The way his father looked down when he heard Colton knew since he was six...thats the look of someone that realizes how much their child had been suffering in silence
This a great dad to understand the emotional and mental support of someone trying to understand who they are. It was hard for me and millions still today I struggle with being gay myself, but just keeping opening up to the ones you know and to ask for their advice.
My dad was this way.. Took me 26 years to come out 😞 My family has always been church, grandchildren type wanting me to marry which made me so scared to come out. He literally felt so guilty for not knowing or able to help me. I wanted to commit suicide and told my sister so she told my dad for me before I did anything. He was heartbroken I didn't tell him. I love my family and proud of who I am now.
No one and no thing is worth taking your life over! I'm glad you did not harm yourself ! Just know we can not please everyone. I'm a Christian. I believe in the bible. But I lost a wonderful friend who was a gay man to Cancer. He was loved by everyone and was most generous. Our God is a loving God. He knows our hearts. He sees all the good we do. Continue to be strong and make a positive difference in this world. That's what matters most. Love is love. I get judgement bc people say I'm not a Christian if I except gay people. Well I tell them who am I to judge. I'm not God. But I believe the Lord is Life, Love and light. We all can change and if not so be it. I'm entitled to my belief in Christianity and you are entitled to live your life. This world would be a much nicer place to live if we could all coexist and stop the insanity with trying to change everyone. We all find our way when the time is right. Who am I to cast stones when I myself fall short of the glory of God. May God keep you safe. 🙏🤗
@@fanoftheparanormal2480 Lol!!🤣 I love that You: Mom I'm gay. Mom: Oh thank God; I thought you might be pregnant!! See what might be bad to someone can be joyful to another. All in ones perspective. ! 👍
We have to understand that our dads are from another generation. They were raised under diferents belifs and morals where a man were not supposed to be weak, show their feelings and god forbid the crying thing. My dad is the same way as colton's. It is hard for them too.
I came out in 1973. If I could have been accepted at an early age my whole life would have been different, happier. It isn’t a walk in the park today but it’s so much better.
This is beautiful, I wish my family could accept me this way, that dad is amazing and a handle the situation perfectly, i can only hope one day mine can do the same
This is so empowering to even a 19 year old person like me. I've known I was different since a few days before I turned 17; my best friend told me she already knew about who I was and it felt wonderful to hear that.
I don’t think it’s fair that people have to ‘come out’ if they are gay. I am straight and I didn’t have to come out. I just worry about the incredible pressure that places on some people having to ‘come out just so that they can live honest lives. I pray for anyone who is struggling with coming out. Just remember you are perfect in the eyes of the Lord, God made you this way because you are his perfection just like everyone. God bless you all out there, gay or straight, who cares, you do you 🙏💖 Colton, thank you for giving so many people some answers, inspiration and the strength they need to live open loving happy lives. Your best achievement ever 🙌💖
Parents need to know that Yes we must still Love and Accept our children,BUT NOT THE CONFUSED,GAY, LESBIAN SPIRITS UPON THEM. TRUE CHRISTIANS WHO UNDERSTANDS THE BIBLE,GOD'S WORD WITH GOD'S UNDERSTANDING AND REVELATION WILL KNOW TO PRAY AND WARFARE THOSE SPIRITS OFF,OUT AND UPROOT THESE EVIL SPIRITS FROM THEIR CHILDREN. Colton saying his now closer to GOD???? SORRY BUT WHEN WE'RE INTIMATE,CLOSE AND DEEP WITH GOD OUR CREATOR,THEN WE'LL CONTINUE TO PRAY,WARFARE AND WAIT ON GOD TO GET ANSWERS AND NOT ACT ACCORDING TO OUR EMOTIONS,FEELINGS OR WILL. YES GOD LOVES EVERBODY,BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN HE ACCEPTS GAYS OR LESBIANS,MURDERERS,RAPISTS,ROBBERS ETC,BECAUSE IT'S ALL NOT WHO GOD CREATED.SAD HOW SOCIETY IN THIS WORLD ACCEPTS ANYTHING.WHEN WE ONLY ACCEPT GOD'S WILL,WAYS,COMMANDS,RULES,WE'RE NOT CONFUSED IN MIND OR SPIRIT.
