I came out to my best friend when I was 17 & then at 18 to the rest of my friends & then I finally told my parents at 20. I never thought I would come out to them but I did. I'm glad I did because I can be myself now. Well I was myself before BUT now I don't have to hide that I like guys. I'm still the same though.
The only thing that kinda sucks is that no matter how much my dad says hes okay with it I know hes not & its uncomfortable with it but at least he tries I guess.
Woooow I've only seen two of your videos, the first one when you said ''I compromise to tell at least two people, that's HUGE!'' and I thought that was actually too easy, and now you're completely out the closet! Congrats man.
When you're ready is the key. I came out after I retired from the U.S. Navy (DADT had not yet been rescinded). It is nice not having part of my life locked away all the time. Is it all that I am? Of course not. But it is a part of my nature, and not having part of myself caged really is very freeing. Have a good group of true friends who will support you emotionally if some people who you thought were friends (or family) turn out not to be. Some people might surprise you though.
Well If I may just say that I was never expecting to come out but I am def glad I was outed. At first some people weren't to keen on it but hey its my life. Yes I say outed because it was not intentional but I will never regret it so much weight off your shoulders and you see who truly cares about you
I'm a gay 15 year old and I've come out to my best friend (a girl) and a boy who's friends with both of us knows that i'm gay because of what we've done together. He's come out of the closet fully but i'm not sure if i should do the same thing. My family and friends would be fine about it but i don't want people to guess about me and this boy. I'm not sure what to do and i've talked to him about it but it's awkward and complicated. And how many people do you have to tell to have came out?
I can't accept myself, because: 1. My family is very religious, and I've always been taught homosexuality is a one way ticket to hell, which terrifies me. 2, In 2005 my mum found out my dad was/is gay when they were divorcing, and I've never had a good relationship with him. So that further instilled my mums hate for gay ppl, and because of the bad relationship I had from an abusive father it makes me feel sick that I'm even anything like him. I don't think things will ever get better for me.
@roadtou hey man I came from a religion that does not accept gay people and that being gay is the worst thing in the world. I'm here to tell you it aint. Message me if you want more info but your not going to go to hell because your gay. Second, I have tried the whole I can change path before and it doesn't work. I am sorry about your father being abusive but just remember that you are who you are and you are not your father. I am in the middle of coming out and I feel so much better.
i agree with you to a point, im out at college and even some of my cousins know but my brother has told me many times that if i was gay then i was dead to him, he also thinks that all gays should be dead...he has no clue and idk if i should tell him b/c we get along great and i dont want to ruin our friendship yah know? idk any thoughts?
I remember watching Jacob's first video, and i was terrified of coming out, i thought it would be an impossible life to live. But now, It's so much easier for me, time is the best healer for alot of fear, it gives you space to come to terms with yourself. Now it's on Facebook that i like guys, it took me about 20 minutes to save the changes i made on my profile, just for one click. If anyone tells you that you're lower than them, smile, and watch Karma break the finger that they point with
Hi you are so right! Unfortunately, I am one of those people that did what at the time I thought was the right thing to do. I got married and had 2 children. I just came out a week ago this Friday to my wife and it's not been good! I've been living this lie for so long and lying to myself, and hating myself all these years! It’s taken me 25 years to figure it out! I also told my parents, it's been the most difficult thing I have had to do in my entire life! But thank you for the video! It helps.
I live everyday with a giant knot in my stomach, denying who I am. It's not like anyone would even really care.. I live my life with a mask. Im incapable of opening up to anyone. I dont know how to fix it. I dont know what to do.
I'm just too scared to tell my parents. My whole life I've lived up to be some perfect and moral student and I know if I tell them this one secret that I'm gay, it's all down the drain. I wish, pray, and hope one day they can accept it, but I know it won't. And there happiness means more to me than my selfish happiness..
@josemannydiaz I felt the same way but it isn't that bad. And it's your life, it is unrealistic and selfish of your parents to try and force you to be something you aren't. Wait until you are ready and independent but in most cases your parents will come around, but even if they don't you will have made a huge step in your life that will help make your life great.
@josemannydiaz Hi! I envy you. As being a gay in Japan it's much more difficult for me to come out. But I believe that the more people come out in the world the easier for the others follow the same way. Thank you for your courageous action.
