COMING OUT STORY (GAY 004 - Part 3 of 4)

The story behind the series:

This is my coming out story that I would like to share with all of you here on youtube. I was surprised to find at the end of making this video, I captured 40 + mins of raw, heartfelt experiences that have led me to explain my coming out story. Unfortunately, this is just a snippet of a more elaborate story, but this will do for now.

My reasoning for sharing this? Well, when I came out in 2002/03, I never had anyone I could turn to or look to for advice. Being in a Catholic Pilipino family, I felt it was harder to decipher my thoughts and emotions. Because youtube is so international now, I feel that maybe my story can affect, touch, or help someone somewhere in the world. As I have been getting many feedback from several people, I believe this to be true.

Now this is a four part series that I will share with you all which will dive into what I have come to know as myself. Here I add a brief history in prior to coming out and leaving you all with tips on coming out. Hopefully my message comforts many and helps many along the way.

Enjoy and stay tuned for more of this series!

Love,
Joaquin

P.S If you have any questions or concerns, please message me and I'll try my best to get back to you. I do read EVERY comment, so feel free to leave some feedback.

i love all of your gay series.

i think that they need 2 freakin show this stuff on lyk cnn or sumthing. lol

not 2 show lyk your personal life and whatnot.

but to show ppl a different side of gays. the coming out part, the cruelty you go thru/went thru, just everything that comes along with being gay.
