@dahviewaveyraw are you trying to murder all of us with your abs?? XD PS im subscribing! It was hard for me to come out to my mom 2...still havent told my dad;)
Well for me i'm gay and i needed to tell my parents(i am age ten).But the a sudden ''ahha''moment that my family think homosexuality is wrong and should be in the world. So i decided to runawy from them so i can find a family that would exepct me and would not regect me just for my sexulality. Eventually i failed and also i still didn't tell them yet so i'm lying my biggest lie to my family
Being that I just came out to my dad less than a month ago I feel like I can relate to your story so well.. goosebumps and tears on this end of the screen.. we still aren't on speaking terms though, FOR NOW..I hate that I COULDN'T for the life of me SAY "dad i'm gay" and I wish that I wouldn't have had to send an email to get it out.. Its been 27 yrs comin and I am glad it's out there in the open now.. things in my life have started changing already.. thank you for sharing Davey!!
That's so sad. I am 12 and when I came out to my mom she just tried to tell me I wasn't. We argued and didn't talk the next day. She still won't acknowledge that I'm gay but we have 6 years to go.
Being gay is not your fault. Naive people think it is like an acquied vice like that of a drunkard,or rapist,or gambler,and they believe if proper guidence ,treatment,and prayers are given,he/she will become normal. But most of them are unaware that gays are born thatway,and die that way,and no body can change them. Friend- you look great and I wish a very happy life in future.LOVE YOU.
The day I came out was the day of silence of 2011, Fortunatly I was not going to see or talk to my mother untill midnight that night i had school then a dinner i had to go to, etc. I made my mother a card that said simply I am Gay on the inside with a gay pride flag and asking her to message me when she got it. around one o'clock in the afternoon i got a message saying, I got it and i asked how she felt she said the words that brought tears to my eyes and still do, I WILL LOVE YOU EITHER WAY :')
i came out at 20 years old and my family forced me to not have that kind of feeling ... now im 24 and they act like it never happend and i have to hide everything about myself
You you brave to risk it all with tour mother. So happy she understood. A lot of young adults aren't as lucky as you and have spent those lonely nights under the stars. I had a friend come out to me a few months ago. They are going to get married soon. I asked one question are you happy? The answer was yes. Friends are friends always, I cherish that.
So nice. You get some really weirdo comments, you know that? Like, really weird. Who the hell even brings God into this any more? Sad... like, pathetic. You're awesome, and if you ever need me to slap any of the pschos who seemingly watch your videos specifically to be annoying, you know who to call (well, actually, I suppose you don't...). At any rate, this was touching. So much so that I ducked my head and could only listen, because I can't watch something so sweet and listen at the same time.
Oh my god you're so sweet. One should never be judged for their sexual inclination but for the kind of person he or she is. I hope people will finally stop juging.
Our world is getting so much better at recognising and aceepting homosexuality in socierty but I dont think it will ever be perfect coz there will always be haters that will judge a man purly on who they choose to sleep with. :( Every one has there own coming out story, there own individual persona. Some were late at recognising and accepting it like I was, while others knew and accepted it in their young adolescense or maybe before.
You are an abomination to the Lord your God. I am gay but would NEVER even think of committing sodomy, knowing the terror of God and what would happen to me if I did!
THANK YOU. YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL MAN. I watched this with tears in my eyes. Please forgive us all for being selfish and cruel to you - those of you who's been through cruelty. I recently understood that you came to Earth to teach people real love and real acceptance - by loving and accepting yourself for what you are. I am learning that from you - being hetero. And please know and remember that just as much as your Moms mean a world to you - YOU MEAN A WORLD TO HER. And to many other people, too.
You're lucky to have a parent who is very important and close to you be able to accept you for who you are. Me coming out to my mom was completely different. All she said to me was "It's against the Bible" then never said another word to me about it. I wish my coming out went as smoothly as yours.
@MasonShields92 Please remember that as Davey said that your Moms mean a world to you - YOU MEAN A WORLD TO HER. She loves you deeply. Please allow her time to come to terms with this. It is a tough experience for children to come out to their parents (and friends) but please be strong - for her and for yourself. It is not easy - and it'll take some time to accept.
@MasonShields92 Please forgive us all who are having difficulties accepting it. Please know - it hurts to learn this,it just hurts :((. That's why it takes time to accept it. I'll pray for you and your Mom. I am writing this with big tears in my eyes. You guys are beautiful and strong men and may that inner beauty and strength be your protection at times when you need it.
Davey, you made me cry. My mom means so much to me and you totally captured in words the intense emotion I felt coming out to her. You're wonderful. Don't let anyone tell you different!
Great story, but reading the text sounded quite impersonal :/ AND PUT ON A SHIRT! gosh not even o coming out you can do that. Domt you own A shirt?????
hey why the hell youre supposed to have a hard life being gay, hell the seccond somebody treats you bad you can allegate discrimination in a court and make money out of it, or when they dont give you a jobs etc.
my mom was easy to come out too..kinda..she asked me if 1 of my friends and i were more than friends..and then didnt talk to me for a day or 2 and then just somewhat accepted it..its my DAD im afriad of..im a daddys girl into sports.dads best friend..and i kno it will break his heart..but also..he has said iv bn like a son he never had..but yea idk soon tho soon..
I Feel your pain. I'm a 14 year old homosexual andI came out to my friend Lisa and I just came out to my mother, brother, grandparents, etc. I cried when I watched this. My coming out was (Not sure of the date LOL) I'm pissed I didn't write it down. I cried my mom screamed and cried know I would have a hard life. She still loves me and once and a while she'll pop off a gay joke, we both laugh :) I love your videos and this one by far is my favorite and the one I connected to the most! LoveMelray
I cried. Im a 22 yr old lesbian.I came out to my catholic mum at 18.At 1st she said she would accept me for who i was,though say she wished i would settle down with a man,but if i was happy,shed be happy.As time passed&i think she realised it wasn't a "phase",her true self showed. 4 yrs later i still live with my parents, though my sexuality is never spoken of. When it is "it's a phase & it will pass"or"I'm trying to prove a point & rebel"-thank you for showing me...coming out wasn't a mistake.
Davey, i just want to say, i'm a bisexual girl. I came out to my mother when i was just 13. It took some time for her to be tottaly accepting of my sexuality, but she told me she was always there for me. I'm now 17 and pregnant with my boyfriend of 3 years, i think she tries to forget at times that i'm bisexual, but just because i've been with a guy for so long doesn't mean i dont think about girls all the time. I have respect for you and your situation! Stay strong FOREVER! -Kim

