    Scott "Amico Mio" I know your great contribution to the "Coming Out" archive is getting on a bit here, but Bobby Griffiths' (Prayers for Bobby) old lover/boyfriend "Blaine" here, believes it's never too late to tell a friend just how fricken proud he is of him!

    Con L'Amore e Molti Baci!  (With Love And Kisses)

    Il Tuo Nuovo Zio "Gay" e Amico! (Your New "Gay" Uncle And Friend)

  • im thinkin bout comin out to people i now but im nervous as hell and dont now how people will treat me

  • @midevilmonkeyterd tell a really close friend, or someone you just trust the most. that should make it easier, and help you feel less nervous. good luck, and remember who you are is awesome, and no one can take that away from you!

  • @midevilmonkeyterd tell a really close friend that is open! youll feel really good.

  • ok im a girl and ur hot

  • everything that i have done is clear evidence that i was able to get on with my life as soonas i just told my parents this is who i am and i have no intention of changing to satisfy you you know just love me or hate me i dont care and they where just really cool about it and they said well yeah we figured we didnt need you to tell me that but i really admire what ypou did though coz it does take some courage to do it come out to your family i was shaking when i did this and i had to do it alone.

  • dude i really dont think you should have been worried i did the same thing with my parents they where the only people i had to turn but they where really excepting of it but now life is great i know hundreds of people they all love me for who i am even straight guys dont give a shit and now and i 19 living in the united kingdom i have my own business a husband live in a seven bedroomed house regular parties and 2 adopted childrenand going to university doing fashion and clothing.

  • damn cutie pie lol am gay too hit me up some time

  • I love your story!

    :)

  • i know exactly what you went thru cuz i am going thru it. im 21 and coming out it took a heavy toll on me. but it is not a choice and nobody should be punished for how they were born. Sexual Attraction is something we can NOT control. good luck and god bless.

  • You are extremely cute :)

    Thanks for the story!

    You were very lucky

  • i would never guess you were gay without you saying [:

  • I just ran across your interview series, and I just want to say how much I appreciate you and your family doing them. Your family models how a family ought to work! I want your mother for my own! (even though I'm probably older than she is ;)

    You are awfully lucky in being Canadian, but not nearly so much as having your family! Thanks.

  • Well, I'd say, so far so good. You've got a good head on your shoulders brother and I'm proud to have you on our side. Things will only get better now! Hang in there and be strong man!

  • I love ur coming out story mines was so different, but it was when I was 18.lol now I am 20. Ur so handsome by the way.lol

    :))

  • You're cool, and attractive, Austin, Texas :-P ??

  • i love you

  • well that is inspiring, i have only come out to my mother and all of my friends and they seem to have no problem with it... there was a few funny moments and akward silences but is so much more of a relief instead of looking over my shoulder everytime i went out with my boyfriend, now all i have to do is remove the remander of the lurking shadow and tell the rest of my family but i am in a happy place.

    I'd just like to say thankyou, you are an inspiring young adult and are a true inspiration

  • Hey I come from a farming community, now live in near a big city. As for going to a catholic school. Man I feel for you. Haha. Great job

  • @dontmakemeMADhelper1 I think you're flirting with us

  • @dontmakemeMADhelper1 you are a disease

  • i think hes hot there lol

  • whish i had your parents... i guess some ppl are not as lucky to have great open minded parents...

  • I heard that the president of Iran said there were no gays in Iran. I thought that was weird. With a population that large, some people must be gay. I guess no Iranians have came out yet.

  • Great story. I'm very conservative, against gay marriage but for different reasons than most. That said I am first and foremost a libertarian, and I'm proud to live in a country were individuals like yourself (in what could in other cultures be a compromising situation) are free to express and be themselves. bravo.

  • wow i honestly if i were to see you somewhere or talk to you i would never suspect you were homosexual.

    Its nice to see that someone like you can be an example that not all homosexual men are feminine

    You inspire me =]

  • I would have never have guess you're gay! I'm gay too! Haha! =)

  • You "hit the nail on the head" by stating fear of the "what if". You obviously set a good example of a gay person. I'm certain you will be a positive force for gay people through out your life. If only we had You Tube many decades ago, and people such as yourself posting blogs, many suicides might have been avoided, and more straight people would have a more positive acceptance of gay orientation. Good for you, and thank you.

  • I LIKE BOYS 2 IT KOOL... BUT RELAX

  • @big93scott

    You are truly blessed in your family and it’s great to hear you express

    your gratitude for that! The closet kills!

    I can't help but being so proud of you my friend! The world you will be

    "out" in is a far less hostile place than that which I came out in as a boy!

