Dude Love what you have done. I remember the feer i had when i came out, i wished i would of known you 12 years ago when i came out to my Mormon family. Its straight people like you who give us the strength to come out and live our lives. THANK YOU!!!!

[anniekate76]

Wow, what an amazing story behind card #4. Thank you!

[sarah20az]

I am a cardmaker/scrapbooker and I think this is so cute! I might make some cards like this.... good idea! You can take a look at my cards on here, if you would like:) I will try to post a video response when I am finished! I might sell them at the church craft sale, HaHa!

[GypsyGreetings]

David, I love your ideas. I also have been writing LGBT cards for years now. Finally, I will be launching them on a new site in August 2010. I have cards to a lesbian mom, from a mom to lesbain daughter/gay son, your gay brother serving our country and so many more...hundreds will launch and I would love to hear what you think of them.

Well done David, my coworker and friend Dani (you know which Dani, our mutual friend) referred me to your videos, this is the most heartwarming video I have watched on youtube in the last spate of 20,000. I'm serious about that. Well done.

[66Ganon]

WOW, your words on that last bit hit me straight home, I almost shed a tear.

[orangeappled]

I've always thought that straight people have their own "coming out" when they admit to themselves and to others that they're ok with people being gay. Thanks to you for your coming out.

[lunchboxboy]

you have so many gay friends!

[EPRVa62]

Incredibly moving! Thanks you so much! But really, any gay guy will tell you Ted Haggard is not seemingly straight. ;-)

[Socracea]

Just subscribed today after 'happening' on to your holiday atheist coming out card segment. This video touched me (and I am straight BTW). Love your approach to this Vlog!

[DieterT]

Found your link to this clip on a friends Facebook page. Just wanted to say: Good job, David! Keep up the heartfelt work!

[artandvictoria]

Thank you for being so supportive!! It is very important for us to have such nice and funny support!!!!!!

Your video made me want to cry...The fact that you got emotional over people like us, who many taunt, and ridicule and hate. It made me have hope for the future...Keep making the cards man, they were all wonderful...although it might be safer to use perez hilton, he's hated by everyone(because that's how he started his career), so it might not matter if you use his image on a card.

People fuck it up, but Jesus is all about loving gays.

[redneckcowboy7100]

@ThingsPoo hes the one that said gay is a sin exlax

[morebrewao]

Thank you. A great witness for people of many faiths, about many things that we might struggle with.

[joanlprice]

This is wonderful, especially your message at the end. Thank you.

[SSharer3]

Fantastic. I laughed and cried, all in five minutes. Then watched all your other episodes -- love love love. Keep up the great work.

[Bearfoot]

Beautiful story wiht that last card.

But I have to ask.. are there any cards out there for us bisexuals?

[wearbear]

Thanks for being such a great ally to my community.

[Piddyx]

You know, they are working on gene therapy to treat color blindness now.

[ninjagoldfishfilm]

Heartfelt and moving. Thank YOU.

[songstars]

Well done on so many levels. I can't wait to purchase these cards!

[revsusanrussell]

Bravo! Alleluia! Amen! Your witness is a powerful celebration of the love that Christianity is supposed to be about and and indictment of it has in too many places become!

[MrJammybrice]

Wow. Well done Dave. And I get it. The homophobic moments of youth are not uncommon and hopefully a person gets by them, all the more difficult with religious underpinnings.

[soundsbig]

Oh Dave Dickerson, you are the most spirit-filled atheist I've ever had the privilege to know. Thank you for being the inspiration that you are! Your witness is making me a better Christian.

[MadPriestOCICBW]

Brilliant!

And where can I get one of those ceramic bowl hats?

[joecab]

I loved all the cards but I wasn't expecting to be so mived by the explanation of that last one. You're awesome, Dave.

Also, I like the end shot that makes it look like you're wearing a bowl on your head: very Carmen Miranda.

Trying to remember when I decided to be straight. A much-discussed rite of passage, but going through it, it I didn't know where to turn.

Perhaps your next exercise should be creating a greeting card congratulating a young strapper on making that decision. You know, 11 or 14, the hormones kicked in, and I had to make that decision. "crap, do I like girls or boys?".

It was a difficult and intellectually demanding decision, like a bar mitzvah, but I decided to go with not being a pariah.

[leslielv08]

you are abs awesome!

[plumtreeblossom]

Thank you for your courage and your beautiful soul. This video makes this world a better place.
