  • your words are so wise. I can't believe you are as young as you are.

    I really wish that I had someone like you to tell me these things when I was young.

    Keep up the awesome work dude.

    Love from Tommy, Vancouver, BC, Canada

  • nice camera man!!!

  • I really hope it does get better! :\

  • @themusclebabes I hope too! & It will. (:

  • Thank you

  • Thank you for having the courage and integrity to record and post this.

  • "You're in your prime right now"? Agreed. =D

  • I've been around the military for years. I am not gay myself, but I've always found DADT ridiculous. I've run into a few people who share the opposite opinion as me for sure, but I really think it just boils down to ignorance. Watched your other video's when you told your mom and dad. Great videos and thank you for sharing! Thank you for all you do to protect our country and thank you for being you! Props bro!

  • Doesn't anyone see the irony of someone telling us it gets better when their not willing to show their face? Hmm....

  • @Marvinglz To each their own level of comfort zones. I don't blame him for wanting some privacy. We both know how cruel and invasive people can be and how much people exploit the anonymity of the Internet.

  • Comment removed

  • @Marvinglz he is hiding his identity because of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy he is talking about in the video. IT WAS FORBIDDEN to be openly gay in the miltary. He could have been discharged if he showed his face. He started showing it when it became legal for him to do it. So it actually got better for him. I don't see any irony.

  • Somehow I get the point of the military, cause a Soldier is a Soldier doesn´t matter if the person is gay/bi/lesbian and MALE or FEMALE there shouldn´t be a differance. But it´s quite a shame that Soldiers, doesn´t matter which sexualitiy, have to cover, nevertheless their fighting and risking their lives. that is just not fair

  • Great courage & inspiration. Thank you.

  • The repeal of DADT was a watershed moment. We are all human beings- that's it. I am so happy that those LGBT heroes serving in the military to protect America can be open and honest about who they are. Progress is being made- slowly but surely.

  • Ismaelillo hijo,

    Como tu dices muy sabiamente y cristaniamente, ya no soy virgen por ningún agujero.

    Cada cual es libre de creer en las hadas, los ovnis, el tarot, en Alá, los mil dioses del Induismo e incluso en un Dios que nadie sabe quién lo creo..

    Repecto a si seré porculizado eternamente en el infierno por un BigFoot, no te imaginas como tiemblo. Yo, alma cándida no creo en nada.

  • Love all the positive comments. But I'm gonna go shallow on this one. That body looks A-MAY-ZING!!! O_O

  • we love all our military. White, black , straight, gay, what ever, all of us appreciate your dedication, and service to our nation you,re a great guy, find anyone of us that would be happy to talk to you. The family of man.

  • My teacher brought to every ones eyes, that when you get hurt badly in the military (gun wound etc.) you could care less if the person helping you is gay or not just that you live

  • I just wanted to say that it is 3AM in the morning and I just found out about ur vids a few hours ago and I have been watching them all non-stop and subscribed (of course) and well ur just an amazing person and truly inspirational :D Of course, I am gay too and thanks to my friends, family and people like you, I could not feel more proud to be who I am :)

  • "Soldiers who are not afraid of guns, bombs, capture, torture, or death say they are afraid of homosexuals. Clearly we should not be used as soldiers; we should be used as weapons."

    Funny. Witty. And yet so sad. True.

  • I love you.

  • me too id like to have your twitter,,!

  • I have a gay sister and actually quite a few gay friends (guys) but im straight i love my gf with all my heart there is NOTHING wrong with being gay nothing! Gay guys are girls best friends usually for a reason! haha they listen and there nice as shit. This dude its fucking awesome and i would totally listen to his bf problems and try to give him advice the best a straight guy can haha, BUT there is nothing wrong with being gay and the fact people hate is sad cause most gays are like this guy :P

  • @pivotchocolate we need more people like you in the world

  • @AirBahg haha the funny part is im only 16 :P im just a really nice person and care for everyone :) thanks tho i wish there was more people with my thought process to

  • @pivotchocolate that's a generalization. Gay guys are just as much of men as straight ones. I hate it when people assume that gay means pansy. I think that the feminization of gay men can kind of suck for some men.

  • @octopuslover225 you got that right...you would think we would be more comfortable with masculinity that heteros....we are guys and we like guys, who does putting those together mean we don't like being guys?

