Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor theives, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." -1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (Holy Bible)
@ebonics4everyone - if you're such a homophobe, why are you watching these coming out stories and spewing your hate? If you can't love your child for who he or she is, then you don't deserve to be a parent.
You'd really kick your child out just because they aren't like you? how self-righteous are you gonna get before you arrive at the conclusion you are actually nobodys role model.?
im gay and i chose to be this way because i cant handle womens crap. as a gay man i can fuck as much ass as i want without having to pay for it. being promiscious is the best thing about being gay... all the ass and no bitch or her whining kids to pay for
Congratulations for being so brave, I faced it in the last year and I feel great now... I found your videos and loved it... you´re cute, congratulations... greetings from Brazil.
AWESOME SCORE IN THE BACKGROUND DUDE!!! Seven Years in Tibet indeed. Well, anyways....*thumbs up* guy. It's cool that you're gay. I'm gay too. It's pretty awesome. Well...I really did love your video and your message on Hope. I always wear a braclet that has the word "Hope" embedded into it.
@sulimanalkhudairy It is the main theme from "Seven Years in Tibet" composed by John Williams. I only remembered that because I would edit the videos and then find a song just about the right length to cover the whole thing and was able to backtrack my steps in iTunes.
I found this video inspirational and its made me want to come out and be me, as soon as possible. Im asked about how guys look, by girls so often and i said their not attractive or have just gone meh and then they reply with oh so you are straight then. When i much rather say. They are really attractive and hot and etc.
@Yudanashi There's nothing overtly gay about you at all. Your looks and voice and mannerisms are all perfectly masculine. I suspect MrSpermat was just being a smartass. But let's assume, for the sake of argument, he's correct. Why would that matter? I think your dad is a wise man, and was correct in saying he wants you to be happy and to be the best person you can be. That is a truly loving parent. God bless, and have a wonderful productive life.
My god. It looks like you're in the hospital. Because of you're shirt. The whiteness. Background. The lighting. The sad music. And the fact that you're telling a life story as if to make amends.
Thanks a lot for telling your experience. You have no idea how much it helps me to listen to you. I'm gay and lds too, came to my family over a year ago, they were very kind and understable to me, I'm now dealing with the mormon culture here in Salt Lake City I'm not out to my mormon friends here and sometimes it hurts the expectations they ave from me or the pressure they put on me to get married in the temple etc, of course they don't know about me. Anyway, thank you very much for sharing.
When I came out, it was obviously difficult. I'm Scottish, and Jewish. The Scottish part wasn't difficult, but religion was a problem. My bf is also both of the above For some reason, both of our families fully accepted us. I'm really hoping by now all is OK for you. Our best, Mack and Andrew
I find it a little difficult to believe that you woke up one morning as an adult and go, "I never knew I an gay until this moment." You sure you never had feels or lust for other men as you were growing up?
wow...wondering how life has been in the LDS community now a few years after you have come out?
I quit the church after realising that I can't change myself and I had to pick one. What's the church's response to you (and others alike) who have managed to stay in the church and also accepting who they are?
p.s. love your background music...where is it from?