@josemannydiaz u need to think about coming out i have a friend who told mr he was gay i had a hard coming out being razed by a biker as a stephdad my mom was cool w it he wasent he beat me and all that im not ur typical gay been at martial arts since a young age so thebeatings wherent so bad so my friend didnt tell his parents and so on eventually comitted suicide you need 2 think about your own happyness before its 2 late
If you are in the US and you fear for your safety about coming out, talk to a teacher, a counselor, a friend, someone you trust first and let them know your plans so you have a support system. Look up a local LGBT Center or charity that works with LGBT teens and young adults, if you need help finding one, I have worked at one in the past and can help you find information. Most LGBT organization can help if you get kicked out. You have a community, look for it, and embrace it. Be strong!
Just to put it out there, I don't think Jacob means to come out if you think your life is in danger. Obviously, like me, he is from North America and we can a lot of freedom here to be out and live a proud life. That being said, even to some of you in the US, if you do fear you'll be hurt or seriously victimized for coming out, don't. Wait it out. It gets better once you are older even if you have to stay in the closest. We'll support you online if you need an outlet until then.
@lilfelber Exactly. I want people to wait until they are ready but the people who this is directed at are young adults who are independent from their families and still avoid coming out. This video was trying to give courage to those who aren't living life to its full potential because of their fear. I understand waiting. I waited til I was 20. But waiting until your late 20s is denying yourself so many opportunities and experiences. I made this video to try and encourage, not endanger.
I think what's most important is that you come out to yourself first. If you can attach the word "gay" to yourself and admit that it is part of your identity, that is coming out. The specifics of telling the people in your life vary from person to person, and you have to take into account your own situation.
I agree but some effects of coming out sometimes backfire like, kicked out, treated different, lose friends etc but i also agree and believe tha it changes ur way of life from now on wen coming out some like and some dnt but im bi, i wasnt affraid of comin out cause at tha end of tha day its my life, my choices and change my life. You are who you are and dnt change for anyone no matter wah. Great video hope u keep continueing not long before i make my own vids and dnt change for no one.
Its cool to watch your videos. The way you come across and explain yourself is very genuine.17 years ago a lot of what you say was going through my mind, I came out at the age of 25 like I planed to : ) and after I did I found out I wasted so much time being hung up and unsure.
Alright, so i came out last october unwillingly. My family kinda went through my facebook and found messages between me and this guy. It was a disaster. My parents think im depressed and that i made the whole thing up for attention so they are sending me to therapy to "cure" me. But overall, i do have to say that it has gotten less tense around the house and everybody (except family) has been really excepting and i have lost and made friends, but im happy i am out now. Great Vid by the way:)
Thank you. :) I'm working on coming out and getting the courage to come out to my parents. You inspired me. My best friend (who is also gay) just got married to a girl in August and I could never do that. I am not sure how he is going to do it, but he's making it work. I totally agree that marrying a woman, as a gay man, is not fair to the bride or the groom. Thanks again! I'm subscribed so I look forward to more of your thoughts. :)
Sup,I get wat ur tryna get across(or at least i hope so otherwise this post makes me look really dumd)We live in 2 very different worlds.Im guessin that the worst thing u would go through is being bullied,ostracised,victimised 4m ur community or being disowned 4m their families which is horrible but in my world people get sent to jail and to some extremes get killed for being gay.i think people dont fear the stigma here,i feel they fear for their lives.But hey, Im 20 what do i know
Was the most difficult thing i did in my life and you're right it feels great but right now I don't feel that great cuz i don´t have anybody to my side to share this you know. anyway I guess time will help me
hahaha I told my family halloween night... jacked up huh! But your right when you say that it feels good do to it! Although I told them when i was 17 and I'm 18 now, and living a great life!
......wish I had your life. It's hard enough to have learn to accept myself, but then having to deal with the fact that people might not always be accepting of it. Sometimes it's hard putting on a brave face everyday and smiling, and at the same time convincing myself that no matter what, things will turn okay, even in the worst of times. It's hard being the gleam of hope for other people and never having someone be that gleam of hope for you. Sometimes I wish I lived in a place with no hatred..
good video but your wrong i lose my friend and family and my church and my christian brother this hard i have gayfeeling but i am christian and i hate say this I dont what people to hate me but bible say this wrong I check it out you cant change god word just fit your life sorry if offend any one