  • You are so genuine and sexy ;) Idk ur Twitter !

  • watch my friend eat an orange

    /watch?v=QoifHT8JWnk&feature=f­eedu

  • @IntoxicatedDrunk Government, no matter what politic it is, it will always be corrupted. America's politic is almost Socialist though. When it is full that will change the military alot.

  • @DaMasterSarge i agree with you... local, state, and federal... just all corrupt... if its not money in their pockets its a discarded pawn to get money into their pockets... The government sucks off and strives off its citizens.

  • @187MIAMIBOY Well you're full of yourself aren't you? What makes you think he would even want to grab your ass? Do you want to grab the ass of every girl you see? No, you don't. You have taste. I'm sure he does too and it likely wouldn't involve an intolerant ass like you.

    Kudos to you and everything you're doing for the future of the military! I have many gay friends and I support them fully <3

  • @187MIAMIBOY yes when were helping france hold germans back in the TRENCHES with our newly developed "machine guns" lol. your form of thinking is as outdated as your combat strategy.

  • @ibgood4job it's called "SARCASM"

  • Im straight and I have no problem with you.Not only cause you just seem like a nice guy,but cause you fight for my life everyday and put yours on the line.You give me the right to speak,my right to do whatever I want the least we can do is let you love who you want.

  • im not gonna like or sub, but i would like to say that people can be however they are! no-one can take that from that, btw how many people have watched lesbian stuf on the internet? if the ladies can do why not the males, ill never understand what a gay guy is thinking but ill act the same with him than my best friend.

    its his fucking live not mine!

  • I'm not really old like 30-120 I'm still in middle school but I really appreciate what this man is saying cuz gays r as much as ppl as straights r. I know every1s heard of the golden rule: treat others the way u wish to be treated, well follow it and don't criticize who ppl love cuz u don't want ppl criticizing who u love. I have gay/lesbian friends and family but u still love them even though I'm not gay/lesbian.

  • Does sexual preference/orientation really matter if you want to serve your country? I mean, if someone really loves their country enough to serve for their country, the should be denied the right to serve just because they have a boyfriend? The US could use the man power.

  • @overTVS Im straight. and i have respect for gays. People who say stuff like you suck dicks and stuff like that are just 12 year olds who think there tough by talking shit over the internet. I bet if you ever saw this guy in person, you wouldnt say anything at all. Pussy

  • I am so proud of the men and women that serve this country. And I am so proud of the gay men and women that do so much to protect us. And I pray for you everyday and love you so much. And thank you for everything you do for us and I hope you all every happiness.

  • I have nothing against gay people, but please don't be such a flaming homo like this one kid at my school, be cool like this guy and I won't care.

  • I'm 16 and gay. I plan to tell my mom when I'm 18 and in college. thanks for the support!!

  • It's time we end bullying today... "No Bullying" "No HATE"....Please check out my Jamey Rodemeyer Tribute Song.. Believe "Don't Cry"

  • "Stuff [name-brand products, things] like that never makes me happy… and it'll never make you happy."

    I'm smart, but you are far wiser than I ever was at your age; that's a profound compliment to you. Thanks.

    What you've done here is pushing me those last few inches to come out to my parents, close friends, everyone. And I know you appreciate how hard that last little bit can be. :-)

    Thanks again.

    (Also very happy for you people at work were OK with it when they found out. :-) )

  • Damn. If i had known the laws 4 years ago when i was trying to get out of the Airforce i could have just told them i was gay instead of pretending to be mentally unstable. I respect our soldiers and what they do for us but it just wasn't right for me in any way shape or form.

  • since everyone's saying their own orientation, I'm Gay and I like this Guy. Do i like him because I'm gay? Maybe..do i like him just cuz he's gay? No.

  • great video

  • =) cute...

  • Why no show nice face D:

  • @84almond If I'm thinking of the right timeline, the video was made before DADT was abolished (yay!) so until then, soldiers weren't allowed to show thier faces, otherwise they'd be 'outting' themselves and they'd have to taken out of the military...hope that makes sense...but I'm glad that DADT has been taken out; oh and just for the hell of it...I'm a heterosxual female who was born and raised a Catholic and I'm all for gay rights and gay marraige! :) So awesome to type that!