David. You must have felt that you were free-falling. But dude....No offense, but Why do you kids have to reveal EVERYTHING on Youtube? It's bad enough to tell your deep, dark secrets to your friends... Why to the whole world???
@MEATYOKERRable because there are other ppl *kids/teens etc* who're in need of some support...ANY support....and hearing stories like this gives them that. It's a life preserve. It's a way to form an accessible community to ppl who may not have access to gay friends/community/counsellors etc. There's also nothing "deep" or "dark" about admiting who you really are. Friends would appreciate and respect his courage for being honest with them. It's hard being a minority, but having support is key
Alright, fair enough. However I myself have been a minority. In other words an outcast my whole life. Though I would love for garner support for myself and reach out and to others in my similar situation, I could not tolerate letting the world know about my humiliation. Hence, I can't understand why young men come out of the closet online and tell the whole world.
@MEATYOKERRable Right, so if you had had such a support like youtube growing up and positive role-models in the media or in everyday life, then you wouldn't have felt such "humiliation" or like a misfit. I was born in the mid 80's and my generation and one's that followed are shifting the world consciousness in a big way. We're knocking down old school mentality and bringing peace & unity to the world. The world needs revolution and we're here to help that along, basically...in a good way :-)
I love your story and the music. I have to say it is so hard to come out. I've come out to friends and family but some friends still don't know yet. I'm not going to tell them of they don't ask. The funny thing is that your friends and family know before you do.
@ando1135 Just because you are gay doesn't mean you can't give your mom grandkids. My best advice is to do it quickly, like a band-aid. My friend recently said this:
@ando1135 "Being nearly legally adult and still in the closet, I feel like a twentysomething trick-or-treater: the mask is just too small and painful and unnecessary to keep up the charade. And why do I still don this silly, unwieldy, unconvincing disguise? To be rewarded with the cheap treats of approval and maintenance of the status quo, to have my head patted by the religious and familial trick-or-treatees in my life."
i hate how its so hard for us gay people to admit to the world for who we are. if people and religion was more tolerant of every people, it would make life so much better. I commend you for coming out. I only came out to a few friends and they were supportive, but i have yet to come out to my parents. Thats gonna be really hard because they have the old fashioned way of thinking and i feel like im going to be a disappointment to them, especially my mom; she always talks about wanting grand...
it seems to me, the more of these i watch, its not being gay, its not coming out, its when you realize it thats the weird part. same kinda for me. maybe i make a vid. also u were hella fast about comeing out.
The first thing you need to do is recover from being Mormon. Find another religion if you feel you must have a religion. But exit from the Church. They hate you. They may say otherwise, but Prop 8 proves how much they hate you. I live in Salt Lake City. They hate us. Anyone who says or believes otherwise is full of it.
I can change you OR any homosexual back to straight. You are not gay, you just have a pecker fetish. You like pecker like a crack head likes pipe nothing more nothing less.
thankyou for sharing... on a side note, your voice is so relaxing (to me at least), random suggestion from me; you reading books on tape would be an awesome idea... i'd definitely purchase
I am in the same process myself and actually in denial on some parts. Reading up some of those negative comments, all I can say it is don't let those get to you! Be strong and keep your head up high because that is what I tell myself.
@mercabee Quite true- Dave, I am sure you are a cool and honest and a wonderful guy, so keep up the spirit and enjoy life as it comes with as less hate and as much love as possible. Greets from Alicante, Spain.
@izumozorc afraid? why? you look after your children no matter what they are. you will always be protective, the worst thing you can do is disown and ignore them.
If anyone needs proof as to whether or not being gay is genetic, consider this: most gays, like Yudanashi, are intelligent, kind, and cute as a button. It must be all part of God's design!
@Yudanashi I am 17 and I am currently beginning the process of coming out..god it's hard. I think because i've supressed my true self for so long (3-4 years)it seems..strange. I'm still trying to work out whether to tell my friend or parents first and how they'll react. The more i confront my TRUE nature the more i seem to be almost scared. Right now i think i'm just worrying about everything that could happen :S Do you have any hints or suggestions that you think make the process a bit easier?
@hpiercy19 A couple pieces of advice for you: 1st before you tell your parents make certain it won't harm your ability to get a good education. If they are going to pay for college and they will disown you if you tell them, then wait. While I have seen a few people gently prod their family into discussions about homosexuality prior to coming out, the best way to do it is to simply say "Mom, Dad, I need to tell you something. I'm gay and I love you enough to be honest with you about who I am."
@hpiercy It will change things, but for the better. The best way is like a band-aid. Peel it off quickly and the sting will last for a bit but ultimately its better than dragging it out inch by inch.
@Yudanashi Thanks so much. I don't think my parents will disown me but i really like your suggestion on starting the conversation. I think i'm just gonna get it off my chest as i am SO sick of having to hide a part of what defines ME. Once again, thankyou soooooo much! :)
