I never knew about this video! Thanks for being so honest with us, mainly about the depression and sexual orientation. I'm slowely coming out of the closet at well, mainly about the fact how big of a Harry Potter fan I am. My exboyfriends didn't even knew I've been on a Harry Potter forum since I was 15 and met half of my friends there. I'm 21 now and I think it's time to be honest to other people. Nerdfighteria and fiveawesomegirls inspired me to do it. (: Thank you, Lauren.
i dont want to make it seem like i wasnt paying attention to what this vid was all about and what it means, but i would like to say that hearing you talk about depression, even briefly, is what hit home for me in this vid. ive struggled with emotional problems for awhile now, and sometimes i feel really unsure about how messed up they may or may not be, but knowing that youve experienced depression helps me. i cant say exactly why or how, but it does. so thanks for that
You are amazing Lauren. This gave me so much courage to speak up about myself. I've always been slightly nervous to let my true self out, becaues I'm so different then everyone else I know. This made me realize that I don't need to hide that true side of me. Thank you Lauren. <3
This video is so...amazing. I'm impressed that you could say all of this stuff online. I wouldn't be able to. Sorry this comment is coming so late. :)
Aww lauren! :D This was so sweet. I know I am quite behind, seeing this video is almost two years old. However, you inspire me! There needs to be more equality in this world.
Wow, Lauren. It took forever for me to see this. Hahaha. BUT. I feel the same way as you do when it comes to this. (: It does take a lot of guts to tell everyone. Especially the people you love and don't want to lose. You just have to hope they love you enough to accept it. All of the people I have told so far are cool with it. So, that's nice. Lol. Have a nice one!
University was my chance to come out at bisexual, and since I have, I've found that the amazing reactions of all my friends here have given me the confidence to come out to all my other friends and family, which I'm just starting to do.
I also share your views on orientation. Like you, I fall for the person, not the gender! :]
Thank you for this beautiful video Lauren. It always lifts me up to see your confidence here. I particularly love the moment at 2:48 where you have this amazing smile; it's so much different from the famous Lauren-smile, but it's perfect.
Thanks for doing this! And congratulations, you make it easier for a lot of people :-)
I had no idea you were bisexual! Oh my goodness, thats AWESOME!!!! There are so many reasons you're the most awesome person in wrock and this is just one more reason!!!!
To think Alex has all those fan girls who think they have a chance! Thanks to this video, you may have even more delirious girls on your case!!! :D
Good for you! I started coming out as bisexual when I was your age as well. It's a very difficult, but extremely liberating time. Your courage has touched me!
epic lauren i'm bi my self (i'm 15) i have told some of my friends some were like omg but after a week or two they were fine with it but i have not told my parents but i think i will wait till i move out then tell them and way epic video
I don't know you personally, but you really are all kinds of awesome. This is an amazing video, and I am sure that it will inspire others to feel more comfortable with who they are, and to find the courage to share it with others.
Also, I'm a bit jealous. I really wish I could feel attracted to girls as well. There would be so many more awesome people to make out with. ;)
I am fangirling so much right now, Lauren. I love you! Haha, you're birthday's June 2nd, right? I'm the 3rd, so that makes us Gemini, and even though you might not believe in astrology, one big Gemini trait we're known for is our "curiosity", and supposedly a hell of a lot of us are bisexual.
Fun fact, yeah? I've also considered myself bisexual since I was 11. Wow, right? lawlz.
This is the most inspired and beautiful coming out videos I've seen in a long time. I'm sort of stuggling in this area and you've given me the courage to reexaime how I really feel about the opposite sex. Thanks Lauren!
I've been following you on your personal channel and on 5AG, and you're a beautiful, inspiring person. I love your spirit, Lauren. It definitely takes courage to put yourself out there. Even if it dosen't really make a difference since you don't know me, I'm proud of you and what you are.
Lauren I wub wub wub you and I'm really proud of you for having the courage to make this video. You are the best best best best best bestest. Hopefully this comment made your smile real lol.
Admired for being a genuine soul? Yep, definitely. THAT is why I support you Lauren.
Anyway, being famous for a fake smile worked out OK for the Mona Lisa. Or maybe the painting's fame had something to do with the talent of the painter ...
I love that you had the courage to be this honest and I really love that there are a hundred and twenty three great, supportive comments. The both make smile. :)
