Being gay and out, makes you original. No hypocrisy, no pretense, no deceit. So you attract authentic people to yourself ❤
Since when did gays have to be these pure little unicorns?
@@brijmsnthis is an individual story not everyone has it gays are like anyone else
Everybody thinks they are so goddamn original.
Completely agree. You also repel homophobes, which, to be honest, is one of the best parts after coming out 😆❤
@@brijmsnDID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WROTE YOU D*** 🍑! IS NOT ABOUT BEING A UNICORN IS ABOUT BEING YOURSELF AND NOT A HYPOCRITE!!!
I love being gay and I would never change. I'm also autistic. I belong to 2 amazing communities. Being part of them has taught me a lot of valuable lessons and I have met a lot of wonderful people I've been able to share my experiences with. What I love about being gay is: 1-I don't have to worry about getting anyone pregnant. 2-I am more aware of what social pressure is and therefore know how to tell between personal needs and goals, and rules dictated by society. 3-I have been able to develop more empathy towards other people because I have felt vulnerable in the past and I don't want others to feel the same way. There are more points but I can't think of all of them right now 😅😂. I loved your video! It's very inspiring and supportive. Every single gay man should watch it. Thank you for sharing your views with all of us! Sending hugs and kisses ❤️❤️😘😘🤗🤗🫂🫂xoxoxoxo
That was completely true...l think the reasons that you said are controversial about gay men in my experience...
Hi, I know very little about autism. Do autistic people have sex? Do they want to?
@@DonnieChoi I’m not going to go into any depth with my response as I myself am undiagnosed, and therefore not fit to speak at length on the subject, but starting with the presumption your question is sincere and asked in good faith (which it appears to be) in short: *of course!* 🙂
Do you watch the Good Doctor, the character Sean is autistic and on the show he's going to be a father.
Gay Forever ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I used to wish I wasn’t gay when I was a teenager. Now at almost 25, I can’t imagine not being gay! I love that it taught me to love myself unconditionally
ditto
What's s good about being a butthole chaser. Sounds like a mess.
❤ loving yourself is everything instead of making other relax
As a gay man who is comfortable in his skin, I can be as feminine or masculine as I feel. My voice is deep and I game, but I also love drag race and housewives shit! Straight men are so much more limited.
So true!
You are so right. I'm gay I can be masculine and I can be effeminate. I can strap on a tool belt and work on the house put on an apron and clean house. I can be a real bitch or a bastard. you get my point. I'm out at work they know i have a husband. And I like that I don't need to worry about being outed! I'm happy being gay. My biggest fear growing up was that no guy would want to have sex with me, Boy was I wrong!
Soccer, booze n tits…
I’m 68 years old and I marched in many many protests and later many parades I am proud that I’m gay, and Support has always my rights and all human rights
What's s good about being a butthole chaser. Sounds like a mess.
In my experience, being gay has opened up my mind and conversations I don't think I would have had. I'm a better son, friend, cousin, etc to my female loved ones by being more empathic and supportive of their rights the way they are of mine.
That's amazing! I'm so happy to hear you had such an eye opening journey. I also think my openness and empathy are a result of my own journey with being gay, so I completely get it. Thanks for sharing. Also, I don't know why, but your comment sounded so poetic and beautiful.❤
Thanks for speaking out. I'm gay and 29, came out as a kid. Much love to you!
You're welcome, always! I'm proud of you for being so brave and your authentic self from a young age 🥰 And thanks for your support. Much more love to you!❤
Why I love being gay:
❤ Self-awareness
❤ Better Relationships.
❤ Supportive community
❤ Gay brotherhood and sisterhood.
❤ Love yourself❤ And remember, being gay is beautiful❤ Embrace your uniqueness and love life❤
😊
Yes ❤
Religious people have zero self awareness. And they are too craven to hold themselves to the same standards they hold other people to.
#3 and 4?
Embrace your uniqueness and love life ❤️ best advice 👌🏼
I love being Gay, It gives me a very different lens to view the world through and allows me to better understand those who are different or marginalized. I'm aware that as a Gay white male in the Pacific NW I am very privileged to not face many of the challenges Queer people face but it has allowed me to create conversation with those who do not understand people in our community.
I wish more people could understand and see that being different from the norm is one of the greatest powers you can have.
