My Coming Out Story.

[WillLOVESYELLOW]

I just came out to my family, this past week. I am so sorry your father does not accept you. *Hugs*

[azimelserpentine]

I knew behind all that sass was a guy just like me who is fabulous but has a heart of gold...I can't ever tell anyone cause being who I am is equal to murdering my own family...so I'll just live in the closet but good for you =)..my mum said she would commit suicide if I was anything other than straight...so yeah..it's hard but I know I'll survive =) thanks nik <3

[nikdynamic]

@azimelserpentine Even if you don’t have support from your family, you certainly have support from people in this online community who love and accept you for who you are :) Stay strong, and most importantly remember to keep loving yourself <3

[azimelserpentine]

@nikdynamic

I actually was identifying myself as bisexual...but now I think I'm gay....I'm disintegrating...

[videocrack246]

oh, yes....tremendously shocking to hear about your family situation, but you can thank God, you can thank livfe for giving you friends.....you will always find someone who will accept, love you and will see just how enormously valuable you are even though (not despite) you're gay.....Not to mention of course the heaps, and heaps of support you will find on Internet...there's a world out there who think like yourself and will never judge for being gay, but the complete opposite. Love Yourself.

[azimelserpentine]

@videocrack246

I will...thank you for that <3 but I used to identify as bisexual...but now I think that I actually am gay....

[theFlowerPrince343]

im a christian and i think, even if gay WAS a sin, why should we judge it so hard when we all sin?

[penguin030593]

This is your best video. And I appreciate that you waited to make this video until you were out to your whole family. Keep making videos to help us, your subscribers. <3

[es4331]

I hope your dad wises up one day- the sooner the better. Religion is no excuse for homophobia or even disapproval. It makes no more sense than to disapprove of a kid because he/she is left-handed.

[GangGreenBball]

I'm a straight female, and my family is an old Italian catholic, church-every-Sunday-without fail, conservative family. The only part of my religion that I don't fully understand or agree with is their views on gays and gay marriage :/

[DYYLLAAANNNCORRRAAAO]

you are soo cute and I am so glad you came out! you are very strong <3

[1malldoc1]

Thanks for sharing. I am a gay dad and my sons are not supportive. They are 33 and 35 :(

[UnperfectStorm16]

NIK! <3 =)

[jfdesiderio]

It's great that you shared this, Nik. =] Also, it's sad that your father can't come around. I can imagine what that feels like. Be strong young man! ♥

[carameltemptation91]

i know how you feel I've been trying 2 years to my mother accepts me as I am, but this is life i will keep trying until she accepts me. i know she love me but any way im prou of you take care I send you a hug and a kiss kk love ya a friend from puerto rico !!! <3

[gregvstheuniverse]

Very touching - thank you for sharing this sir.

[whbjoe]

great story nik, ive been following you ever since your first youtube account and your first coming out video and even now you continue to be a strong person. but at least now you have come out to your father, now its not weighing your shoulders down, much luck Nik, much love. :)

[rainbowlogan]

you always brighten my day

[WWEQAF]

Nik, you are a sassy, but classy, inspiration to us all.

[baiyuntao]

you're so amazing. i wish you the besttttttttt

[Davidoutt]

Awe it's nice :) To be honest I feel the same, doing youtube videos makes you want to come out, and makes you accept yourself :)

[NomadicJAG]

thanks for sharing. best of luck.

[tjse1245]

Don't ever give up Nick!! Who am I gonna stalk if u do D: LOL but seriously I, no, we will support you no matter what and I think it's rly brave of you to do so :) Love u!! Keep going :D!!

[QueerIsHere]

oh my god nicki! i love u 2 u have been my inspiration 4 making videos!

[mikeymoodle]

Hey Nik! So nice to hear your coming out story :)

I always love hearing youtubers' coming out stories.

Congrats on talking with your dad about it.

much love x

[slanelcla]

I would like you to knw, as a person from the same religious background, you might be surprised one day. Truely surprised!

[JamesMitchellTV]

Your hair looks amazing! :)

Thanks for sharing Nik <3

Catholic Ireland and it's ridiculousness has taken my parents and put them into the same set of mind as your dad. I know how you feel in a way.

You're an amazing person, and I'm really happy to say that I know you :D x

[ryancalarts]

The one person that disliked this was his father. grrr....

[123moscowman]

Thanx for sharing :)

[HahnJames]

I forgot... Look around for a book called, "Holy Homosexuals." I can't remember the name of the author at the moment. He's the Director of the Cathedral of Hope in Austin, TX. You should be able to find it cheap online. This book dispels the myths, superstitions and lies that the conservative Christian right has woven around the Biblical passages that they constantly hit gays over the head with. Read it yourself then, give it to your dad and ask him to at least read the first 3 chapters.

[HahnJames]

This was an awesome video. One thing your dad should try to realize is that the son he loved three weeks ago is the same son he has now. Extremely little has changed about you. The only difference is that he now has this knowledge about you. Any change in your relationship will come from him.

One really basic question should come to him as a Christian, "Would I condemn my son to hell for being gay?" Hopefully, the answer is "No!" If it is, then how could he expect God to be more judgmental?

[ChrisEdwardsTV]

today is the day i came out 1 year ago... isnt that scary

[tjport1980]

Great coming out video Nik. I can relate to the part of your father. My family is Homophobic.

[djbryce]

Just give your Dad some time and space...continue to be yourself. He will eventually realize that you-are-still-you. It's just as hard for him as it is for you. Odds are, he already knew...now it's just trying to accept and adjust. It gets better...