I just finished watching this at work and now I have tears running down my face.
If a grocery clerk or waitress say something derogatory, you can just shrug it off because there are other waitresses and grocery clerks out there who are accepting. When it comes to parents you only have 2, and that made it difficult for me to come out to them.
When I did come out my mother was so accepting that she told me that if I wasn't happy being gay then she would kick my butt because she raised me to b
This made me cry. I told my mother about 3 years ago that i was a lesbian and she told me i was going to hell and told me to get out of her house. Then about a month later she told me i could move back in if i told everyone i was straight. When i told her i wasnt going to be something im not she told me i could come back and we talked about it for hours, but she still pretends i am not a lesbian to this day...
Davey,you are truly special,I love you! I am only out to you and the rest of our youtube family and my amazing Mom. My coming out was not on the 3:00am agenda,I was watching a Brent Everett video and I heard my mom coming up the stairs. I tried to shut down the site,but the computer froze.I was like O SHIT!!!! but all went well. I am very scared about coming out to the rest but, with everybody's love and support I hope to make this process a little easier for all of us. Love You All!
@Davey you will probably never red this comment but I don't care. I have been watching a lot of coming out story. Yours is the one that particularly stands out. I'm only 13 but that doesn't mean I can't know who I am. I wanted to tell a guy because there are not many girl coming out stories. I just wanted to see what your opinion would be if I came out to my mom. Thanks.
My story is like yours...I hate coming out... It's just so hard...so scary...not knowing what the persons reaction will be is heart racing...I come to YouTube and watch these videos for support, unfortunately sometimes there's assholes that mock us and treat us like shit, but, we must move on, move on with life, maybe one day I'll be able to stay in Washington state with my family and still be married...I need a man who loves me for who I am, I wish life were better...
I just came out to my mom a week or so ago, on July 29th, 2011. davey, you said what i know and feel, but coudlnt put you words as well. this made me cry, harder than i ever had of a youtube video. davey i love you.
your stiry brings tears to my eyes and down my cheecks because of your time of vulnerability but mostly from the flashback of the last moth of coming out
Coming out is scary, I'm 18 and my parents still don't know.
Btw is there someone on the bed behind you?
To everyone else, can't we please stop insulting each other? What does it accomplish? To show that we're mean people? Love each other, it makes the world better!
I choked up right after you did Davey. Reminds me of when I came out & my mom cried & got worried for my safety but now, it's as if things got a billion times better.
im a very strong man when it comes to my emotions, this was the first time i cried since my mom moved away without me. nobody knows im gay and i dread each day that passes where i have to hide this. i have already decided that when i graduate from highschool i will come out to everyone. the next 2 years will be the longest years of my life. but it beats all the people in school picking on me at least.
okay seriously dude. meaning the redskins dude. get a fucken life. y would even waste ur time insulting other people. how would u feel if someone actually did kill themself over u telling them too? obviously u have no life if u have to sit and make fun of people.
Thx for this :) I know coming out is hard but im always overcome with joy when someone finally does. So *hugs* to everyone who has come out and *hugs* still to those of you who are still trying to find the courage or the right words and way to come out. Just know you are awesome :) and davey yes i cried happy tears :)
Somehow I missed this video of yours. It was touching, moving, incredibly well-written and completely heart-wrenching. I love that you have a good relationship with your mom. I am so thankful that her right-wing mentality made room to love a son who lived on the left side of her theology. I grieve for every one of us how bore our hearts to our families in love and earned a very different payment for our truthfulness.
WOW.. that was very beautifully written.. You could feel all your emotions and feeling that went into writing this.. It almost looked like you were going to start crying at the end. Just an observation.
I'm a muslim & i know how hard it can be when your a little different . im a straight female but its because of men and woment like you who open up to the world & make more people open their eyes & realise that it really dosent matter if your straight or gay , we are all human we all have the same basic needs & one of them is love ... does it really matter who we get it from? your very insperational in many ways & ty for sharing :)
You are a brave man, Davey! I could never have done what you have, especially to my conservative Asian Muslim parents. You are an inspiration! Keep on doing what u do best.
Your so lucky that your family accepted you. I'm a lesbian and my best friend is gay, we lived together in foster care for three years because our families never accepted us. we had each other and that to this day is all we need.
I may not be a gay "guy" or anything but,I am gay in a sense of liking the same sex.I'm a girl,17 years old,and am bisexual....and am very proud to say so.My mom and dad will never except me liking other girls...when i first told them they cried and told me that i was a failure as a daughter...one of the worst days of my life but,when I told them it took so much weight off my shoulders..I couldn't be happier that I FINALLY told them my 'big' secret :D!!!DaveyWaveyRaw.....YOU RAWK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@AnimeNerd131 Hi I saw your comment on the video. And it really made me sad. I mean how could they say that after 17 years with you. I hope you are ok :) Have a great day and a FUCKING AWESOME Life :)
i'm a girl. a male fellow student came out to me years ago - he was concerned about my reaction because i used to make gay jokes. he thought i had a problem with gays (which i hadn't at all). it made me think... i stopped making gay jokes - i realised how insulting and unsettling this was.
and now, a few years later, a co-worker wasn't even thinking of coming out to me (in that way). he wasn't concerned (like with other co-workers). he just showed up with his boyfriend.
My friend came out two years ago, no one but me would even talk to him. And some even hit and man handled him for being a "fagot", I hope people never do that to you.
Beautiful story Davey... Thanks for sharing it with the world. Hopefully it will give others the strength that they may need to take their first step out of their closet. So many people worry about what "their friends" will think or say. To them I say "If they can't accept the fact that you are still the same person you were yesterday or last week, but they just know more about you now, and accept you as you are, then they don't deserve to be your friends, and never were REALLY TRUE FRIENDS! <3
That was beautiful. I hope one day that I'll be able to sit and tell my family. I wish I could've told my mom before she passed but I was only 10 and had no clue that I would like boys. Thanks for sharing. Really thanks.
Sad. This is the way you tell your parents" Look what YOU have created, and I love it. It's natural, it's like having red hair. It's time that people throw it in the faces of those who created and let them deal with it.

