  • Do u still go 2 church?

  • @1997pokerface Yeah, I still go to church.

  • Thank you for sharing your story, I can only imagine what it's like to come out to your parents, let alone share it with the world :) I am the 'product' of a Christian family, and only recently came out to my friends. I have not yet found my own sufficient inner strength to tell my parents, as I've heard them say those hard words "love the person, not their lifestyle" all too often. Keep your chin up, and love who you are :)

  • @alisharose28 When or if you do you come out to your parents, it will be one tough road. It's been 3 years now and nothing has really changed. Everyone's family is different, but you just gotta prepare yourself and be strong. I honestly love being out and proud and not caring what anyone thinks.

  • With time, it's probably going to get less awkward. Try to be patient with them.

  • I like your shirt and also that thing on 5:43 onwards is so cute! XD

    And the statement "loving you but not your lifestyle or you being gay" is so cliche. My Chrisitan friends told me that and I was fine. But I can tell you my sexuality doesn't make me less of Christian than them. Because sexuality is just part of who I am, it does not define me as a person, if you know what I mean.

    I really admire you courage! Stay true, be you. =)

  • i am a Christian and gay its tough , but God knows me and loves me 4 me so tht helps xxx

  • v cute well done xxxx

    

  • ive heard people pull the "you just admire them" things and im always like ya theres a diffrence between admiring a guys abs and wanting to lick them im the last one lol

  • @kakairuislove My dad brings it up all the time...can you say "awkward."

  • @nickifyTHIS your a better person than i am i dont talk to my dad after he started that lol dude when things get awkward just pretend your somewhere else lolz

  • i was forced to come out. my parents are christian too. i dont like talking about it. i tell myyself that if i just dont do anything "lesbian-like" or say anything about it,, that theyll forget. its been an awkward life since then. my parents dont accept me

  • @jonsgirly123 It feels like you're being held down and aren't free to just express yourself, doesn't it? That is why I can not wait to move out! Once I do, nothing is going to prevent me for being myself 100%

  • It's great you got out it out to them. I'm sure this video helps a lot of asian and christian kids whoa are in your shoes. Your very brave. Badass shirt~~

  • I'm a Bisexual woman, My Dad is an Atheist and my mom is Agnostic.

    I remember how I was feeling just before I told them, I was so nervous I thought I was going to be sick, I was fidgeting all over the place. I just sort of blurted out 'I like boys and girls' and waited for their reaction (probably not the best way).

    It was quiet for a few seconds, and then my mom just said 'As long as no one makes you do what you don't want to' and that was it, we started watching TV.

  • If I get at least 100 likes on this comment, I will read you the exact same words that I wrote to my parents from when I came out to them!

  • exact same situation

  • your so sexy!!!

  • @bugbug0402 Hay bug bug here's what u should do call your dad abe tell him you have something to say to him and that he promises he'll still love you tell him if the response is positive say thank-you if negative say your sorry to disappoint you

  • I feel so bad for this kid I would f*ck him

  • @elijahwalden12 excuse me?

  • @nickifyTHIS i think he wants to bang.

  • Can someone help me tell my parents. I really want to but I'm afraid of their reaction.

  • @bugbug0402 All parents act differently. Your parents might take it good or bad but either way there is never really a good time to tell them. The only thing you should make sure of before you do is that you are fully ready to do so. It is mostly hard for everyone to come out to their parents but it will be a huge load off either way. Anyways, you have my encouragement whatever you decide to do about it.  Good luck.

  • You are not going to hell for being gay God loves you for who you are no matter what as long as you do what his word says

  • I LOVE YOUR SHIRT. OMG. I think you should buy me one, too.

  • My parents are religious (not super though) and I'm not. Needless to say, they take issues with both my atheism and gayness. They say that "we love you" and all that, but when they get angry, they lose control and let me know their real feelings; which include heavy use of the word "fag". Kinda confused on what to feel, do I believe they love me, or accept that it's a facade and accept that they don't care for me?

