Hi! So, while I have had a very positive time coming out recently I just want to say how inspiring your video was to me. While, I'm not an athlete and I'm not your typical gay individual, I am 22 (now going into my senior year in college) and I was scared to be myself, but your video really helped me to do that. I plan on being a music educator, and that is yet another reason why ur video meant so much to me. Thanks for everything and for the confidence to be myself!

@camalam89 Thanks for your really nice comment! I'm glad our video was able to reach you. Good luck with senior year, and that's great that you want to be a teacher!

What sport did you play in college?

[jgoldwarg]

@evjcc I (Jordan) was a cross-country skier and Sam rowed. Do you play a sport?

You guys are so adorable! Thanks for contributing to this video project. I'm a gay guy, 67 years old. Met my partner in 1973 would you believe. We got married in CA in 2008 before Prop 8 became law. So we are 2 yrs. married; 37 yrs. together! It DOES get better! Great video, and wonderful Jordan that you can make such a positive impression on your students.

@jonathanUtah1 Dear Jonathan, why don't you go punch your wall or something and please stop insulting good people trying to help. To you two: I loved the video! You seem very happy together, can't wait to get out of highschool and find a girl some day: )

speaking of gay teachers- hope you have seen tom hanks when he talks about his gay teacher when he won oscar best actor - it one of the most emotional speeches I've ever heard- its on youtube- it will leave you in tears, but only because its was such a beautiful moment

I listened to your video. You (Jordan) are gay and a high school teacher. How does this work? Our small community pushes people out that might be or are gay. How did your school system deal with this?

Dammit kiss! That's what I screamed out at the end of the video. You guys are so cute together.

Ciao Bello!

Though of coarse I'm grateful to "Sam and Jordan" for initially making this video contribution to a project and "Campaign" that is so dear to my heart! My real gratitude is to you "jgoldward", my "Canadian Amico Mio" for uploading this! You've made Bobby Griffiths' (Prayers for Bobby) old lover/boyfriend "Blaine" here, both grateful for and very proud of you!

Con L'Amore e Molti Baci! (With Love And Many Kisses)

Il Tuo Amico Per Sempre! (Your Friend Always)
