I wish there were words to express how incredibly proud I am of you!! I'm forever grateful for you, for your love and understanding and for being exactly who you are!! There isn't a better person in the world!! You have been the BEST example to my kids and to me!❤️I love you both so much!❤️
So sweet to hear how Kayli supported you from the start. I couldn't help but notice both of you gradually break out on your necks as the story went on so I know retelling the story had to be hard, hope you were both okay after filming. 🥰
This is the most sincere, touching "coming out" story I have ever heard. This shows how important is to be supportive. Maybe to your sister that phone call was not a big deal, but it changed everthing, maybe you guys wouldn't be here today. This shows how important is to be kind to people. Thank you for sharing your story. Beijos from Brazil 😘
My daughter told me and her dad when she was 15. I know we did our job and created a loving environment because she felt comfortable enough to share that with us so young. I’ll forever pat myself on the back for that. It’s couples like you sharing your stories that gives these kids the courage to be themselves tho, I’m forever grateful for positive influences. Your videos help others understand, relate, and continue to normalize this completely normal lifestyle. Proud of you both.
Love that Kailey opened the door to your heart and inner dialog healing! She is LOVE 100%! Your parents are a product of their time (generation) and I am so happy thing s have changed!
I cried with you throughout this video. I'm so glad that you had your sister's support. It sounds like she saved your life. Thanks for telling us your story, I think you're saving a lot of lives doing this.
When I was struggling with accepting who I was I turned to youtube to see same sex couples in healthy, functioning relationships. I found your guys’ channel and it changed everything for me. It gave me the confidence to come out and embrace who I am, at 26 years old…. Your channel gave me hope. You’re right it does get better! Thank you for sharing your story publicly♥️ I strongly feel if it wasn’t for this channel I would have never came out!
I will never understand why anybody should of been mean to you for being upset or crying for not getting married. Of course you would be upset and then sometimes it’s like a ton of bricks hitting you and you just cry. You’ve been looking forward to that day and because of circumstances you just can’t be married on that day, last time I checked you were human and of course you’re going to feel upset people need to grow a heart. I know one day soon come September praying that is the day you will be married and you can finally call each other my wife. So happy you’re back❤️
It says so much that you remember that conversation with your sister so vividly vs barely remembering the conversations with your parents. It is so important to get that clear support from someone especially after being told off for just being who you are. I'm so glad you had that and that you guys had each other even if it was hard to figure everything out. Hearing the start of your story and seeing how far you have come, I'm so happy for you! Looking forward to both hearing more of your story and possibly seeing some wedding content real soon 🥰
As a straight male who moved to UT probably before you were born, and who is not LDS, I'm so sorry for your pain and how things went. I sadly see this too much here in UT. I'm a proud supporter of the LGBTQ+ community and so happy you two are on a better path. May others learn by your experience and find a positive path of their own.
WOW! What courage you have Markale. Your pain when you speak of your phone call with Kayli is palpable. I felt it from hundreds of miles away. My heart goes out to you. Kayli's statement when performing your wedding was spot on, you are both "strong and brave women." I commend you both for fighting for your love for one another. So many would buckle and conform to others wishes. I wish ya'll a long and happy life filled with love and joy. Live your best lives ladies and know that your videos will make a difference in the lives of the many gabies out here in internet land.
I feel like I have been waiting for this for so long because I am NOSY and love DRAMA! But I am so proud of you and so glad you felt comfortable enough to share because you wanted to! Thank you for taking the time to do this! As a fellow ADHD kid, I know how hard it is to do the things. Yay, you guys!
You were never a monster, and you are completely NORMAL. I am so happy you lived and your love affair endured. This could be a movie! Bottom line, you have something in each other neither of you were ever willing to give up. And we all hope for you that you never will have to.
Sisters are the best, I got married in 2019. My brother who I thought was supportive (he had been through the first 4 years of our relationship, why wouldn’t he be excited if our wedding) told us 4 weeks before that his family would not be coming. In my upset state of mind I instantly called my sister to make sure she knew I didn’t want her to come if it was against her beliefs too. She like Kayli was shocked I would even ask that. The conversations I had with her and my younger brother made a huge difference in how I was feeling. I am still hurt/upset about my other brother but was still able to enjoy our special time with the rest of the family. 💜
We are so sorry that you had to go through that! We're so happy though that your sister and younger brother were so supportive, it can make a huge difference!
I come from a very religious Jewish family and I knew I was gay since I was 13 and now I'm 19 and haven't told them since then cause I know how they'll react:( I relate to your coming out story a lot and I feel a bit comforted that I'm not the only one going through it. And growing up watching Kayli's family vlogs always wondering if they support the LGBTQ+ because they come from such a religious family as well, watching your coming out video made me so happy hearing that
Super appreciate your vulnerability in this Markale. It takes a lot to share your story. You and Jess were a big part in me living my honest life and finally coming out to my family last year. Keep on being rad and quite literally couple goals. You both rock 💕
Thank you for sharing your story. For someone over 50 and so buried in the closet I find your experience hits home why I will likely never come out of the closet. Again thank you for sharing.
Beautiful story, and I know how hard it must have been for you two. If we all can take away one thing from this, is that you felt like a “monster”. The sadness coming from you, I’m sure has been felt by thousands of teens, boys and girls, afraid to be outed. It breaks my heart, thank you for sharing this, you are strong, and so blessed to have each other. My sister in law was gay, she passed away and her sexuality didn’t change a thing of how much I loved her and her partner.
Kale - thank you for sharing your story. My wife and I have been watching your channel since the beginning, and weirdly enough we have the same anniversary (just 2 years later). I love that your sister was so supportive from the start. I feel like sometimes allies don't get the credit they deserve. Y'all are so lucky to have each other and I'm glad she was a voice of reason and encouragement in your darkest times. Take care and lots of love from Louisiana ❤️
I feel you on the ADHD issue of not starting unless I can finish the project all in one sitting, perfectly. I started little tasks or set timers. Great video and no surprise Kayli was amazing from the start. I love you guys.
Your moment with Kayli isn’t tiny it has a huge impact on how you felt at the time I was a nanny at the time I got outted my biggest worry about that was not having the kids bc I had been there since they were born I still have them and their mom is one of the people I could talk to about anything
I'm so proud of you for choosing to pick when the time was right for you to tell your own story and my heart absolutely breaks for you listening to your story. I totally agree that you have to allow people to change though. It took my mom almost 5-10 years to accept me coming out and this pride month she finally brought me my first rainbow thing (even if it was just a lego) and I cried just because it meant so much to me. So it totally does get better after it gets worse, people just have to come about it in their own times and in their own way. I'm so happy that you had Kayli as a big sister to be supportive for you and that the both of you have each other. The small things sometimes are the biggest things in your life especially when you feel the lowest of the low and can surprise you the most. Thank you both for being awesome role models.
