As an older gay man it’s beautiful to see younger people having it so much easier with coming out to parents. I know it’s not always like this but in time hopefully it will be even better. It was what I dreamed of as a young gay man.
I’m an 80 year old grandmother. I have a granddaughter who wants to transition and a grandson who already has. Two beautiful people who deserve all the love and respect I can give them. I can only pray the world will soon agree. Bless you and I hope your family has realized what a special person you are. ❤️
I can totally relate. I’m an Asian mix and in my younger years I used to hide my bf or pretend we were just good friends! Now, I am happily married to my husband. We r married for 2 years and 13 years as living partners. My mum and sister gave me away at our wedding. Anyway, Great story thank you! Love , peace❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🏳️🌈🇦🇺🇵🇭
I'm proud to read your story, I wish I had more guts, when I was younger, and not hide my boyfriends, like many boys do. Now I'm 60, and sad and lonely 😞
Loved this so much. Social media like RUclips is a great means to promote acceptance, embrace, respect, love and social justice for millions of LBGT folks, everywhere, who undergo unnecessary stress and waist so much time of their life in hiding, covering up and suppressing. Thank you for doing exactly that with this movie.
Wow that cut deep. So many young gay asian men and women have to face this exact senario. If only all asian parents would see the good in their gay children just like the father did in this movie. The father had already lost his wife so it was his choice would he also lose his son. Beautifull portrail of reality. Parents ask yourself is it really worth the loss by cutting all ties with your gay child? Let your heart be the ruler not your head. Like a menu in a restaurant not everyone choses the same meal. It's our difference that makes whom we are gay,straight yellow,black or white. At the end of the day we all strive for one thing unconditional love.It's what makes us human 🏳️🌈
I grew up in a family that didn't discuss things like sexual orientation. We were a family, we loved each other no matter what and that was that. I had two gay family members come out to me over the years. Well one was a little obvious, but as long as he was happy and safe, sexual topics were never discussed. Didn't matter to my parents or siblings if I was dating a girl or a guy. There was no obligation to come out to anybody, the love was there regardless. If someone wants to talk about guys to there father, that's up to them. I think because guys tend to worry about there lifestyles being found out and what there parents would think about it, that they automatically think its something they should or shouldn't tell them, then it becomes an issue. Some people already know there parents thoughts on the subject. Really never thought there was any obligation to let my parents know that I was interested in girls, it might have been assumed, but still not something I felt I had to clarify to them at any point. Maybe if there was a marriage involved, now that would be something nice to tell your parents or a baby on the way or how you got a raise at work... yeah so... orientation was one of those things that never got talked about growing up. I do see the horrible oppression and hurtful feelings cultures have towards gay men and women, the hardcore roman catholic families, how in the Philippines families outcast and disown children and I do hope someday that will all end, probably a pipe dream, but maybe an acceptance, a tolerance of some sort even would be nice. Something other than painful emotional segregation and ignorance. My family member gave me a little insight into the gay lifestyle and it was extremely ugly to say the least.
Im asian and most of my friends are gay. Im pan (been with girls before). Im pretty sure our parrents suspects/knows our sexual orientation, we just dont talk about it. And we dont bring our partners home to meet them. But they know. Maybe we re some of the lucky ones with parents that are kinda accepting. Others arent so lucky.
My partner, who is Taiwanese and I enjoyed your film very much. It captured many of the cultural difficulties in coming out to your family and seeking acceptance. Keep up the good work, we look forward to your next film, and wish you great success!
We are all equals only the ignorance and the lacking of respect for each other make yours life miserable,keep fight for you rights, gays in other countries it been killed only because they are gays.
It's something about the Asian household setting that is just too relatable. I teared up when when the Dad was talking to the picture. I wish all of us would have more accepting parents not just for coming out but in general. But watching such a beautiful film makes me hopeful for a better tomorrow.
Thank you so much for a positive film about young love. I'm 65 and gay and we never had that kind of openness in my youth. I am so proud of you all for writing, producing and acting in such a beautiful story.
