    Your video popped up while i was watching a friend's vid, so I decided to watch it. I am glad I did. I normally don't make comments at the risk of being called names because of my age. However and with that being said, I applaud you for finding out just who you really are and having the ability to understand it at such a young age. I also will say that I somewhat envy you at the same time because I was neither able nor had the guts to come out until I was in my 30's. While you may feel alone at times, even depressed, just remember you have become true to yourself and that NO ONE can take away from you. We as a community, are "coming of age" so to speak and things do get better. You did take a risk and now will learn to deal with those ramifications, but do it without shame. The benefits of being true to yourself will always out weigh the pain and suffering of hiding. You will experience rejection, hate, name-calling and more. But never give up to whom you have become. When you wake up in the morning, go into the bathroom, look into the mirror, smile and ask yourself, "What am I going to do to make me feel proud?" Thank you for sharing & good luck as only you can create your life's destiny.

    You were wise to cut off with Sam -- romantic stuff ought to all be from mutual desire and choice. I am really sad your brothers and grandparents were so ignorant and negative. How wonderful, though, that Kaleigh is supportive and encouraging. Devon sounds really cool. Listen, you are really a great, special person, even if others so far have been slow to catch on. I hope you heal soon and that your joy returns!

    I, too, am gay and I have known that for as long as I can remember. Unlike you, though, I was never able to come out. To anyone. I hid it from the entire world, realizing that I would likely die as a bitter gay virgin. Finally, in my late twenties, I made one friend whom I could tell. Like many gay men, my best friend was a woman. She had been in an abusive marriage and had stopped being with men. Eventually, we decided to have a marriage of best friends and we have had that for thirty-six years. I am still a gay virgin and I am now 63 years old. I finally began my coming out process on June 12, 2016, the day when many of our gay brothers and loving family members died because of one idiot who decided that we didn't have the right to live. I couldn't stop crying that day and I realized that I had to begin telling the world my truth. First, I told my Facebook friends, which included several of my friends from high school. It was not until a little over a year ago that I told my three surviving siblings. They all said they still loved me, but I haven't had any communication from them more personal than a Facebook post. What you did right, and I did wrong, was to come out while your family was available. By waiting until I was 62 to come out to my family, I lost the ability to share my truth with my parents, my grandparents, my aunts and uncles and three of my sisters who all died while I stayed safely hidden in my closet. That is one thing I will never get over, because I can't go backwards in time to fix it. You are young. Maybe your family members will realize that you are no different than before, maybe they won't. But you have given them the opportunity to do so. I will never have that back. Yet still, remember that with all you have been through, it will get better. If you need help, contact the Trevor Project. They will help.

    You are such an incredible human being. I watched this video totally mesmerized by your story. I'm sorry about how your family treated you... that really sucks big time... All I could see in this video was a humble sweet individual who has incredible strength in him to shrug this all off and accept himself for who he is truly is. ... that you told it like it was. I'm not going to say that it was courageous of you to coming out this way. All I'm going to say is that your story is true... and heartfelt..

    We often need to say goodbye to people, places, and things, in order to say hello to a future of truth, growth, and freedom to be our true selves. You are learning so much wisdom - from suffering losses and moving forward to be with those people who love you, places that will allow you to be truthful, and things that you can share with others. You are so brave. You are worth so much. Be careful to protect your gifts from anyone who doesn't see them as valuable. Be bold enough to share your gifts with those who do see them as valuable. Thanks for sharing your coming out story with us.

    You may have lost your biological family but one day you will realize you gained your true (LGBTQ) family. Over the years to come, you will come to realize you are the better person than anyone who ever bullied you. In fact, did you know bullies operate from a low self-esteem? Yep, it's true. If anything, feel sorry for them and relishing the happiness of being YOU, with all of us in the LGBTQ family who constantly love YOU. Welcome to the LGBTQ community. You will do better in avoiding anyone in your past who may have rejected you. Try not to over think it and move on to looking forward to a truly happy future, and when the day comes those of your past reach out to connect with you, be careful in letting them back into your inner circle. Pay attention to how they make you feel at the end of the day, toxic or good, and only then after reviewing your feelings, adjust your flexible boundaries accordingly. Personally, I have family members that I will never allow near me again and others who I will only tolerate seeing once a year. If you give your life to an art career, it may be therapeutic for you. I know it has been for me. Grow into a powerful warrior of exceeding wisdom and help us fight the global fight that continues, and remember we are killing ourselves more than anyone else out there. Just surviving and making others aware of your existence is activism enough, but if you become an activist like you are doing here in this video, you will help others and yourself. I am here if you need me. Peace and LOVE BE to YOU.

    You are so cute and lovable. I’ve only watched you for 15 minutes and love you already. I’m so sorry for all that you have been through. Being older I know how life changes and how it improves as we see through all the bullshit that comes our way and realize just how special and lovable we are. Get involved with other gay people and your self esteem will skyrocket and you’ll experience the joy of feeling super special as you really are. You are going to be so surprised how good life can be when you find gay friends who feel as you do and you experience the joy of having a boyfriend who is madly in love with who you really are. I’m actually feeling jealous of who that guy turns out to be. He will be one lucky guy. Stay positive and get out there. The world is your oyster!🥰😀❤️🌈💥⚡️

    Life should not be this difficult at your age. Sorry you had some people in your life that lack empathy. Even those people have things in their lives they are not proud of or will share with others. So you are the brave one and the honest one. Your life will be great with the right people. ‘Right people” can be difficult and takes time. There are a lot more kind people in the world that most people realize.