@@houseofinri.hoi1959 oh shut up Ingrid, you're worshipping a hateful and fake God. You better be contemplating on your religion right now or risk going to hell on your misguided beliefs on God.
Im sorry but this just made me facepalm hard. You announce your preference in life, something that nature probably did not intend for, but it does happend dont get me wrong, im not against anyones sexuality, im bisexual myself. Coming out is just a part of the world we live in now, in 500 years it might not even turn eyes at all, or yes it would since religion pretty much chokes the worlds progress, but you get my point
The part about holding on to a hetero relationship out of not wanting to deal with your true self has to be the most relatable. It's so hard to let go of who you were conditioned to be, and step into the true you. That's my current situation, and I hope I can one day find the strength to step into me, and step out of who I was taught to be.
let me ask this. i dont know any straight dude that would f a dude to keep up a facade for the public, but gays do it? how does that work? its not like gays back then and even some now were disgusted with having sex with women. so whats the deal with that?
@@user-il5hy5tr5z 2 years old comment. But as a gay who struggled for years (including having straight sex with 3 different women), I can answer... it's down to couple of things. First, the will to be straight was so goddamn powerful. I used to think I rather die, than be gay. I felt like I'm betraying my friends, brothers, my father, my country even (I'm from a country where every man has to serve in the army, attitudes are conservative). So you're willing to do literally anything. Secondly, there is no negative stigma in having straight sex. This plays a huge part. When it's "cool" and "what you're supposed to do" instead of "digusting" and "shameful", you'd be surprised how big effect it has on you, and how you don't find it that repulsive anymore. Actually I don't find the idea of having straight sex repulsive at all, just boring and fake. I just can't get off from it. But I was never disgusted, for having to go down on a woman etc. (As long as she's clean). There was intimacy and tenderness, so it kinda felt good actually. But not in the way it's supposed to. I cared for her emotionally, but it's not enough. And most important, not fair towards her. Thirdly, the male genitals are very sensitive to touch and friction. So you can get it up, even you don't really want that much. Once you're inside the woman, the rest is just mechanical motion. Getting to that point can be a bit tricky... but it's doable, if you want to believe it's the most important thing to achieve in the world.
@@clarki32 My dad acted the same way his did. I relate to this so much cause I was that guy in his shoes. Faked it for so long, did the same to my ex girlfriend not as crazy but still.. I was hurting and tried covering it up with a false relationship I didn't want to end knowing ill have to come to realization with myself. Moral of the story, My family rocks and his dad is just like mine. ❤ Happy and proud of myself now.
I had no choice at 17 years old. My dad disowned me and I got kicked out. I’m 40 now. We repatched our relationship fairly quick. As tough as that time was… I had to understand that it put my dad through something too. The quicker I understood that, cuz this man is old and stubborn, the quicker I could reach my true happiness. And I wouldn’t change it. I love my dad with all my heart. I know a part of him died that day. But I also know a new part of him was born.
You know, for the people who see this clip/show, we perceive it and rationalize it according to our own convictions and moral senses...myself included. Putting all specific substance aside (in other words, irrespective of the main theme here), having that level of communication, approachability and interaction with your father, or that sense of feeling safe in speaking to your father in whatever you are going through...I never had that, so I can speak to how enviable and valuable that is.
of course he's ~super warm and encouraging~ when there's like 5+ people standing around literally recording his every move and word let's revisit this in a year and see how well it's aged

I wish it was like this when I came out to my dad at 17. I was trying to tell that I was and will always be the same old person, I’m just interested in men. But my dad is always said that I had demon inside me, I’ll go to hell and that I’ll die from STD. The rest of family already knew before I came out to them and they were all happy about and still loved for it. To this day, my father never made an effort to fix his relationship with me; I’ve tried in the past and it never worked. But I’m taking therapy so it helps along with being with my friends and family.
@@scotscub76 Thank you. I did find happiness; I’m living my life fully gay and nobody can tell me otherwise. I haven’t spoken to my father for two years now but I’m hoping he’ll come to terms with everything soon.