Beautiful. Tears. So happy for the acceptance and inclusion into the family. It wasn't like this in my time, but it is wonderful to see more and more bl series and shorts showing understanding parents and real families being together in their diversity. Loved it, thank u so much!! ❤
I'm in tears after watching the short film, cuz I have same experience as Alex.I was born in a tradition chinese family just as Alex. My parents also want me to make my ancestor proud,make my family proud.They want me to married a woman and get a baby.But I couldn't.I knew I was gay from a very young age, and I still couldn't get the nerve to tell they I am gay.Cuz I knew if i told them, they would definitely kill me, and they will kick me out of the family. It is very difficult for them to accept me as gay. I don't know when this can be ended :(
Really sorry to hear about your situation. Not sure how old are you. But maybe things can change, when you are financially independent from your family? We are sending you lots of love!
I denied the truth to myself and took me years to accept it myself even after I was financially independent . You too will reach there . Now I have found someone , and it does get better. haven't told my family , God knows if I ever will.
This short is so beautiful and the actors all did an amazing job. I never thought I would one day find a film featuring a gay couple with a young Asian boy being accepted by his father. It has always been my biggest fear. It brought me a lot of hope for a life I will embrace and love. I'm into tears. Thank you for having shared this and made it possible. Have they ever thought about making further films with this story?
The first three and a half years, were more hidden, or in secret, then they got more daring, lying in bed together, and almost get caught, which leads to their having this conversation.
It’s the third time I watch this film, and it still makes me cry. I have been in Kyle’s position, but unfortunately, it does not always end like this. It was very hard for me who was so open about my relationship with my family to understand what my partner was going through with their family. There are things that evolve slowly and can’t control. The important thing is that everybody respects themselves and others in the process.
I've always loved this short film. So elegant and well written. The father is an amazing man with a good heart. Wish it was like this for every kid having to come out. Hopefully one day we won't have to come out anymore.
On a lighter note. ...Asians sure like to dirty a lot of dishes for meals don't they?? Hahaha and who was the genius that decided hey, two sticks are perfect to eat tiny grains of rice and slippery noodles in soup?? Absolute insanity. Hahahahaha
Whom do you mean with the term "Asians"? People in the asian part of Russia, Turks, Persians, Indians, Afghans, Arabs or just the Taiwanese family shown in this short film? 😉 They are all very different in their eating styles... No reason to generalize.
Oh my god finally one with a happy ending. I’ve tried to find so many and out of the tens of lesbian/gay short films I’ve watched I found *three* that had a happy ending. It’s not representation if you kill one of us off at the end every time. So thank you to the creator, for giving us a happy ending.
I love a happy ending. A really good film capturing the real pressures and tensions of coming to terms with an overpowering love with another person of the same sex. Love is uncontrollable.
OMG, that Asian guy is from Taiwan!!! Taiwan is an incredible and amazing country. And all I want to say is no matter who you are, Taiwanese will always open to you and accept any different sexuality person.
That cuts deep. I wish my father was as accepting as this. Nine years ago, he told me that he would rather have a drug addict or a criminal son than a gay one. Over the years, he managed to come to term with my sexuality. I tried to make him proud in my own way - finishing my doctoral degree and got a tenure, helping him with my research. But he never said anything. When my brother got married, my father looked so happy and told me, ”Now I feel like a real father!” Sigh...
Not everyone has what it takes to overcome the prejudices that they were raised with. Try to keep the lines of communication open but don't let his prejudices poison your own sense of self worth. It sounds like he's learned a bit. It may just take him a lot longer.
please, don't misunderstand your father... i am writing from Palermo (PA.), the main city of an island in the middle of mediterranean sea called sicily... we have an uninterrupted history long about 40 centuries! we are very conservative, but in our long history we had about 70 different ethnicities that got to live together... so, we are conservative, but in a dialogical way: we never forget our past, but we are a land of tolerance... BEING CONSERVATIVE AND BEING SCIOVINISTIC AREN'T THE SAME "BEING"! our glbt movement was officially established in 1980 by the founding of our arcigay, but the arcigay was constituted by the union of various different entities yet pre-existing! i can say that our glbt movement is absolutely the most ancient of the whole europe... so, longest for culture, first for tolerance... try to be introspective to your dad: what brings him so rough against our world? hate? anger? ignorance? unsureness? don't see at him as an enemy, but try to seek the enemy that is within him... fight against your real enemy, not against his wrong fatherhood! maybe, in the future, when your brother will be so busy due to his family, when your dad will be so old to need to be aided, your dad will have you more closer and more "aidful" than your brother, and will learn to appreciate and love you in a so deeper way to be able to compensate the past sadness...