you are lucky for having your parents understand you. My story wasn't that nice... I haven't really come out to my parents, I've only told my friends who all accepted me(this was when I was in first year high school 2008)... One of my friend, knew what I was going through, so she gave me a book, she told me to write what I feel, from joy to pain, so I did just that, but who knew that my mom could really not respect me and book-napped. I was hoping she would understand, but she didn't. :(
you're very fortunate. your generation had everything ready for your taking. specially those who grew up with very very sensible parents. what happens when there are two gay guys in the family? it's something that is still holding me back all these years. i know good mothers will always understand. but, there is always a nagging thing that holds me back. guys from my generation.
i love the video, truley made me emotional. i may be strait but i 100% with all my heart support gay rights and everything.i'm one that's more for if you love someone then who cares who it is or what sex they are.i really firmly believe that no one has the right to judge others based on their sexualitly or anything like that. i also can't understand why some parents act like they are a disgrace because of it, i wouldnt care if my kid or anyone i knew was gay.ithanks for sharing with us!
I still haven't come out. I want to, but I'm so scared. Even thinking about it too much makes my stomach hurt. I know I'll feel better once I don, but I'm scared my mom will hate me, or even love even a tiny bit less.
My coming out also had a similar 20-questions theme... I found this very touching. I feel that my outing was a lot easier than most people would have had , though. My mom was a teacher and raised very democratic and my dad already had two gay cousins.
I wish my mom would have take it s well as yours did. I wait until i was 21 and had a job so I could support my self and pay for college if she disowned me when she found out her youngest kid was gay. She did, but know she is talking to me again and things are getting a little better each time we talk.
Davey, you're video hit so close to home, I am literally sitting in my dorm room in tears. I still have not found the courage to come out to my parents. All of my friends know and my brother knows. You have truly inspired me with this essay, this summer, when I go home for break, I will come out to my parents. Thank you again =]
I still have not had the confidence to tell my parents that I'm bi. All my mates know, but coming out to ur parents us harder as you will know them for the rest of your life
A wonderful story. Although it doesn't have to end that way. Unfortunately it does sometimes when the person is hurt emotionally and has no one to talk too and understand his feelings. No one deserve to be rejected by their parents or siblings but instead support him and tell him you LOVE him as he is. He will love you back more for accepting him and understand his love.
I'm 17, I also came out to my mom that I'm bisexual but the times changed a lot, I began to only have feelings for men (gay) and its been hard to explain to my mom how much I like this guy. It hurts me a whole lot because I use to always tell my mom everything but the months have now made it seem like I live two lives two worlds and its becoming harder as the love for me and Sam begin to grow. I wish I had someone to talk to. Sam can only help me so much hes the reason I still wake up.
I like this video. it takes courage to put this kinda thing on youtube. mine was almost the same. but i just wanted to say i liked it. it was really heartfelt. and i commend you for the courage to tell all of us.
You know watching this video made me think so many times how i came out and how i could have done it better or done it at the right time, i came out to my closest friends first who always knew i was gay but i kept it in since i was 16, after 14 years later and 29 years old, i finally came out in Octover 2010 to my mum and she had a strange response but has got to know me a bit better. It was hard, its not easy but glad i have done it!! All the best!
Davey, where was you when I was a miserable closeted lonely kid in the '50s? I got YANKED out of the closet in 1970 at age 22. My mother had read through my private letters and asked me. I said yes and she replied that my dad would surely be shocked. She later told me he had known for years.
Your sweet videos bring tears to my eyes, and I love you as a friend!