I completely agree with you, being different is what makes us so special 😎Thanks for weighing in and sharing your experience and views, I really appreciate it!
There's the rub, you're a gay white male, it's much different for gay men of color.

Hi
We all love being Gay. I am proud gay. I have Boyfriend who loves me physically and most importantly emotionally.
So happy for you! wish both of you guys the best🥰
@@matraeisi thank you 😊
@@matraeisiI've told my friend Liam how i felt about him and he said i wasn't the only gay man to fall in love with a straight man like him
Hi
We love you being gay, Matin! I love being gay because we have persevered against so many people working against us.
I used to be an expert at loving somebody else, I used to be a black belt beating up myself. Now I’ve come to realize to accept myself for who I am
I've been there too. Coming out was the best thing I've ever done
So beautifully written! Thanks for sharing❤️ I'm glad you've finally found yourself🥹
What's s good about being a butthole chaser. Sounds like a mess.
I am very sad I was born gay . My life has been a total misery , suffering loneliness , discrimination , ridicule , mental illness. I know a lot of men in the same position .
I'm so sorry for that 💔💔💔💔💔 I send you all my support my dear Gay mate ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 I hope you can be well soon ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Hey I feel the same way. I'm here if you need to talk. ❤️
stop being a victim....no one cares
@@dobbynp Bye
@@dubon9999 bye.....crybaby
I am really glad I found your channel. I loved this because coming out late in life, after two marriages, I found myself... and the gay community truly, is really supportive. I don't have a large number of gay friends at this point, but the ones I have... have my back. I love your videos and it doesn't hurt that you are really cute too! 🤩
He is the definition of cuteness overload
I'm so happy that you're living you're best life now. It's a journey to get there.
@@XxSebaztianxX I love that little laugh/giggle he has. And his sense of humor.
I'm so happy for you and that you've finally found yourself! I'm also really glad that you were able to find amazing gay friends who've got your back 🥳Also, thanks for your love and support, and for the compliment🥰 I really appreciate it! I'm pretty sure you're hella cute yourself❤
@@XxSebaztianxXThank youu🥹, likewise❤️
I love being gay as well. I have gotten to meet and/or understand some of the most authentic, reflective, and often handsome individuals who have been through a great deal of personal if not somewhat traumatic development. We are still here and, obviously, still going to be gay haha, so why not be happy about it? Have a great day, Matin!
"Obviously, still going to be gay" was so good! 😂 Thanks for weighing in, and I hope you have an amazing day, Jeremy!
What's s good about being a butthole chaser. Sounds like a mess.
The brotherhood thing>>> Haven't commented this before but yea, I agree. Watching your videos does feel like having a big gay bro who's there to guide me and share his experiences. Ty for making these videos!
I feel so honored to be called your big gay bro 😭 I got your back always ❤
Speaking of advantages of being gay is that I donno why but most of gay people are extremely good at reading non verbal language
omg yes😂this was a really good one!!!!!!
I love how positive your videos are, and you are so right about everything! Being gay really gives you a different outlook on life and I attribute so much of my personality to being gay, which is why it's so important to accept and embrace it.
Agreed, very well said!😍
You're right - many of us focus on the negative. Thanks for the positive reminders!
You're welcome, always! and I completely agree with you that we need more positivity! ❤
I am always super impressed by your maturity, genuineness and ability to communicate effectively. You hit the nail on the head with all of your points. I love being gay and always have. I’m not camp but I can be and sometimes put it on at parties without a care in the world. I love the freedom of being me. I love being with my friends - the brotherhood and sisterhood you mentioned - where we share so much in common. Strangers fighting for us: wow, amazing insight. Like you, I came to that conclusion in my early 20s and it was liberating and I have so much respect for everyone who does it, which has included me ever since that time.
Thank you for expressing your views and I can say that I agree completely… and I’ll have your back whenever you need. You’re a gorgeous gem 💎
Reading your message genuinely made me so happy! I'm glad to see you feel so liberated and in love with being gay. Thanks for your support and having my back. I want you to know that I also got yours 🫂 we've got each other! I can tell you're a very precious, beautiful gem yourself!❤ (also Cheers to being gay af and happy😆)
What I hate about being gay: Being judged by your looks and your body and your income and your clothes and where you live and the kind of car you drive and your education. Being ignored on gay apps because my BMI is more than 25%. Being made to feel inferior if I'm past a certain age or live far outside a major city. Being part of a lifestyle that includes cruising and the whole cruising culture which I never felt comfortable with and found creepy and nasty to be looking for sex in the woods or bathrooms or the gym. Wish I were straight.