Kale, you have a right to be upset when an important event is canceled. The emotion of something you have looked forward to for so long AND with all the shit going on, it is ok to cry. Crying is good for you, holding emotions in is so bad for you. I was supposed to do something I have dreamed about since I found out I was adopted at 24, my mom told me that after I was "outed" for the 2nd time. First time in high school. It went really bad. I felt I had no one. I did not date anyone for several years, and when I did, I dated a couple guys. I put myself in the closet, and locked the door. When I was told I was adopted, I found out I had older siblings. I found my bio siblings beginning of 2020. I planned to meet my oldest sister in Sept. That did not happen. Dates were pushed many times. We had planned to go, together, to Dallas to meet 3 more sisters. Sadly, one sister passed. I still have not met any of my siblings. When I was upset that my chance to meet the sibling who passed was stolen from me, I was told by a friend " you should not be upset, you don't even know her." So, I know what is must have been like for you to have such an important thing get canceled. Do not allow ANYONE tell you not to be sad. I am older than you guys, so my coming out was back in the days before cell phones, internet and Ellen. I located my bio family for medical reasons, never dreaming they wanted a relationship, because I assumed they knew about me, they did not. So, I know younger people will be asking you guys for advice on coming out. Any advice for an older person coming out again, especially when she found out via FB that at least 2 of her sisters are Republican and voted for the orange guy...? I posted so much during pride, music from LGBTQ artists, Harvey Milk quotes. My bio cousin's that are on my FB know, they have both told me they figured it out within 24 hours of friended me. Sorry this is such a long post, but I got very emotional during your video. I follow several younger couples on RUclips because I am interested in what it is like for the next generations, living in a world after Ellen, Melissa...and Brandi (BTW, Jess, has anyone ever told you that you look like Brandi Carlile?) My reason is...back when I locked myself in the closet, I locked myself away and "played the role" of a "straight" person. I dated a couple guys. The last guy I dated, well, I have a daughter. She is Kale's age. At 18, she came out to me and I took it really hard. Because my mom was horrible to be, the school was horrible, I was bullied, harassed, and hit. I did NOT want people to hate my kid because of something she had no control about. So, I put on a happy face for her. She stumbled when she was trying to find the words, I had figured it out weeks before, so I told her "I know what you are going to say and when you feel more comfortable to talk, we can do that, but I know, so the hard part is over." I then went and got several of my issues of OUT and Advocate magazines and the DVD of Chutney Popcorn (love that movie.) and wrote her a note. I told her telling my mom was not the best idea, but if she wanted to I would go with her, things will be rough sometimes, but if you chose the right friends and remember you are who you were born to be, you will be just fine." So, coming out is STILL hard. My kid, though I do not flaunt it, I'm very private, had a difficult time coming out to her lesbian mother. The reason so many people have been asking Kale is because it is STILL hard. Things are SO MUCH BETTER. I might get to walk my kid down the aisle. Yet, I, in my early 50's, can not find the right words to say to my bio sisters "hey, guess what, I'm the out of 5 that's gay". Good luck to you guys. Looking forward to pt 2.
You are one of the first RUclips channels I subscribed to, pretty much at the beginning of the channel. I watched all your videos, but it still makes me very emotional to hear this story to such a detail. I'm so happy how much things have changed and that you'll get to be married soon. You also were a big step on my own coming out journey .
This is the first video I have ever seen from you guys and it is amazing. Thank you, truly, for sharing your story It is always nice to hear other queer people's perspectives. I also came out my sophomore year of high school but that was in 2012 so I can't imagine how much harder it would have been if it was 2008 I can't wait to hear part two. The ending about the phonecall with your sister was very powerful
A lot of people will be weeping when we see that video. TALK ABOUT MEANINGFUL. The world will be a little more right when these two can say that they are married.
Thank you for this. I’m struggling with my Journey and being open with who I truly am. Many days it’s hard to think that things will get better because I know that my family will never change their mind how wrong being gay is. But hearing stories like this and seeing such a strong relationship really gives me hope that one day I will be happy and will be able to overcome all the hate. Thank you guys. ❤️
No one's right no one's wrong we just have different ways of thinking.Whats ok for one may not be agreeable to another but that doesn't mean that it's wrong.
I was very much in the same situation as you and one thing that has always helped me was remembering that family isn't always blood but those who choose to love and support you despite not sharing the same DNA. I was able to find an amazing found family that has been with me through all my ups and downs and love me and support me just the same. Remember that other people's ignorance and hate have absolutely no reflection on you or your character or value. I want you to know that I, and I'm sure many others, support you 100%!
@@RainbowDaisys Thank you very much. Knowing my family will never support me is what hurts the most. But being reminded that there are people out there that will support me gives me hope. I appreciate it.
@@mariayoung9657 I'm so sorry that your family is like that. There is definitely, as Jess said in her own coming out video years ago, a community out here who are happy to welcome you with open arms. It doesn't make up for your family -- nothing can exactly do that, I know -- but people who think you're great exactly the way you are help a lot, and they're there.
What you went through is trauma. I’m so sorry you had such hurtful reactions from your parents and other family. I’m so glad you found a safe space with Kayli. I’m curious if your parents knew about your other sister before or after they outed you, and if that helped them be more accepting or made their reaction to you harder. I really hope your parents, and anyone else in your family, that hurt you and made you feel like a monster have truly apologized and are making amends for the trauma inflicted. I volunteered for a group called Free Mom Hugs at SF pride the year before the pandemic. One person hugged me so tight and I overheard him telling his friends that his parents haven’t hugged him since he came out. So many stories like that that broke my heart. Love is love, and I wish everyone would recognize that. Especially parents. Sending you a huge hug. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤️
I went through something similar and the hardest part possibly not being able to spend time with my niece and nephew because I was so close to them and still are. They loved me with an unconditional love because they knew and know nothing different because I'm not different , I just love who I love! We also had to postpone our wedding and I was devastated, but you're right it gets better and when I married my wife, it was even better... Thanks for sharing, I can relate.
Was the phone the sidekick? I was raised Mormon. Left the church the second I turned 18. I can't even begin to imagine the rest of the story. Raised the way we were. Y'all are adorable btw. Ps. Kayli is the sweetest person ever!
