I have said this before. I am an 87 year old grandmother, two of my six grandchildren being gay. I am still a Christian, but have evolved way beyond my childhood upbringing. I have a few Korean acquaintances who grew up as you did, Joe, and who have remained Christians, but also evolved way beyond the Korean church experience. Such an interesting podcast today.
Your channel is the reason why i always get excited for Sundays
I think I have the dinner beat. My Vietnamese boyfriend's FAMILY came to town for his college graduation - and stayed with us. He wa not out, openly, preparing or otherwise. The grandparents spoke no English, the mother very little and the Dad, a bit. My Vietnamese was limited please, thank you, yes, no and a couple of things you weren't going to use in this context. Our bedroom was on the third floor of the house - magical thinking transformed it from one large room with a queen size bed, into I guess two or three individual rooms with one door (?) The fact that none of the other three bedrooms on the second floor was set up as or ever used as such was just never mentioned. It was a very long weekend. And yet, at the end, I swear to god, there was that moment when the Dad pulled me aside and said something along the lines of 'I know you will take very good care of my son' .
Meeting the partner's parent(s), even when they're liberal, areligious, and speak the same language, is nerve-racking. Congrats on such a big and important milestone!
I'm old enough to be your parent and I would be so proud to have sons like you both.
I love listening to such raw conversations and hearing about other people's experiences. Also, I can see having these types of conversations in future, as there is a huge probability my future bf will be using English as his main language, while my parents aren't natives.
Woof, I remember having to introduce my then white boyfriend to my Asian parents! Parallel experience. It only gets easier moving forward now that the ice is broken 😊. Now that we got them a grandkid, they couldn’t be happier with the situation.
My partners family are Thai , their English is almost non existent and my Thai is very limited so the language barrier thing was relatable, so happy Ryan met your parents, Joe🙏
I’m so sad and happy for y’all at the same time. 32 and not out. Parents are Christian and would disown me if I told them.
My mom did not speak English so meeting my now (Canadian) husband was a bit nerve wrecking for me. My mother smiled a lot though so that eased the stress. My husband then started learning Portuguese so he could speak to her which was very sweet. My mother didn’t understand his Portuguese! there you go. I continued being translator 😂😂
I am a gay man from the USA living with my Brazilian boyfriend in the family home with his family in Sao Paulo Brazil. I don't speak Portuguese well at all. And his family doesn't speak English well. Luckily the BF and I stay primarily in the "in-law" apartment downstairs. His mom watches Christian TV all day long.. But I am an ordained Christian minister also, so maybe that is the one connection we have. I am a real talker, so I hate not participating in conversations, so staying quiet while everyone else is laughing and talking is sometimes difficult. And my BF while almost fully fluent in conversational English, he is a very bad translator! haha
You guys have done a great job of being honest and respectful at the same time. Well done! Very happy for you!
I’ve been watching you from the beginning in your pt Edmonton days, as a fellow Albertan child of immigrants your videos have always resonated with me. I don’t typically comment on videos but I just wanna say what an amazing conversation this has been. I teach diversity studies at a community college and I thought you both did such a good job at showcasing the complexity of culture without placing value or judgement on the clear differences in affection, communication, customs etc. I’m so happy for y’all ❤
I know you don't always like to share super personal stuff. Thanks for being vulnerable. I'm happy it went well.
Super relatable video for me! Thanks so much for sharing! My bf‘s parents are Taiwanese American and quite religious. Wasn’t easy at first in terms of values, culture and also language to a certain extent but it’s been getting better. After many years I finally got the feeling that they have made their peace with us being together. We also like to chose places where his parents feel comfortable: Chinese restaurants (we usually also ask my bf’s brother, his wife and kids to join who are easy to talk to). Since we are living and working in Europe and can’t see them often, it kinda always feels like getting to know each other again every time we come to the US…
“Conservative Christian Koreans - triple homicide” 😂 proud of you guys
Big steps and proud of you’ll children 🫶🏼🫶🏼🥹
I'm so happy for you guys. Watching you two evolve through time really makes me feel better and self healing.
I love these sit down podcast style videos. I've been watching your videos every week for the past few years now. Keep up the hard work. I look forward to watching again soon!
So happy to have been following you for years ! Thank you so much for sharing your story, this is great!!! So happy for you!!!