@rlm1942 I spoke with pastors with all differing opinions on the verses in the Bible that seem to mention homosexuality. Spoke with ancient Greek and ancient Latin professors who both say that the Bible is mistranslated to a certain degree and the context for the message isn't being considered appropriately. I am not trying to change people's beliefs. I am trying to get them to explore them and make sure that they aren't blindly accepting things without knowing the truth. You CAN be gay.
@rlm1942 My friend, shake those chains. Your very torment shows that you will accept other peoples beliefs' My friend, take a second look at Jesus's message. Not once did he require anybodys permission to be the holey soul that you are.
@rlm1942 Hey man, I grew up the son of a very christian southern baptist mother and a military father, so I know it seems like that's a huge hurtle, and it is, but not an insurmountable one. I agree with @Jacobyoutubification in that the Bible actually doesn't condemn homosexuality, the only direct place that man-on-man sex is mentioned is the old testament, about 5 verses after it says don't eat shelfish (so no shrimp cocktail). That was a cultural rule of the time not religious doctrine.
@rlm1942 As a matter of fact the Bible actually condemn's heterosexual sex in some form or another over 100 times, and the church is ok with that. Anyway, Jesus changed the ways those old laws were by saying "Love the Lord your God with all your heart mind and soul, and the second commandment is like it, love your Neighbor as yourself". If you ever get called out be a Christian for being gay, just ask them how they are loving their neighbors by being hateful. I promise it gets better...be strong
and its so much easiler getting a boy friend. and believe me its so much easier doing your straight friends. So many of them never had a good blow job and surprising so many come back so long as its just between us and we,re on different ends of his cock.
Be safe though, guys. Know you're circumstances. Coming out is right for certain people at a certain time. If you fear your parents might actually do something drastic, please, be safe. Some parents have done awful things to their children. Coming out isn't worth abuse or being put on the street if you can just wait until you're older. And don't worry, people are working on changing the way the world views gays. Just know when it's your time. Never force it.
and whats your advice to someone who lives in the middle east or other parts of the world where there is little to no acceptance or tolerance in these matters?
Wow dude you like *winged-it*, no pauses, just you looking cute as ever.. #nextryanseacrest (sorry if you don like him) - you could be a motivational speaker haha :D
It's safer in the closet. We got cookies in here :D. But seriously though, its not as simple as you know 'hey I'm gay.' Until we reach to a point where you don't have to come out as gay (i.e its regarded as normal) coming out wont solve anything. It gets easier in some cases. It doesn't stop the bullying etc but it bothers you less. Coming out is about someones maturity and their ability to stand on their own 2 feet. I may seem pessimistic but reality often sux. The world be hating!
@SkyKingEX it is hard but people often convince themselves that it is harder than need be. my family didn't take it well and it did require a lot of independence but it ended up working out. and i think it gets positive in every case. i have never met anyone who regrets coming out. people may regret timing or the way they came out but you will never regret living a life that is true to yourself
@jacobyoutubification Coming out is not the answer for everyone. Im with you, in that coming out is a noble, lofty, goal, but it's a personal decision. sadly it's a fact, it doesnt get positive in every case. no pressure, end of story.
@SkyKingEX the only way we'll ever reach a point where coming out isn't as big of a deal is by coming out. only by exposing your friends family members to it and showing them it's ok will it be possible for it to be more accepted. the more people are out, the more "normal" it is. I put normal in quotations because gays are a part of the minority, and always will be. there are more straight people in the world, so we'll always have to come out in some way.
While I do agree with the sentiment, in some cases it is highly difficult and sometimes unwise to come out of the closet. For me, I came out by accident when I was 17. My parents found out first, and after that there was no point hiding anymore, so I let my friends know. It was tough but worth it. All my family and friends back home were fantastic, and I love them to bits. Sadly I'm on a year abroad in China now, forced back in the closet due to the views of a few of the guys on my rugby team.
I wish you could speak to younger guys than 20yr old because its the teenagers that are suffering ... as you know.. and the the higher H.I.V. cases are now within the teenage community because A. They don't think they are positive because modern medical practitioners do NOT test for Hiv unless teen sais they have had unsafe sex.. or. B. Teens don't admit to being gay or that they have had sex with same sex partner. I enjoy your videos I would like you to talk more to other young people about
i can see where your coming from...but doing thats, easier said than done...Ive told my mum that Im gay, and shes sweet with it...but just the other day my aunty who i havent seen in years asks me, have i gotta girlfriend, and i say no aunty.........
