Tuna Talk: National Coming Out Day Tips

[KitKat3814]

@OhhhhCanada when I heard that I was like ah crap that's me XD

[jeremyethan17]

I live in a town with like 500 horses and like 10,000 people, horses and people all republicans and I'm making it! :]

[OhhhhCanada]

"unless you live in like a really rural area thats like you and 50 horses and like 5 churches and all republicans then maybe you're screwed" LMAO <3 LOVE IT

[SuperChris2727]

good video lol i like the silly music lol

[WeirdAl68]

"...but its one thing to be crazy." haha

[juliaisthaskirt]

(continuing again)

I'm just thinking that the information isn't really out there and that we should do something about that instead of stop sleeping around with people :P

Kramar (=Hugs in Swedish) Julia

[juliaisthaskirt]

(Continuing) Great campaign ! IF they would not have talked only about using condoms on a GAY cruse (mentioned the gay cruse because I assume that there was allot of lesbians that was gonna have sex on the cruse. Not saying they shouldn't talk about it on straight cruses too but it was VERY high likely that the oral sex was gonna happen witch happens on straight cruses too but... Yeh, you get my point :P)

[juliaisthaskirt]

About the ''don't go out and have sex with everyone'' part. It's a little fucked up that I, as a lesbian, did not know, AT ALL, about the ''oral condoms'' (I'm Swedish, don't judge me on my grammar or spelling :P) until this past weekend when one of my friends got very upset over a campaign talking about protected sex.

i agree dont get a tattoo with your gf's name on it.. i didnt do that but i did get a matching tattoo.. it was all her idea, i wanted the tattoo first and she copied me. rt after that i wanted to break up. 3 months later we did. and now i have to see it everyday! DONT DO IT!

[KellyAthf]

Tegan and Sara!

One of the best underground Lesbian bands <3

I love your videos AJ,

:D !

[mnbutch]

I agree, Tegan and Sara rock. I don't think they're all that underground though. They're just from Canada. Yay Canada.

[farxfetchedx101]

october 11th is my birthday but i'll probably cop out again

[nonebutourselves]

Amen to not having to listen to Ani!  My girlfriend hates her but has pretty much every CD she ever made because when she was coming out in a small town, she thought she had to cut her hair and listen to Ani DiFranco to be gay. Such a waste of money...that chick has made a lot of music in her day!

[MrJay2187]

I love the interview with Jill...You are hilarious

[jeremyethan17]

I'm screwed.

[Rural towns suck.]

[ipod191]

It helped me a lot, Now I know what not to do:D

[stardowl]

Getting a tattoo of your partner's name is like the kiss of death...

[BlairEdmondss]

when my mom was 20 her fiancee got her name tattooed on his shoulder.. after that they broke up.. he still has it on his shoulder 25 years later. :P

[CiscoNast]

I have a question for you: Why do you think nature favors heterosexuality? Is that because nature is a biggot?

[Jeepers4Creepers2]

My ex wanted to get a tat with my name on her behind...I BEGGED her not to, but she did it anyway...6 years later she has had to explain that name to three different girlfriends. Save yourself the later humiliation and skip it!!!

[daniGurl89tf]

ha Ha. that's horrible.

[lxdelira]

Republicans are gay too

[ninoninab2]

When I came out to my dad at the age of 15 he thought he was being supportive and the next day gave me permission to cut my hair and I no longer had to wear makeup I then informed him that I loved my long hair and makeup, it was who I was, I love him so much for that. About the tattoo thing I got my girlfriends name 3months into the relationship 15yrs later it was a good thing.

[disappearingact00]

I agree with the tattoo thing my girlfriends ex got her full name tattooed on the side of her calf. so now theres some other woman out there somewhere with my girlfriends name on her leg

[lindseyreviews]

oh AJ, i love you so much.

[JessTy2008]

Today I told my best friend and she was so amazing about it, I just want just shout it! =)

[simplayaj]

maybe this year I'll come out to myself :) or maybe I'll stay straight

[renmariana23]

great video... don't sleep with everybody!!! lol

[bridget87]

"fifteen horses, 5 churches and republicans"

hahaha super funny

[kristykay72]

I llluuuurrrvvveeee the Cliks :-)

Great video AJ.

[xMusicToMex]

I saw a butch in birmingham recently with 'Sarah' tattooed on her arm and I thought it was really sweet. I got the feeling that it was before civil partnerships or marriage came in though, so that makes it ok? Sort of? :)

[thatweirdchick69]

Another lesbian band I love are the Butchies, they're ADORABLE, I think the drummer looks a bit like you in the video for "send me you" :P check it out <3 she's crazy XD

[GuestBleachGirl]

Great video AJ !!!! I LOVE YOU :P

[rayriddleroc]

I am mtf and I was wondering if you knew of any good trans artist.

[QCAN2004]

Lucas Silveira from the Cliks, and Rae Spoon are both ftm

[ERINYE99]

I love it: "Now it's one thing to love your partner and one thing to be crazy." lol.

[OneDay93]

Today is the 1 year anniversary of when I came out.