Like hetero people never like that, lol
Gay men together forever ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
ForEVaaaaa ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
You are an admirable man. As an ancient eldergay (57 yo), I am extremely proud of you. Continue with leading others, less courageous than you. Your words matter.

As a gay man, I don't really like it. I mean life is more difficult for many things, I'm not sad at all, but if I had the choice, no way
It's not gay make life hard, it's homophobia
Thank you Matin. Your videos are always helpful and so positive. Good reinforcement.
Thanks for your support. I'm really glad you like my videos, it means so much to me❤
Absolutely love your videos! I think men as a whole, straight, gay, bi etc. need to love themselves better because a lot of us are walking around with so much shame and repressed emotion.
*This is such an important point you raise James!*
The complicated relationship many of us have with shame is so incredibly complex and interwoven with our sense of identity, and deeply crippling with such long-lasting effects in so many different ways for each and every one of us. I really hope Matin will consider this as a potential future topic for discussion, as it’s not talked about enough.
Talking of which, to you, Matin (and anyone else reading this that it resonates with), please *PLEASE* go and order yourselves a copy of *“Straightjacket - Overcoming Society’s Legacy of Gay Shame”* by my friend Matthew Todd. I promise each and every one of you that it will be one of the most profoundly important and helpful LGBTQ books you’ll ever read and you’ll likely find yourself recommending it to your own social circles and chosen families.
My love to you all. Be gentle with yourselves out there. 🫂
~paddy 🇬🇧
So true, I completely agree with you. Creating a video solely dedicated to that topic is very much needed 😅 also thank you so much for your support!❤
thanks Paddy, now that you mentioned it, I'm definitely going to make a video about it. I completely agree with you since like many others, I was also a victim of shame myself, and still to this day, I feel it sometimes. But gladly, I have learned to shoo it away😂
Also, thank you so much for recommending 'Straightjacketed' it's going to be added right to my Amazon order list.🕺
Love you, and thanks for your support🥰🫂
@@fang_uk
@@fang_uk Thank you so much for the book recommendation, Paddy!!! Let me get myself a copy.
@@jamessentiba2459 You are very welcome James! I really hope it helps you as much as it has helped me make sense of things. Matthew wrote something really impactful there and as I mentioned to Matin above, it’s both required reading and a must-have for everyone’s bookshelf. It’s not an easy read in places, but that’s what makes it so brilliant and such a rare thing.
Please do come back here in the weeks/months ahead and let me know what you thought of it. I would really love to know.
I honestly don’t recommend books often because everyone’s taste is obviously so relative, but this is an absolute must-read for all members of the LGBTQ community.
Stay safe out there and spread love! 🫂
I don't hate being gay. I love myself. I'm a good decent person & am completely ok with being gay -- because in the UK & these times it is more accepted. But . . . I DO wish that I hadn't been born gay. My childhood, adolescence & 20's would have been so much easier. The 80s were great (!) but, being gay in the 60s & 70s was not. It was a huge struggle . . . & a struggle that I wish I hadn't had to go through. My life would have been so much easier if I had been straight. Absolutely no question.
Great, sensible comment . I agree. It's an age thing. Many young people have no understanding of the difficulties and struggles people like you and I have had to live through. Young gays have been handed an easy life on a plate. Life for gays, even in the West, wasn't ever thus. But good luck to them.
I'm so sorry to hear that. :( I completely understand where you're coming from, and I really wish you hadn't gone through that! we already lost those years but I really hope that it gets better for the future generations...🥲
@@matraeisi Thank you! Life for gays now is so much easier than it used to be. When I was growing up in the UK, one simply didn't speak about homosexuality in polite society. It was the love that dare not speak its name! It is probably hard for you to believe me when I say this, but if the word homosexual (usually "homo" or "puffta") was mentioned, everyone would fall silent! A hush would come over the room! People were simply not comfortable speaking about it. Homosexuality was often regarded as something dirty that naughty men would get up to in public toilets! Polite well-brought-up people were not expected to engage in such activities. In fact, in the UK, homosexuality was a criminal offence until 1967. One could be jailed for "indecent" homosexual offences! In 1967, the 'Sexual Offences Act' was passed which decriminalised sexual acts for men over the age of 21. The age of consent was reduced to 18 in 1994.