The fact that youre taking a traumatic event from YOUR life and sharing it with all of us, is so incredibly brave. I was always someone replying to people who commented on every video asking for your coming out story, to just let you be, and you would share when you were ready. Seeing how hard it is for you to talk about it, and the fact that youre reliving all of this, just for the sake of helping others, is honestly so amazing. So so proud of you and being around to see your guys' journey since the beginning of this channel. So happy you have Jess to be there to support you through this hard topic. You guys are the best. I also agree with your story about telling Kayli....I had someone who I confided in when having the not so best coming out, as well...and what they said also saved me, made me feel NORMAL and VALID, and I will forever be grateful for that moment. God and the Universe puts people in our lives for a reason. That phone call with her only needed to be 5 mins. It was all you needed. So glad you had that moment of validation.
Good on you for pointing out how people where rude to you for something you did that they didn’t like for some reason. Even though it’s…. not a negative/unethical/deviant/whatever thing to do. People are so self righteous sometimes.
Its like i love your story and relate much on how living a life with so much pressure being a bi..wanna be in an open relationship but outside factors is very strong ..happy for both of you jess&kale❤
Did your parents ever catch you again? Did you find it difficult to see each other after that initial conversation? In high school, my girlfriend and I spent two years hiding our relationship from my conservative parents. It’s been nine years and we’re still together and out to everyone in our lives. While my parents are still not overtly accepting, it definitely gets better.
An IG feed I follow just shared this video and am watching it for the first time. Brought tears to my eyes at the end. I am a follower now and will continue to listen to your story.
Your story is similar to mine… except I waited until now to come out. 34, married to a man for 13 years. And have two kids. I wish I would have had some support and courage to be who I was. I knew at 15, after 3 years of secretly being with my best friend. My mom told everyone when she read my diary to shame and embarrass me. Here I am today, blowing up my whole life to live my truth and finally seek happiness. Thanks for sharing. This is a painful journey
*sighs* You never realize how much you miss someone until you see that wonderful notification. So happy for this video! What a great way to start a weekend. Such a fun, easy-going topic like coming out to disapproving parents.... said no-one ever!! I noticed a few cuts here and there during some of the more emotional parts. *hugs* Your sister is such a good honest person. You couldn't have asked for a better person to have your back.
You ladies hold such a place in my heart. Both of your journeys are so inspiring to me personally. I won’t ramble too much but the depth of love and care I have for you both is unexplainable. Definitely got choked up but it’s fine, I’m fine lol I look forward to seeing more to come from you beautiful ladies ❤️❤️
HI. As an avid watcher of all your videos. I am so glad that you have found the strength to say what you have. Raw feelings and emotions are never easy to go through but you have and you have risen up above all the negativity and shown so many people that it does indeed get better. The admiration I have for you both cannot be put into words. Thanks for sharing your story Kale and Jess thanks for being the great support that you are. I can't wait for part 2:)
I really appreciate you guys opening up and being honest with yourselves and the world. I hope your story can help save someone going through that struggle knowing it will get better one day. Your story may have save someone struggling life. Know you two have found your purpose in life and it’s to inspire and support others.
thank you so much for being vulnerable sharing your story with us, I remember first coming across your channel through Kayli and instantly became a fan! I teared up hearing you talk about your relationship with Kayli, I'm so glad that you had her as a support system. sending you both so much love, and im soooo looking forward to wedding pics!!
This is the most touching and honest video I’ve seen in a long time. Honestly watching it I was just so intently listening to everything you were saying and so shocked and heartbroken for you! I’m so happy you are getting your “it gets better” moments and that you are more comfortable with yourself and who you are. Sending so much love to you but also Jess cause you could see how much it hurt her going back as well! ❤️💜
I'm sorry you went through that. Glad things are better. Kayli is amazing, because she is a naturally good human. She doesn't need her beliefs to cloud her judgement and brain wash her to hate others.
Thank you for being on RUclips. Thank you for being so open. Thank you for being so brave. I have been a long time follower. Your story will help so many. My fiancé and I have very different stories. I was forced to come out after my then girlfriend threatened to tell my entire family after we broke up. I was terrified to tell my mom because I didn’t want her to be disappointed with me. I was in a very dark place, but luckily my mom was understanding. She supported me then and now. She is involved with my future wife and supports her as well.
Omg you are so strong don’t forget that ever! and believe me there’s alot of people needs to hear that from you, I’m one of them:)! Stay safe and remember that love always wins❤️
Truth be told, I have followed your channel since it’s origination, but it’s never really been my style to comment. However, I had to let you know how incredibly brave you are and how thankful I am that you decided to share your experience. I resonate with so much of your story. The trials, self doubt, and emotions. I grew up in the Deep South, the good ole Bible belt. I also graduated in 2005. Let’s just say, I was deep in that closet. My “coming out” was rather similar and I can ‘vividly’ ;) remember feeling like my life was over. However, just as you said it’s the small things that got me through and with time it really does it better. Unfortunately, our stories are not unique. There are thousands of other people whom have had or are having a similar experience. After my mine, I would watch hours of videos, like this one, just to know that I wasn’t alone. So, I know this is a novel comment but representation matters. Again, thank you both for being brave enough to share your life and experiences. Now get that podcast together, you’ve already got one listener! 🙋♀️
Words are power, saviors, hope and strength!! Thank God for your sister to guide you and your family through the darkness to see the love and live you have and continue to teach!!
Wow thank you for sharing your story. Also I came here to say that I always have thought Kayli was an angel on earth and this further solidified that. She is the absolute best. Love your family.
Thank you for sharing your story so bravely. I felt your pain and trauma, but also the strength you gained over the years. People make mistakes, our parent's humanity is difficult to digest, but we have to forgive to move forward and transform. You're right, it gets better. Can't wait for the second part. Love your way.
I read something recently that said you would never tell anyone not to be happy because other people are happier. So we should never tell someone not to be sad because there are other people who have sadder circumstances.
I was so excited when I seen this video show up on my feed. What an incredible story Kale. You are stronger than I could ever imagine and the way you told your story I felt it so much. Yours and Jess’s love story is amazing. Although it had its ups and downs, this goes to show that true love is real, and if you find someone worth fighting for everything will come out on top. I’m excited for the day you two get married! I’ve been watching your videos for so long now, and I know the best is yet to come! Much love to the both of you and Keani! I’m excited for part 2!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love from Ohio!
First of all I am so proud of you for sharing your story. Secondly we are blessed to have people that are willing to share like this on such a public platform. Thirdly God Bless your sister because she probably saved you in a very dark time. Last bit not least you two are freaking amazing! I am so glad I found your channel and find it inspiring! I am older than both of you and did not come out until I was in my mid thirties and at that point I was like accept or not this is who I am and I just want to be me. It took me a long time to figure out who I was. I was told I had to be straight. Blah blah blah. But when I was told basically I was worthless because I could not bare a biological child with a man who was just plain selfish. Then proceeded forward to adopt my children alone there was something about that, that set me free. I didn't care anymore. God loves all people. Religion sucks because there are a lot of false beliefs within religion. But when you cut out the middle man and take it to you and God well he loves all. I know I am loved by him. I have 5 beautiful adopted children and have fostered several more. I have made a difference in their lives. I have a partner we choose not to live together right now. MY choice but it is good. Things do get better. Together you guys have this! Thanks so much for sharing!