:-)

Just wanted to say thank you for all the videos on here, and on the Beaver Bunch. You gave me so much courage!

Have a great day, AJ!

[LexScriptaVeritas]

Memorizing and knowing every song by the Indigo Girls and k.d. lang is a lesbian duty!

[900angryangel]

Yay! I've missed Tunatalk.

Really great video!! So informative and some great links. Good luck to everyone coming out!

[oranggepick]

cant wait for the next one :D

xoxo

[H3ADY1313]

great ADVICE! AND woot woot BOUT TIME YOU MADE A VID HERE! LOLDont' EVER get a partners name tatooed on you! even if you have been together 15 years that Jinks you and will make you break up ITS NOT WORTH A TAT! not until your both 90 and have been together for 45-50 yrs... then I guess its ok but who wants to be 90 in a tat chair? I wanna be on my porch yelling at nieborhood kids to GET OFF MY DAMN LAWN!!!! Im just sayin...

[skipperdoofus]

how cute is the drummer of the cliks?!

[JordmanKNOWS]

a rainbow colored mullet?? yuck hahaha.

[lizzythelezzy]

thanks so munch for mentioning my book AJ! hehe glad you liked the chick with the cigar

[nguerra94]

Thanks, AJ! Awesome music!

[boogerfaceXD]

5:13

lmao!

i am soooo screwed!

[reliefnextome]

Just had to say that I absolutely LOVE the cliks!! Great choice AJ..I saw them at Toronto Pride this year and they were fantastic.

Also--I'm a femme and I ended up cutting my hair off after coming out to feel more secure in my sexuality (much to the disappointment of my butch girlfriend) and I really regret it thinking back. I've now realized I can be myself and still be gay. Luckily my girlfriend stuck with me through my temporary insanity and I'm back to rocking the long hair

[leztiger]

AJ i love you your my idol

[EepiczombieE]

Wow.

I am totally using this day as a stepping stone to come out.

It will definitely make the process less painful(:

Thank God for National Coming Out Day!!

&AJ.

[KaylasNotGrey]

I came out to my parents in May. I feel like my parents are way closer to me and more understanding than my friends... is that weird or am I lucky? None of my friends know yet but I'm pretty sure after October 11th that's going to change... depending how I feel at the time :P

[ooxxJJxxoo]

AJ! You're great, but when you said 'I can guarantee you there's at least 1 other gay person within 10 miles of where you live' then said 'unless you live in a really rural area surrounded by horses and 5 churches' I was like 'Aw man, I KNEW there was no hope for me!' haha I live on a farm in the UK & my nearest village is about 10mins drive & pointless cause I'm convinced that it's occupied by 99% of England's Grannies! Nevermind, thank god for the internet! :D Thanks for another great video!

J

[DearScout49]

I've never heard anyone have that extra "r" in,"drawing" before. It's interesting =).

Gracias muy mucho for bringing up the hair deal. I, myself, was all, "Hm. Gays have awesome short hair. I'm Gay. I should chop my hair off".

I decided against it, but your video was a reassurance that i made the right choice =P.

[jenthehell]

i love how ruth and lizzy both signed the book for you. haha

i'm excited that the national coming out day is so close to my birthday. even though i'm straight... :o) now get out of that hot closet! haha

[LLEBNAX]

ooo some of my fav queer bands are not that well known.. well .. besides tegan and sara.. who are going to be huge by the end of the year, i feel. anyways.. hunter valentine (originally from toronto.. but they left here for new york :(..) ,Dance yourself to death (also from toronto.. reallllly nice peeps).. holly miranda, goes without saying.. she is incredible. uh huh her is kinda well known i think now.. hard to say... i guess kaki king is pretty well known now too...

[katlitter]

can you guess the product?

Ingredients: dried potatoes, vegetable oil (contains one or more of the following: cotton seed oil, corn oil, soybean oil, and/or sunflower oil), rice flour, wheat starch, maltodextrin, salt and dextrose.

contains wheat ingredients.

[AskAJanything]

i miss you too!

[lloydbaltazar]

I don't get why you have to be against people who like to show off their rainbow pride through stickers or tattoos. Those symbols are what defines our community--whether its just one sticker or a ton of them. Visibility is everything in the gay community.

You're a butch lesbian so you obviously don't want/care for the glitter and glamour side of Gay pride. That's OK. Everyone is different & you can show of your equality symbol just as others can show off their rainbow pride love as well.

[katlitter]

lloydbaltazar - I dont think that she ever said she was against "people" that have or like to show off their pride tattoos. Furthermore, I dont think that the pride flag soley defines our community. There are so many other ways to have pride about who you are and what you are a part of without having to tattoo a rainbow on your body. So thank you for being Captain Crusader for the pride flag, someones got to do it. :)

[lunarmicrobe]

Mara Levi <3 <3

heard of her?  She's great!

[lovemusic8]

i agree with the tattoo thing... one of my ex gf's had another ex's lips on her back ...that shit doesnt come off...just a constant reminder of fucked-up-ness

[jjbeejjuice]

i love the interactive vid hahahahaha!!

[superdupersami16]

i got a rainbow candle :)