So you see, Matin, the free world you experience today is a relatively new thing, even here in the West. But beware! There is still a lot of homophobia about; and it is growing. In the USA and in parts of Europe, especially eastern Europe.
By the way, you have a lovely channel. You also have a lovely manner in the videos. It is a pleasure to listen to you speaking in them. Good luck with it. Love and peace to you.
It's better wish there's no homophobia in 40's, 50's, 60's... ever
@@sufyanlowel4631 Thank you, Sufyan. There's plenty of homophobia around, I believe. But not so much where I live and also not so much because of how I live. I live a very quiet, peaceful life. I am very careful whom I mix with. Were I to get bad vibes from someone, I would give that person a wide berth.
By the way, if I might say something, you have a very lovely name. Sufyan is one of my very favourite Arabic names. Written thus ( سفيان ) in Arabic.
I also love being gay. Being a minority we see the world differently. That often makes us wiser
Factsss
Being gay has taught me to be my own best friend and to be the best friend to others when needed. I am older now and not fearful of what may come or what may have been. I’m alone more often but don’t seem to mind it as my career just keeps me connected with others anyway. Peace brothers, and may we meet some day.
Love this!! You are a force of optimism and love!
I try my best to be 😅, Thank you for being pretty much the same❤
@@matraeisi Haha yeah I know it's hard. I was in a depression for a while just a couple days ago, but I always try to find my way back to the light.
This is a great video idea though. My biggest gripe with queer representation is that it's never as joyful as I'd like. It's usually tragic or depressing. 🙄
Not sure this applies for every gay man, but I feel like being gay for me at least helps me develop a better sense of masculinity and be more conscious of an receptive to the emotions of other men, without feeling the need to reprimand them for feeling and expressing those emotions.
I don't know about everyone else but I get what you're saying!
As you said one of the best parts is that you know that you're loved even by the people you don't know and will never meet. I love you. Damet garm khosh tip. ❤🔥
Fadat Jigar, Merc ke hasti❤
Plus, being gay means my path is definitely different & unique from the straight world’s status quo …. No pressure for comparison but so every day is an adventure !!
I love being gay and I feel lucky to be gay !!!
Feltttt, Thank you for weighing in!❤
Best thing for me being gay is seeing people like you that have a lot better attitude than I had when I was young. I want all of the younger generations to have it better than it was for me half a century ago. You give hope for the future of gay people.
What's s good about being a butthole chaser. Sounds like a mess.
Thank you Matin. You are so sweet and positive, and you certainly make our days better 🌈
You're welcome always! I want you to know that you pretty much do the same for me by being such a supportive amazing person❤🌈
Why I love being gay...... meeting people like you! 😊
how can you make a video saying gay men are lonely, and in the next video you say otherwise?
Because being gay and homophobic society are different things
Thank you. I think I needed to hear that today ❤
You don't know how happy I am to hear this ❤ glad I was able to help you in some way🥰
Beautifully said. We're magical, compassionate, powerful, intuitive beings. No wonder they are sometimes envious. But, we just want to be accepted for who we are and help everyone be their best selves and find their light.
You said it better than me! Thanks for weighing in, I really appreciate it! you're the best❤
Who?
@matraeisi Thank you! You're a great emissary of awareness about who we are and a good soul. ❤️
This is one of the best videos supporting gays ever, as a gay person myself ❤ ❤ ❤
Thanks for the video, I've been kinda spiralling and really negative about the stuff I've experienced since coming out a few years ago.
But its good to hear that despite the bad things, there are good things about being gay
What doesnt kill you makes you stronger ❤
I honestly don’t have a list of things I love or hate about being gay. It’s just a thing that is a part of me and it doesn’t define me or the people around me. I’m just chillin.
Always Gay, never straight 🏳️🌈
Ate😂❤
Great video! And I totally agree with all the qualities that you listed! Also, I love your sweater!