I think it was unfair of Colton to tell this to his dad with a camera in his face. It put his dad on the spot and didn't give him the privacy to process such a big revelation. Not everything needs to be filmed and put on the internet.
We don't know if this was a reenactment of the prior coming out. It could be. And many people need to see this so that they think about how to handle the revelation of a gay kid.
I'm happy for people who have these stories. My coming out wasn't the worst story I've heard but it was pretty shitty. My father died with a lot unresolved between us.
@@revolutionhk a terrible human being for calling soMeone out on their abusive past? Cmon. You are so out of touch. You are manipulative and emotionally shaming. That’s much worse. Calling someone a terrible human over a propaganda show? Oh god something g is seriously wrong with you. . And who cares anymore. No one. This show was a flop.

@@cubs9299 yes he is growing into a very handsome man. (It just struck me as funny... Carhartt used to be serious garage mechanic and welder, etc clothes my dad wore, with ground in grease. They were never just fashion wear). Ha!
@@yasmeenm6435 I did the same before I came out.. not exactly rich enough for a GPS but I knew if me an her didn't work out I would have to come out eventually but instead after I went into depression just like him and told my sister I didn't wanna be here anymore. She was scared I'd hurt myself so she told my father and he accepted me exactly the same way. He was hurt I couldn't come talk to him. It happens an the girl I wanted so bad knew I was hurting an forgave me. We are even still friends but I have a boyfriend now and he's my everything. Sucks but you can't change your past only your future. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I really hope he was paid well for this. I appreciate him spreading awareness, but at the same time, coming out is such a private, vulnerable moment. Why would you want cameras on your family, limiting the depth and authenticity of their reactions? If I was part of his family, I'd have made a non-negotiable rule with him after all The Bachelor fallout: I'm NOT having any sincere or meaningful conversations with you if a camera's present... unless you're maybe cutting me a fat cheque. 😁 At some point, the limelight, addictive as it may be, just isn't healthy or helpful.
Meh. Better than the “oh tell us something we don’t know” when I told my parents. I’d been internally agonising over that for two years and it turned out they always knew anyways. Oh well. Live and learn.
Colton you are doing an amazing job. Even for people who came out years ago THIS is really good. I never truly had this kind of conversation with my dad but it would be nice to do so.
Omg I cry 😭 on this I remember me coming out of my Mom when I was 16 yrs old and she thinks I’m just confused even when I was in high school I had a gf and I had to pretend I’m straight about 6 months later I couldn’t hold my feelings anymore I just had to brake up with her and tell her the truth that I’m 100 💯 percent Gay and I felt so much Happier and Free inside and now I never hide myself in a closet anymore because I don’t wanna feel the same feeling pain that i have before
whenever there's a good series, so I don't understand the series lost in space, one of the best I've watched as well as the other good ones, when it works, you never continue. one day a platform of films and series will arrive that knows how to value its subscribers and you will regret it
Whether he's gay or straight he's made some really shitty decisions in his life in regards to how he's treated other people, especially the woman who got the restraining order against him. The stalking & harassment hes done isnt cool at all, and "im gay, i was really struggling" is not an excuse! Hopefully he's making the "right" decisions now and is trying to be a better person. Being a good person has NOTHING to do with your sexuality! I think he's definitely going to have a long road ahead of him, trying to regain his teammates and the publics faith & trust in him. None of us are perfect and one bad decision shouldnt follow you for the rest of your life, but again he's got a long road to travel...
@@Apathymiller giving us a weak hetero take. "Being a good person has NOTHING to do with your sexuality"... but internalized homophobia DOES turn some people into monsters. It's not a coincidence that we get news stories about Republican politicians secretly banging gay dudes - after they publicly condemned homosexuality and campaigned against gay rights. Colton doesn't have a pass for abusing his ex girl... but he was abusing her because of his own fear of admitting that he was gay. I've seen closeted homophobic men do this over and over. It's twisted, it's wrong, but yes - it still has to do with them being gay *and* homophobic. Colton being a closeted, homophobic gay man *IS* related to the rest of his story, you shouldn't ignore that. It's not okay, it's not an excuse, but it's related, and you shouldn't erase that part.