i wanted to say "Im gay" but i froze, even to my friends i thought coming out would be easy. but ive told them "oh no im still single with no kids yet.
Im Gay...that moment right after saying those words, is what Im afraid of...its silly I kno
Great point about being proactive and taking control of your coming out. A lot of guys, especially in high school, make things worse for themselves by kind of nibbling at being gay without actually coming out. Then they get outed and everyone gives them a hard time, whereas if they had come out on their own, choosing who to start with and building some support, they would have gotten props for having the courage to be themselves.
This is right around where I'm at. I'm 19, attending college, and I'm out to a few members of my extended family. I came out to one of my sisters this past Thanksgiving, and it's been great for the most part. All I could have hoped for.
great video, great message! I came out when I was 16, and it changes everything and nothing at all; ('everything' mostly inside you, 'nothing at all' mostly in your environment)
also, to trow a bit of altruïsm in the mix of this selfabsorbing issue: coming out is probably the single biggest thing you can do to advance acceptance, understanding and support for other LGBTs ('once and for all, break down the myths, destroy the lies and distortions' H.Milk)
Awesome video ^^ I pretty much agree with every single word you said, you're so damn right about this huge relief, after those scary scenarios and stuff !!!
I applaude you and everyone else on you tube making videos. These videos helped me so much before I came out which, my one year anniversary is coming up in February... you are right you can be happy and your family will come around if you give them information and support them as well....
I'm grateful to live in a time and place where (basically) no-one has a problem with my orientation, but I mean, it's still hard to actually come out...
we live in a world where everyone thinks about what other people will think of them but you shouldn't care. obviously know your surroundings and live your life for yourself. You are number 1!
La verdad, tíooooo. me encanta estar fuera del armario. Y ir a Long Play. Y Drunken Duck. Y el Tigre. Y Liquid. Y hablar con personas como no soy un monstruo. Y pensando en eso, comer croquetas también. ¡AY! ¿Pk tngo k salir de España? Fuck. That. Shit. haha
@jacobyoutubification Omg. haha. I WISH. Congrats tho. Glad you guys are still working out. I'll just continue ready my books from the Berkana (the gay bookstore in Chueca) and hope to be as lucky someday. ;) (P.S.: Please make a cute adorable video with your boyfriend someday. Couples like you give me hope. :D)
Am sorry, I just have to point this out, butttttt are you really a native speaker (Spanish). There's a few mistakes in your paragraph. For beginners : "E" ir a Long Play...
I cant find any unattractiveness in this video, but what i can vividly see is the beauty of your soul, your spirit and your person. Great job! and keep on to being you, being awesome!
Great video. Being a straight person, I would like to know what kinds of gay stereotypes people use that bug you. Or if such stereotypes bug you at all.
For the longest time I felt like there was something that God wanted from me that I hadn't found. And I finally realized what it was when I came out completely. I realized being an example of love for others is what God wants most from me. You should try and live your life in a way that others benefit from knowing you. I do that by being an out gay man with values most people can admire. I wish everyone who decides to come out the best of luck! Congrats Jacob! Great video and very handsome! :)
Your in a great place, congrats! Your beaming, so nice, BUT Coming out should be a goal, for kids who are emotionally mature & able to handle anything that can happen. We all would hate for some poor uneducated kid to kill themselves cuz their parents react badly for example. I know thats what you were getting at when you said "when your ready (softly)", but some kids may not know what that really means, Im only emphasizing & clarifying it. good luck out there!
The angle is great, but I would sure love to see you in profile! I always see you full-front and it is rather two-dimensional. A profile, and even a back view would be nice. Okay, I am crazy! LOL! As far as the content, I couldn't agree more! People need to come out to their family and friends, and say fuck the consequences! Living in the dark shadows is no way to live.
Awesome video! I'm out to all my friends, but still waiting for the right time for my parents. I know I'll be really happy in the end, but I'm still financially dependant, and I'm already pretty open about my sexuality to everybody else
I like the argument that it will happen one time, so you should control when it happens. Think about someone you care about hearing the news from someone else and how much that would hurt them. Be the one in control and let them understand who you are.
such a clear an concise statement, great for those that haven,t come out yet, and I don,t want this to be taken wrong but I,ve been gay since 8, 60 years ago and have a pretty good gay radar and would never have guessed you were , but it great to be gay today. There are so many advantages to being gay many of my straight freinds over the years tell me it eould have been so much more simple with them had they been gay. Not sure i agree with that but it is good to be gay and your vid halps.