  • this guy is really cute if you look at his other videos...

    thank you for all that you do for us

    im in high school and this video helped me tell my parents <3

    your are amazing...thank you so much!

    sincerely,

    14 year old gay boy from Ohio <3

  • you're awesome dude.

  • 1:11 "Everybody's (always) looking forward to the next step in life"

    It ends with "to the weekend", dude. Totally missed the lyrics =D

  • Im happy that you can now serve without hiding who you are. I AM PLEASE SO FAR WITH OUR GENERATION!

  • Its amazing to see DADT repealed and its a credit to the US that this has happened. Now when LGBT soldiers are committed to active service, they will be fighting for the same rights and freedoms as their straight counterparts. If anything degrades an active unit's capability then surely its the knowledge that you are considdered less of a person because of who you love, thankfully this is no longer the case and this guy is to be commended along with all other active service men and women.

  • I celebrated the hell out of the repeal of DADT on the 20th!!! The military made the first step on equal opportunity for ALL now the rest of this country needs to catch up! HAH!

  • Without using complicated, academic terms, this guy speaks well for ALL humanity <3

    Every time I hear his sincere, honest words I fall a bit in love with his Goodness

  • Anyone that chooses to join the military to protect the USA is OK with me. I DON'T care what color you skin is, I DON'T care what religion's god you may choose to worship and I COULD CARE LESS who you welcome to your bed. Do your job, do it well and BE SAFE doing it, we want you ALL back here ASAP!!!

    HATE the war and those that start it but never EVER hate the warrior!

  • @46619TAB Well said...

  • @irock63 Thank you. Just a thought from a 57 year old gay man that lost my older brother/best friend/ hero to the VietNam war. This shit with war has to end.

  • @46619TAB This is the best comment i have ever seen. Well said !

  • @xxdarkheartsxx My older brother who was my best friend served as a chopper medic during VietNam came home two times, the first time on leave, the second time in a coffin. No matter how I or others feel about the current wars, the young people sent by old men to wage them didn't start them. It makes me VERY ANGRY when I see the warriors disrespected rather than the old men! WBC comes immediately to mind because they hate people like me too but then they hate everyone.

  • @390bullitt1968 The last HONEST, hate to use that word, war was World War Two, those following were money makers. The "Gulf of Tonkin" was a sham as was the "Dommino Effect". Years ago I read reports that Johnson was invested in a company making war machines and had JFK killed because he wanted no part of VietNam (we'll never know). 911 WAS an inside job carried out by Bush/Chaney/Haliburton for PROFIT.

    (based on your screen name?, my best friend's wife has a 2008 Mustang Bullitt)

  • @AreYouSuprised you inspire me! i've been thinking about joining the military for a while now, and would probably not have been as comfterable with the idea until now when DADT is repealed. My dad is in the air force and always wanted me to join, but i was always afraid to. i'm just through with depending on my parents for everything in life and i want to be independent for once. I have no idea how to enlist or anything like that though? help!

  • People are idiots, if people are gay that's okay. They need to back it up and see that over 400 different animals and things of that nature NATURALLY are homosexual. People really need to get there science straight and stop saying that "its not natural" because it is. ST8 against H8!

  • Homosexuality exists in nearly 450 species. Homophobia, however, exists in one . Now tell me what's unnatural.

  • @FredNotJorge go somewhere saying that

  • @FredNotJorge WELL said, BRAVO!!!

  • @FredNotJorge Actually, now homosexuality has been observed in over 1500 species of animal =D

  • @390bullitt1968 You looking at the REAL bible, the one before the King James re-write?

  • @ImBatty2 go play with your tits

  • this guy is so nice, the fact that anybody would dislike him for his sexuality is disturbing. I strongly support gay marriage and hope everyone will become more tolerant of peoples differences. People are people.

  • God bless you for being in the military first off, and God bless you for being the person you are. P.S. to the "christians", in my bible it says God loves everyone. P.S.S yeah i'm a gay christian, God made me exactly as he wanted me to be.

  • You know what? I think that you are one of the nicest guys on the internet!

  • Who would want to kick this great soldier out of the military?!

  • Lol only reason gay is bad in the bible is 'cause beats god's system like Tosh.o said XD

  • thank you. 