I cried. Im a 22 yr old lesbian.I came out to my catholic mum at 18.At 1st she said she would accept me for who i was,though say she wished i would settle down with a man,but if i was happy,shed be happy.As time passed&i think she realised it wasn't a "phase",her true self showed. 4 yrs later i still live with my parents, though my sexuality is never spoken of. When it is "it's a phase & it will pass"or"I'm trying to prove a point & rebel"-thank you for showing me...coming out wasn't a mistake.

Davey, i just want to say, i'm a bisexual girl. I came out to my mother when i was just 13. It took some time for her to be tottaly accepting of my sexuality, but she told me she was always there for me. I'm now 17 and pregnant with my boyfriend of 3 years, i think she tries to forget at times that i'm bisexual, but just because i've been with a guy for so long doesn't mean i dont think about girls all the time.

I just finished watching this at work and now I have tears running down my face.
If a grocery clerk or waitress say something derogatory, you can just shrug it off because there are other waitresses and grocery clerks out there who are accepting. When it comes to parents you only have 2, and that made it difficult for me to come out to them.
When I did come out my mother was so accepting that she told me that if I wasn't happy being gay then she would kick my butt because she raised me to b

Then about a month later she told me i could move back in if i told everyone i was straight. When i told her i wasnt going to be something im not she told me i could come back and we talked about it for hours, but she still pretends i am not a lesbian to this day...

Davey,you are truly special,I love you! I am only out to you and the rest of our youtube family and my amazing Mom. My coming out was not on the 3:00am agenda,I was watching a Brent Everett video and I heard my mom coming up the stairs. I tried to shut down the site,but the computer froze.I was like O SHIT!!!! but all went well. I am very scared about coming out to the rest but, with everybody's love and support I hope to make this process a little easier for all of us. Love You All!

and now, a few years later, a co-worker wasn't even thinking of coming out to me (in that way). he wasn't concerned (like with other co-workers). he just showed up with his boyfriend.

One of my friend, knew what I was going through, so she gave me a book, she told me to write what I feel, from joy to pain, so I did just that, but who knew that my mom could really not respect me and book-napped. I was hoping she would understand, but she didn't. :(

A wonderful story. Although it doesn't have to end that way. Unfortunately it does sometimes when the person is hurt emotionally and has no one to talk too and understand his feelings. No one deserve to be rejected by their parents or siblings but instead support him and tell him you LOVE him as he is. He will love you back more for accepting him and understand his love.

I'm 17, I also came out to my mom that I'm bisexual but the times changed a lot, I began to only have feelings for men (gay) and its been hard to explain to my mom how much I like this guy. It hurts me a whole lot because I use to always tell my mom everything but the months have now made it seem like I live two lives two worlds and its becoming harder as the love for me and Sam begin to grow. I wish I had someone to talk to. Sam can only help me so much hes the reason I still wake up.