  • @MutjinNinja I'm sure that they care about you. When it all comes down when things get rough, just love yourself for who you are. Don't let ANYONE put you down for what makes you as an individual. Just stay strong, don't focus on the negatives, and be yourself! :)

  • @MutjinNinja the things that ppl say when they're angry are their true feelings that they try to suppress. nonetheless they're what they really think of you .

  • @MutjinNinja they love you. but it's difficult for them to reconcile that love with what they believe are fundamental moral rights and wrongs of the universe. parents in history have turned their own children in for crimes they've committed. Your job now is to do your best at convincing them that being gay isn't a moral issue, but if they are Christian, there is no way around that whatsoever. I mean it's a religion that says a child telling a lie is enough for eternal damnation.

  • Hey Nick. Thanks for sharing. My parents are very religious also, but I was lucky that they came around quickly. Good luck. :)

  • you were using myspace in 2009? wow

  • @curlyboy73 uhhh yeah, that was the thing back then while facebook was gaining momentum lol

  • I feel for you and I feel for your parents. I am a Christian and when my son told us he was gay, it seemed to be more difficult for me to accept. I did tell him that I loved him and if I hurt him in any way, I asked him to forgive me. I think what has been hard for me is trying to reconcile what is said in the Bible and what my son tells me. I came to the conclusion, I don't have all the answers; all God would have me to do is love my son, as always.Our home (and hearts) will always be open.

  • @bgentlekind I hope this helps you realize the bible isn't the word of god.

  • No.

    

  • hey...i'm asian and gay and my name is nick too! except i havent told anyone

  • I truly loved this story, and I really want a part 2 with more details :) I don't know if I have the same problem.. More like... I'm not sure about what I am. I asked my mom once "What would you do if I told you I were a lesbian?" and she looked at me slightly disgusted and responded; "I don't even want to think about it." ...

  • awww. i wish things turned out better for you. :( i wanted to give you a HUGE hug after i watched this.

  • u know what im saying lol love that part(: love this video

  • @TheJaspercrawford hehe, thanks :)

  • Oh! And, you may want to look up a video called "for the parents" by couger87, thanks! The video will explain my reason to watch it, if the title isn't obvious enough lol

  • I'm gay and Christian(: it's very hard but you must stay strong and don't give up your faith!!!

  • @lovegaga4ever98 Thats impossible. The God you believe in considers you an abomination and he commands people to stone you to death. His book is very clear about that. Personally, i dont believe in any of it. But if you do... then you seriously need to read the bible lol. Some Christians are pure nutjobs, like say, the KKK or Westboro Baptist Church. And many others follow the scripture word for word. its best to steer clear of that crowd.

  • @JabberCT they Are nutjobs, but at least they take it word for word... I mean, otherwise you would just be cherrypicking.

  • Comment removed

  • lmao...your parents are hella funny...especially how u said that they don't hate the you but what you do(being gay)...lol..my family just lik that too...but all good...big props to ya! especially in a christian fambam..worddd

  • I'm both Christian and lez :), my mom doesn't agree but is letting me b me, God loves you, he hates NOONE, God is a God of love, and gays are noone but someone that is LOVING another ;) good luck

  • So cute...

  • my parents are super christian homophobes, and I love gay people, and I'm a lesbian, but I dunno how to tell my parents, I'm afraid they might dis-own me or something... :'( my parents are so stupid, they cant accept me!! I probably won't be able to tell them...

  • Listen up kid, don't sweat it. I am 64 now, but even when I was 35 yrs old my Christian mother still pushed the issue, "Get married and have at least one child," she said. They may never understand, but you are the one who has to understand yourself.

    Likely you won't find the right Asian Christian girl of their dreams like I did not find the right 'colored' Christian girl of my parents choosing.

    So you like PECS huh? I am a muscle man booty lover LOL

    You need to be yourself!

  • I like your shirt.Where can I get one?

  • FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFAG

  • OH MY GOD, you must tell me where you got your shirttt!!

  • I don't really see a reason to come out. I'll live in another country than my parents anyway. Awesome :).

  • @pizzaboy031 this is my theory also, but I know it won't work...

  • @stefanmmclean inbox

  • Ahhhhhhhhh you cute little fuck! <3

  • Gay Android shirt = awesome!

