I'm sure your gay friends were glad when you came out. You are a good looking guy, and you seem smart and you are definitely articulate. Good for you for coming out.
We need everyone who is GLBT to come out. What an incredible shock it would be for society. I personally think You Tube will be a great platform for us. I thoroughly enjoy being gay, and wouldn't change for anything.
Awesome story. Do you think that if your sister hadn't've snooped, would it have taken a lot longer? Personally, I will never "come out". I don't believe being gay is any different than being straight in terms of natural.
@5hape5ter Same here. Your sexuality is a private matter. Why does it have to be different when you're gay? Besides it could be pretty obvious. But in terms of relationships its pretty much the same (sigh).
I am so glad your family has no problems with you're being gay. I really enjoyed your story. Wish you all the best for you and your loving supportive family.
@blainebill39 omg i remeber when i was 14 watching prayers for bobby with whole of my family it made me change my view on how you treat people who are gay, i try so hard to help people to accept who they are and i'v even stopped a couple of people trying to kill them selves but i never give up, i like seeing people happy.
Great story. I would have never guessed that you were gay. You're handsome and can be mistakenly taken as a straight dude. One more for the gay community. Yahhh!!!!!
You got it easy, you didn't have to say "I'm gay"...those words have a profound sense of difficulty for many...including me...and I feel so miserable sometimes that I KNOW my parents hint it but they just don't accept it...and the moment I tell them they won't accept it even if they had it coming (P.S., I'm 20...and coming out to them is nowhere near my future plans)
i don't want to waste my time reading the comments to this video but chances are, there are plenty of guys saying nice things, trying to gain your attention for just a second or two.
dude, you're handsome, and you seem nice, but i honestly can't stand people who are manipulative.
omg if i saw u in the streets, i would NEVER think you were gay. YOu arent like the flamboyant types! you seem very genuine and so-called "straight acting", ie masculine. ^_^ PLUS you are mega hot!
there is also homophobia out there, but its not like just because there are some assholes who think being gay is a sin and that you should go to hell for that "they are crazy." being gay is probably one of the most awesomest things that could ever happen to me :P <3 the vid ^^
they will you that you will have to face a lot of things in the world, aids and stuff like that. i told my mom that not only gay people get aids, that also straight people get it. so its not like just because i'm gay i'm going to get aids. then my mom started getting used to it. i actually bought gay pride bracelets and now i'm not afraid to let the world know.
hey, i'm only 15 years old and i came out! it was so hard for me at first, i used to get anxiety attacks.. then i just couldn't take it anymore, i told my friends, then everyone at school knew. and my mom asked me if i liked girls and i said. "mom i think you know.. i think girls are "yucky." lol and then she started crying. at first your parents will obviously feel bad
It is so much easier when they ask you. I would like it if my parents would ask me. Until then, I will wait for them to retire, move to Mexico, and I'll give them a call.
good for you!! coming out is horribly hard. I just came out to my friends at work about a week ago. It was hard but they all support me. I went on my first date with a dude about a month ago and its going very well I still haven't told my family but maybe one of these days soon i will
yeah it's hard for me too. Only two of my friends(which are girls) and my Aunt who is a Lesbian, know that I like guys. I asked my aunt if I should tell my mom and dad, and she said that Ishould wait until I find it necessary to tell them, like right now I am not seeing anyone, so no need to say anything about it, she said that when I do tell them, they mite be upset at first, but eventually they will accept it, and they will love me the way I am.
Great Story. Still trying to get the courage to tell my Parents! Hard part is my sister and brother like totally suspect I'm gay too! My Bro's a snooper! Haha.
Thanks Daniel. Great story, bit similar to mine. Cool parents. How was their reaction when you brought home your first bf? Seems even for "cool" parents to be a hard moment, maybe because until that point, they still hoped in the back of their head, things will turn out "straight".
My mom "investigated" my yahoo msgr when I was 16 and found where I'd been talking to my bf. Then all hell broke loose...but she's fine with it now. We were checking out roofers together just the other day : )
Surely it was not easy at all, but I am glad that you did it and your family responded so well. They have been very supportive of you. What a great family.
i'm so happy you had a good coming out story. not all of us do and its great to see when one does. your mom kills me lol wish mine was so open. i never had to say i'm gay to anyone. i always hinted at it. most of them said it for me. i feel bad but its a hard thing to do when your first coming out.
Thanks for sharing your story. Im still in the closet and now that I heard your story your words gave that strenght and confidence I needed to coming out! Thanks again!! I whish you the very best.. You handsome I 'd wish I could kiss you!!
I've been out for years now, it was not easy for me at first either but I guess it comes with time and time is all me and my parents needed. Now my mom is very supportive as well as my sister. Thanks for your story man
though am not gay, i would the queer community to come out more... i know its hard, but its imp tht da heterosexuals like me understand the fact tht da world is full of diffrnt ppl.. i dont like the fact tht ppl discriminate on basis of sexual orientation..
prob once more n more gay come out, mindset of the heterosexuals would change a bit.. n thts sumthng thts happening in India!!
If some one truly cares about you, then you don't have to be concern on how they are going to react when you come out. Those people who truly love you are going to love you no matter what!
Yeah. Be careful there. Only you know when it's right to come out.. It took me many years to come out to more than just my siblings and close friends. When I did, man, it just felt awesome and I'm glad I can say I'm out and proud.
Of course, my boyfriend is a bit more conservative and concerned. He's been gay bashed before---so he's always telling me: be careful.
Try talking to close friends first, those whom you know you can trust without doubt.
Thanks for sharing your story Daniel. Much appreciated man. Good to hear that your family accepted you for you and loves you to this day. We need more masculine strong gay men on YouTube like you. Word of Advice, don't tell your sister anything you don't want anyone to know from now on. lol. Post more videos because you are a great story-teller.
but why did you wait till college? did you tell your friends when you were younger or did you wait? or do they not know at all? because that's where i am right know.
I waited until college as well. I think that this is common. Not everyone has to come out in middle school! College is a great time to come out. High school sucks!
nice one. i came out as bisexual around xmas time 2006 ( i think) to my mtoher. at first she was horrified and said all the usual things (including Bisexual!-whats that?!) a few months later she adjusted to it, only my dad won't talk about it and never brings it up, but he knows.
coming out to family and friends is one thing, living the life of a gay man is another. my advise is: be tough because the gay world itself is far more hostile than what you think.

I can't help but being so proud of you my friend! The world you will be
"out" in is a far less hostile place than that which I came out in as a boy!
When I was not yet 18, I met and fell in love with a boy named Bobby
Griffith(Prayers for Bobby). His family at the time was dogmatically
religious, and the pain of the closet was unbearable for him. He took
his own life in 1983!

Thankfully that was a long time ago and much has

It thrills me to know that you will be able to lead an authentic life as
a gay man, and will even likely be able to marry the person whom you
love, if you so choose!
Yeah!!!!
May G-D Bless You!
