The Chosen Family Series is my favorite one because I love learning new things about the LGBTQ+ community. You make me want to get involved more Tyler, and I thank you for that 💗
Chosen family has been my mantra.
Amber Tatum I agree
This set off so many triggers for me, but I needed to watch it. I lost so many friends, as well as my first long-term lover, to AIDS. My current husband of 31 years is HIV+, but healthy and undetectable. It was such a tumultuous time, and one that those of us that survived will never, ever forget....
neville oreilly hahahahahahaha 😂😂😂
Hey I keep flagging those comments (the homophobic ones) but they won't go away I think if more people flagged them they'd be erased could you help me each time you see an outrageous comment like this flag it please it sounds cheesy but it would make youtube a better and safer place
I can’t believe people are leaving such hateful comments on someone’s comment who just opened and shared their story online
neville oreilly if its about being healthy they hurt themselves not you so leave them alone otherwise say the same thing to all of those who smoke, alcoholics etc
you are so strong. keep fighting, keep living, the lgbt+ community is behind you!!
This is so heart warming, one day after I come out I hope to be even slightly as active in the lgbtq+ family as you are... You are an amazing person Tyler and I hope you never forget that because this really is making a difference🌈💖💖

@@nevilleoreilly3106 LOL so ignorant. Dumbass bigot.
I'm straight but I'll support you guys
we love an ally!!
Eren Yeager I agree with what you say, and I am not hating - I just think you should know that it is not just gay, bi and straight, there are so many more than that.
crazy blonde ok how about this I'm straight but ill support you guys
M H then why do you still exist?
M H
If beautiful is beating up a gay person to put him in the hospital like you said in the comment I reported in another place on this video, I'm worried.
As a young 18 year old queer girl, I cannot express with words how thankful I am that such courageous people fought before me for rights and an acceptance that I am now able to benefit from. Fights are certainly far from over, still I'm grateful that Tyler took the time to do a second season of "Chosen Family" this year and include in it informations about past resilience as a way to motivate my generation as well. Such a heartwarming community, really.
What a surprise seeing Jacob at your video. ❤ Love u both.💕😘

neville oreilly Please learn how to use grammar properly. Because I did not understand the purpose of your comment due to bad spelling and unclear punctuation.
@@nevilleoreilly3106 LOL ur just a socially ignorant dumbass bigot.
i love how your series brings light to the whole lgbt community! the representation is amazing and i love it!💘🌈💗🏳️🌈

thank you so much for this series !! almost all the episodes brought me to tears including this one. this is such an important topic and the fact that you're bringing attention to it is amazing. thank you sooo much tyler !!
all the love from the russian chosen family !!
M H This is a video specifically about LGBT if you don’t like that why are you even watching this video.
M H well, I was trying to be reasonable, but FUCK you BITCH.
M H point proven
This episode was really tough on me because my uncle I never met died from AIDS. He was person I never had but always wanted. He was a strong gay drag queen and faced AIDS which was so unfair to him and he didn’t deserve to die at all.
This really hits me hard and I appreciate you documenting all of these amazing stories by these wonderful people gay rights are so important and I love you for showing everyone his ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
This series is the best!! I loved last season and this one just keeps getting more and more amazing.
This is very insightful!
To see so many wonderful things come out of all the pain is a testament to the kindness of people. This is why I love this series.
I’ve always wondered why school never talk about things like this. This was something that had happened and was huge and I never even heard about this until now, I think schools should talk about this to let kids know more about things like this.
hearing peter and eric talk and share their stories was so incredible, wow. I’m forever grateful for what they did for our community and I always wished they talked and taught about Act Up and the journey they went through in schools.
I love you so much Tyler. Thank you for making this series 💜
M H
Lol k.
M H
Thanks for letting me know 😊
I almost cried, these are the people that really help the world and shape it into something better and greater.
I came out to my parents as bi. My mom said she wasn't against it, but felt like I was to young to decide.
My dad however hugged me and said, "don't get your heart broken by any girls. They can be nasty at times." I couldn't ask for a better father.
Brogan Bell that's such a great response from your father
Hannah G0123
Thank you.
He is pretty cool.
Congrats!! I feel really happy for u...😍😍
Brogan Bell and I would be privately and publicly ostracized. Got to love living in a Mormonist hellhole that's borderline cultlike.
Hi Brogan
A round applause for everything you do with choosen family 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Tyler, understanding our past informs our future. Thanks for shinning a light on our past and relating it to today. There are so many lessons learned that can not be lost. Powerful and impactful and inspiring!
This video better be overwhelmingly good bc I am interrupting my 'Dance to this'-marathon
But I'm sure it will be

@@nevilleoreilly3106 LOL LOL LOL dumbass hateful bigot.