So glad to see you guys back and please know you are so loved and admired for everything you been through,you guys have a love story most people can only dream about thanks for sharing!
Sending you both a tonne of love,hugs and good vibes! Thank you for sharing your story, and yes some of us are certainly here for much more than just that! Missed you two!! Big props to Kayli too! The moment you asked that Q to her was crucial and she nailed it! I've been in your shoes too and never quite got the same response from my siblings but instead from other family members and they were my saving graces also!
Thank you for sharing your story. I loved hearing this! And to your amazing sister….. I always knew I liked her but the respect I have for her now is so much bigger.
Followed you for absolutely ages....,and eventually subscribed!!!...,always admired you and your journey together....and the absolute strength of your relationship...so real 😄...I can understand how hard it must have been to go through all of that awful day which you describe so honestly...and so many will appreciate you recounting the whole ‘episode’ 👏👏...so emotional....tears are ok whenever you want....all the reactions you had and felt are valid....what a truly good sister!!!..... that’s love which healed your self respect when you needed it so bad 💕....and we have all seen how much Jess loves you and you ..her in equal measure....It’s so great you now have home of your own together..AND the much delayed Wedding will be all the sweeter on That Day 🙏😍😍.....many times I have been happy or sad for you two over time...but you are strong together.... thank you Kale, for the telling of part 1....from (Sue UK ..follower of your channel)...🇬🇧💕🇺🇸
I am a 77 years old man and I just came across your video. I am in love with you both. Imagine the following scenario: you are two lovable young beautiful girls and everyone loves you. But as soon as you come out, there are some people that instantly hate you. Un believable!!!!! Why ? what has changed in you two? You have courage in you and you made it through. And it is this sort of behaviour that people don't like Mormons. I have a suggestion for you Move to Montreal, Quebec. You won't believe that 99% of us will accept you and love you without questions. Keep on loving and the hell for these narrow minded people. XXX
I think I have commented on like 1 or 2 of your videos. But I always enjoy seeing notifications for new videos from you ladies. You remind me of me and my wife tbh. Lol we have also been together a long time and got married on our 10 year anniversary. And I was also raised Mormon. But I am glad you are sharing your story Kale. I'm glad the story gets better! I just want to hug you both! You ladies are amazing! ❤
Ah good ol youtube land! Just because you got upset over having to put off your wedding DOESNT MEAN SOMEONE ELSES ISSUES DONT MATTER! It’s a feeling! If you’re dad, you’re sad! It’s not like you simultaneously thought,”I have the biggest problems right now and all I care about is myself”. They’ll twist it any way they can to troll. Crying DONT mean you don’t appreciate how insignificant your problem is compared to other people! Just don’t take it wrong, I would have felt the same way in your shoes, but I can recognize that it’s not the biggest problem, I love you guys. You make such a beautiful couple! You’re both gorgeous and I can tell how much you mean to each other. I’m sorry that all those years ago, they bring back memories of how you felt like a monster. You are stunning inside out, Kale, and so is Jess. No one should feel like this just because of who they love. I don’t like stereotypes, because you fall in love with the person.. I’m glad your story got better. I’m happy you guys have support from your family today!
Thanks for sharing this. I can see how painful it was to relive, and I can relate. It's unbelievably hard to think back and feel like that moment was taken from you, you never had time to come to terms with your sexuality and come out on your own terms. It's extremely traumatic to go through and the scars last a long time. I can also relate to your conversation with your sister, I was so worried family would not want me to see my niece! It's absolutely heartbreaking to think about. Luckily it does get better ❤
Kale and Jess I’m so proud of you. I’ve been following you for along time and just wanted to let you know that you have a great support system. You have some awesome sisters and family that is always going to be there cheering you on. Just wanted to let you know that I’m one of your biggest fans regardless.
Definitely interested in hearing how you told your parents later that you in fact were in a relationship with Jess after they expressed their disapproval. Did they just figure it out after college? Thanks for sharing your story!
I'm so very proud of you for telling all your coming out story Kale when I come out to my parents at 13 or 14 I got told i was going to hell for being that way inclined . My parents where very Catholic I'm glad so things went better for both of you 💕 and it was a happy ending 😊
I wish there were words to express how incredibly proud I am of you!! I'm forever grateful for you, for your love and understanding and for being exactly who you are!! There isn't a better person in the world!! You have been the BEST example to my kids and to me!❤️I love you both so much!❤️
I'm so glad that markale has such a great sister to support her!
your such a sweetheart kayli 💗💗
Kayli, you are truly an angel.
❤️
Stop it I'm crying 😢
I needed to hear your “tiny moment” with Kayli. That’s not tiny, it’s incredible.
So sweet to hear how Kayli supported you from the start. I couldn't help but notice both of you gradually break out on your necks as the story went on so I know retelling the story had to be hard, hope you were both okay after filming. 🥰
Would love to hear when and how your parents changed their minds. Thank you for sharing your story
I wouldn’t expect anything less from Kayli, she’s the kindest!
Kayli has the biggest heart. Not surprised by her support at all. Love that she was there for you and continues to love and support you both💛
Classic Kayli! I would never expect anything less from such a loving person like Kayli. Her heart is so genuine.
This is the most sincere, touching "coming out" story I have ever heard. This shows how important is to be supportive. Maybe to your sister that phone call was not a big deal, but it changed everthing, maybe you guys wouldn't be here today. This shows how important is to be kind to people. Thank you for sharing your story.
Beijos from Brazil 😘
My daughter told me and her dad when she was 15. I know we did our job and created a loving environment because she felt comfortable enough to share that with us so young. I’ll forever pat myself on the back for that. It’s couples like you sharing your stories that gives these kids the courage to be themselves tho, I’m forever grateful for positive influences.
Your videos help others understand, relate, and continue to normalize this completely normal lifestyle. Proud of you both.
Great video ladies. Cheers! :)
Love that Kailey opened the door to your heart and inner dialog healing! She is LOVE 100%! Your parents are a product of their time (generation) and I am so happy thing s have changed!
I cried with you throughout this video. I'm so glad that you had your sister's support. It sounds like she saved your life. Thanks for telling us your story, I think you're saving a lot of lives doing this.