    When I was not yet 18, I met and fell in love with a boy named Bobby

    Griffith(Prayers for Bobby).

  • @big93scott

    His family at the time was dogmatically

    religious, and the pain of the closet was unbearable for him. He took

    his own life in 1983! Thankfully that was a long time ago and much has

    changed. We're not quite there yet, but full inclusion is within sight!

  • @big93scott

    It thrills me to know that you will be able to lead an authentic life as

    a gay man, and will even likely be able to marry the person whom you

    love, if you so choose!

    Yeah!!!!

    May G-D Bless You!

    Blaine

  • Comment removed

  • that's awesome man, i'm happy for you. 

  • lol - I feel your pain man! haha

  • you don't seem to realize that gay jock IS a stereotype

    although i agree with you that most gay guys aren't visibly effeminate and don't feign interest in sports to look manly, those are definitely misconceptions

  • how old would you be in grade 3? im english so i dont get grades :L

  • That would be about 7 or 8 years old

  • yes you are lucky.... try living in a fucked up, homophobic, eastern european country ......imagine how i feel

  • dude...so i dont know how old this video is or how out you are at this point but heres how i look at it.

    being gay is not something that you have to go and anounce to the world. its a piece of you, and you r right it helps you be who you really are, but its not who you are. When you meet people they dont come out to you as hetrosexual so there really is no need for you to come out as homosexual to everyone that you meet. unless you really want to. thats just my POV.

  • you're brave man. braver than me im to scared to come out to my family

  • @guy3911 same here

  • Coming out of where?

  • Nice video. Im glad that you shared this with everyone.

  • Good video dude!!! I'm a 13 year old lesbian and in 8th grade and my school is very homophobia. If I told one of my friends it would pass on and spread rumors and eventually everyone in the school will hate me for who I am.

  • Very good story, and good for you wanting to "break the barrier" at your school, if only more people were as self accepting as yourself :)

  • Are you the youngest of your siblings?

  • i 'm pleased it was a good experience for you. it's a shame that so many others, mine included aren't so lucky. big hug 2 u!

  • i'm glad your experience was a lot better than mine, i'm 31 now and my mum still thinks it a phase which can be cured by good old christianity!!!! i know it's just tragic !!!!

  • @scheiSSkind77 wtf i didn't even know you were black but you need to leave people alone and stop judging just because of who they are!

  • @scheiSSkind77 well you might be 45 but your way of thinking is like a stupid kid!

  • @scheiSSkind77 you need to fucking grow up dumb ass bitch!

  • @scheiSSkind77 STUPID BITCH it's his life and he can do with it whatever he wants and you're nobody to be judging who he is!

  • @scheiSSkind77 very observant.

  • well at least one of us was able to admit it in jr high.

  • I'm glad it worked out so good for you -- you seem like a nice guy. For so many people those fears of coming out become reality when they do and lives are never the same. Good for you and your family.

  • being gay is so normal, its a shame you had to make an announcement to the world . Straights don't have to worry about what others will think. Be proud of who you are.

  • Call on the name of Yahuah of hosts, he made you Gay and not that impostor on a cross. The Roman Catholic man invented god with the Greek name. They say that God is all things, so stop throwing stones at God!!!!!

    Revelation 3:9

    Hosea 13:4

    HallEluYah.

    BTW Repent from not accepting who you are!!!!!!!

    Love letters to stoodOnAnArk, Christian letters to Vatican City.

  • im out to like four people officially but alot of people think they know but luckily 3 of those people r good friends (ones kinda a boyfriend) and the others an ex girl friend so think of that wat u will lol

  • @asimpleinstrument

    I see that this little quarrel has resurrected. I'll just chime in that a master's degree in theology is much the same as a doctorate in Scientology dianetics, or like certification in the field of paranormal ghost-hunting. It's a subject which largely chases after make-believe concepts, and makes no apologies for doing so. Why not be a veterinary specialist for unicorns? That joke was just begging for me to say it.

  • I really liked your video, very touching, very heart-felt...

    I think young gays need more people like you. Did you end up coming out at school? How did it go?

    A++ and all the best

    Nic

  • I am glad you realize how lucky you are. You seem very confident with yourself. That's good! I found the video helpful.  Wish you well on your journey and thanks for sharing.

  • Fine story. You were raised right and your excellent character is a tribute to your folks and your own intelligence and courage. You'll do well going forward and will command respect from most who know you. (There will be some who nurture prejudice in their psyche. Can't do much about them. They throw up a wall of hate and it engulfs them, like it's their internal chemistry to be that way.) Thanks for being out there for all your friends!