I don’t wanna dislike because it’s gay content (and I’m queer myself) but I wanna dislike because I don’t support him as a person. I need to see more from him to believe he regrets and feels apologetic about what he did. The things he did were horrible. “I am gay and I was struggling” is not an excuse and definitely not an apology enough for me.
Wow!! Do you know how much courage it takes to come out in public; let alone your own Father. I think as Parents we are just afraid for our children. It's hard to be a kid and an Adult in this very judgemental world. I think how the Dad responded was good; but for Colton to do it while filming was not cool. I think their needs to be some discretion until all parties involved have time to process the information being said. I personally would love my child no matter what!! That is my kid. Now if my child killed someone I would still love him but he would have to take complete responsibility for his actions to the victims family and God. As Parents and people we can't just automatically process news and accept it straight away. It takes time. But Love is Love!!! ❤️🙏
And once again it has been proved the most powerful magic love. Unconditional love the most powerful magic given from parents and friends and a soulmate never fails to accept and let u be who u are! As parent it should never matter that your child need to be what u want him to be! Never ever it should matters -it matters that the child your grown up daughter and son is a brave kind and smart one able to communicate and able to find his own luck!
Can you make a Cabbage Patch Kids take the oath of adoption movie please? It based by the commercial! I had one when I was a kid lol and it will be a Netflix film! It’s coming in 2022! Happy early new year Netflix! And make it please!
you guys failed so hard at giving this guy a platform. He's the worst. and leveraging this story is so disgusting. He never really apologized to her. Its gross. Give it to someone who deserves it.
i say this as a lesbian who knows firsthand how terrifying it can be to come out: it is nearly impossible to feel sympathy towards this man. he terrorized, abused and stalked his ex-girlfriend. there is no excuse for that.
People should come out of who they love I myself am straight But I understand how man Like they're scared that their parents or dad or mom won't accept their own kid because they're gay I understand how they feel and it's scary when they come out at first but they have to do it to be a part of your family you need to come out and say that you are in love with guys parents should accept their kids as they are be happy who they are and love is love
So guys guys listen ... so right after this scene the music go on (s1.ep2. around 4min in ) " All of the ways I hurt Did I get lost with you Trying' to find the truth We all need shelter, oh oh" can someone PLEASE tell me the song name ? a thousand bows to him whom ...
⚠️What is the song at the end of episode 1 that goes “Standing out there on the edge, I feel you holding my hand. I know I’ve got nothing to lose cuz I’d never lose you. I need your love more than anything…”
Hi, Netflix ~ This comment has nothing do do with the video ~ I'm just leaving it because its the latest video ~ but anyways ~ will there be a Camp Cretaceous Season 5?
If you don’t love your son jus cus how he is… you never deserved a son. Ever. I was raised by a very homophobic father.. he even turned my mom into one. He said awful things about gays around me.. that I won’t repeat. Well.. God put me in his life to make him accept things he doesn’t understand with grace and love and not hatred and judgment. Now my dad has come around more but I still feel it’s an act jus cus it’s so not accepted to hate gays these days. It will take time to undo the cognitive misalignment he was taught to mirror.. it’s not entirely his fault he was put into a narrow way of thinking
Why do people think it’s appropriate to do this with a camera crew on the person ? It’s SOOOOO out of order. Just have the respect to have a private conversation with them
i see what you saying but i mean he already was featured on The Bachelor which had conversations about who could've been his future wife at the time so its not so odd..
I think when it comes to the release of shows of this nature, it's less about the individual; Netflix, like any corporation, sees a venue to tap into, and they "trend-hop." I agree in the value of private conversation, which is certainly lost in the era of social media presence and celebrity stardom. In whatever situation, there's a higher value in speaking to someone in a one-on-one discussion than speaking to a camera/megaphone; through private communication, you're able to not only speak about yourself, but both analyze the receiving of that information and learn more about yourself and/or whomever you are speaking to.
He obviously needed the safety the cameras provided, to be able to do this at all. Hard to judge if you not have walked in his shoes. Had his family shown open-mindedness and acceptance when he grew up, he would not have been so scared that he had to have a full camera crew present. He was terrified of his own parents not loving him, which is tragic. Also, while they did not know the topic of the conversation, the family did sign up to do this shoot on his show.