When I was struggling with accepting who I was I turned to youtube to see same sex couples in healthy, functioning relationships. I found your guys’ channel and it changed everything for me. It gave me the confidence to come out and embrace who I am, at 26 years old…. Your channel gave me hope. You’re right it does get better! Thank you for sharing your story publicly♥️ I strongly feel if it wasn’t for this channel I would have never came out!
I wish I could do the same
@@bubba283 I hope sometime you can. ❤️
@@norarivkis2513 oh I'm better
that moment with kayli made me emotional 🥺 kayli truly is the sweetest and i can’t imagine how much that meant to you 🤍
I will never understand why anybody should of been mean to you for being upset or crying for not getting married. Of course you would be upset and then sometimes it’s like a ton of bricks hitting you and you just cry. You’ve been looking forward to that day and because of circumstances you just can’t be married on that day, last time I checked you were human and of course you’re going to feel upset people need to grow a heart. I know one day soon come September praying that is the day you will be married and you can finally call each other my wife. So happy you’re back❤️
It says so much that you remember that conversation with your sister so vividly vs barely remembering the conversations with your parents. It is so important to get that clear support from someone especially after being told off for just being who you are. I'm so glad you had that and that you guys had each other even if it was hard to figure everything out.
Hearing the start of your story and seeing how far you have come, I'm so happy for you! Looking forward to both hearing more of your story and possibly seeing some wedding content real soon 🥰
As a straight male who moved to UT probably before you were born, and who is not LDS, I'm so sorry for your pain and how things went. I sadly see this too much here in UT. I'm a proud supporter of the LGBTQ+ community and so happy you two are on a better path. May others learn by your experience and find a positive path of their own.
No one is born straight. Also they have the opportunity to try it? I don't understand why people always call themselves hetero. Try it out with a man
WOW! What courage you have Markale. Your pain when you speak of your phone call with Kayli is palpable. I felt it from hundreds of miles away. My heart goes out to you. Kayli's statement when performing your wedding was spot on, you are both "strong and brave women." I commend you both for fighting for your love for one another. So many would buckle and conform to others wishes. I wish ya'll a long and happy life filled with love and joy. Live your best lives ladies and know that your videos will make a difference in the lives of the many gabies out here in internet land.
I feel like I have been waiting for this for so long because I am NOSY and love DRAMA! But I am so proud of you and so glad you felt comfortable enough to share because you wanted to! Thank you for taking the time to do this! As a fellow ADHD kid, I know how hard it is to do the things. Yay, you guys!
When you said “I felt like a monster…” I felt that
You were never a monster, and you are completely NORMAL. I am so happy you lived and your love affair endured. This could be a movie! Bottom line, you have something in each other neither of you were ever willing to give up. And we all hope for you that you never will have to.
Sisters are the best, I got married in 2019. My brother who I thought was supportive (he had been through the first 4 years of our relationship, why wouldn’t he be excited if our wedding) told us 4 weeks before that his family would not be coming. In my upset state of mind I instantly called my sister to make sure she knew I didn’t want her to come if it was against her beliefs too. She like Kayli was shocked I would even ask that. The conversations I had with her and my younger brother made a huge difference in how I was feeling. I am still hurt/upset about my other brother but was still able to enjoy our special time with the rest of the family. 💜
We are so sorry that you had to go through that! We're so happy though that your sister and younger brother were so supportive, it can make a huge difference!
I come from a very religious Jewish family and I knew I was gay since I was 13 and now I'm 19 and haven't told them since then cause I know how they'll react:( I relate to your coming out story a lot and I feel a bit comforted that I'm not the only one going through it.
And growing up watching Kayli's family vlogs always wondering if they support the LGBTQ+ because they come from such a religious family as well, watching your coming out video made me so happy hearing that
I love that Kayli was supportive from the start. Thank you both for being so raw and open with your viewers.
I wasn’t ready for this video to end. It was so moving and emotional. Well said ❤️❤️🌈🌈
Super appreciate your vulnerability in this Markale. It takes a lot to share your story. You and Jess were a big part in me living my honest life and finally coming out to my family last year. Keep on being rad and quite literally couple goals. You both rock 💕
Thank you for sharing your story. For someone over 50 and so buried in the closet I find your experience hits home why I will likely never come out of the closet. Again thank you for sharing.
Beautiful story, and I know how hard it must have been for you two. If we all can take away one thing from this, is that you felt like a “monster”. The sadness coming from you, I’m sure has been felt by thousands of teens, boys and girls, afraid to be outed. It breaks my heart, thank you for sharing this, you are strong, and so blessed to have each other. My sister in law was gay, she passed away and her sexuality didn’t change a thing of how much I loved her and her partner.
Kale - thank you for sharing your story. My wife and I have been watching your channel since the beginning, and weirdly enough we have the same anniversary (just 2 years later). I love that your sister was so supportive from the start. I feel like sometimes allies don't get the credit they deserve. Y'all are so lucky to have each other and I'm glad she was a voice of reason and encouragement in your darkest times. Take care and lots of love from Louisiana ❤️
I feel you on the ADHD issue of not starting unless I can finish the project all in one sitting, perfectly. I started little tasks or set timers. Great video and no surprise Kayli was amazing from the start. I love you guys.
As someone who had not the best coming out story, I’m so proud of you for sharing. We are sooooo ready for part 2 😃. Anyone else, or just me?
Your moment with Kayli isn’t tiny it has a huge impact on how you felt at the time I was a nanny at the time I got outted my biggest worry about that was not having the kids bc I had been there since they were born I still have them and their mom is one of the people I could talk to about anything
I'm so proud of you for choosing to pick when the time was right for you to tell your own story and my heart absolutely breaks for you listening to your story. I totally agree that you have to allow people to change though. It took my mom almost 5-10 years to accept me coming out and this pride month she finally brought me my first rainbow thing (even if it was just a lego) and I cried just because it meant so much to me. So it totally does get better after it gets worse, people just have to come about it in their own times and in their own way.
I'm so happy that you had Kayli as a big sister to be supportive for you and that the both of you have each other. The small things sometimes are the biggest things in your life especially when you feel the lowest of the low and can surprise you the most. Thank you both for being awesome role models.