  • sorry to hear ur having a tough time. It's often much harder for asian parents to deal with this, due to cultural / religious influences. i hope in time they will come around, when they learn your still the wonderful son they always knew & loved, except for who you love. they are grieving the loss of the old image they have of you, give em time to adjust. sooner or later they will realize they may lose you, most parents cant bear that, so they accept you for who you are.

    stay strong & proud!

  • @sleekcartim

    Try any conservative religious culture. I know east Asians. Arabs, Germans, Russians, Mexicans, Africans etc and all have similar issues of homophobia with their own culture. Ever hear of 'honor killing' from the middle easterners or how about the murders in Jamaica and Uganda and lets not forget what Hitler did in Germany to Gays

    BE CAREFUL

  • "I WANT THEM!!" *air hump.

    now THAT made me laugh. but good luck with your parents, mine are like that too.

  • It's good to know theres other people who dont have perfect coming out stories. I came out to my christian parents, and it was basically a disaster. But my situation now is basically the same asyours, they dont think I'm actually gay and it's very awkward:/

  • You are seriously brave! I will say more, in my private message, because I have so much to say.

  • Seriously GAY! I love it

  • @nickifyTHIS

    Ciao Bello!

    Nick "Amico Mio" ! I just wanted to tell you that Bobby Griffiths' (Prayers for Bobby) old lover/boyfriend "Blaine" here, is so incredibly proud of you, as both a young, affirming "out" man, and also as an "Asian" American as well! Do yourself a favor and do a "Wiki" of first Century BCE Chinese Emperor Ai (Han Dynasty) and his "Cut Sleeve Boy" ! He along with at least 14 succeeding Chinese Emperors were known to enjoy sexual relations with male "Favorites"!

    Blaine

  • @blainebill39 Seriously? But the Chinese (and Asians in general) are so uptight about homosexuality in general now! (I'm a Chinese-American gay rights activist, I should know!) However, there are exceptions in the form of Japanese Yaoi Fangirls/Yuri Fanboys (those who like reading gay/lesbian romance).

  • @NaomiLawlietJr

    Ciao Bello!

    Yes my friend , often the first and second generation immigrants to our country are influenced by the "Errant Christianist" thinking that dominated our society! But people all over Asia have acknowledged same sex relations for thousands of years, and for the most part without slander or demonization! Why even many "Afghans" talk of the cultural phenomenon of the "Baci Bazi", the "Taliban" not withstanding, has failed to eradicate this form of sexual slavery!

    Blaine

  • @NaomiLawlietJr

    Ciao Bello!

    Before the advent of "Christian Orthodoxy", the "West" too had a rich history of honoring same sex relations! Look up Alexanders the Greats' victory at Chaeronea in 338 BCE, where he decimated the legendary "Sacred Band of Thebes" a once invincibly cohesive army comprising of 150 pairs of male lovers! On being told this, Alexander was said by "Plutarch" to have wept! It's well documented!

    Blaine

  • @blainebill39 I remember the "Sacred Band of Thebes!!!" I thought that was really interesting. They thought that if the men slept together, they'd be better motivated to protect each other. And yes, it is quite well documented-even my AP world textbook had it!

  • AH I LOVE THAT SHIRT!

  • proud of you

  • good story....looking for a guy friend??? hehe

  • @dragonboy718 lol new friends are always good, why not :)

  • good job, you look stoned lol (red eyes)

  • Faggot

  • @FuckdasketsHOPassass The word faggot means a bundle of sticks.....why would you call someone a bundle of sticks? I laugh at you straight peeps for calling us a bundle of sticks!

  • I'm bisexual and it is killing me on the inside to even mention it to my family. (I'm an adult now, and live 16 hours away from my parents and never have to deal with them in real life...but there is still so much emotional pain.)...they would freak...and I only feel backed-up by stories such as yours. -- I want to come out to at least my brother...but I feel like I have to wait for my parents to die.

    I am so glad you have wonderful friends who support you as you are though.

  • oh and my dad also thinks its a phase haha... yup. thats all! I <3 U! i wanna be your friend in real life.... you seem like an awesome person to hang around with! :)