Some dudes are spying my smartphone because they stream movies and series on Netflix for free by doing that. Netflix looses hundreds of thousands euros like this
Colton’s Father is a quite the looker….Like the “Marlboro Man” in the commercials. I’d be more into the Dad myself. Aside from that, his Father and Mom have great attitudes about Colton being gay. They show that they love him unconditionally, and Colton’s sexual orientation should not change that love. Besides he came from them and previous generations. It’s been proven that sexual orientation is a thing of nature, not nurturing. God created all of us, gay, straight, black, white, and everything in between.

@@scotscub76 Thank you. I did find happiness; I’m living my life fully gay and nobody can tell me otherwise. I haven’t spoken to my father for two years now but I’m hoping he’ll come to terms with everything soon.
I think it was unfair of Colton to tell this to his dad with a camera in his face. It put his dad on the spot and didn't give him the privacy to process such a big revelation. Not everything needs to be filmed and put on the internet.
We don't know if this was a reenactment of the prior coming out. It could be. And many people need to see this so that they think about how to handle the revelation of a gay kid.
I'm happy for people who have these stories. My coming out wasn't the worst story I've heard but it was pretty shitty. My father died with a lot unresolved between us.
There are already mean comments. If you have nothing nice to say, people, don't say anything at all! 😒
stop censoring people He doesnt deserve this platform and hes dragging cassie back into it for views. Hes disgusting.
@@Buildindie you're the one dragging her back into it. You are a terrible human being.
@@revolutionhk a terrible human being for calling soMeone out on their abusive past? Cmon. You are so out of touch. You are manipulative and emotionally shaming. That’s much worse. Calling someone a terrible human over a propaganda show? Oh god something g is seriously wrong with you. . And who cares anymore. No one. This show was a flop. Move on with your life and find something to do that’s positive, stand up for something that means something stop telling people how to be.
@@Buildindie who cares about cassie? Colton is the reason we're here..Move your fan page to that woman's page, and leave this man's fans alone.JEEZ.
@@nesetans3025 late to the party. This isnt his fan page, excuse me. Stop telling people what to think. not my resp to educate you on his criminal history.
It really doesn't matter what he did in the past. Both him and Cassie have moved on. I'm happy he's being true to himself.
Accountability is accountability. Stop that!
except cassie doesnt feel this way and feels shes being dragged back in for views so it doesnt really matter what you think. He does not deserve this platform.
it does matter if he hasn’t apologised at all and is excusing his own actions.
Colton coming out to his family and seeing their reactions was heartwarming
❤️
But then the rest of the show was cringey af
😅
Awesome moment with your dad!!! I would be supportive of my kids to.
Calton has to be getting paid to wear Carhartt 100% of the time. 😂 LOL... and Bombas socks.
He looks good tho lol!!
@@cubs9299 yes he is growing into a very handsome man. (It just struck me as funny... Carhartt used to be serious garage mechanic and welder, etc clothes my dad wore, with ground in grease. They were never just fashion wear). Ha!
I've been watching the show. I love Colton and support him.
Colton comes off as a super sweet guy. I AM SO HAPPY FOR HIM!
He stalked his ex girlfriend, that’s not sweet guy behaviour
Not really
@@yasmeenm6435 I did the same before I came out.. not exactly rich enough for a GPS but I knew if me an her didn't work out I would have to come out eventually but instead after I went into depression just like him and told my sister I didn't wanna be here anymore. She was scared I'd hurt myself so she told my father and he accepted me exactly the same way. He was hurt I couldn't come talk to him. It happens an the girl I wanted so bad knew I was hurting an forgave me. We are even still friends but I have a boyfriend now and he's my everything. Sucks but you can't change your past only your future. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I remember coming out to my family. Of course I came out as straight, my Mom said we know Chris, we’ve always known 🤓🤓🤓
nobody’s 100% straight don’t kid yourself.