What a beautiful story! I hope that everyone have a beautiful story like this one. We need more acceptance, our kids and teens need us. They need a loving family. Take care! Blessings 🙏❤️🌹🌈💜
How lucky am I that this short film popped into my playlist for the second time. I watched it two years ago and loved it. I watched again and loved it even more!
I came out to my dad a few years ago and it wasnt easy (mom died when I was 10) but he just knew ... its taken him years to come to terms with it but hes got there and accepted (in his own way) every boyfriend I've had since.
Lo principal es respecto los unos a los otros reconocer que somos iguales como seres humanos, y respectar las ideas y gustos de otros y acabar con la hipocresia,de la sociedad. Evitar families disfuncional, hijos no deseados por cubrir las aparencias.
EL PAPA ES UN GENIO. ADMITE QUE LOS SENTIMIENTOS DE SU HIJO Y SU NOVIO, NO SON MALOS, SINO NATURALES Y LOS APOYA COMO BABA. FELICITACIONES POR EL VIDEO ....................
I was lucky because my Father Accepted me of who I am. Since when I was young my father always supporting me for the things that I wanted to do. This film makes me remember of him. I know he's proud watching me in Heaven. He died when I was 12 and now I am 19.
I hope more people will understand that it's just Love it doesn't matter if it's of the opposite sex or same-sex, and more people will understand and support their decisions, well done 🤗👏🙆♀️💜
This is such a beautiful film about coming out. In a perfect world, it would be cute like this. It should be. I was fine when my son came out, but my husband is from a different culture and still struggles 7 years later.
--My heart when its happy ending: ahh... happy ending gay movie really cuteeee but its reminds me how sad I am cause still single and remind me how my family treat me if they find out that I'm a gay knowing that they are religious muslem :') --My heart when its sad ending: why gay couple always end badly in movies T.T I can't..... T.T --My brain: SO WHAT KIND OF ENDING YOU WANNA WATCH BIYETCHHHH
I don't know where you're from? But in the most western cities you will find places where you can meet (young) gays and in some of this places also a good personal support, in the case you're struggling with yourself. Create your own happy ending für your (gay)life. Wish you all the best
@@albrechtkonrad5496 thanks, Im from Indonesia (south east asia) where 80%of the population is Muslem and lot of people still think all queer stuff is taboo, even there is a region in Indonesia made law where LGBT couple who got caught having "adult thing" will be punished with 100 lashes because they has sharia-based law.
Thank you so much for posting such beautiful short film. I needed something like this today and I guess a lot of us need to watch a different kind of gay ending....A happy one for a change.
I am so annoyed by this Kyle complaining that Alex "doesn't want to proud of them in front of the family" like why does he pretend to be stupid? It is not about being proud or not it is about not wanting to loose your family, that's so different
One of my best favorite gay short films very simple beautiful not so much drama directly to the pint of being accepted by papa and that’s all makes me 🥺🥺😍thanks for sharing such master piece CONGRATULATIONS 🎉
Muito lindo este filme, pois é o coração de um pai que conhece seu filho. Me identifiquei com minha tia avó paterna que pertence a uma religião tradicional e quando eu contei sobre minha orientação sexual ela simplesmente me abraçou e me disse que Deus é perfeito e Ele me aceita como eu sou e como ela não aceitaria? Somente disse que quando se Ama não existe condições para amar e que o AMOR é o sentimento mais puro que temos. Moramos juntos até hoje graças á Deus. Ela se dá muito bem comigo e com meu companheiro.
I was...and still am in the same situation...Ive been with my taiwanese partner for over 10 years and we used to sleep at his parents home everytime we went back to taiwan...we got married 2 years ago and they still dont know...but I wont put any pressure on him!

This is a 10 minute version of The Wedding Banquet. I love it!