Thank you so much 🥹🥹. Needed this positivity.
im gay and i feel much better around straight people . All my friends are straight and lovely
I personally think it's 50 50, there are good and bad things about being homosexual or heterosexual, and of course we have to focus on the good things. In my experience of making friends of both sexual orientations I have actually felt better treated by straight people, they have given me more of a sense of brotherhood than gay people. The times when I started to make friends from the LGBTQ community I imagined I would've felt more comfortable with them, but it was the contrary, I don't know if it has been bad luck but they have all been individualistic narcissists who only care about their own interests and who believed they were the last coke in the desert 😂. However, I don't hate being homosexual but I neither love it, it is just 50 50.
PD: It is awesome to know other people's point of view, since that lets me know there is much more than just what I have experienced.
Thanks for sharing Matin, and thank you for your energy!
What i love about being gay??, I feel like there's way more things that i hate about it, when i ask myself what i love about being gay i have to think really hard, maybe being gay makes me an open minded person in a way that it taught me to be more empathetic and compassionate towards other people because you never know their story, and also it taught me to always try to see everything from different sides or point of view, you know how in society, people always have this negative thoughts towards gay people, and what they say is actually not true, im nothing like that, so it always makes me take everything i see on media with a grain of salt, also maybe feeling capable of liking or loving someone is good enough to be included as smth i like about it??, Idk I guess that's all, execpt that, i feel like living life as a gay guy is a curse, especially if you were born in a religious family and be religious yourself, the self hatred, the struggle I've gone through for years till I'm finally able to accept myself, even when I've come to terms with my sexuality,it doesn't really get better???, Ok now I'm gay, so what?? Let's try finding a boyfriend??, I feel like at this point finding someone is impossible, people don't look for deep connection, they just want to have one night stand, i used to be like ok it's ok you're gay, as long as you don't tell anyone, and you Don't have sex with anyone, and then it's changed to "ok i wanna do it, but only with the one i love", and then it's changed to " fck it , im just gonna do it like everyone else"... This pas few days, i haven't really felt like myself, all this situation really has changed me to be the person i was always afraid to be, or maybe it's just me, maybe it's my fault because i was too religious??, Maybe if i wasn't, i would enjoy my life more as a gay guy??,i don't know, i just had my first hookup 2 weeks ago, and i feel very terrible 😭😭, why can't i enjoy things without having to feel guilty, i don't even know why I'm commenting like this, i just don't have anyone to talk to
In my experience I've always seen my sexuality aa something I should suppress and be embarrassed of. For years I thought of transitioning from male to female just to have a taste of what society calls "normal". Rn I'm just trying to deal with the fact that I am what I am and I cannot change it. I hope one day I can be as confident and proud of myself as you guys seem to be. ❤😘
You're normal and beautiful as you are. It can be a long journey, but I know you'll eventually find your pride and confidence in being yourself!❤
I'll make a video about shame and how to move past it for you soon if you want! Please don't be so harsh on yourself, you don't deserve that, You deserve to be happy. Don't care about what society says, they're full of $hit😆
@@matraeisi thank you for your kind words Matin, love from Brazil 🇧🇷 💞😢
Thank you so much for sharing! I love your energy and subscribed to your channel!
I Love Being Gay because it Feels like the highest level of self acceptance and self love.
This is wonderful! Thanks for sharing this outlook, made me stand taller and remember these great things about being a gay man! I subscribed, and excited to follow you more! thanks
I love that you made this video! I’m sure this could have really helped a younger me :)
Btw: there is a great TED talk by Dr. Lisa Diamond about why the “born this way” argument doesn’t really help us
be ur self is most power ful thing so.... be ur self
you said it the best
As an older gay man, I had to grow up repressing my true self and stopped all that in my late 20’s , fought for all gay rights so that you get to express your love and I get to express mine . The fight isn’t over and I’m getting on so I pass the flag to you. Keep fighting for our rights and one day there might not be a need to.
I'm proud to be gay, and I can't hold it. Every time I find out an impresive and insprational LGBT person like Alan Turing, Gabriel Attal, etc, I just feel motivated and my productivity increased and I feel so proud. But some times, I feel disapointed with those red flag gays, those who ruined the image of gays.
Agreed, I have to make a video about the red flag gays so we can all cope😂
What's s good about being a butthole chaser. Sounds like a mess.