  • good to see that there are "normal" gays! so many people think that gays are automaticially like chris crocker! peace guys

  • I don't know how old you are, but you are super cute! ;) My coming out story was similar to yours...but mine was a little different...

  • i admire your bravery my friend. i cannot imagine how nervous you were when you come out to your parents. ignore those disgusting biggots who put you down because of who you are.

    and one final thing, i must say you are a very handsome lad indeed. any lad you wish to have as a bf must be a very lucky guy indeed

  • wow ur sexy i'd go out w/u :)

  • you say you are lucky. that is true.

    but more importantly, you are very brave. and thats something everyone admires :) very nice story

  • @kzwang i think this was the best coming out story that i ever had to hear

  • Dude your storyvis gr8,I'm 14 and I'm kinda the same as u, nobody would think I was gay, except for the 4 friends I've told so far, i play sport I do trainning and weights. I'm willing to do manuel labour and stuff to. People steriotype to much these days, gd to hear something I can relate 2, just can't wait till I can have a proper relationship with another guy, I need it. Great vid 5/5

  • Beautiful story Scott. Its really refreshing to hear a positive coming out story. It makes me feel easier about one day coming-out myself.

    Your family sounded really accepting which was lovely.

    I am sure you will inspire many others in your school to come to terms with accepting themselves too. Despite what any inseccure phobe will say.

  • dude kudos i dont know if i will ever comeout however i am glad that your parents are loving enough to accept you dont worry what people think

  • Good that you are coming out at a young age, I came out when i was 20

  • You have done the right thing! And now live your life Proud. And I dont mean wave your flag all day, I mean be who you are and dont let anyone or anything pull you down! One more thing when you think your in love your probably not, make sure that you protect your heart. Feel love but be prepared to see it end. If you invest your life and love to someone make sure they are all you expect in a human and dont ever take someone on that you think will change or that you think you can change.

  • i mean, you are dripping with sweetness

    and adorable as a puppy, yet pretty dam

    sexy too. who wouldnt love you no matter

    what? i dont even know you, and im in

    lust,,,,,er , uh,,,love.

  • Hey Scott, Congrats to you! for putting your story out there, for being so real and for letting people hear your story

    You're a truly beautiful person

  • God loves everyone so don't judge him

  • We will have to agree to disagree on that one.

  • @jadyqg12511 That is incredibly offensive, cute or not he doesn't want girls, he's gay :S

  • you're kinda cute ; )

  • it is all cool who cars what people think as long as you are happy

  • wish you all the best man ! you're so brave and also so cute !

  • Good story^^

    You are indeed very lucky to have such nice, accepting parents....take me for example: I'm 18 and I still haven't told my dad cuz he'd certainly freak out so I dont think he's ready to know about it......but yet I feel pretty lucky because I have two great sisters who love me for who I am :)

    I know there are people that'd faced much worst situations...

  • Go on ya good thing be the first to break the barrier!! :D

  • the hateing is very sad to hear. but thats good that you had a plan. that is good.!! BOOYAA!! FOR GAY MARRIGE!! Yes!! be the one to break it!!

  • brilliant video, i hope all goes reely well for u x

  • I will NEVER come out eccept online!!!

  • Then you will live a very unhappy life. Coming out = freedom.

  • Coming out== embarased

  • I wish I had a family like yours. Good for you though. I think this is awesome. You're so brave, and I really envy you.

  • Thanks for sharing it was very inspirational! You have such a great family. Cheers from Russia

  • dude, you need a friend, you have one here, besides that, your hot, need a bf? JK, I am here for ya babe.

  • Brilliant job. You're head is well screwed on. You've got a wonderful family (see the "interview" videos), probably in part responsible for the former observation. And, you live in a country that has started to recognize the importance of nurturing its gay citizens. Not everybody is so lucky. But you've shown everyone what the world COULD look like if we work at it.

  • Nice story. Folks don't realize that most of us are not stereotypes. Scott, glad you joined the party. Have fun.

  • well hello scott. ur very very brave to make a coming out story. and wow man ur lucky.

    wheni told my friends i was gay they abandonded meand my BF. eventhough myBF was one of my friends but ya westuck together. anyway um msg me if you wanna talk.

  • Very interesting story. Very similar to mine, although I have not posted it on the Coming Out Archives yet. I subscribed so keep in touch. Check out my vids.

  • You were very bold, even for expressing all things to your family...in Spain, Italy, Greece is not so simple...you're marked for all the life. Be patient with your school companions. God bless you! Dave

  • I'm sorry you feel so compelled to type a comment proclaiming your boredom.