Kale, you have a right to be upset when an important event is canceled. The emotion of something you have looked forward to for so long AND with all the shit going on, it is ok to cry. Crying is good for you, holding emotions in is so bad for you. I was supposed to do something I have dreamed about since I found out I was adopted at 24, my mom told me that after I was "outed" for the 2nd time. First time in high school. It went really bad. I felt I had no one. I did not date anyone for several years, and when I did, I dated a couple guys. I put myself in the closet, and locked the door. When I was told I was adopted, I found out I had older siblings. I found my bio siblings beginning of 2020. I planned to meet my oldest sister in Sept. That did not happen. Dates were pushed many times. We had planned to go, together, to Dallas to meet 3 more sisters. Sadly, one sister passed. I still have not met any of my siblings. When I was upset that my chance to meet the sibling who passed was stolen from me, I was told by a friend " you should not be upset, you don't even know her." So, I know what is must have been like for you to have such an important thing get canceled. Do not allow ANYONE tell you not to be sad. I am older than you guys, so my coming out was back in the days before cell phones, internet and Ellen. I located my bio family for medical reasons, never dreaming they wanted a relationship, because I assumed they knew about me, they did not. So, I know younger people will be asking you guys for advice on coming out. Any advice for an older person coming out again, especially when she found out via FB that at least 2 of her sisters are Republican and voted for the orange guy...? I posted so much during pride, music from LGBTQ artists, Harvey Milk quotes. My bio cousin's that are on my FB know, they have both told me they figured it out within 24 hours of friended me. Sorry this is such a long post, but I got very emotional during your video. I follow several younger couples on RUclips because I am interested in what it is like for the next generations, living in a world after Ellen, Melissa...and Brandi (BTW, Jess, has anyone ever told you that you look like Brandi Carlile?) My reason is...back when I locked myself in the closet, I locked myself away and "played the role" of a "straight" person. I dated a couple guys. The last guy I dated, well, I have a daughter. She is Kale's age. At 18, she came out to me and I took it really hard. Because my mom was horrible to be, the school was horrible, I was bullied, harassed, and hit. I did NOT want people to hate my kid because of something she had no control about. So, I put on a happy face for her. She stumbled when she was trying to find the words, I had figured it out weeks before, so I told her "I know what you are going to say and when you feel more comfortable to talk, we can do that, but I know, so the hard part is over." I then went and got several of my issues of OUT and Advocate magazines and the DVD of Chutney Popcorn (love that movie.) and wrote her a note. I told her telling my mom was not the best idea, but if she wanted to I would go with her, things will be rough sometimes, but if you chose the right friends and remember you are who you were born to be, you will be just fine." So, coming out is STILL hard. My kid, though I do not flaunt it, I'm very private, had a difficult time coming out to her lesbian mother. The reason so many people have been asking Kale is because it is STILL hard. Things are SO MUCH BETTER. I might get to walk my kid down the aisle. Yet, I, in my early 50's, can not find the right words to say to my bio sisters "hey, guess what, I'm the out of 5 that's gay". Good luck to you guys. Looking forward to pt 2.
so proud of you for having the courage to talk about your story, i'm sure it's not easy. I really look up to you both
I wish I could be this open about being a gay guy it's depressing
I am fully out as asexual -thank you, you were the 1st lgbt RUclipsrs I came across, and you have helped me so much. Thank you
Welcome to the club! Just know that most people will always respond with "You never know"
Thank you for this, I’m 32 and I still struggle…this really hits hard for me
You are one of the first RUclips channels I subscribed to, pretty much at the beginning of the channel.
I watched all your videos, but it still makes me very emotional to hear this story to such a detail.
I'm so happy how much things have changed and that you'll get to be married soon.
You also were a big step on my own coming out journey .
This is the first video I have ever seen from you guys and it is amazing. Thank you, truly, for sharing your story
It is always nice to hear other queer people's perspectives. I also came out my sophomore year of high school but that was in 2012 so I can't imagine how much harder it would have been if it was 2008
I can't wait to hear part two. The ending about the phonecall with your sister was very powerful
How weird! It’s my first video too. Just found them today. I’m a fan and can’t wait to watch the rest of them. ❤️🔥👍🏻
Thank you for sharing your very difficult story. Please know you are saving lives.
Omg I never clicked on a notification so fast... I've missed you How dare people be rude to you. When ever the wedding happens it's going to be epic 🧡
A lot of people will be weeping when we see that video. TALK ABOUT MEANINGFUL. The world will be a little more right when these two can say that they are married.
@@landslave8367 can't wait for it to be official they deserve nothing but happiness
Thank you for this. I’m struggling with my Journey and being open with who I truly am. Many days it’s hard to think that things will get better because I know that my family will never change their mind how wrong being gay is. But hearing stories like this and seeing such a strong relationship really gives me hope that one day I will be happy and will be able to overcome all the hate. Thank you guys. ❤️
No one's right no one's wrong we just have different ways of thinking.Whats ok for one may not be agreeable to another but that doesn't mean that it's wrong.
I was very much in the same situation as you and one thing that has always helped me was remembering that family isn't always blood but those who choose to love and support you despite not sharing the same DNA. I was able to find an amazing found family that has been with me through all my ups and downs and love me and support me just the same. Remember that other people's ignorance and hate have absolutely no reflection on you or your character or value. I want you to know that I, and I'm sure many others, support you 100%!
@@RainbowDaisys Thank you very much. Knowing my family will never support me is what hurts the most. But being reminded that there are people out there that will support me gives me hope. I appreciate it.
@@mariayoung9657 I'm so sorry that your family is like that. There is definitely, as Jess said in her own coming out video years ago, a community out here who are happy to welcome you with open arms. It doesn't make up for your family -- nothing can exactly do that, I know -- but people who think you're great exactly the way you are help a lot, and they're there.
What you went through is trauma. I’m so sorry you had such hurtful reactions from your parents and other family. I’m so glad you found a safe space with Kayli. I’m curious if your parents knew about your other sister before or after they outed you, and if that helped them be more accepting or made their reaction to you harder. I really hope your parents, and anyone else in your family, that hurt you and made you feel like a monster have truly apologized and are making amends for the trauma inflicted. I volunteered for a group called Free Mom Hugs at SF pride the year before the pandemic. One person hugged me so tight and I overheard him telling his friends that his parents haven’t hugged him since he came out. So many stories like that that broke my heart. Love is love, and I wish everyone would recognize that. Especially parents. Sending you a huge hug. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤️
I know you’ve been busy with your wedding, but can’t wait to see part 2!! I’ll have to watch this again to remember 😊
I went through something similar and the hardest part possibly not being able to spend time with my niece and nephew because I was so close to them and still are. They loved me with an unconditional love because they knew and know nothing different because I'm not different , I just love who I love!
We also had to postpone our wedding and I was devastated, but you're right it gets better and when I married my wife, it was even better...
Thanks for sharing, I can relate.
Was the phone the sidekick?
I was raised Mormon. Left the church the second I turned 18. I can't even begin to imagine the rest of the story. Raised the way we were. Y'all are adorable btw. Ps. Kayli is the sweetest person ever!