@Yudanashi SHIT, that was extremely difficult. I don't think i've ever done anything so difficult. I sat them down at 9pm and told them how i felt about my sexuality, and that nothing would change it. I explained that the reason i was telling them was because REALLY, it isn't their problem, however i believe honesty needed to be exercised in order to strengthen our relationship as a family. I think they were disappointed but not shocked or openly angry either. I guess time will tell.
Hi David, awesome videos here, keep up the good work! I am a gay Christian so I can somehow relate to you. Also, you're a nice dude for even taking the time to talk with the dumb kids here that accuse you of stupid things (ahem: NataliePorts)
LOL, your eyes look fine. This is a really awesome video! I agree with you, it's really an outstanding feeling being able to tell other people you are gay and not keep it as a secret inside. I actually came out to my entire speech class during a speech. It left me with a feeling of "wow, did I just do that" but also its a real self-confidence booster. Plus when we live our lives openly, it shows other people its okay and normal to be gay. Thank you so much for contrubuting this to Youtube
actually I never admitted I had premarital sex, you extrapolated that from the Data but as your high school math teacher is sure to tell you next year when you is that extrapolations are useful, but not always accurate. Most men end up having sex before marriage btw. Plus up until a couple of years ago it was impossible for a gay man to have sex inside marriage
well I'm sorry getting a gay marriage isn't exactly as easy as getting a straight one. In 44 of the other states, there is no "post-marital" sex because many aren't allowed to get married.
well it depends on what you define as marriage.. If those men had it with the people they were gonna spend the rest of their life, then it could be considered marriage. Especially since marriage has existed for many years and most times had nothing to do with the government, being more social/spiritual, then "legal" marriage.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Please LOL, u called yourself a Mormon, let's see... u drank alcohol, smoked a Cigarette, and committed premarital sex, u hypocrite, my oh my, god wouldn't be pleased with that.
um lets see. I have never drank alcohol, I have never smoked. But lets less. You have by your own admission and for you it is illegal! you have no clue of the Hell I have been through. Would I continue to go through this hell if it simply were a choice? NO!
Who are you to say who is Mormon and who is not. Surely you're not god cos if you are you wont be such a hater.
And just because you are 'straight' does it give you the authority to accuse people and point out others mistake?
I guess someone has got big headed and forgot the teachings in the Gospel to have humility. You might want to give yourself a check first before taking the piss out on others.
Thats OK. You should do it in your own time. There is no obligation. You need to be comfortable with yourself and confident before you share this with others.
I would love to tell you that coming out isn't as bad as many think it is! For me it wasn't, but I was much older.
However, I have also known of many HORROR stories. You know your friends and family better than any of us who might give you advice, so all I can tell you is to follow your heart.
hey, its been 2 years later. i have made some good friends cuz i accepted myself. i came out to my sis last week and she's cool with it. but i still have a way to go so i can be surrounded with people who understand.
i was just looking back at my older posts and i really want to thank you for being a friend even though i dont know you. you just made me feel like i wasnt alone and alone i am not. thank you. i will wright again to you :)
Have you ever watched the movie Latter Days? Probably one of the best gay themed movies I've ever seen... even though it is sad at quite a few parts, it has a happy ending :)
I have watched Latter Days and I think it was a great movie, but was themed around the way the church treated its gay members back int he 70's and 80's. Now they acknowledge that Homosexuality isn't a choice, but the behaviors are and we can be held accountable for our behaviors.
morman & gay? stay strong man! check out my channel. im not morman, but uploaded a great show called: "anyone & everyone" that has a wonderful supportive (of their gay son) morman family.
Congrats man, good for you! Like you I didn't know or suspect til I was older, like 21. The signs were there at like 14 but who the hell wants to be gay in high school. I can't believe how fast you did all this though I'm nearly 23 and have still only told a handful of friends =\
I had a similar experience of not realizing I was gay until much later than most ( at about 18 or 19). I also had/have a deeply religious background and much more (what are traditionally thought of) as non-gay, more masculine mannerisms. Perhaps there's a connection. I don't know. I'm just glad to see someone else with a similar story.
First I'd like to apologize for the bad English and the probabale mistakes, I'm from Luxembourg, actually.
Well, I didn't get everything you said (most probably because of the bad sound) but I'm impressed about how confidently you've been dealing with your sexuality ever since you've found out. And I admire your courage to share with half the world, or the whole world actually, I'm from Luxembourg, remember :p
Either way, looking forward to seeing other clips from ya :)
Ok, so I know the sound sucks, It was late at night and then I added a soundtrack, I have learned my lesson, but unfortunately I cant change it now, so sorry. As for Gay and Mormon? yes it is true. You thought you had it hard during Prop 8, think how I felt, getting it left AND right lol. but oh well I know there are others like me out there and I hope to be able to help any who stand in need.
it's sad how Religion plays with people lives.The Sun moves across the sky,but actually it is the earth turning.For centuries,Religion took the easy way in & out.It saw the sun move & said that earth was the center of it all.Men & Women have sex & make babies.The Church then says "this is the purpose of sex".But humanity is more varied than this easy sperm+egg=baby as the "reason"4sex.It is the functional-aspect of procreation.But persons are not machines weAre beings who need to love & beLoved.