Wow! I feel like you know exactly what's going on in my life RIGHT NOW!! I have a lot of respect for you! It was like you and I were having a private conversation! Glad to hear things are going well for you. You seem really confident. Thanks!
Video Idea: What is your opinion on the way the media portrays gay men? Do you think, like me, there should be a wider spectrum since it seems to only show one side and by that I mean that the media seems to only focus on girly gay men.
It is better to come out younger. I didn't officially come out till I was in my mid 20s. Funny thing, most people were like, oh you just figured that out? I have been lucky, all my family has accepted me. My dad, who I was most worried about, told me, "I don't care who you love, as long as you are happy." Honestly I agree, just come out. Either they will accept you and then truly love you, or they won't. Hard as it is, it is worth it.
So very true. It's not always easy being out but it's so much better than being in the closet and have to second guess everything you say or do before you say or do it.
I'm gonna run away to spain like you did. Well, not Spain, but somewhere in Europe. U taught me that running away leads to freedom, so I'm putting on my Nikes and running like the wind.....d'you think I could live in Italy even though I don't know a word of Italian?? I fully have a thing for Italian men is all =( *and no, don't wanna move to england, i have family there so no thanks! I do have EU citizenship though, so I can fully live in Europe !! Weehooo!!*
Love this. I was fortunate enough to come out at 19 while in college and it helped a lot in a lot of aspects. I am now 25 and have been out at my job since I started. Best of all it does not matter to me who knows it is not something I have to hide. Despite the fact that I work for a religiously affiliated organization better than people not caring whether I am gay is the fact that they respect that I am open and even try their hand at setting me up on dates.
I was a youngster in the 70's. I made out with so many "strait guys" it wasn't even funny. My early experinces showed me that the lines between strait and gay are very much shades of gray. I'm a south texas country boy and I had the gumpsion to declare my sexuality early on. It hascost me.There are family events that am not invited to. The price to pay for freedom. I have my god to answer to. Wouldn't have itany other way. your one fine man to know. God Bless......sam
Very good advice and your definitely right! I came out a few months ago and it was a little bit rough at first, but now its all good and it makes me feel like a HUGE weight has been lifted from my shoulders. One of the best decisions I've ever made! Oh, and don't worry about the camera angle, its anything but unattractive ;-).
Amazing video. Could have said it better myself. I too am 20 years old and just recently came out a few months ago. I am the happiest I have ever been. It is just the most liberating experience ever. Thanks for the video.
coming out to oneself, that's the monumental step, just accepting yourself and knowing that you belong, as you are, out there in the world.
afterwards, coming out to your family, well, depends on your family. if you expect they wouldn't be accepting, just make sure you're somewhat independant.
thanks for making these videos. I am in the same shoes that your where in and you are such an inspiration. My family was not religious but I started going to church with a friend in like 6 grade and have been going to church. I have finally made up my mind to come out to my sister tomorrow over the phone ( unfortunately I haven't seen her in like 8 years) and she live cross country so wish me luck because I am tired living a lie.
I remember how you were on your first video and how you are now, and you look so much better. It happened because you were brave enough to accept yourself.
PS: You are so cute I just wanna hug you until you pass out hahaha just kidding... kinda
I'm thinking this is gonna be the final push for me coming out. I've been wanting to come out to my family & friends since I turned 16. I've told my brother around last year, and I've now told my best friend who is a girl just last week. Whatever happens, happens, I'm not going to continue being worried about what other people think about me.
@jacobyoutubification I'm delighted you're so happy now & a belated congrats on coming out! Words often seem insufficient to describe the feelings & change that occurs in your life after coming out!
Just to reiterate what Jacob said to everyone! I came out to some of my friends in College when I was 18 & it was so liberating. Over the subsequent years I came out to more & more people, & I told my family this summer. All went well! So now its completely out in the open & couldn't be happier!
it is SO TRUE this marking the 6 month since i came out it feels so good to feel this weight off my chest and i can move into the new year happy for once
I came out to my best friend when I was 17 & then at 18 to the rest of my friends & then I finally told my parents at 20. I never thought I would come out to them but I did. I'm glad I did because I can be myself now. Well I was myself before BUT now I don't have to hide that I like guys. I'm still the same though.
The only thing that kinda sucks is that no matter how much my dad says hes okay with it I know hes not & its uncomfortable with it but at least he tries I guess.