No words can express my gratitude for doing this Tyler. The tears flowed as I remembered all my friends who died of AIDS. Sometimes I'll Google their names, but nothing comes up as this was before Social Media. It's like they never existed.
THANK YOU TYLER FOR HELPING ME COME OUT! You have just help me grow and understand what I am and what I should be proud of! Thanks so much! I love you!
This is such an important story to share. Thank you for using your platform, you are a true light in this world.
Hi Tyler!
Thank you so much for your chosen family series, it’s been very educational and amazing to watch and learn about our community!
It’s 17 days now until I plan to come out to my mum as aromantic and I’m really anxious, but watching your videos and other LGBTQ+ RUclipsr’s have helped my confidence, so thank you!! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
ItsMeGeekTamara good luck! Just remember there's so many people to support you!
Wishing you the best of luck. No matter what happens, we're here to support you. I support you 💖💛💚💙💜🌹
Thank you so much, this community truly is the best I love you all 💜🏳️🌈
M H you need to shut the hell up and leave her alone. Your shitty comment wasn't necessary at all
M H oh so you would honestly rather kick your son out of your house than support and protect and love him for who he truly is. Some parent you are
I pass the memorial once a week and I am continuously inspired by Voices 4. So wish I could've gone to the Columbus Circle protest. Thank you so much for this video. I needed it, and the world needs it.
This series is everything. This means everything to a lot of people. Thanks Tyler ily
Thank you for being yourself 🏳️🌈 love from South Africa 🇿🇦
This year I joined an HIV/AIDS peer education group at my high school, and it's blown me away how much I've been impacted by this topic and this community. It truly is something we need to keep talking about. This didn't end in the last millennium, and we need to push the global community to keep the conversation going. Thank you for being part of that ❤️
I'm currently reading a book written by a doctor who was working in NYC when the first wave of the AIDS epidemic hit America. His own perspective reflects a lot of what Peter and Eric were saying about the government's genocide by inaction. I'm so glad to have watched this and to have been exposed to another group of activists who are helping the queer community across the globe. Awareness is key to action and change.
Michelle Teo what is it called???
Sounds interesting! Do you have the title?
It is so sad that people had to go through this! I’m just happy people like u can spread awareness and spread people’s stories! Love ya ❤️❤️❤️
Alissa Danielle. And yet we still have closed minded people who still not like lgbt group. No matter what everyone tells them they still not want see anything. For me I'm all for lgbt group because end of the day there still like us.
Some of you might of spotted Milk from Rupaul's drag race, Milk has been fighting for Chechnya for a while now, She is a true Queen
Thank you for telling a history that is sometimes forgotten. 🌈
the movie Small Town Rage is about the way my hometown effected the HIV/AIDS epidemic. every time I watch it I cry. I am so glad I'm now seeing commercials and advertisements for HIV safety and testing. I feel like everyone needs to hear about PEP and PrEP.
this video is so important and the fact we have tyler, jacob, marc and adam in one video is wonderful.
Wow this made me cry... this is moving, beautiful and so important. I wish everyone would watch this.. Thank you Tyler
This is such a flashback. I remember watching these under the covers in my room crying because I related so much and it scared me. Everytime i watched one i would feel guilty and delete my watch history. A year later i have a supportive family and friends who love me for who i am. 🌈😊
Loving the series Tyler, it’s so important to bring light to these things and I can think of no better way then a series from you! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I have been following Adam Eli/voices 4 for sooo long, it is very inspiring to see people who unapologetically stand up for what they believe is right. He works so hard to help the movement, he benefits/gives attention to otherwise hidden issues and spreads awareness.
YAY! I love Chosen Family soooo much!! You are such an inspiration to me Tyler!!
Kaylen Davis lhp
Hey I keep flagging those comments (the homophobic ones) but they won't go away I think if more people flagged them they'd be erased could you help me each time you see an outrageous comment like this flag it please it sounds cheesy but it would make youtube a better and safer place
Anais Champignon don’t worry I’ve already flagged and I completely agree
Kaylen Davis Thanksss
Anais Champignon Of course no problem. People like that shouldn’t be near such lovely people like you and everyone else who supports Tyler
Thank you so much for making this series. It gave me the courage to come out to everyone in my family. Now I can be myself. I've been watching you for 6 years now. You're one of my biggest role models. Keep spreading this love❤🌈❤🌈
These organizations are powerful and amazing what they have accomplished and all their hardwork is truly inspiring
I'm hurting and so sorry, it has happened in my country. But it shows we must keep fighting. I believe true and love win. We are a family and i love everyone. Remember about it ❤️
You make one of the most meaningful video series of RUclips on your channel. And I still see people calling you an irrelevant youtuber and I honestly don't understand how something this meaningful can be "irrelevant" just because it doesn't get the reach it deserves. I am so thankful that you make these videos, invest your money into going places and doing things instead of just sitting in a room and just making challenges that keep your views up. I love that you do what you want. It shows that it's true to yourself and that's so much more important than people doing things online just for the money 🙏❤
Wow, blew me away, can't stop the tears
Those two older guys, great and strong courageous people. Hats off for them
This is so inspirational and it makes me so proud to be a part of this community
I guess the best thing is to report them...I guess arguing with them makes no sense cause they will not understand.
Susumna Sen I reported his comment, and decided to just erase mine and leave it at that.
i love this video so much because not only does it raise awareness but also shows how to support the community and to actually change something
Literal legends. Thank you Tyler for bringing them into the spotlight on a modern medium, truly using a fame for good, we stan a queen.
I have chills and tears in my eyes
Tyler I love your chosen family series so much. It’s so inspirational. I’m so proud of you too. Xxx
And thank you a lot Tyler for making this real and making it happen .And talk about the truth that the people are avoiding. ❤
I’m not crying, you’re crying! Beautiful video Tyler!
I love you Tyler! I have recently started my own channel and for Pride Month, I have posted my story, but seeing your Chosen Family, makes me want to do more to help my Chosen Family. We are all part of it
as a queer woman, I honestly feel like I owe it to the previous lgbtq+ folks before me to not only educate myself on queer history, but to also honor and embrace it. So much of this has been swept under the rug, I just want their legacy to be known and I’m so thankful for them!! we wouldn’t have any of our progress today if it wasn’t for them!!
I just came out to my mom last Sunday! Thank you for helping me discover myself Tyler
OMG i just volunteered with ACT UP for Brooklyn Pride this past weekend! Jason and all the other members are such incredible people. As someone who's living in a homophobic household, i wish i could spend every moment of the day with my chosen family at ACT UP NY
Xoxo, thank you Tyler for being so amazing!
I love you so much, Tyler! Thank you for everything! ❤🇧🇷
This is my favorite chosen family video for sure. So good. So moving. I just loved it so much
I was in a city (I am not saying which) and I saw people that were getting bullied for being gay, lesbian, etc. and one was rushed to the hospital. I bursted into tears running and one saw me and stopped and told the others to run once he held the bullies back. He later chased me down and hugged me. That is a day I’ll never forget.
tyler, this is amazing, thank you for sharing this amazing and powerful story
I love this whole series so much 🌈❤💛💚💙💜🌈
Tyler!!! Thank-you for this amazing season
My uncle suffered with AIDs for roughly 8 years before his life was taken from pneumonia. His body was weak, and he already had enough. Ever since I was a little girl, I was never afraid of him. I didn't care that he had a disease. He was my uncle, my favorite person in the world. I remember he nicked himself while shaving and I tried to touch him (I was a really small toddler) saying "Ouch, uncle." And he slapped my hand away, screaming "NO". I ran off crying my eyes out, and what I didn't realize was he was on the bathroom floor bawling as my mother consoled him. I was more scared that he snapped at me. These kinds of videos really mean a lot to me because it shows me that there's love and acceptance for something that's so frowned upon. Thank you for making this video, it really resonated with me.
This video taught me about so many things I didn't know about before and it is amazing to see how the world is changing so much so fast!
I am a long term survivor living with aids since 1984. I have lost so many friends and two lovers to the disease. Now, at the age of sixty, I have been diagnosed with a cancer that will take my life within a couple of years. I just want to thank you, Tyler, for this and your other videos that shine a light on LGBTQ history. As a community we need to know our history - where we come from. It is our legacy that made us what we are today.
YASSS TYLER, NEVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS LIKE THIS. LOVE YOU LOTS
Tyler you're doing so many amazing things and I'm so proud of you!
This is so inspiring, how people can act for equality, peace, and freedom worldwide. I am 23 and I just come out as gay to my family and friends, due in large part to your videos, Tyler, that made me feel much more stronger. Thank you so much. You inspired me to want to give my contribution to the lgbtq+ family and to make this world a better one.
I work at a non-profit and one of the populations we serve is those with HIV/AIDS. We have a program called "The Positive Life Workshop" to help the community, one is being held at the GMHC right now.
It's really amazing seeing people stand up for each other, thank you Tyler for using for platform to try and make a difference and to everyone else supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
This is just truly amazing, Tyler. Love you.
Thanks for creating this series and sticking with it!
I'm crying thank you Tyler so much for this series♡
I am READY for this!