I really hope he was paid well for this. I appreciate him spreading awareness, but at the same time, coming out is such a private, vulnerable moment. Why would you want cameras on your family, limiting the depth and authenticity of their reactions? If I was part of his family, I'd have made a non-negotiable rule with him after all The Bachelor fallout: I'm NOT having any sincere or meaningful conversations with you if a camera's present... unless you're maybe cutting me a fat cheque. 😁 At some point, the limelight, addictive as it may be, just isn't healthy or helpful.
I see where the son got his good looks from 💪1:05
Wonderful 💕
Meh. Better than the “oh tell us something we don’t know” when I told my parents. I’d been internally agonising over that for two years and it turned out they always knew anyways.
Oh well. Live and learn.
Colton you are doing an amazing job. Even for people who came out years ago THIS is really good. I never truly had this kind of conversation with my dad but it would be nice to do so.
Omg I cry 😭 on this I remember me coming out of my Mom when I was 16 yrs old and she thinks I’m just confused even when I was in high school I had a gf and I had to pretend I’m straight about 6 months later I couldn’t hold my feelings anymore I just had to brake up with her and tell her the truth that I’m 100 💯 percent Gay and I felt so much Happier and Free inside and now I never hide myself in a closet anymore because I don’t wanna feel the same feeling pain that i have before
One can only try to understand an equal, judgement occurs from a pedestal🎈
I told my mom at 25 that I like guys and she also said “I don’t know what you want me to say”. Worst response ever.
i would say the exact same thing if i were her position Xd
whenever there's a good series, so I don't understand the series lost in space, one of the best I've watched as well as the other good ones, when it works, you never continue.
one day a platform of films and series will arrive that knows how to value its subscribers and you will regret it
The Dad should have said, your my son and I love you always. ❤
Oh yeah let’s film this
Whether he's gay or straight he's made some really shitty decisions in his life in regards to how he's treated other people, especially the woman who got the restraining order against him. The stalking & harassment hes done isnt cool at all, and "im gay, i was really struggling" is not an excuse! Hopefully he's making the "right" decisions now and is trying to be a better person. Being a good person has NOTHING to do with your sexuality! I think he's definitely going to have a long road ahead of him, trying to regain his teammates and the publics faith & trust in him. None of us are perfect and one bad decision shouldnt follow you for the rest of your life, but again he's got a long road to travel...
I think that’s the point of his coming out and this he probably wants to show us that he willing to
@@nicholasmartinez1958 yep, just kind of have to wait and see at this point
The show's literally about this. People make mistakes.
@@guitreehill exactly
@@Apathymiller giving us a weak hetero take.
"Being a good person has NOTHING to do with your sexuality"... but internalized homophobia DOES turn some people into monsters.
It's not a coincidence that we get news stories about Republican politicians secretly banging gay dudes - after they publicly condemned homosexuality and campaigned against gay rights.
Colton doesn't have a pass for abusing his ex girl... but he was abusing her because of his own fear of admitting that he was gay. I've seen closeted homophobic men do this over and over. It's twisted, it's wrong, but yes - it still has to do with them being gay *and* homophobic.
Colton being a closeted, homophobic gay man *IS* related to the rest of his story, you shouldn't ignore that. It's not okay, it's not an excuse, but it's related, and you shouldn't erase that part.
wow - very emotional! good luck - big hug!
Wow they look the same lol. Good/lucky for him, his father was so cool with all that.
What is that song that played after this scene… “All of the ways I hurt, did I get lost with you, trying to find the truth.. we all need shelter…”
Yeah my dad could never accept me. He just doesn’t want to confront it ever. We have never talked about it and I’m nearing 40 in few years
it will be a weight lifted off your shoulders eventually
Who doesn't feel this on any level from both ends
Poor guy😕 i hope he finds his way.
Can we PLEASE acknowledge that Gus Kenworthy is the real star of this show???
He was, they would have made an awesome couple
He said from 6 yo...I remember loking this guy at kindergarten..not sexual...but liking...my entire life ...has been watching me on 2nd person.
I don’t wanna dislike because it’s gay content (and I’m queer myself) but I wanna dislike because I don’t support him as a person. I need to see more from him to believe he regrets and feels apologetic about what he did. The things he did were horrible. “I am gay and I was struggling” is not an excuse and definitely not an apology enough for me.