I'm a gay 15 year old and I've come out to my best friend (a girl) and a boy who's friends with both of us knows that i'm gay because of what we've done together. He's come out of the closet fully but i'm not sure if i should do the same thing. My family and friends would be fine about it but i don't want people to guess about me and this boy. I'm not sure what to do and i've talked to him about it but it's awkward and complicated. And how many people do you have to tell to have came out?
dodo1234345456 1 month ago
I can't accept myself, because: 1. My family is very religious, and I've always been taught homosexuality is a one way ticket to hell, which terrifies me. 2, In 2005 my mum found out my dad was/is gay when they were divorcing, and I've never had a good relationship with him. So that further instilled my mums hate for gay ppl, and because of the bad relationship I had from an abusive father it makes me feel sick that I'm even anything like him. I don't think things will ever get better for me.

@roadtou hey man I came from a religion that does not accept gay people and that being gay is the worst thing in the world. I'm here to tell you it aint. Message me if you want more info but your not going to go to hell because your gay. Second, I have tried the whole I can change path before and it doesn't work. I am sorry about your father being abusive but just remember that you are who you are and you are not your father. I am in the middle of coming out and I feel so much better.

I remember watching Jacob's first video, and i was terrified of coming out, i thought it would be an impossible life to live. But now, It's so much easier for me, time is the best healer for alot of fear, it gives you space to come to terms with yourself. Now it's on Facebook that i like guys, it took me about 20 minutes to save the changes i made on my profile, just for one click. If anyone tells you that you're lower than them, smile, and watch Karma break the finger that they point with