  • I'm a straight male and I would love to be this guy's close friend.

  • Sir, you are Amazing! First Thank You for your Service and securing my freedoms. Second, Your videos will always be here for others to see and be inspired by!!!

  • I like this guy. He's cool. 

  • an iphone would not make me happy, but an android would haha ABH

  • This is one cool guy, i'm in the navy and I respect this guy for living his own life and not worrying about what other people think. Sounds like his family are more supportive than some though.

  • I remember being a kid living in base housing when the Don't Ask / Tell policy began and all the uproar and negativity about having gays in the military at all. The buzz eventually died out and people went about their business. It will be tough for a while now, but eventually people will get over it and go about their daily lives. I think in the 90's, it was the only option, but now I'd like to think we are more open minded. Keep fighting for freedom on your home turf!

  • The more i think about it, the more i am for gay rights.

    This guy seems super nice. I like him. And it's ok that he's gay.

  • @beautifullybroken012 It's ok that's he is gay? NO, it's awesome that he is gay.

    It seem to me that gay people are under appreciated these days.

    All the gay people that I know are awesome.

  • @trinketbox1 well, discrimination is sure used based on sexuality, so why shouldn't gays get protection from idiot laws that oppress them?

  • Why do people like to judge us gay people by our sexuality? I think most of us are just like ordinary men, who are searching for a lifelong partner, but not only for sex. I was born in a conservative country so I can’t talk about my situation with anyone even my family. I know I have to keep this secret til my death and I’d be very probably alone forever. But I won’t give up. I’m still waiting for my true love and I hope one day I would come across my little prince, though it's a glimmer of hope

  • im atheist but i like the video :D

  • Yeah, okay, gay empowerment, acceptance is important and all that, but seriously? You have a beautiful chest.

  • I dont mind gays just as lobg as they arent flamboyant

  • @legomark300 Flamboyant heterosexuals exist too.

  • god dont made people the way they are people made other people and those people get the way they want to be

  • you speak the TRUTH

  • @TheLocalNut You're a jerk. A stereotypical, annoying jerk. Take your bs else where please!

  • To whoever is the uploader of this Video :

    Sir, you have my respect and I thank you for your service, Gay or Straight it don't matter, you men and women do so much for me to be able to live my life and I thank you for it. Regardless of your politics, lib , rep, conserv, demo, that shit don't matter..... The respect for all of you guys is tremendous

    /Salute

  • i am so happy about this change, and the message in this young man's videos, and it makes me so proud of where we are at in history.

  • homosexuality is found in over 450 species. what seems unnatural about that?

  • Lol the way you speak in the beginning

  • Well my xbox makes me happy!

  • @KirbyHanchar men don't turn gay because there are less women in the military dude... it's basically like an instinct. They don't just turn gay overtime because of less women.

  • @KirbyHanchar Yeahh but most of them were gay before... you usually know already by the age you join the army...

  • @KirbyHanchar No he's gay because he does not like pussy. Get it right.

  • k, what's with the life story.....

  • Here is Alan Watts talking about the similar topic you were at the beginning of the video:

    watch?v=ERbvKrH-GC4

  • What are your plans now since your video has gone viral? Im sure people are banging on your door to get your attention.

  • @ItsMeGaryG there are more gay giraffes than gay humans

  • @ItsMeGaryG Didn't you hear about that zoo in New York (or wherever it was) whose only two male penguins were gay? And as 64Maymay said, there are in fact more gay giraffes than gay humans.

  • @ItsMeGaryG Wikipedia has a list of animals that display homosexual tendencies, just google it, or if you don't trust wikipedia, read "Evolution's Rainbow" for more credibility (written by professor of biology at Stanford) and for a better theory as to why homosexuality is a part of nature. Thank you for being open to evidence.

  • There is no god and you can't be 'given' free will. Fucken idiots.

  • you might love iPhone 4 but it does never love you back..

    anyway, you get the point..

  • HOMOsexualty is found in OVER 450 species..HOMOphobia is found in only one...Which one seems Unnatural now.....

  • Comment removed

  • @richardmcnick you just made my day :) thank you

  • @therealWTFproduction My female dog humps only other female dogs, yet when male dogs see her they still hump her, I don't see not homophobia there ....