Lauren words cannot describe how brave you were. i have almost your exact same problems. im 13 and i agree with you about love. i have considered myself bi 4 years and have not told anyone but my gay brother who understands me most. i also believe i am going through depression but nobody not even mom believes me on that. i asked for a therepist but my mom said it was bc i wanted attention and that made it even worse i think it will still be a few years before i completely come out to the world.
I've always found you remarkably eloquent, and this only further confirms it.
I identify as gay - I kind of spent most of puberty just sort of thinking I was asexual, since girls did nothing for me. It was actually the Harry Potter fandom, through slash fanfiction, that made me recognise why that had been.
But your sentiment, about not turning away love in whatever form it presents itself, resonates deeply. I firmly believe, preference aside, that I could fall in love with a woman.
You are such an inspiration to me. Although I am straight, I have gay/bi friends and I am always there for them so they know they are loved and accepted. Before I watched this video, you already had a place in my heart, but this has taken my admiration of you to a whole new level. You give me the confidence to be myself and be proud, so thank you Lauren. <3 xx
I think its amazing your able to tell us this. Wrock on, and dont let any one give you any crap about who you are or who you love. Happy coming out week!
You're totally awesome Lauren. It's amazing how many ways there are at this point that you can inspire people. -huggles- Is it weird that I'd already guessed the bi bit? Guess my fellow bi-dar is working over time, considering I've never had the chance to go to a since one of your shows...
Lauren, I'm one of those people who you've never met. And probably never will, so I should just say this:
You are incredibly brave to post this for basically the entire world to see. It's really sad that some people can't accept others for who they are. The world needs more people like you.
Lauren - you are one of the most amazing young women in our generation. I hope this video inspired others. I hope that one day we can be in a society where coming out isn't a big deal and people just accept each other for who they are!
Good for you Lauren! You have the courage that some people merely dream about. I remember coming out when I was 16 and can relate to some of the issues you talk about in your post. P.S. I'm going to come out now and say I haven't actually listened to much of your music, but loved the song 'Wrocking Around the Bathroom Stall' on the Jingle Spells album :P
Lauren, I'm so happy that you're comfortable enough now to talk about this. You're a beautiful person, inside and out. And hey I have more posters than you, and I just keep getting more. Affordable art ftw.
this is a really inspiring video. even though i don't have a sexuality-related secret, the way that you revealed yourself truly and talked about your depression-related issues was so inspiring. even homosexual or people who are out have things to "come out" about.
Look, you've been posting on pretty much every coming out video and it is pathetic. You are obviously just not comfortable enough with yourself and need to take it out on other people. If you really didn't care, you wouldn't have bothered watching this.
And posters rock. You should see my room.
So please just go away and stop wasting your time. People like you make me loose faith in humanity.
Because white cinder block dorm walls are depressing and the more I cover them with things I like, the less I feel like I'm trapped in a mental hospital.
I am so proud and happy for you. As a gay guy, I know it's not easy to be honest and brave enough to accept it yourself, and then tell people and try to be accepted by everyone you love. I am just so happy you made this video, I really hope it does help people to love who they are and come out if they feel they need to. :) And guess what? I didn't even know it was Coming Out week!! Thanks for the information. ;) Oh, and oddly enough, I'm not even that surprised. :)
Most of the time I think about this in the same way, but I almost think it's a mental thing; I can't stand to see people, or creatures not being treated equal, and who's to say that relationships shouldn't be too.
LAUREN! I love the fact you've always been more than a one dimmentional youtube celeb. There is so much too you, and the fact that your bi is just one of the many.
Way to be awesome! Thanks for being brave as well. I can't imagine actually having this huge fanbase to consider when you do something like this, but I actually did a similar thing Saturday. I made my Facebook status 'Caitlin likes girls, too. Happy National Coming Out Day' and got surprisingly positive responses. Anyway, thanks for being brave and awesome and...wrockin'!
I know I'm going to be like the 50th person to say this, but it never gets old, right? I'm so proud of you!