[BornToBeTame]

good to hear that at least your dad is not disowning you or cutting off support for college (if in fact he is paying some of your expenses). because some parents, now more than 40 years after the start of the gay rights movement, are still doing those kinds of things to their gay children, and much worse.

great video as always.

[cameroniswicked]

My father is pretty unsupportive as well so I feel you Nik. I understand what you're going through because I've been going through it for almost year now. I really don't think that I'll be able to share this prominent part of my life with my father. And it sucks.

[redkedpaige]

Truly inspiring, I hope you know how much good you're doing simply by sharing your story (:

[markmywords09]

You and I are in the same boat! We're both very lucky to only have to do deal with our dad's being unsupportive and no one else.

[dollkay081]

It's great to know that someone awesome lives in the same state as me xD

[cjonm]

Great Video Nik.

[CyrusFun]

hahahaha you have pics of chicks in shorts and boobs behind you :D:D:D:D<3

and I like the color of your lips and your tanned skin BTW <3

[CMaddoxBiitch]

I know he's your dad, but you can't allow what other people think about you affect your reality. You can't change who you are and either people can love you for who you are or not. Love yourself and you'll be fine xoxo

[dol674]

I like your feisty side, but your serious tone is awesome too. The underlying music was tad predictable for you.

[Whiteboymdew]

I might have to make a new coming out video. I feel like I am in the same boat as you are :)

[SAMsite5000]

I'm from TN to and you're videos are HILARIOUS and I love you<3

[LoveThemMusic]

:)

[Tickerage]

I think that you should just cherish your mom. You live with her and that alone should make you so very thankful. If your dad doesn't accept you then it is his loss. The fact that you have one accepting parent and she is really the only one you have to have contact with is the most important thing. Don't feel guilty about cutting your dad out of your life. It is really up to him to accept you as you are.

[musicismylove92]

Good for you Nik. I know it's hard with your dad, but you have the right attitude. In the long run, it's only for the better that you've shared your feelings with him. Best of luck, and lots of love <3

[raybear439]

Oh, Nik, thanks for the update. Those of us who followed you last week were feeling anxious about the situation and we're glad it turned out OK. You are now asking your Dad to change his entire belief system and I'm sure that his love for you makes that conflict all the more difficult for him. Give him time. You can only control you, but don't give up on him.

[CoreyAllenKimball]

I've been reading and watching all the material you've posted on YouTube and Twitter. They keep making me cry! I sort of imagined myself saying all of that in the future while watching you... I don't want to be the guy who says he'll come around, etc.... So, I won't say that. As you said your dad doesn't understand, and probably won't. I know I'm going to be in that place too. You keep being yourself, and stay being my inspiration. Okay? :) Good luck.

[MMBNWINNER]

Thank you for this Nik. I'm glad you realize how lucky you are to have at least some support from your family. My parents threw me out about a month ago for it. I'm so happy to hear you are being yourself and no one can touch you. Whether you're in drag or an F.A.B., I support you and look up to you strongly. Thank you for making videos.

[thekcski]

Aw! Thanks for making this video! It is videos like this and youtubers such as yourself who help so many people become comfortable with who they are! Including me :)

[seximexi2012]

U are one Fierce ass betch. :)

[HotMissa]

You and I discussed this on twitter, but you know that I'm always here to talk. I'm glad you were finally able to come out to your dad and maybe with time...his love for you will help him to accept the whole you. Love ya kiddo. Stay sweet <3

[choro1981]

I'm sorry to hear that your Dad thinks the way he does,you are so cool and I'm glad that you do have some support from people who LOVE YOU,and we are always here for you Nik. Peace

[rramosbaez]

It'll take him some time, but in the end he loves you. He just needs to take time to let it sink in and open his eyes.

[rramosbaez]

Congrats on doing that *hugs*

[Enarab1]

Congrats on finally coming out to your dad. I remember you talking about trying to come out to him through phone on blogtv, so it's great that at least you finally TOLD him. It's great that you're comfortable with yourself.

[allthesameasyou193]

Hey from Tennessee! Your videos helped me more than you'll ever know, so I just wanted you to know that :). I admire your confidence and try to have the same attitude in my life. Stay awesome!

[nikdynamic]

@allthesameasyou193 It makes me SO glad to hear that :) Thank you!

[SAMsite5000]

@allthesameasyou193 From TN too! Blah



[nlytle]

If I could make a suggestion: just give him some time to adjust. If my mother's side of the family -- all of whom are southern Baptists -- can accept and love my better half, than your father may well eventually accept it.

[giovanniimperiale]

<3 always keep it classy, love you nik, thanks for sharing :D

[ab0kanal]

Thanks for sharing this, Nik. It's one of the most interesting coming out stories, because you always appeared to me as one of the most confident gay YouTubers. So it was very interesting to know some details of your background. YouTubers like you are very valuable role models. I'm quite sure that by your videos you are helping young gay guys, who are insecure yet. So your videos are entertainig and they are important!

[nikdynamic]

@ab0kanal Thank you very much :)

[xxxthisdaynagexxx]

I completely understand. I came out last year, but it's reverse for me. It's my Mom who isn't fully supportive at all. But what you said is very true: you are who you are. You have to remain true to yourself, and be strong. Love your vlogs, just thought I'd leave a comment, letting you know. :)

[shep689]

youtube has helped me a lot too. good for you Nik.

[zazu1b]

Much ♥! An im always keeping it classy! 

[3535358]

Big hug to you Nik from Canada...much love and respect...live the life you were born to live.

[TenderCharles]

YAY!!! <3