The fact that youre taking a traumatic event from YOUR life and sharing it with all of us, is so incredibly brave. I was always someone replying to people who commented on every video asking for your coming out story, to just let you be, and you would share when you were ready. Seeing how hard it is for you to talk about it, and the fact that youre reliving all of this, just for the sake of helping others, is honestly so amazing. So so proud of you and being around to see your guys' journey since the beginning of this channel. So happy you have Jess to be there to support you through this hard topic. You guys are the best.
I also agree with your story about telling Kayli....I had someone who I confided in when having the not so best coming out, as well...and what they said also saved me, made me feel NORMAL and VALID, and I will forever be grateful for that moment. God and the Universe puts people in our lives for a reason. That phone call with her only needed to be 5 mins. It was all you needed. So glad you had that moment of validation.
Good on you for pointing out how people where rude to you for something you did that they didn’t like for some reason. Even though it’s…. not a negative/unethical/deviant/whatever thing to do. People are so self righteous sometimes.
I was just thinking about you guys the other day, wondering if you would show up before Vlogmas. So, well done on touching down in July!
Its like i love your story and relate much on how living a life with so much pressure being a bi..wanna be in an open relationship but outside factors is very strong ..happy for both of you jess&kale❤
Did your parents ever catch you again? Did you find it difficult to see each other after that initial conversation? In high school, my girlfriend and I spent two years hiding our relationship from my conservative parents. It’s been nine years and we’re still together and out to everyone in our lives. While my parents are still not overtly accepting, it definitely gets better.
An IG feed I follow just shared this video and am watching it for the first time. Brought tears to my eyes at the end. I am a follower now and will continue to listen to your story.
Your story is similar to mine… except I waited until now to come out. 34, married to a man for 13 years. And have two kids. I wish I would have had some support and courage to be who I was. I knew at 15, after 3 years of secretly being with my best friend. My mom told everyone when she read my diary to shame and embarrass me. Here I am today, blowing up my whole life to live my truth and finally seek happiness. Thanks for sharing. This is a painful journey
*sighs* You never realize how much you miss someone until you see that wonderful notification. So happy for this video! What a great way to start a weekend.
Such a fun, easy-going topic like coming out to disapproving parents.... said no-one ever!! I noticed a few cuts here and there during some of the more emotional parts. *hugs* Your sister is such a good honest person. You couldn't have asked for a better person to have your back.
You ladies hold such a place in my heart. Both of your journeys are so inspiring to me personally. I won’t ramble too much but the depth of love and care I have for you both is unexplainable. Definitely got choked up but it’s fine, I’m fine lol I look forward to seeing more to come from you beautiful ladies ❤️❤️
If your mom and you are up to it, your mom should give her side of this story.
HI. As an avid watcher of all your videos. I am so glad that you have found the strength to say what you have. Raw feelings and emotions are never easy to go through but you have and you have risen up above all the negativity and shown so many people that it does indeed get better. The admiration I have for you both cannot be put into words. Thanks for sharing your story Kale and Jess thanks for being the great support that you are. I can't wait for part 2:)
Glad you let us in
I really appreciate you guys opening up and being honest with yourselves and the world. I hope your story can help save someone going through that struggle knowing it will get better one day. Your story may have save someone struggling life. Know you two have found your purpose in life and it’s to inspire and support others.
Thank you 🤗 That means so much to us! ❤️❤️
thank you so much for being vulnerable sharing your story with us, I remember first coming across your channel through Kayli and instantly became a fan! I teared up hearing you talk about your relationship with Kayli, I'm so glad that you had her as a support system. sending you both so much love, and im soooo looking forward to wedding pics!!
This is the most touching and honest video I’ve seen in a long time. Honestly watching it I was just so intently listening to everything you were saying and so shocked and heartbroken for you! I’m so happy you are getting your “it gets better” moments and that you are more comfortable with yourself and who you are. Sending so much love to you but also Jess cause you could see how much it hurt her going back as well! ❤️💜
I'm sorry you went through that. Glad things are better. Kayli is amazing, because she is a naturally good human. She doesn't need her beliefs to cloud her judgement and brain wash her to hate others.
Thank you for being on RUclips. Thank you for being so open. Thank you for being so brave. I have been a long time follower. Your story will help so many. My fiancé and I have very different stories. I was forced to come out after my then girlfriend threatened to tell my entire family after we broke up. I was terrified to tell my mom because I didn’t want her to be disappointed with me. I was in a very dark place, but luckily my mom was understanding. She supported me then and now. She is involved with my future wife and supports her as well.
A found out story…that’s a lovely way to say that
Omg you are so strong don’t forget that ever!
and believe me there’s alot of people needs to hear that from you, I’m one of them:)!
Stay safe and remember that love always wins❤️
Thank you so much!
Truth be told, I have followed your channel since it’s origination, but it’s never really been my style to comment. However, I had to let you know how incredibly brave you are and how thankful I am that you decided to share your experience.
I resonate with so much of your story. The trials, self doubt, and emotions. I grew up in the Deep South, the good ole Bible belt. I also graduated in 2005. Let’s just say, I was deep in that closet. My “coming out” was rather similar and I can ‘vividly’ ;) remember feeling like my life was over. However, just as you said it’s the small things that got me through and with time it really does it better.
Unfortunately, our stories are not unique. There are thousands of other people whom have had or are having a similar experience. After my mine, I would watch hours of videos, like this one, just to know that I wasn’t alone. So, I know this is a novel comment but representation matters. Again, thank you both for being brave enough to share your life and experiences.
Now get that podcast together, you’ve already got one listener! 🙋♀️
Words are power, saviors, hope and strength!! Thank God for your sister to guide you and your family through the darkness to see the love and live you have and continue to teach!!
I MISSED YOU GUYS AND I LOVE YOU GUYS❤️
Love this! Looking forward to part 2!
Wow thank you for sharing your story. Also I came here to say that I always have thought Kayli was an angel on earth and this further solidified that. She is the absolute best. Love your family.
LG Envy! That just brought back a lot of memories to when I had that phone in 2008 😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing your story so bravely. I felt your pain and trauma, but also the strength you gained over the years. People make mistakes, our parent's humanity is difficult to digest, but we have to forgive to move forward and transform. You're right, it gets better. Can't wait for the second part. Love your way.
I read something recently that said you would never tell anyone not to be happy because other people are happier. So we should never tell someone not to be sad because there are other people who have sadder circumstances.