  • @benw9949
    @benw9949 5 лет назад +1

    I'm partway through this. Some advice from a guy with probably a very different path through coming out than you have had. -- We are nearly all raised to think we are supposed to be straight boys, very gruff masculine. But sometime between your preteens and young adulthood, you start to clue in that you like guys. I can now look back and see clues that I didn't know at the time because I was so young and naive, just a kid. But oh my, my first couple of serious crushes were on boys, friends, and I didn't even know it until I was well into the crushes. (When, one night, you find yourself falling asleep thinking how neat it would be to see that friend wet and, hmm, taking those wet clothes off and thinking of his neck, arms, oh, anything...and you suddenly realize you have a crush on him, a boy.) I was in 9th grade and that was my second serious crush. -- Yet at the same time, I was thinking, oh, if I just meet the right girl, somehow the switch will turn on and I'll be straight! Nope, doesn't work like that. -- The straight boys and straight girls already have their feelings wired in, so much so that they don't even think of it when they start acting out, showing clues who they like. The gay (and bi) kids are also wired for who they like, but we're often so conditioned that we have a long period of confusion or resistance, before we can be OK with expressing our gay feelings. Or our gay feelings show up without us knowing or expecting it. (Like trying to kiss my best friend at 11. Hey, I thought it was fine, thought he liked me back. Nope, not that way, he didn't.) In other words, many of us take similar paths, but the details are a little different. Including that struggle with, am I gay or not, what do I do now, how can I be gay, is there anybody around here I cold talk with or any potential boyfriend? That realization that you liked a guy more than a girl, and any realization that, oh, he liked guys too, or no, he was straight (both happen) is one of those struggles of dealing with being gay.

    • @benw9949
      @benw9949 5 лет назад +1

      Dang, I wish any of my friends had liked me back or had managed to get through to me. I was probably sending out signals that I was too freaked out and mixed up, so therefore don't approach. But it was a different time then. -- You are way lucky that you had a friend to experience that with who liked you back. Totally OK to be unsure at first. (Heck, straight kids are unsure how to deal with their first few relationships.)

    No doubt, you describe a difficult time in your life, but you are not alone. You will persevere and life goes on. Explore your sexuality with your safety in mind. Be strong and true. Never give up.

  • @MEVMontana
    @MEVMontana 4 года назад +2

    Well, “enjoy” is not not a 100% correct description of me watching your video. I enjoyed you stubbornly sticking to yourself, making the choice between truth and lie on the point through intuition. I love you for that. Of course I could not enjoy how your siblings/mother/... treated you. That was not supportive that was not accepting that was narrow minded, not knowing, sad. By the way others expecting gay people to behave like women sucks. Good wishes, respect for you and thank you!!! Martin

    It takes balls to do this, man. And I know your younger brother, he doesn't hate you. He loves you and is struggling to come out to his "grand parents" and he's afraid what his half-brother will think. You're his hero, he still looks up to you.
    You probably don't want to hear about him right now, but he's the person who showed me your channel, and my ex boyfriend. He misses you so much, and wants to hang out with you again because you're the one person he trusts. I'm sorry for wasting your time

    @edwardcummings4358 4 года назад

    It is a tragedy that some in your family are so hateful and self righteous that they told you "burn in hell". They must be terribly hurting inside to say such things. What is heaven and hell? The spirit guide Evening Star said that what is heaven for one is hell for another. She cited the example of listening to rock n roll music. For some they would be in heaven while for others they would feel like they were in hell. For some people watching a particular football team win would be heaven while for someone else it would be hell. It may help to realize that many people and groups are demonized, you're not alone. I reject the idea of "burn in hell" and I hope everyone else will too. There are lots of religious ideas to pick from, like a God of love. I and many others like the writings of Rumi. I applaud your courage and determination. The challenges in life make us stronger and what a blessing it is to have a real friend.

  • @benw9949
    @benw9949 5 лет назад +1

    I hope you're doing OK. You're dealing with a lot of stuff. If your family or friends cannot, will not accept you and make your life miserable, you have the right to live your life on your own without them bothering you, as long as you have supportive adults and friends and a place to live. Which you do, living with your aunt. Cool. -- Yeah, that misconception that being gay means a boy is girly or want to be the "girl" in the relationship is just wrong. Being gay means you like the same sex. You like guys and their parts, both physical and non-physical, emotional. It doesn't mean a guy wants to be the girl. Nope, he's a guy, he likes guys, he and the guy he's with are both the guys in the relationship. They like it that way. That's what being gay is. Heh. Er, and yeah, being gay means you can trade roles or who does what with whom in the couple. All that stuff about burning in hell? They are missing the definition. If God is love, then God is not about hatred and fear and hurting others, and not about controlling others. And wanting to love another human being of the same sex, is, surprise, also love, and not hate or perversion. -- Hey, I grew up in a different branch of Christianity, but yeah, I grew up in a family where I never felt I could talk to my parents about being gay, despite that we had a good relationship in most other ways. There wasn't overt hate. But it was more like being gay was so unthinkable and unspeakable. Which makes it tough if you grow up realizing, oh, hey, I have feelings for guys. -- Hey, keep on being you. Find your own path through life and find those friends and new, family-by-choice you need. It is not easy. (I still struggle with things too.) But it is being your true self.

    You are very brave to come out at your age. I'm so sorry about the level of rejection you've experienced; you deserve so much better. Thank goodness your aunt and sister at least have some decency. Regarding your mother, well, it sounds like she might have been trying to support you, but didn't know how? I obviously don't know the back story of your relationship but she may be willing to accept your input and change her offensive behavior. As for the bullying, you have the legal right to an education in a safe environment. If you are being bullied, take out your phone and record it, if possible. Always report every incident, to the school, to your aunt, even to the police if nothing is done. There is no reason why you should have to put up with criminal intimidation and harassment at school. Try to find an LGBT youth group in your area who can offer their support, as well.