Hi you are so right! Unfortunately, I am one of those people that did what at the time I thought was the right thing to do. I got married and had 2 children. I just came out a week ago this Friday to my wife and it's not been good! I've been living this lie for so long and lying to myself, and hating myself all these years! It’s taken me 25 years to figure it out! I also told my parents, it's been the most difficult thing I have had to do in my entire life! But thank you for the video! It helps.

I'm just too scared to tell my parents. My whole life I've lived up to be some perfect and moral student and I know if I tell them this one secret that I'm gay, it's all down the drain. I wish, pray, and hope one day they can accept it, but I know it won't. And there happiness means more to me than my selfish happiness..

@josemannydiaz I felt the same way but it isn't that bad. And it's your life, it is unrealistic and selfish of your parents to try and force you to be something you aren't. Wait until you are ready and independent but in most cases your parents will come around, but even if they don't you will have made a huge step in your life that will help make your life great.

If you are in the US and you fear for your safety about coming out, talk to a teacher, a counselor, a friend, someone you trust first and let them know your plans so you have a support system. Look up a local LGBT Center or charity that works with LGBT teens and young adults, if you need help finding one, I have worked at one in the past and can help you find information. Most LGBT organization can help if you get kicked out. You have a community, look for it, and embrace it. Be strong!

Just to put it out there, I don't think Jacob means to come out if you think your life is in danger. Obviously, like me, he is from North America and we can a lot of freedom here to be out and live a proud life. That being said, even to some of you in the US, if you do fear you'll be hurt or seriously victimized for coming out, don't. Wait it out. It gets better once you are older even if you have to stay in the closest. We'll support you online if you need an outlet until then.
lilfelber 1 month ago
@lilfelber Exactly. I want people to wait until they are ready but the people who this is directed at are young adults who are independent from their families and still avoid coming out. This video was trying to give courage to those who aren't living life to its full potential because of their fear. I understand waiting. I waited til I was 20. But waiting until your late 20s is denying yourself so many opportunities and experiences. I made this video to try and encourage, not endanger.

I think what's most important is that you come out to yourself first. If you can attach the word "gay" to yourself and admit that it is part of your identity, that is coming out. The specifics of telling the people in your life vary from person to person, and you have to take into account your own situation.

I agree but some effects of coming out sometimes backfire like, kicked out, treated different, lose friends etc but i also agree and believe tha it changes ur way of life from now on wen coming out some like and some dnt but im bi, i wasnt affraid of comin out cause at tha end of tha day its my life, my choices and change my life.

Alright, so i came out last october unwillingly. My family kinda went through my facebook and found messages between me and this guy. It was a disaster. My parents think im depressed and that i made the whole thing up for attention so they are sending me to therapy to "cure" me. But overall, i do have to say that it has gotten less tense around the house and everybody (except family) has been really excepting and i have lost and made friends, but im happy i am out now. Great Vid by the way:)

Sometimes it's hard putting on a brave face everyday and smiling, and at the same time convincing myself that no matter what, things will turn okay, even in the worst of times. It's hard being the gleam of hope for other people and never having someone be that gleam of hope for you. Sometimes I wish I lived in a place with no hatred..

@rlm1942 I spoke with pastors with all differing opinions on the verses in the Bible that seem to mention homosexuality. Spoke with ancient Greek and ancient Latin professors who both say that the Bible is mistranslated to a certain degree and the context for the message isn't being considered appropriately. I am not trying to change people's beliefs. I am trying to get them to explore them and make sure that they aren't blindly accepting things without knowing the truth. You CAN be gay.

@rlm1942 My friend, shake those chains. Your very torment shows that you will accept other peoples beliefs' My friend, take a second look at Jesus's message. Not once did he require anybodys permission to be the holey soul that you are.
driverain2 2 months ago
@rlm1942 Hey man, I grew up the son of a very christian southern baptist mother and a military father, so I know it seems like that's a huge hurtle, and it is, but not an insurmountable one. I agree with @Jacobyoutubification in that the Bible actually doesn't condemn homosexuality, the only direct place that man-on-man sex is mentioned is the old testament, about 5 verses after it says don't eat shelfish (so no shrimp cocktail). That was a cultural rule of the time not religious doctrine.
lilfelber 1 month ago
@rlm1942 As a matter of fact the Bible actually condemn's heterosexual sex in some form or another over 100 times, and the church is ok with that. Anyway, Jesus changed the ways those old laws were by saying "Love the Lord your God with all your heart mind and soul, and the second commandment is like it, love your Neighbor as yourself". If you ever get called out be a Christian for being gay, just ask them how they are loving their neighbors by being hateful. I promise it gets better...be strong