This is heartbreaking to hear, I have to keep reminding myself it has a happy ending 🥰
I was so excited when I seen this video show up on my feed. What an incredible story Kale. You are stronger than I could ever imagine and the way you told your story I felt it so much. Yours and Jess’s love story is amazing. Although it had its ups and downs, this goes to show that true love is real, and if you find someone worth fighting for everything will come out on top. I’m excited for the day you two get married! I’ve been watching your videos for so long now, and I know the best is yet to come! Much love to the both of you and Keani! I’m excited for part 2!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love from Ohio!
You are a true inspiration❤ I had my teenagers watch this video. More of these conversations need to take place. Thank you!
First of all I am so proud of you for sharing your story. Secondly we are blessed to have people that are willing to share like this on such a public platform. Thirdly God Bless your sister because she probably saved you in a very dark time. Last bit not least you two are freaking amazing! I am so glad I found your channel and find it inspiring! I am older than both of you and did not come out until I was in my mid thirties and at that point I was like accept or not this is who I am and I just want to be me. It took me a long time to figure out who I was. I was told I had to be straight. Blah blah blah. But when I was told basically I was worthless because I could not bare a biological child with a man who was just plain selfish. Then proceeded forward to adopt my children alone there was something about that, that set me free. I didn't care anymore. God loves all people. Religion sucks because there are a lot of false beliefs within religion. But when you cut out the middle man and take it to you and God well he loves all. I know I am loved by him. I have 5 beautiful adopted children and have fostered several more. I have made a difference in their lives. I have a partner we choose not to live together right now. MY choice but it is good. Things do get better. Together you guys have this! Thanks so much for sharing!
Bless your heart Kayli... And good for both of you guys for being able to share your stories
So glad to see you guys back and please know you are so loved and admired for everything you been through,you guys have a love story most people can only dream about thanks for sharing!
Sending you both a tonne of love,hugs and good vibes! Thank you for sharing your story, and yes some of us are certainly here for much more than just that! Missed you two!! Big props to Kayli too! The moment you asked that Q to her was crucial and she nailed it! I've been in your shoes too and never quite got the same response from my siblings but instead from other family members and they were my saving graces also!
Thank you for sharing your story. I loved hearing this! And to your amazing sister….. I always knew I liked her but the respect I have for her now is so much bigger.
Followed you for absolutely ages....,and eventually subscribed!!!...,always admired you and your journey together....and the absolute strength of your relationship...so real 😄...I can understand how hard it must have been to go through all of that awful day which you describe so honestly...and so many will appreciate you recounting the whole ‘episode’ 👏👏...so emotional....tears are ok whenever you want....all the reactions you had and felt are valid....what a truly good sister!!!..... that’s love which healed your self respect when you needed it so bad 💕....and we have all seen how much Jess loves you and you ..her in equal measure....It’s so great you now have home of your own together..AND the much delayed Wedding will be all the sweeter on That Day 🙏😍😍.....many times I have been happy or sad for you two over time...but you are strong together.... thank you Kale, for the telling of part 1....from (Sue UK ..follower of your channel)...🇬🇧💕🇺🇸
I am a 77 years old man and I just came across your video. I am in love with you both. Imagine the following scenario: you are two lovable young beautiful girls and everyone loves you. But as soon as you come out, there are some people that instantly hate you. Un believable!!!!! Why ? what has changed in you two? You have courage in you and you made it through. And it is this sort of behaviour that people don't like Mormons. I have a suggestion for you Move to Montreal, Quebec. You won't believe that 99% of us will accept you and love you without questions. Keep on loving and the hell for these narrow minded people. XXX
I think I have commented on like 1 or 2 of your videos. But I always enjoy seeing notifications for new videos from you ladies. You remind me of me and my wife tbh. Lol we have also been together a long time and got married on our 10 year anniversary. And I was also raised Mormon. But I am glad you are sharing your story Kale. I'm glad the story gets better! I just want to hug you both! You ladies are amazing! ❤
The two of you are so real and I love your content. Don’t worry about the bad comments. Us good ones got you!
we stan Kayli
no question. sorry for your tears 😢 but sooo proud that you share your story 👍 thank you
I think the phone you are talking about is the sidekick. Also, such a great video goes to show you how one person can make a huge impact.
Ah good ol youtube land! Just because you got upset over having to put off your wedding DOESNT MEAN SOMEONE ELSES ISSUES DONT MATTER! It’s a feeling! If you’re dad, you’re sad! It’s not like you simultaneously thought,”I have the biggest problems right now and all I care about is myself”. They’ll twist it any way they can to troll. Crying DONT mean you don’t appreciate how insignificant your problem is compared to other people! Just don’t take it wrong, I would have felt the same way in your shoes, but I can recognize that it’s not the biggest problem, I love you guys. You make such a beautiful couple! You’re both gorgeous and I can tell how much you mean to each other. I’m sorry that all those years ago, they bring back memories of how you felt like a monster. You are stunning inside out, Kale, and so is Jess. No one should feel like this just because of who they love. I don’t like stereotypes, because you fall in love with the person.. I’m glad your story got better. I’m happy you guys have support from your family today!
Thanks for sharing this. I can see how painful it was to relive, and I can relate. It's unbelievably hard to think back and feel like that moment was taken from you, you never had time to come to terms with your sexuality and come out on your own terms. It's extremely traumatic to go through and the scars last a long time. I can also relate to your conversation with your sister, I was so worried family would not want me to see my niece! It's absolutely heartbreaking to think about. Luckily it does get better ❤
Kale and Jess I’m so proud of you. I’ve been following you for along time and just wanted to let you know that you have a great support system. You have some awesome sisters and family that is always going to be there cheering you on. Just wanted to let you know that I’m one of your biggest fans regardless.
Missed y'all two. And don't worry with people and their hate comments no one would ever know how Important that day was for you...
Definitely interested in hearing how you told your parents later that you in fact were in a relationship with Jess after they expressed their disapproval. Did they just figure it out after college?
Thanks for sharing your story!
This is something we will address more in pt 2. ❤️❤️
things get better and that’s awesome to know. With that in mind, also know it isn’t easy being parents at times.
Not a question but it would be so lovely if Kayli came on and you did some storytime together about what it was like from her perspective too.
This is something we would love to do and hopefully will happen in the near future! ❤️
I've been with you guys for awhile. I remember your how we met and girl friend videos. This is such an honest sharing. Thank you.
I'm so very proud of you for telling all your coming out story Kale when I come out to my parents at 13 or 14 I got told i was going to hell for being that way inclined . My parents where very Catholic I'm glad so things went better for both of you 💕 and it was a happy ending 😊
Two things can be True at same time…Good Advice!
Is there a sequel or part 2 to this story time?
So proud of you ! You took the time that was needed to be able to do this. Really glad you feel you can. Thank you . Lots of love.
