Thank you for this honest and moving story. You're very brave and inspiring. Straight people just don't have a clue as to how scary it is to have 'the talk' with the parents, like you said not knowing if they might kick you out and disown you, etc. Glad it worked out for you.
Hi kevin, i am really glad this video showed up in my recommendations. I can relate a lot. I'm 23 too, asian but from Peru and just a month ago i came out to my family. For weeks i felt like i was falling into depression and felt like i had to tell someone, otherwise i would explote. First i told my twin brother. You just cant imagine how badly i wanted to tell him all this years, we shared everything but i always put this wall between us. He hugged me, said he loved me and that he wished he could have been there for me when i started feeling alone and suffering in silence. Then i told my two sisters and finally my mom. They told me they love me and just want me to be happy. My dad passed 5 years ago so i never got to tell him, but i know now he would have loved me anyway. This is all new and scary and exciting and crazy. I cant believe i did it. Anyway, thank you for sharing your story, i like the way you express yourself, hope your channel grow :D new sub
Hello Alvaro! Reading your coming out story gave me chills. I suddenly felt how it was like coming out to our loved ones. Our minds are so powerful that can put a wall between the people we love. It takes courage and time for us to break them. I hope the best for you Alvaro ☺
@@KevinTarin that’s so beautiful your coming out story is beautiful god bless you always guess what I am gay too my name is Chetan it’s very difficult to come out to our family and friends and parents I support you all the way yhtough
Wow Kevin. Thank you for your video. I am terrified of accepting who I am. I have used all of the same excuses you did. I dated women and finally accepted I am attracted to guys. Here's the kicker. I ignored it for years. I refused to allow myself to be like that. Recently I have made the same decision you did. I have to tell my family and accept myself. I just don't know how to do either of those. I actually made a video of essentially word salad trying to figure out what to do lol. You're video tells me that I'm not alone and that family will love me no matter what. I'm grateful for your video. I'm grateful for your honesty. Most of all, I'm grateful for your inspiration. Thanks a lot
My heart sunken when I read this last night. This made me super happy because this is exactly how I really wanted for this video. For somebody to feel the same and not feel alone. Our relationship with our family and people we cared about is so important to show who we truly are and able to love ourselves fully 💜 Thank you for your this comment!!
Well, it actually happened. I flew to where my family lives for a planned trip and while I was there I told them the truth. They are very conservative so I feared the worst. I was so surprised when they told me how much they love me and that no matter what they support me. I was, and still am, shocked. Again, thank you so much for your video
Tbh I cried so much while watching this video. When my cousin came out as gay my parents said that he has gone crazy. How could I ever come out to my parents..?
Whenever I thought about my journey of being out with parents still makes me very emotional however it's still a process. Especially being away from my parents, I'm not able to create a connection with my parents as a gay man. You never know what could happen if you come out to your parents, it will be a process for them but the feeling of something you can't hide anymore, is the best thing that you can do for yourself. The love for yourself is something we should take priority because you're the only that can do that for yourself and you can work on that as well to other like your parents after you come out 🥰💌 I hope this helps! I'm always here 😇
Kevin, you are a gutsy guy. Congratulations for being so brave and taking charge of who you are! I'm older than you are, and never had the guts to come out to my parents (they died when I was fairly young -- 20). So proud of your strength, I know it has made you a stronger person! You are beautiful inside and out, Kevin. Congratulations.
Doctor James, It's early in the morning and I'm crying just reading this message. I can easily feel people's emotions so easily and I can't imagine how much you have went through. From Feeling hidden and scared to showing who we are, truly unravels different possibilities that we can have in life and connection with ourselves to others. I hope you are doing well ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you
i've just came out on this 30 of August, hearing you and your story makes me feel calm as well actually when i told them, we had a lot of tears coming out and somehow i feel blessed but also not fully cant get off from this burden that ive been carry on for 27 years well yes when i said it through them my all relatives say that , Hey we all still love you and it's not gonna change us. just some part of my mum still cant accept it till now and i think it's gonna be a hard day for us in front i just wanna find some way to explain more to her, but it just seems like she trying wanna fix me and i told her and all my relatives please, when i came out it means all of me and what i've said already the truth and i want you guys to believe and appreciate they way that i take. well now after i came out, i mean all family members still okay with me, its just my mum that needs more time and i really love all of them but it doesnt mean that i'm gonna change back to bcome what they want i just need courage too, So shout out to all of my LGBT friends stay strong, cause i'm also gonna pass this moment LOVE YOU GUYS ALL!
Hello Stefano! Thank you for sharing your story, it means alot to me and for the people who will be reading this. Coming out is one of the best step for you to become the beautiful individual that has been hiding for 27 years. You're old relationship will be never the same with family and friends. You're going to be making new and amazing connections with your loved ones with your present self. It can be hard for the people we love the most to fully recieve us but it will take some time for them. GOD KNOWS HOW LONG but we have to make an effort and truly show them more love than before. I bet you're mom is an amazing mother and a woman, spending time with her more often would let her emotions like fears, released and relieved. Always take care Stefano!!! Sending loads of LOVE ❤
I am well aware of the fact that being gay is not choice. I am gay and Asian just like you. I had been in a monogamous and a very long term relationship with the most handsomest and kindest Caucasian man who has just recently passed away. But looking back on all those years that we were together, I now realize that I had made the biggest mistake of my entire life! Having a normal relationship with a wife and kids is the most righteous thing to do even if you are as abnormal as being gay. Don't think too much about your sexuality and do yourself a favour: Start a family before it is too late. Time runs out quickly on all of us.
I have known many gay Asian men who struggle with this. Many say they will come out they are just waiting for the right time but is there really a right time for something like this
Exactly! We shouldn't limit or hide ourselves. We don't know what it could be like on the side. There's so many unfolds through the process in yourself and with people that cares/loves you 😇
@@KevinTarin Was just gonna tell ya the same thing (21st century) till I saw this comment. Great video though, Kevin. And as a lighting designer, your lighting is fine. If you would like to improve it more though (if you haven't already) look into getting one of those LED rings with adjustable colour (warm white to cool white). That will make your videos perfect. Otherwise, congrats and thanks for sharing your story.