And I can commiserate on the depression aspect of the video. I have teenage depression and I desperately need therapy. Or at least...I don't know, something.
But anyway, just know that no matter what you had to tell us, we'd be right there with you, because we all love you ^_^
I don't know how to say this cleverly since everyone has said it already, but; YOU'RE MY HERO! You really are an inspiration to people. I'm really happy you made this video. :)
Good for you, Lauren! It takes a lot of courage to come out online. And, I agree. Personality and respect are the most important qualities in any relationship.
I'm proud of you!
P.S. Audio preview definitely said "real estate" instead of "relationship." Interpret that however you like....
Damn right--it's the personality you fall in love with. Love is love. It's hard enough to find a decent person that will treat you with respect these days. Why limit yourself?
like, idk. I'm one of those who is more accepting of someone being gay/bi, because to me, it doesn't change who the person is, it's just one thing about them.
Watching this video has reminded me why you are my hero. you are such an amazing person and I, me in my entirety, would love(understatement) to get to know you. All that you have shown us on youtube has made me love you. for you. And I pray that one day, I will be graced with your presence.
Lauren, you're amazing! This video seemed full of happiness and light to me.
I am so happy for you, that you are comfortable enough to share all of these things with the world. I know you've been saying you wanted to for a long time!
You are an inspiration to me ... I am another person who is known for their smile, even though it's not always real ... and I applaud your ability to share yourself. I hope that your smile in the next little while is because you are happy. :)
Aww, looks like we have more in common than I thought before! I have to agree that coming out was a very hard thing to do. I hate that in this world there is so much drama regarding the whole thing. Love is love right?
Lauren, you're amazing!! I know that that probably took a lot of courage, and I just wanted to say that I think you're amazing and an inspiration. And not just to bisexual or homosexual individuals, but also to people who try to hide any aspect of their lives from those around them. Like depression, or eating disorders, but also small things like insecurities or fears. So, yay! And thank you!
you are kind of amazing.i would just like to say that i understand why people dont like or understand others being homo or bi but dont understand why people cant love people regardless of if they like guys or girls! i am strait and am comfortabul with that but i think that people need to be less discriminet because of sexuality. I am very proud that lauren has comeout with something as personal as this! another reason to lover her! please even those of you who think this is wrong love the people
I'm straight with occasional girl-liking tendencies. I don't care who knows it. As long as they aren't in my family. There's only been the one girl and that never went anywhere and I've lately been a bit disillusioned where she's concerned, so I'm thinking that one doesn't count. I'm straight like when you try to draw a straight line without a ruler. Sorta straight-ish. At any rate, very inspirational video. I don't plan on "coming out" until my grandparents die. At least the homophobic ones.
Lauren, you are my patronus. That was very inspirational and although I'm straight I support love. It doesn't matter who it's between. Keep up the wrock!!
Lauren, you're amazing. I've been watching your videos for nearly a year now, and I've always admired your honesty. Your courage is truly inspiring, and even though I don't know you in person, I just want to say that I'm insanely proud of you. You're awesome.
Though I don't really know you I'm really proud that you had the guts.
I'm quite secure in my sexuality and being straight, but hopefully this gives others who aren't the courage to come out and say if they're gay or bisexual.
Aww, Yay Lauren! I've been listening to your music and watching your videos for a long time and I'm proud of you for coming out with this video.
I find it so sad that people are judged for being gay or bi-sexual. I hope you continue to inspire people in the wrock and youtube community with your awesomeness. :D
This was awesome, Lauren. I don't know if you are allowed to be proud of people that you don't actually know, but I am proud of you for putting yourself out there! Happy Coming Out Week!
I'm straight, but I didn't know that until I was 11, and my friends always gave me a lot of crap about not liking boys. They still do, because I'm not as easily attracted to people as most of my friends are. Its in a joking way now though, because they accept me. When I was younger, it was always in an accusing manner, which was really awkward...How was I supposed to deny what I didn't even know myself?
who gives a shit if you're a dyke.

