    Im under 16
    I self harm, I’m a gay trans kid who struggles too eat or even get out of bed I self harm sometimes and I’m suicidal and battling currently with my physical and mental health . Your music and this videos is a true breath of fresh air for me. As someone from the uk who is gay it’s a relief too see it’s not only me who basically gets bullied to his death. My partner has helped me but I’m not the greatest. I’m much better but as I said hearing your story is so refreshing and I love how real you are! You are my comfort singer and I truely appreciate Olly and how he’s real. Not some fake ideal image. Thank you for making this and indirectly helping me with my mental health and helping me live another day.

    3:42 what helps me the most when I am in that situation is regular contact with my family in Rural Ireland, as I live alone in the U.K. - and especially since 18 years ago, I returned to my Catholic faith, where despite being born in Vatican II, I became a Traditional Catholic - I taught myself to pray the Rosary in Latin during Covid when I could not attend Mass and after Covid, I attend the TLM (Traditional Latin Mass) regularly

    I know How hard it is more so now having come out as Transgender only 8 months ago I have known I was different since I was 9 but, didn't come out until I was 46. Tomorrow I'm going to try swimming for the first time as a trans woman I'm going with a trans friend to help me with it I'm nervous but, I still want to go. I'm see a counselor for about a year now she has helped me out so much so far I tried to go to a beach twice now both times I made it to sitting on a towel on the beach and couldn't get my coverup off first time I went with my wife then the next time my wife and a friend this time I'm going to a pool with a sis woman hoping she can help me through it. Plus being very shy my whole life and not having many friends is hard for me

    Speaking as an older and conservative-minded Irish gay man in the U.K. 23 years myself, the single most important and the biggest reason why LGBT mental health is so bad in our times is because of the level of prejudice and discrimination which I personally have experienced and endured from my teens in the 1980’s from (within) the LGBT community, which is why I cut all ties with and support for the LGBT community 18 years ago - because I’ve been made to feel alienated from the LGBT community, (to quote a TD from back home in Ireland) it is a thundering disgrace that the LGBT activists and elites simply do not take this issue seriously enough and silence as “being negative” anyone who attempts to raise this issue - continued failure to properly address this issue is playing into the hands of and encouraging the actions and attitudes of homophobic people, because rightly or wrongly, the gay community is perceived as uncaring, judgemental and hypocritical

    i am, 56 YEARS OLD AND i, CONTINUE TO CUT MYSELF BUT WO BYE WEIGHT GIVEN TO MY LIFE WHICH CAUSES THOSE AFFECTING THIS OR AFFLICTIONS TO COME. Keeping a global smile like the one you're wearing will help the shine of the suns strength to grow out of those who did not think it was needed by him, her eVen them for we are all newborn earths seeds found inside a mother's womb in the earth growing up into worlds where war is known face to face in the mirror...

    PART 2,
    Call out for yourself sometimes, call out your name that gives you identity an earthly flesh born into the earth where seed is found inside itself a child eVen and the profile used to describe the emotion which has a right to privacy no different than to reply to anyone asking about your gross pay this week or balance of a monthly bank statement "my bed is none of your business." When people use profile to in acknowledgement of who they are right away the word gay is a negative to straight, but not giving weight to this one thing "judging people is a judgement against ourselves a dry decision eVen a thought which is like unto a seed or bullet which when loaded into a weapon of any type gives reflection when fired/hired or desired to grow hope into giant then judge God and his people.

    Part 3,
    In America the Spirit of God is We The People, and the lord, god President of the United States who is the reflection the Spirit of God that sits on the right hand of power in their image male and female who is like unto a Father a Leader and Commander in Chief of the American Armed Forces (Americans armed with divorces?) who is also Mother Commander in Chief of the Law which is bound around his neck like unto the Laws of gravity which defends the borders of his garment "so remember to Honor Thy Father and Mother, for the mother is the law and he Father is the strength a hedge round about them? In other words you have a name tend and dress your garden with it, don't be found undressed in it???

    בקרוב לא יהיה יותר LGBTQIA+ יהיה רק LGB וTQIA+ ואני אהיה מאוד שמחה לא להיות שייכת אל האשפה שLGB חושבים שהם הכי נחשבים ..ואני מקווה שהקהילות הימניות שכל הLGB חיים בהן ותומכים בדעות שלהם יראו לכם מה ישו חושב עלכם באלימות מופרזת.