Yudanashi 1 year ago
@ando1135 "Being nearly legally adult and still in the closet, I feel like a twentysomething trick-or-treater: the mask is just too small and painful and unnecessary to keep up the charade. And why do I still don this silly, unwieldy, unconvincing disguise? To be rewarded with the cheap treats of approval and maintenance of the status quo, to have my head patted by the religious and familial trick-or-treatees in my life."

i hate how its so hard for us gay people to admit to the world for who we are. if people and religion was more tolerant of every people, it would make life so much better. I commend you for coming out. I only came out to a few friends and they were supportive, but i have yet to come out to my parents. Thats gonna be really hard because they have the old fashioned way of thinking and i feel like im going to be a disappointment to them, especially my mom; she always talks about wanting grand...

The first thing you need to do is recover from being Mormon. Find another religion if you feel you must have a religion. But exit from the Church. They hate you. They may say otherwise, but Prop 8 proves how much they hate you. I live in Salt Lake City. They hate us. Anyone who says or believes otherwise is full of it.

If anyone needs proof as to whether or not being gay is genetic, consider this: most gays, like Yudanashi, are intelligent, kind, and cute as a button. It must be all part of God's design!

@Yudanashi I am 17 and I am currently beginning the process of coming out..god it's hard. I think because i've supressed my true self for so long (3-4 years)it seems..strange. I'm still trying to work out whether to tell my friend or parents first and how they'll react. The more i confront my TRUE nature the more i seem to be almost scared. Right now i think i'm just worrying about everything that could happen :S Do you have any hints or suggestions that you think make the process a bit easier?
hpiercy19 6 months ago
@hpiercy19 A couple pieces of advice for you: 1st before you tell your parents make certain it won't harm your ability to get a good education. If they are going to pay for college and they will disown you if you tell them, then wait. While I have seen a few people gently prod their family into discussions about homosexuality prior to coming out, the best way to do it is to simply say "Mom, Dad, I need to tell you something. I'm gay and I love you enough to be honest with you about who I am."
Yudanashi 6 months ago
@hpiercy It will change things, but for the better. The best way is like a band-aid. Peel it off quickly and the sting will last for a bit but ultimately its better than dragging it out inch by inch.
Yudanashi 6 months ago
@Yudanashi Thanks so much. I don't think my parents will disown me but i really like your suggestion on starting the conversation. I think i'm just gonna get it off my chest as i am SO sick of having to hide a part of what defines ME. Once again, thankyou soooooo much! :)

@Yudanashi SHIT, that was extremely difficult. I don't think i've ever done anything so difficult. I sat them down at 9pm and told them how i felt about my sexuality, and that nothing would change it. I explained that the reason i was telling them was because REALLY, it isn't their problem, however i believe honesty needed to be exercised in order to strengthen our relationship as a family. I think they were disappointed but not shocked or openly angry either. I guess time will tell.

smettiuss 2 years ago
LOL, your eyes look fine. This is a really awesome video! I agree with you, it's really an outstanding feeling being able to tell other people you are gay and not keep it as a secret inside. I actually came out to my entire speech class during a speech. It left me with a feeling of "wow, did I just do that" but also its a real self-confidence booster. Plus when we live our lives openly, it shows other people its okay and normal to be gay. Thank you so much for contrubuting this to Youtube

actually I never admitted I had premarital sex, you extrapolated that from the Data but as your high school math teacher is sure to tell you next year when you is that extrapolations are useful, but not always accurate. Most men end up having sex before marriage btw. Plus up until a couple of years ago it was impossible for a gay man to have sex inside marriage
Yudanashi 2 years ago
I knew it, that most gay men are always ending up having sex before marriage.
NataliePorts 2 years ago
well I'm sorry getting a gay marriage isn't exactly as easy as getting a straight one. In 44 of the other states, there is no "post-marital" sex because many aren't allowed to get married.
crayzeeflyer130 2 years ago
well it depends on what you define as marriage.. If those men had it with the people they were gonna spend the rest of their life, then it could be considered marriage. Especially since marriage has existed for many years and most times had nothing to do with the government, being more social/spiritual, then "legal" marriage.

Who are you to say who is Mormon and who is not. Surely you're not god cos if you are you wont be such a hater.
And just because you are 'straight' does it give you the authority to accuse people and point out others mistake?
I guess someone has got big headed and forgot the teachings in the Gospel to have humility. You might want to give yourself a check first before taking the piss out on others.
I'd say you're the hypocrite here.

I have watched Latter Days and I think it was a great movie, but was themed around the way the church treated its gay members back int he 70's and 80's. Now they acknowledge that Homosexuality isn't a choice, but the behaviors are and we can be held accountable for our behaviors.

I had a similar experience of not realizing I was gay until much later than most ( at about 18 or 19). I also had/have a deeply religious background and much more (what are traditionally thought of) as non-gay, more masculine mannerisms. Perhaps there's a connection. I don't know. I'm just glad to see someone else with a similar story.

First I'd like to apologize for the bad English and the probabale mistakes, I'm from Luxembourg, actually.
Well, I didn't get everything you said (most probably because of the bad sound) but I'm impressed about how confidently you've been dealing with your sexuality ever since you've found out. And I admire your courage to share with half the world, or the whole world actually, I'm from Luxembourg, remember :p
Either way, looking forward to seeing other clips from ya :)