I am just so happy you made this video, I really hope it does help people to love who they are and come out if they feel they need to. :) And guess what? I didn't even know it was Coming Out week!! Thanks for the information. ;) Oh, and oddly enough, I'm not even that surprised. :)
You are amazing.

Lauren, you don't know me, but I love you.
Most of the time I think about this in the same way, but I almost think it's a mental thing; I can't stand to see people, or creatures not being treated equal, and who's to say that relationships shouldn't be too.

Way to be awesome! Thanks for being brave as well. I can't imagine actually having this huge fanbase to consider when you do something like this, but I actually did a similar thing Saturday. I made my Facebook status 'Caitlin likes girls, too. Happy National Coming Out Day' and got surprisingly positive responses. Anyway, thanks for being brave and awesome and...wrockin'!

I know I'm going to be like the 50th person to say this, but it never gets old, right? I'm so proud of you!
And I can commiserate on the depression aspect of the video. I have teenage depression and I desperately need therapy. Or at least...I don't know, something.
But anyway, just know that no matter what you had to tell us, we'd be right there with you, because we all love you ^_^

Good for you, Lauren! It takes a lot of courage to come out online. And, I agree. Personality and respect are the most important qualities in any relationship.
I'm proud of you!
P.S. Audio preview definitely said "real estate" instead of "relationship." Interpret that however you like....

Good Girl Lauren! I'm proud of you.
Damn right--it's the personality you fall in love with. Love is love. It's hard enough to find a decent person that will treat you with respect these days. Why limit yourself?

Lauren, can i say I love you?
like, idk. I'm one of those who is more accepting of someone being gay/bi, because to me, it doesn't change who the person is, it's just one thing about them.
Props.

Lauren, you're amazing! This video seemed full of happiness and light to me.
I am so happy for you, that you are comfortable enough to share all of these things with the world. I know you've been saying you wanted to for a long time!
You are an inspiration to me ... I am another person who is known for their smile, even though it's not always real ... and I applaud your ability to share yourself. I hope that your smile in the next little while is because you are happy. :)

Aww, looks like we have more in common than I thought before! I have to agree that coming out was a very hard thing to do. I hate that in this world there is so much drama regarding the whole thing. Love is love right?
iluffmysaxophone 3 years ago
Lauren, you're amazing!! I know that that probably took a lot of courage, and I just wanted to say that I think you're amazing and an inspiration. And not just to bisexual or homosexual individuals, but also to people who try to hide any aspect of their lives from those around them. Like depression, or eating disorders, but also small things like insecurities or fears. So, yay! And thank you!

you are kind of amazing.i would just like to say that i understand why people dont like or understand others being homo or bi but dont understand why people cant love people regardless of if they like guys or girls! i am strait and am comfortabul with that but i think that people need to be less discriminet because of sexuality. I am very proud that lauren has comeout with something as personal as this! another reason to lover her! please even those of you who think this is wrong love the people

I'm straight with occasional girl-liking tendencies. I don't care who knows it. As long as they aren't in my family. There's only been the one girl and that never went anywhere and I've lately been a bit disillusioned where she's concerned, so I'm thinking that one doesn't count. I'm straight like when you try to draw a straight line without a ruler. Sorta straight-ish. At any rate, very inspirational video. I don't plan on "coming out" until my grandparents die. At least the homophobic ones.

Lauren, that took a LOT of courage to do.
Though I don't really know you I'm really proud that you had the guts.
I'm quite secure in my sexuality and being straight, but hopefully this gives others who aren't the courage to come out and say if they're gay or bisexual.
Wonderful video.

I love you.
I'm straight, but I didn't know that until I was 11, and my friends always gave me a lot of crap about not liking boys. They still do, because I'm not as easily attracted to people as most of my friends are. Its in a joking way now though, because they accept me. When I was younger, it was always in an accusing manner, which was really awkward...How was I supposed to deny what I didn't even know myself?