  • Hi Scott,

    I found your channel through this video, so I didn't really know you when I first saw it. Watching it again now is really interesting, especially seeing the differences between how you describe the experience and what your family said in their interviews.

    What you said about horror stories is so true, although what really does it for me is when, in addition to all the hate from the world, people have to overcome self-hate due to their religion.

  • Good for u mate im no strotype either youve got balls thats all i can say

  • And the "marriage" that Jesus allegedly refered to is between a girl between the ages 8-12 and a male suitor of any age (as was customary in that time, and throughout history). The bible is a very poor place to get morals from.

  • You made absolutely no reference to my argument whatsoever. Fine job sir, fine job.

  • LMAO this is exactly what I meant in my recent comment on EX-Gay. You totally avoid the interjection alltogether.

  • lol wtf

    try responding to his comment

    and stop preaching

  • Try listening to my preaching and stop responding to his comment... :)

  • Who are you asimpleinstrument? And why would you comment about sinning? When just about everyone sin on a daily bases and he not sinning no more than me or you. In fact he probably by far more righteous and Christian than we will ever be. Going though pain and struggle will only make you just more closer to God.

  • @uraine7626 Who am I? A servant of Christ. I'm a pastor, a missionary, a chaplain (for two hospitals and the sheriff's department), I have a master's in theology, and am currently writing a book. Going through what kind of pain gets you closer to God? If it's the pain of suffering for the sake of Christ and the preaching of the Gospel, yes that will get you closer to God - but not suffering because you can't stop yourself from having sex outside of marriage.

  • @asimpleinstrument fornication is consider a sin from the words of Christ, but u seen like a good Christ so let me ask you this. Homosexuality is a sin in the bible that is debatale, because Christ didn't teach against homosexuality and the only person who was highly against it was the apostle Paul,

  • who had a lot of teaching that Jesus didn't agree with (I shouldn't have to go indetail because you said u a servant of Christ). And everyone who is true Christians know that Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed because of the disrespected and lack of hostipality that the villagers showed Lot and his quests, so there no evidence that God is against the homosexuality because that didn't even occurred in the story.

  • @asimpleinstrument. And the purpose of marriage according to the bible is because God seen man (Adam) as being lonely and he felt that loneliness wasn't good for man so he made a covenant for two people to be together which is marriage. So if homosexuality isn't a sin in the eyes of God, who is to blame for homosexuals not being able to get married?

  • @asimpleinstrument Who will help them bear their sin though fornication? because we all know that Jesus acknowledge that it better to wed then to burn. but they can't get married, so u fault is that? Are they the one to blame for that sin or is it someone else?

  • Ha I wish I had to the balls to post my coming out story via youtube.

  • Awesome, moving post. I'm glad that you've had nothing but positive responses from friends and family so far. Like you, my sister was the first to know and was also supportive. Don't worry too much about your schoolmates, though--I didn't think I knew any other gays in my catholic school back in Wisconsin; however, I did catch up with several later in life. Take care!

  • A real inspiration!

  • Just like to say well done Scott from New Zealand. Inspiration for other young lads. You've got a good sister there too.

  • scott pls marry me! and btw im so not the typical stereotype either! xD im not really into the flaming and gay pride and stuff... i used to do sports but i was getting lazy... LOL thats my nature... being lazy... anyways, yeh great coming out! xD i havent come out to my family yet, but i reckon they are getting suspicious of my sexuality lately im getting scared cus my family is religious and they are very homophobic! lol wish me luck! i really wanna marry u! xD

  • This story shows a lot of courage on your part. I too would like to add my full support and encouragement to you. Good for you!

  • you are VERY lucky hon!! my story is soo different from yours.

  • You definitely don't meet the typical gay stereotype.... me either, I mean, I am not into sports, but I am not a flamer. I don't like the whole flamer thing, not into it. I enjoyed your video and the other videos that you have posted. I am glad for you that you have had the acceptance that you have found.

  • samee :)

  • mmm ur hot.

  • I know God loves gay -- but does he love Canadian?

  • everybody loves Canadians!

  • i'm canadian, and gay too!

  • lol

  • You got a good family

  • your very cute and im very happy for you for coming out bri xx

  • You're getting a lot of love on this channel so you won't be surprised if I add my two cents worth. I found your video by accident and I was moved by your courage and honesty. Although you're a complete stranger to me, you make me less cynical about humanity. You have a positive effect on people and that's an awesome gift. 7025 views as of 8:20 am

  • i love you. lol

  • Congratulations, you are a positive person for other gay people. Be yourself, and be a positive, contributing citizen of life.

  • wowsa, he dont look gay....

    hilary clinton 4 president!