The late Derek Jarman, who had Aids, noted in his diaries that a heterosexual woman had written to him to say how she envied the large number of supportive friends he had, something she lacked.
Great and beautiful comments, topic. Indeed nobody's talking about positive sides of being gay. Thanks Mat for this. This can be a longer discussion, more elaborated.
Thanks for your support, lots of love to you ❤, and for sure, if you want, I can definitely make a longer video and elaborate more on this in the future!
That's the way to go: positivity all around
Always nice to hear from you.❤
Thank you! always nice to see you here❤
Bit of a different perspective as a bisexual woman, but I love being bi, because I feel like I get perspectives from more sides than people who aren't. I also love the community and the fact that I keep befriending queer, mostly bi people 'by accident'. That kinda reitterates the way we feel connected, even if we don't know the other's sexuality yet. I have the same thing with neurodivergency. I actually don't have a lot of friends that aren't queer nor neurodivergent, and lots of them, especially the closest are both. I also love that there is a kind of communal culture that transends so many other cultures. If I could choose my sexuality, I would choose to stay bi too.
I love this positivity ❤
I actually loved the predefined, traditional roles when I was married to a woman. It was nice to know what the expectations were before getting into the relationship. I can’t say it made the relationship stronger, however.
Your support from the community is not my experience unfortunately.
Thank you so much for the video! ❣❣❣You are very cute and handsome😊! I want to say that for me being gay is about being who I am: feeling my emotions 100%, I am not ashamed of my body, I understand that I need to fight for our community to feel safe and free! I am now 19 and accepting myself for who I am is a beautiful thing! You are very inspiring!💕
Spitting facts but all i could think about while watching this video is how PERFECT his eyebrows are…like, thats my current hyper fixation loll
I was expecting some surface level answers but these were actually really interesting and insightful. Cheers!
Bravo, well said! Agree with all your points!
I am loving your channel man
Idk man, I’ve been out for about 6 years and I’ve dated plenty. Never had a gay friend group, I’ve lived in small towns where there aren’t many gay guys and don’t like cities. My biological family is religious and won’t accept me dating or marrying anyone. I work in the construction trades and most men don’t rlly like gay men either. I’ve actually stopped trying to date for the last couple years because it’s been very difficult to juggle my family/work life and my dating life because the two don’t mix. Honestly if I could just take a pill and it would make me straight I absolutely would. It would make life so much better.
You have a very nice energy and a great soul that like to transmit that positivity into others ❤👍 I love your work and keep going 😊
One of the things that I like about being gay is the wit and humor that so many of us have (and the laughter). Plus science has shown that we (in general) have higher IQs than the general population. Matin, I love listening to you, besides the fact that you are so damn cute!!
I actually didn't know that fact about our IQs it was nice to know 😆 thanks for being here and supporting me! I'm pretty sure you're hella cute yourself❤
What's s good about being a butthole chaser. Sounds like a mess.
You are a happy person and that is what really matters. Thank you very much for your wisdom words. I love your videos!
Thank you so much for being here, and supporting me! I really appreciate you❤
Matin you are such a breath of fresh air, sweet spirit and very special ! I wish I could know you better as you would be a good friend ! 💕
Great video! I wish more of us would talk about the positive instead of always focusing on the negatives. 👍🏼
So wise and well articulated. I love being gay too.
Thank you so much for this ❤❤❤
You're welcome always!❤❤❤
Thank you for speaking out much appreciated i came out the closet at 16 now 34
Good for you for making such a positive video!
Life and being gay is what you make of it.
There are all kinds of gay, so make it a positive, caring and meaningful journey!
Oh, I don't hate it, I love myself for who I am and nobody will EVER make me feel less than! And it's not a choice as far as how you feel on the inside. Maybe the act is but how you feel isn't. PERIOD!
I love you being gay, too - haha
lol love you😂❤
@@matraeisi Love you back ❤️
yes!! I feel the same way, like in some ways the challenges of being gay are also in some ways some of the things that make us stronger. We know how to support each other, and being gay means you get to have a chosen family even if your biological family isn't accepting of you. Also most gay people I know tend to be so much more interesting than your average straight person, we all have our struggles and our stories to tell, and that means we are confronted with life circumstances that force us to be introspective, but at the same time to know the importance of cultivating joy. When I was younger I used to say things like I hate being gay, but now that I'm a little bit older (and hopefully wiser) I would not trade it for anything in the world.