What did he do?
@@chancemathews7057 curious as well
@@chancemathews7057 google the details but basically stalked/harassed his "gf" from his lil tv stunt
not all gay content is made the same. feel free
@El Topo hurt and abuse aren't the same. Keep up
Someone tell me if the series talks about aly raisman? otherwise I don't see it
I remember wendy williams hinting on it him still being a virgin at 25.. man i felt it toooo.
good thing cameras were there. no way would his reaction isn't worse
HIS DAD IS DYING INSIDE LOL YOU KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT
Pretty much how your mom felt when you popped out and she saw you….just…utter…disappointment…
@@milkbunnies SSSSHHHHHHH QUIET SHIT STICK. HAVE FUN IN HELL. ITS IN THE BIBLE
Wow!! Do you know how much courage it takes to come out in public; let alone your own Father. I think as Parents we are just afraid for our children. It's hard to be a kid and an Adult in this very judgemental world. I think how the Dad responded was good; but for Colton to do it while filming was not cool. I think their needs to be some discretion until all parties involved have time to process the information being said. I personally would love my child no matter what!! That is my kid. Now if my child killed someone I would still love him but he would have to take complete responsibility for his actions to the victims family and God. As Parents and people we can't just automatically process news and accept it straight away. It takes time. But Love is Love!!! ❤️🙏
He is so brave live your true self and be happy you only live once
And once again it has been proved the most powerful magic love. Unconditional love the most powerful magic given from parents and friends and a soulmate never fails to accept and let u be who u are! As parent it should never matter that your child need to be what u want him to be! Never ever it should matters -it matters that the child your grown up daughter and son is a brave kind and smart one able to communicate and able to find his own luck!
What is the last song on finle episode with lyrics "open up your mind, open up your heart, open up your soul..." i can't find but i need it soo much 😅
Can you make a Cabbage Patch Kids take the oath of adoption movie please? It based by the commercial! I had one when I was a kid lol and it will be a Netflix film! It’s coming in 2022! Happy early new year Netflix! And make it please!
His dad is handsome!
Good going Colton!!!!
you guys failed so hard at giving this guy a platform. He's the worst. and leveraging this story is so disgusting. He never really apologized to her. Its gross. Give it to someone who deserves it.
@Zombiechris no. And stop censoring people. You're verbally abusive and something is wrong with you.
Hi! How are you?
A new week has begun. I hope health and good things will be with you this week, too. ^O^
His dad used the word hammered ..that's so sexual ..turned Colton on hearing that triggers the thought to action ...thrusting ..
when will the kipa and miracle time series get a sequel?
i say this as a lesbian who knows firsthand how terrifying it can be to come out: it is nearly impossible to feel sympathy towards this man. he terrorized, abused and stalked his ex-girlfriend. there is no excuse for that.
Yup.
if there isn't an awkward facetime apology then what was the point really--
@Giovanni De Luca He didn't stay in his damn lane. so everyone can have their opinion,he put his life on national TV. What do you expect
@Giovanni De Luca this is my lane. domestic violence is often overlooked. he’s trying to cover it up with his sexuality. not gonna work.
It says a lot about you if you can't feel sympathy towards a man who was forced into the closet by a very homophobic society.
You’re not going to get “hammered” for this ..
When Trixie & Katya watch this contrived MESS of a show and their video pulls more views >>>
where can i watch aside from netflix?
Sooooo he told his father for the first time with a camera crew behind them???? You have to be a fool to belive this
Gay?! In this economy?!
LOL 😂
Hey Netflix why No English title on Foreigners movies????
People should come out of who they love I myself am straight But I understand how man Like they're scared that their parents or dad or mom won't accept their own kid because they're gay I understand how they feel and it's scary when they come out at first but they have to do it to be a part of your family you need to come out and say that you are in love with guys parents should accept their kids as they are be happy who they are and love is love
So you mean to say cameramen are all over the place while they're doing this and his father never got a hint pm what's going on or going to happen?
So guys guys listen ... so right after this scene the music go on (s1.ep2. around 4min in ) " All of the ways I hurt Did I get lost with you Trying' to find the truth We all need shelter, oh oh" can someone PLEASE tell me the song name ? a thousand bows to him whom ...