Gracias queerblick por la labor que hacéis ayudando a jóvenes LGTB de forma altruista difundiendo este tipo de cortos. Precioso por cierto.. ❤️🇪🇸
What a cute film! In most films, gay relationships end tragically. Nice to have an uplifting ending.
I wish my family would accept me for who i am and accept the person i love 😔😔😔😔 how i envy these kind of parents
Hopefully it will be that case one day! We send you lots of love.
I came out to my dad a few years ago and it wasnt easy (mom died when I was 10) but he just knew ... its taken him years to come to terms with it but hes got there and accepted (in his own way) every boyfriend I've had since.
I wish they will someday, stay strong😘
thank you all guys
be my freind
Well that film brought tears 😢. A beautiful story. Great cast and performances! ❤
Dad's character was awesome!
His mom would have said: "Alex! No dating or romance before finishing Med School!" :P
Man this is so cute I wish I was the Asian guy, the white guy is adorable.
Hi how are you
ALL of the 3 are adorable.
white fever
@@vHumboldt77 You mean his father?
im from asia
Kyle is so damn hot!
Yeeeees
Yes....sir!!!
Ici
Yes he is
Because he's white
Why did the dad just randomly open his sons door. Teenagers need privacy.
We totally agree. It is a behaviour that can unfortunately be found among many parents.
Ahhmm... Asian parents..
@@ajjurahen2028 oh, you would wonder about parents from other continents...
my parents disagree
@Mohammed Al Nayeem imma 20 n well yes no privacy, I'm used to it
Well this was just wonderful. So happy to have been surprised by the ending. Everyone should watch. Thank you!
Me before i watched the vid: "How you gonna be a straight A student?"
Me after:"Not so straight now? Huh?"
That was the cutest film I have ever seen
El amor siempre está allí, solo tenemos que valorar ese sentimiento que nos ofrecen, no solo de una pareja si no también ese amor de familia ❤❣
Lo principal es respecto los unos a los otros reconocer que somos iguales como seres humanos, y respectar las ideas y gustos de otros y acabar con la hipocresia,de la sociedad. Evitar families disfuncional, hijos no deseados por cubrir las aparencias.
This really hit me deep, and now I'm crying. Wow (crying..) what a short film💖💙💚💛💜
EL PAPA ES UN GENIO. ADMITE QUE LOS SENTIMIENTOS DE SU HIJO Y SU NOVIO, NO SON MALOS, SINO NATURALES Y LOS APOYA COMO BABA. FELICITACIONES POR EL VIDEO ....................
omg, cutest gay short film that I ever have seen, love this. And the dad's reaction is just soo super cute omgg . my heart is melting
I was lucky because my Father Accepted me of who I am. Since when I was young my father always supporting me for the things that I wanted to do. This film makes me remember of him. I know he's proud watching me in Heaven. He died when I was 12 and now I am 19.
Congratulations Ed.
You are blessed to have had such loving father.
Oh my goodness! This made me cry. So beautiful.
When two people love each other, they give happiness to others
Que bello corto!!! Nunca dejemos de expresar nuestras emociones, es lo importante para seguir vivos!!!
Finally a gay film where my heart didn't broke ❤
You know there’s a lot of silly crap on RUclips but… That was well done and quitebeautiful! Thank you for that❤️
@ George, very beautiful. It warms my heart. I love sharing with friends.
Ouch, you have got me crying. A 67 year old gay man. Beautiful.
I hope more people will understand that it's just Love it doesn't matter if it's of the opposite sex or same-sex,
and more people will understand and support their decisions,
well done 🤗👏🙆♀️💜
This is such a beautiful film about coming out. In a perfect world, it would be cute like this. It should be. I was fine when my son came out, but my husband is from a different culture and still struggles 7 years later.
--My heart when its happy ending: ahh... happy ending gay movie really cuteeee but its reminds me how sad I am cause still single and remind me how my family treat me if they find out that I'm a gay knowing that they are religious muslem :')
--My heart when its sad ending: why gay couple always end badly in movies T.T I can't..... T.T
--My brain: SO WHAT KIND OF ENDING YOU WANNA WATCH BIYETCHHHH
Rama Diarto , are you out to your closest friends, I hope so. Your parents will understand someday.
