    Hello! I took a break last week because it didn't feel right to post with everything that has been going on. Like I said in my community post, you will still be getting four pride related videos this month. This is the first, and I will be posting the second this Saturday! After that I will be going back to weekly uploads every Wednesday. I hope you all enjoy hearing my coming out story! Thank you for watching!

    To all the shiny, new little *_gaybies_* who happened to stumble across this video while doing a "coming out" search during pride month...never forget that you are valid and loved. Even if your own coming out story doesn't go as well as Heather's, you are a fiercely loved and supported part of this amazing LGBTQ+ family and we got your back. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

      Thank you for saying that.
      But nobody never really said that to me before.
      And I find that very sweet and touching.
      But thank you for saying that anyway.

    OMG, you are literally my hero. I felt the same way. I would date boys but I would never want to talk to them. Then I thought I was bisexual but I would cry every night because I was still confused. I thought I was the only one that thought boys were good looking but couldn't picture myself dating them but I could picture myself with a girl. This video literally made me cry cause it made me realize that I'm gay and that other people feel the same way I do. Thank you so much, you have no idea how much pain and suffering you saved me from.😥😔

    The struggle with ownself when you’re confused with your sexuality really does take a toll but, I’m super glad you’re over that and happy with yourself now. This is a moving and an amazing video if you struggle or feeling confused and unsure of what to do. Another great video, as always!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    I FaceTimed this evening with my brother (bisexual) and his best friend (lesbian).
    I am pansexual, but still in the closet to the most people, also to my brother. I already came out to his best friend, but not to him.
    I wanted to come out to my brother this evening. To introduce the topic a little I started talking a little about pansexuality and asked if they know pansexual people and what they think about it. My brother said that he understands being gay or bisexual, but from his point of view pansexuality, asexuality, genders besides male & female etc. are just trendy things. He said that he doesn’t believe in more than 2 genders and it must be a trend because it all started in the last years that topics regarding more than 2 genders get more attention.
    His best friend, who already knew that I am pansexual, didn’t react as radical as my brother, but she said that from her point of view being pansexual etc. are kind of trends too.
    This hurts so hard! I was about to tell my brother about my pansexuality but now I think I won’t do it in the next years. And I am shocked how his best friend who knew that I am pan, reacted and supported my brothers point of view.
    I am pansexual. It is not a trend, it is not a phase. It is me!!! 😭

      While I don't know you, I want to validate you and your experience. You are exactly who you are, you know yourself. Your sexuality is not a trend. You are who you are, and that is good. And while some people around you might not understand, as a stranger on the internet, I support you and I believe you.

    • @Astrid-fw2mj
      @Astrid-fw2mj 4 года назад +1

      That must be really hard. I obviously don’t know your brother or his friend but maybe you could work on educating them? If they are already supportive of some parts of the lgbtq+ community it is probable that with a little more understanding they would be more excepting. Best of luck and just do whatever you feel comfortable with!

    • @heatherwotherspoon7313
      @heatherwotherspoon7313  4 года назад +7

      i am so, so sorry to hear this. it wasn’t fair for them to invalidate you like that - especially because they should understand the struggles that lgbtq+ people go through considering they’re both in the community! hopefully once you actually come out to them they’ll try to understand it a bit more. for right now, just try to find friends/other people who you can lean on for support and who will make you feel loved and accepted! your pansexuality is totally real and totally valid! don’t let anyone else tell you differently! ❤️

    • @wreckagemarc
      @wreckagemarc 4 года назад

      oh:( I'm so sorry, I know I dont know you but just wanted to let you know that you ARE valid and there's a huge community out there that support you! just give them some time, im sure that they would understand if you try to educate them. Good luck!, you are loved💕

    I'm not sure if you have mentioned this in your previous videos (I've watched them all if I can remember) but did anyone ever ask you or mention things about boys to you, like, "how's you boyfriend?" Or statements that made you uncomfortable or not easy to come out to everyone? I don't know if you could do a video more in depth about you being uncomfortable coming out but it's a suggestion haha! Also would like to see another Q&A:)

And the weight that has been lifted of my shoulders is huge. I was so scared to do it but I knew I was ready. I was lucky because I’ve gotten nothing but love and support from my friends and family.

    It's amazing, that your family and friends reacted so great when you came out! There are also stories where the family or friends start becoming more and more distanced...
    But the thing with the letter is really good! I used to do this with 16 when I tried to tell my mum something what happened to me and I didn't dare to speak out loud. And she reacted similiar like yours. (No, I wasn`t pregnant, comming out or something like this :D But it was something hard to tell)
    So, happy pride month and thank you for sharing your story :-)

    Speaking about: Coming Out Stories.
    Me: to be perfectly honest with y’all my coming out story never really happened, because I was just scared 😱 of coming out and so I stayed hidden in the closet like never really coming out of it completely.
    And I’m still am in that way now.
    But I never really came out at all, because I was just scared 😱 of coming out and I’m even more scared 😱 because I’m not so sure who would love me.
    Because I’m honestly looking for a girlfriend of my own of my life.
    But I never really showed any signs of being as a lesbian, but I just wish to have a girlfriend so that way I can really just be myself.
    But I’m just not really ready to come out completely yet, but I will be like once I have a girlfriend of my own of my life.
    But I’m not so sure if I do have anxiety too.!