Why is this obvious acting and scripted? Ik hes actually gay but this seems really fake and weird(not natural)
Y’all messed up big time with how you streamed JOJO part 6
Fantastic. Awesome
⚠️What is the song at the end of episode 1 that goes “Standing out there on the edge, I feel you holding my hand. I know I’ve got nothing to lose cuz I’d never lose you. I need your love more than anything…”
Wow! What that must have been like. I got disowned.
Hi, Netflix ~ This comment has nothing do do with the video ~ I'm just leaving it because its the latest video ~ but anyways ~ will there be a Camp Cretaceous Season 5?
It's a really good show - lol
I can’t believe this is still an issue in 2021. WTF?
Yeah it’s really sad that I am illegal in 63 countries and 15 of them get me killed
Be yourself 👍
If you don’t love your son jus cus how he is… you never deserved a son. Ever. I was raised by a very homophobic father.. he even turned my mom into one. He said awful things about gays around me.. that I won’t repeat. Well.. God put me in his life to make him accept things he doesn’t understand with grace and love and not hatred and judgment. Now my dad has come around more but I still feel it’s an act jus cus it’s so not accepted to hate gays these days. It will take time to undo the cognitive misalignment he was taught to mirror.. it’s not entirely his fault he was put into a narrow way of thinking
Boa tarde, um abela história feliz. Adorei o vídeo.
It's okay for you. The PTSD and shame you caused Cassie knowing you were gay and using her was selfish. Though we all make mistakes.
I think having PTSD all because somebody put a tracker device under her car is a stretch
About time it’s a white gay story
Why do people think it’s appropriate to do this with a camera crew on the person ?
It’s SOOOOO out of order. Just have the respect to have a private conversation with them
What’s right and appropriate for other people is not for you to say. Not a hard concept to grasp. Live and let live.
i see what you saying but i mean he already was featured on The Bachelor which had conversations about who could've been his future wife at the time so its not so odd..
I think when it comes to the release of shows of this nature, it's less about the individual; Netflix, like any corporation, sees a venue to tap into, and they "trend-hop."
I agree in the value of private conversation, which is certainly lost in the era of social media presence and celebrity stardom. In whatever situation, there's a higher value in speaking to someone in a one-on-one discussion than speaking to a camera/megaphone; through private communication, you're able to not only speak about yourself, but both analyze the receiving of that information and learn more about yourself and/or whomever you are speaking to.
He obviously needed the safety the cameras provided, to be able to do this at all. Hard to judge if you not have walked in his shoes. Had his family shown open-mindedness and acceptance when he grew up, he would not have been so scared that he had to have a full camera crew present. He was terrified of his own parents not loving him, which is tragic. Also, while they did not know the topic of the conversation, the family did sign up to do this shoot on his show.
@@maaritnissila3010 that’s very true.
Do you know Jr Calderon?
HI Netflix ! Can you please give Canada's Riverdale last seasons french dubs please thanks
Plot twist. *shotgun pumps* - 💥
I hope that Colton keeps the faith, and if he hasn't yet, eliminate pervy Gus from his life.
This should of been told privately. SMH
Why are these two bright red? Are they tanning? What is that about?
Dis inspirational. As a gay man who is also black I have a lot mor struggle than other ppl here
I’d just say kool. Then ask if he can remove my phone number lol 😂🤣
QUAL NOME DA MÚSICA QUE TOCA NO FINAL DO PRIMEIRO EPISÓDIO????
Some dudes are spying my smartphone because they stream movies and series on Netflix for free by doing that. Netflix looses hundreds of thousands euros like this
My logic women have buttholes too.
Colton’s Father is a quite the looker….Like the “Marlboro Man” in the commercials. I’d be more into the Dad myself. Aside from that, his Father and Mom have great attitudes about Colton being gay. They show that they love him unconditionally, and Colton’s sexual orientation should not change that love. Besides he came from them and previous generations. It’s been proven that sexual orientation is a thing of nature, not nurturing. God created all of us, gay, straight, black, white, and everything in between.
