I'm only 16 and I have the same problem. My brother, who's 26, came out when he was 15. My dad hates it, and he denies it as much as he can. He's obviously against being gay, and he thinks it's a choice. If I were to come out, he'd think I was a completely different person. When I had my first girlfriend (a few years ago when I was still very confused) he told me, "I'm glad to see your straight unlike your brother because he's having a bad life." I don't know how to come out to him :/
i am stright ,but after i heard this story ,i knew how you hard on that.
cheer up ,Man! maybe it's hard thing especially when your brother is also gay.
you always think about how painful your parents.but you were born because you live your life.this is maybe heard little bit selfish to your parents but in your life,you are the most important one.
@austenwack I'm a rather religious guy also at the age of 18, and a total weirdo to boot :D, so yeaah, I can see and feel for that very personal figuring-out-about-yourself-and-your-morals era there.
@kalacs32 Yeah I agree with that also. Life is just an exploration in general that teaches you as much as you will let it along the way. At least in my opinion. I just always felt like keeping, "myself" to "myself" really helped me figure a lot of my own morals and beliefs when I was about 16 that are still true to this day now that I'm 19. :) So who knows! But yeah... I do agree with you, it goes both ways.
@austenwack Actually coming out itself is a great way of exploration of self too, because you get to know hella lot about how different people who have known you at different depths had thought about you. And that tells a lot about the difference between how you think you were acting and what could actually be seen, lol.
I've known I was gay since like 1st grade, now I'm 13 and I just came out a few weeks ago, not everybody knows yet, but, most people already guessed it. I'm gay and finally happy, for those of you who r not out, come out, it's definitely NOT healthy mentally to not be yourself, love yourself, hopefully those in your life will understand, but if they don't, then it's their loss, being out is great! I love being gay and I love the gay community, and all of you! Good luck!
Well I would like to say that your videos have given me so much hope and helped me get my priorities straight and things into perspective, your points of view are so spot on with how I feel, you are a superb speaker and I admire your ability to ignore hate...this is basically a BIG thank you for posting videos and serving as an awesome role model (:
