    I´m from Germany and I just started watching your videos and they are amazing. This video is very brave (and so are you) and I like how you talk about coming out!
    All of your videos or at least most of them have a good message. You have to tell the whole world something and I like that you do it!
    So love you (and Nicolay of cause) pleace make more videos :D

    When I come across coming out videos I sit in my room and really listen. Because it takes a lot of guts to do this and especially in your school situation. Best wishes, and hopefully others can accept you for who you truly are someday.

    I cant imagine how difficult or hard it was for you to come out to your friends and family , and your such a brave person you have all of my respect , I know we don't know each other but your blew me away with your story and its amazing what you've accomplished. Be who you are and don't let anyone tell u different :)

    Thanks for making your video, It really inspired me to see you being able to be so brave, i am already out and I am glad that you were able to make that step too. Just remember this isn't a one and done process, you will be coming out repeatedly during your life, the first time is the hardest but it gets better. Also I hope you make a lot of friends at your new school! It is really sad that your school would kick you out like that, it seems to me like they aren't as christian as they claim to be. Either way I know you have a bright future ahead of you, you will go far in life with or without that school. I subscribed and hope to see more of you videos soon!

    Kudos to you, Bro!!! I too am gay. I'm also a cop in the southern United States (commonly known as the Bible belt) which didn't make my coming out any easier. I am 35 and only wish that I could have come out and been myself at your age. Being a gay teen in the 90's was not nearly as accepted as it is now. I didn't feel comfortable enough coming out until I was around 23 or 24 years old. I'm so glad that the gay rights movement is still progressing and that kids like you are making this happen. Because of brave kids like you continuing to make an impact on the gay rights movement everyday, me being out at work amongst the guys isn't such a big thing anymore. Sure they all have questions and wonder, but they all seem to be accepting of me as one of their law enforcement brothers. Things will only continue to get better with time where one day being gay won't even be an issue. Thank you for what you're doing!!

    This is my current situation... I posted a post in Instagram that was hinting at it because I was bullied and beaten up and other people had convinced me that I was gay but I so wasn't ready and I still am not able to accept myself. I can't even say the word gay out loud, it just makes my anxiety spike and I can't take it

Keep growing, deepening and balancing your confidence and humility.

  • @kyihsin2917
    @kyihsin2917 10 лет назад +3

    For future reference (and for anyone thinking about coming out watching this video), when you're getting ready to come out, do NOT ask them to guess what it is. It's cruel to them, and not real pleasant for you when they start guessing much worse things than what the truth is.

  • @zombiekilller
    @zombiekilller 9 лет назад +3

    I havent come out to most of my family. Only 2 of my aunts, my uncles mom, my mom and my brother know im bi. But Im still afraid of telling the truth to my family since most of my family are old school christians (Going to church every sunday, preaching, etc) and I know that it will be a dark day for me. Thats why I decided to tell them Im bi when I move out of my family's house, away from judgement. I mean aside from them, ALOT of people know im bi on Instagram. I applaud you, someone whos younger than me (19 here) had the bigger balls to come out. Im glad you were a brave one.

  • @ur1bro
    @ur1bro 9 лет назад +1

    I am a subscriber and I like ur videos very much. What you said about ur Mom's reaction is so true cuz it happened with me the same way. My Mom was so upset and sad when I came out, all she could say was say "oh shit" and "dammit" and that worried me a lot and I got real nervous till she explained why she was so upset......grandchildren... And she worried that I'd never find someone to be happy with and would end up alone for the rest of my life. That one really upset her the most cuz man did she cry a lot about that one. Then I realized something .....she loved me so much she worried about my future happiness. So like you and many others I experienced an emotional and somewhat confrontational coming out with my Mom. But because she does love me so much she was willing to listen and change if it meant all of us learning and being happy as a family. You're a remarkable young man and I'm so happy you have such a caring and loving family. I believe your boyfriend is a real hero for you, he has stood by ur side because of his love for you. I admire the way he supports you throughout all ur recent trials with ur old school and other difficulties. Your coming out experience in Texas could've been a lot more difficult if it wasn't for ur family and ur boyfriend. Also I think ur compassion and empathy for others helped you to see the big picture where others may have just saw a teenage gay kid, they missed out on a truly inspiring friendship. God bless and live love and laugh ..... Big hugs 😇

    This is really close to my coming out story, to anyone still looking in the comments of this video I told 2 of my friends, then my family. No one really cared and it felt great to tell people who I was. The next day I went to school and we had a weird schedule so I was able to tell everyone and I cut ties with people who didn't like it and basically in a day a 12 year old gay boy in Delaware became the most talked about person and the most boss ass bitch.

    I commented on Nikolays, but I know that if I told my dad he'd probably beat me up and I just want to come out to my mom because she is supportive of anyone even in they're gay and she told me if one of her kids was gay she wouldn't care because we are still our kids, on the other hand my dad is not supportive of anyone who is even bi, and I really don't know what to do.

    I’m technically preparing my mom to tell her I’m pan and she says something like
    Mom: You will tell me I when you have a boyfriend
    Me: or girlfriend
    Mom: or girlfriend I guess
    So that’s how a lot of thing look with my mom