Don't think you are alone. Not everyone lives like the ones depicted in this film. Life is a struggle for us. Be patient.
I don't know where you're from? But in the most western cities you will find places where you can meet (young) gays and in some of this places also a good personal support, in the case you're struggling with yourself. Create your own happy ending für your (gay)life. Wish you all the best
@@jameskantor0459 thanks, I already out to few close friends :)
@@albrechtkonrad5496 thanks, Im from Indonesia (south east asia) where 80%of the population is Muslem and lot of people still think all queer stuff is taboo, even there is a region in Indonesia made law where LGBT couple who got caught having "adult thing" will be punished with 100 lashes because they has sharia-based law.
suddenly, it feels so liberating coming out to the very people you care about. this is a great story! ♥️♥️♥️
This made me cry...a happy ending..Its rare to find one
When the dad just handed over the ring and hugged the kid I’m heart hurt I wanted to cry
Thank you so much for posting such beautiful short film. I needed something like this today and I guess a lot of us need to watch a different kind of gay ending....A happy one for a change.
This was wonderful! So sweet, cute guys and a perfect ending. The only shame is...
...I can only give it one thumbs up. 👍🏼
ok i'm crying, i wish my story could be like this
I've seen this story on Todd Lien's Channel before. And I like him. He is not only a good artist he also a very good person. 🤗
Love u Todd 💖
Do you know what the other actor's name is, the blond one?
@@jorgeavila9682 well I'm not sure. But I searched and and I found his name is 'Zach Cramblit'.
Have a great day.
That was absolutely lovely! Bravo to everyone involved!
If only real life was so sweet.. ty hugz from Canada 💖
Very touching short film. Nicely written and nicely acted by all three. Congratulations.
That was beautiful!!! One thing for sure...a great parent doesn't need translation because its universal!!!💝
What a wonderful short film. Great job! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I love happy endings for gay/LGBT movies who agrees
A family of 3 men:
Father, son and son-in-law!
Beautiful and wonderful !!!
I am so annoyed by this Kyle complaining that Alex "doesn't want to proud of them in front of the family" like why does he pretend to be stupid? It is not about being proud or not it is about not wanting to loose your family, that's so different
thank you.
This storyline is so important and reflects truly the chinese culture. What a nice short film x
I am a bi Asian, and struggling to find the courage to come out...
@@tylerou4499 hi
That was so good, what a sweet ending!🏳️🌈
I'm gay and single and this makes me feel alot better thanks all to who made this video ot was uplifting
One of my best favorite gay short films very simple beautiful not so much drama directly to the pint of being accepted by papa and that’s all makes me 🥺🥺😍thanks for sharing such master piece CONGRATULATIONS 🎉
As sweet as the ending was, there's no way I would have stuck around for four years as someone's dirty little secret...
If you truly love someone you stick around but I understand what u mean
I would if it were an amazing and cool bro.. 🤓👍
I like how it breaks with the "every Asian parent is a conservative bigot" stereotype
They are ..In other ways..😑
Muito lindo este filme, pois é o coração de um pai que conhece seu filho. Me identifiquei com minha tia avó paterna que pertence a uma religião tradicional e quando eu contei sobre minha orientação sexual ela simplesmente me abraçou e me disse que Deus é perfeito e Ele me aceita como eu sou e como ela não aceitaria? Somente disse que quando se Ama não existe condições para amar e que o AMOR é o sentimento mais puro que temos. Moramos juntos até hoje graças á Deus. Ela se dá muito bem comigo e com meu companheiro.
What a beautiful story. I teared up at the kiss.
Wow, I just watch this and it brought me to tears. Simply amazing. Great job.
I was...and still am in the same situation...Ive been with my taiwanese partner for over 10 years and we used to sleep at his parents home everytime we went back to taiwan...we got married 2 years ago and they still dont know...but I wont put any pressure on him!
This was so awesome.....Thanks for this film. It really is a tear jerker but in a good way.
OMG! This hit me in the guts...I am not used to gay stories ending happy. Bawling my freakin eyes out right now...
brb...crying 🤧 thank you for sharing this!
A beautiful, short-short film about coming out. ❤ I loved it.
