionality! Wonderful parents. They make so much difference. You are beautiful, inside and out! The group at the funeral, humanity represented, united in love.
You are a sweet and amazing boy. Shalom!!
@rupert lump I Agree
I hear people a lot that seem to think that if you belong to a religious denomination, like Judaism, or Islam that that identifies your ethnic heritage/group, it doesn't anymore than being Christian identifies it . It's being a member of a certain religion.sometimes in certain parts of the world there's a lot of people from that part of the world, that belong to a certain religion, but it doesn't mean if somebody identifies as a Jew, that that's their "ethnicity".
i am in awe
Beautiful man, beautiful soul.
“Your parents didn’t do you any favors?” What. The. Frick?
That poor kid was so nervous during this video!!!
Shame on that teacher for not allowing him to go to the bathroom!!! My brothers first grade teacher pulled something like that and he ended up going to the bathroom on himself. Shame on that teacher!!!
Hi! I was actually sick haha. I had a mild fever and my ears would not stop looking like Rudolph’s nose so we just went with it 😅😉. Thanks for the love!
@@jasondanielfair2193 I watched again and now I think what I originally thought was nervousness…I now see as just your physical reaction to a difficult subject to talk about. I only noticed your ears because you pointed it out…I was looking at your face and facial expressions. 😀
@@jasondanielfair2193 but I cracked up…Rudolph!!! 😂
Well done young man
First :) Really good video!! Thx
Literally blue from love simon 😂😂
Wow..awesome story of beauty and strength!
Oh wow! That's the stereotypical deadly trio! xD
Really cute tho!!
*I’m Asian, Jewish, and I don’t fucking know the rest.* B) 👌🏽
I have a similar background. I'm Jewish, Puerto Rican, and gay. Us minorities need to stick together, especially with this ramp up of xenophobic/white supremacist rhetoric in the USA
He is actually really cute
A beautiful boy, indeed.
Ok. What's wrong with being Black Jewish and Gay?
Is this guy Bram from Love, Simon.
a Social Justice Warrior's best mate?!
How do I get in contact with this guy ? If anyone knows please let me know-- he’s so adorable
Looking cool.. Happy Holidays to you....
So well-considered and self-confident. Smart too.
He’s going to hell 100%
@@straton9658 If there is a hell, that's where mean-spirited, judgmental people will go, 100%.
@@marccohen1335 no gay people go there
Whatever, poppet. Show some respect in this life. Your beliefs of the afterlife are of no concern to anyone but yourself. @@straton9658
Yes he is physically beautiful and sound like spiritually as well but, I don't want to make this about that, he is more than that, he is special, he is blessed.
My humble opinion