Be safe though, guys. Know you're circumstances. Coming out is right for certain people at a certain time. If you fear your parents might actually do something drastic, please, be safe. Some parents have done awful things to their children. Coming out isn't worth abuse or being put on the street if you can just wait until you're older. And don't worry, people are working on changing the way the world views gays. Just know when it's your time. Never force it.
Stay safe guys <3

It's safer in the closet. We got cookies in here :D. But seriously though, its not as simple as you know 'hey I'm gay.' Until we reach to a point where you don't have to come out as gay (i.e its regarded as normal) coming out wont solve anything. It gets easier in some cases. It doesn't stop the bullying etc but it bothers you less. Coming out is about someones maturity and their ability to stand on their own 2 feet. I may seem pessimistic but reality often sux. The world be hating!
SkyKingEX 2 months ago 12
@SkyKingEX it is hard but people often convince themselves that it is harder than need be. my family didn't take it well and it did require a lot of independence but it ended up working out. and i think it gets positive in every case. i have never met anyone who regrets coming out. people may regret timing or the way they came out but you will never regret living a life that is true to yourself

@jacobyoutubification Coming out is not the answer for everyone. Im with you, in that coming out is a noble, lofty, goal, but it's a personal decision. sadly it's a fact, it doesnt get positive in every case. no pressure, end of story.
sleekcartim 2 months ago
@SkyKingEX the only way we'll ever reach a point where coming out isn't as big of a deal is by coming out. only by exposing your friends family members to it and showing them it's ok will it be possible for it to be more accepted. the more people are out, the more "normal" it is. I put normal in quotations because gays are a part of the minority, and always will be. there are more straight people in the world, so we'll always have to come out in some way.
amateurexpert 2 months ago
While I do agree with the sentiment, in some cases it is highly difficult and sometimes unwise to come out of the closet. For me, I came out by accident when I was 17. My parents found out first, and after that there was no point hiding anymore, so I let my friends know. It was tough but worth it. All my family and friends back home were fantastic, and I love them to bits. Sadly I'm on a year abroad in China now, forced back in the closet due to the views of a few of the guys on my rugby team.

Great point about being proactive and taking control of your coming out. A lot of guys, especially in high school, make things worse for themselves by kind of nibbling at being gay without actually coming out. Then they get outed and everyone gives them a hard time, whereas if they had come out on their own, choosing who to start with and building some support, they would have gotten props for having the courage to be themselves.

I realized being an example of love for others is what God wants most from me. You should try and live your life in a way that others benefit from knowing you. I do that by being an out gay man with values most people can admire. I wish everyone who decides to come out the best of luck! Congrats Jacob! Great video and very handsome! :)

It is better to come out younger. I didn't officially come out till I was in my mid 20s. Funny thing, most people were like, oh you just figured that out? I have been lucky, all my family has accepted me. My dad, who I was most worried about, told me, "I don't care who you love, as long as you are happy." Honestly I agree, just come out. Either they will accept you and then truly love you, or they won't. Hard as it is, it is worth it.

Best of all it does not matter to me who knows it is not something I have to hide. Despite the fact that I work for a religiously affiliated organization better than people not caring whether I am gay is the fact that they respect that I am open and even try their hand at setting me up on dates.

coming out to oneself, that's the monumental step, just accepting yourself and knowing that you belong, as you are, out there in the world.
afterwards, coming out to your family, well, depends on your family. if you expect they wouldn't be accepting, just make sure you're somewhat independant.
Peace and Love.

I'm thinking this is gonna be the final push for me coming out. I've been wanting to come out to my family & friends since I turned 16. I've told my brother around last year, and I've now told my best friend who is a girl just last week. Whatever happens, happens, I'm not going to continue being worried about what other people think about me.

@jacobyoutubification I'm delighted you're so happy now & a belated congrats on coming out! Words often seem insufficient to describe the feelings & change that occurs in your life after coming out!
Just to reiterate what Jacob said to everyone! I came out to some of my friends in College when I was 18 & it was so liberating. Over the subsequent years I came out to more & more people, & I told my family this summer. All went well! So now its completely out in the open & couldn't be happier!