Agreed! What's cool is that I also wanted to talk about how we get to have our chosen family but I forgot to so I'm really glad you mentioned it here instead! Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate it. You're the best❤(also I can tell you're a really intelligent person, so yes, definitely wiser 😎)
@@matraeisi Now you’re just being flattering 😂😳 Love you and everything you do 🥰
You are wonderful and this message is very IMPORTANT.❤❤❤❤❤🥰💕
Thanks for your support, I'm pretty sure you're a really wonderful person yourself❤❤❤
I like the positivity. ❤
I love that I am an out and proud gay man. I’ve never felt or have ever been ashamed of my sexuality. Of course when I was younger I didn’t understand why I was “different” but I just assumed I was biologically attracted to men even though I had no idea that there were many other folks out there just like me. However, as a teenager I began to learn through books and magazines that there were lots of folks just like me. By the time I was in my twenties I was dating meeting and developing life long gay friends who are my family of choice. There are some things in my life that I regret not doing, mainly not following my career dream. However, I have zero regret about being an out and proud gay man and have always felt blessed I came into this world gay. ❤
Thank you for sharing your story and spreading so much positivity. I really appreciate you for that! You're the best! ❤
Thank you for your kind words. They mean a lot to me. ❤
For us all, everything you say is spot on. For you personally, it sure helps that you're as beautiful as men ever get to be. To quote the divine Marylin in How to Marry a Millionaire: "You wouldn't marry a woman just because she was pretty. But my goodness...doesn't it HELP???"
I just saw that a university in UK released a research they did on human DNA and found out 50% of the reason why someone is gay (or bissexual, or whatever else) comes from genes and the other 50% because of the evirioment. Same rule applies to animals as well.
Environment is 100% the reason why people are gay. No one is born gay and gay genes don't exist.
This man is a gem 💎
Hearing what u said was so therapeutic, agree with you completely. Greetings from Australia Matin..

Matin! I missed you! You're one of my favourite reasons of being gay! Yassssz
no way am i? that made me so happyyy! thanks for your support❤
You’re so handsome, thanks for sharing your experiences! I enjoy your videos.
thank you for the love and support! also thanks you're really handsome yourself from what I can see❤
I’ve learned to love myself & that includes being Gay. It takes a lot of work sometimes. Especially when you’re raised & taught it’s wrong but I did find my own family within the Gay community as well as my blood family❤
ThankU. Your ending words are very kind. I have found, though, rejecting myself was a reflex acquired in a violent family. It's taken a lot of therapy/recovery to interrupt that. Glad i'm old💔🕊
You're welcome always! I'm sorry you went through that 😢but I'm really glad you were able to get the help you needed in the end!❤
@@matraeisi thankU again. I appreciate being. It's still needed, far from the end
@@matraeisi ....being noticed
You mentioned advantages of being gay which is important to look at, because we need to think positively.
Thank you❤I'm glad you said this because I also think that even though we typically have harder lives, we need to have these moments and share positivity as a community.
I mean... your channel might be a reason many people are happy to be gay :)
Thanks Siavash! you're a Jigar tala for this :D ❤
It doesn't really matter whether you were born gay and always knew it, figured it out later as it evolved, or actually chose the lifestyle. It's your life and every situation should be treated with respect. Living in a free society involves supporting people in their personal choices which do not harm others.
Wise words!!!
@@matraeisi I love watching your videos Matin. You are so charming and that smile is amazing.
It is hard for me to think about reasons I like being gay. It is a bit like "reasons I like having brown hair". It was not my choice and it is ultimately not necessarily a defining factor in who I am. Many of the things people associate with being gay -good or bad- are correlated, not causal. These things more probably come from society's reaction and attitude towards gay people.
But as I was thinking, I think there is at least one thing, that is definitely specific to being gay and that is having intimacy with someone whose experiences are very similar to your own. They say the beauty in heterosexual love is that men and women are different. I think in gay love the similarity can make intimacy easier or perhaps deeper. I can much more easily anticipate and empathize with what my partner is feeling. With that we might miss out on some opportunities to learn and appreciate people who are different to us; but due to regularly being othered, that is not really a concern of mine.
