Intro instrumental by Chuki Beats (CZcams: / chukimusic )
Video description for the visually impaired:
A woman sits on a bed with a white comforter on it and two dark green cushions behind her. She has shoulder length hair and wears a fuzzy pink polo shirt. During the intro music, a pink background screen with white animated stars plays with text overlay reading “Sufi & Anjali”, "But just Sufi this time" and “Coming Out Story”.
I hope that your mom is gonna read all these lovely comments people left under your video telling you how inspiring you are... you’re a role model to many and I hope that your family can accept you one day ❤️
I’m sure she just did this for all the internet attention. If you are really supporting LGBTQ, why are you being so selfish?
@@IanSager23 You must be mad.
@@IanSager23 hey don't be a jerk
i know I'm kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to stream newly released series online ?
@Julio London flixportal xD
you kept such a brave face on throughout this video! i was just crying throughout LOL i'm indian and came out a year ago and I'm experiencing the same things you did with your family. a lot of emotional blackmail, not acknowledging, not talking about it. the worst is my brother who gets physical but hes cancelled anyway and has been for a long time :)
I don’t know if you get this often but you look like a girl version of Zayn Malik and even have similar mannerisms from what I’ve seen in his interviews
Brenda Kamga haha thanks! i get that a lot :)
True. ❤
I see it tooooo!
Exactly
so trueehh 💯 yaaasss
Sufi talks as if you’re sitting right in front of her I was so engaged.😂❤️
Omgg yaaass
Exactly omgg
Hello
Çem Sultan Why don’t you leave that for God to decide?
@Muhammed Dharani What do you want with that information?
I respect you for sharing your story. I have a daughter who was scared to come out and i accepted her fully... what parents need to understand is that it doesn't matter what ur children sexually is... they are still the person you gave birth to and raised... i don't understand why ppl would turn their back on their kid for religious reasons or place views on them in a negative light.. if u choose to focus on other things then to love ur child then they are the ones with the problem.. believing in God is based on love not hate ..if u willingly to choose to turn your back on ur kids then you can't call urself a religion person at all.. i had to explain to my daughter i love u no matter what nothing would ever change that.. it just saddens me to here that some parents who scared to understand or ask questions and accept their kids for who they are just self centered and choose to hide behind their religious background. I would like to say im am a American and I stand behind all of LGBTQ community love u guys for telling ur truth
Jeannine johnson you are an amazing mom 💖
@@sufiandanjali4670 thank you for that i believe in my kids making their own decisions and to make sure they love themselves cause i kno how the real world could be judgmental...
Wow amazing. My mom literally said she would disown me if I was homosexual on the day I was about to tell her when she was watching a movie and a same sex couple appeared in it. I live with my parents my stepdad is homophobic as well he says they just need to pray and thinks it’s a choice. I don’t want to be homeless so I never pursue anything with anyone I’m bisexual btw but i like girls more it’s like a 70/30% ratio I hope I can move out by the time I’m 23 (I’m 19 now and I’m in college but I have to pay for everything so I couldn’t stay in a dorm because it was too expensive and I don’t want debt) :( I’m honestly so depressed but I’m trying to remain optimistic I’ve heard that there are a couple of gay people in my family but they are not talked about and not accepted either I don’t even know who they are I just heard whispers from time to time it sucks. I don’t get how my mom says she’s okay with gay people as long as it’s not her children and I hate it.
it is not that. In Islam - we all believe everyone gets tests from God (Allah). Whether it's in a form of poverty in that are you still thankful and don't give up hope or being rich and how you manage that money and if you flaunt it or are you humble. In losing loved ones from death, or fall - out relationships, or like debt . It's tests from God to each individual and how they manage and how their relationship with God is. In Islam- being gay is test from God also. We understand that being gay is a struggle and that you may want to act on your feelings and you want to express the world you are and not have to hide. But in Islam that in itself is a form of a test. It is okay to have feelings for the same gender- but it's forbidden to act upon it. It's just as the same for Muslim girls who may have a crush on a guy - but you can't go up and tell them and be like hey let's date and I like you. It is a test from God on how you deal with it and whether you fall into this short term happiness compared to when you go to paradise and it's an eternity. Yes- it's kinda true with culture people tend to hate on Gays and we don't at all!! Just cause we disagree with your decision doesn't mean we hate you and you guys don't deserve anything, etc. I respect your decision and admire you if you struggle with your feelings being gay and how you choose to not come out and act on it. Because it's a test. Anyways- some parents do get blinded by that and it's wrong that you shouldn't kick them out/ and try to understand their struggle. Instead they should tell them that it's okay but that don't act on it because Inshallah, Allah will reward a better gift of eternal happiness in paradise. And some parent's turn back on their children because the children themselves have gone the wrong path. They refuse to listen and are blinded by short lived happiness. Hopefully you understand though that not all Muslim Parents do this to children if they are gay. We are told that we should help them get back to the correct path and that it's a test and that to not act upon them. - This is coming from a Muslim teen girl who has a bi bestfriend and Ik a Muslim guy who really struggles with his identity and being gay but he knows that it's a test and that it's wrong to come out and showcase it to the world. It would be like the people of Lut.
smileforever all you are doing is suppressing someone that is not a test because being gay doesn’t harm them. Your friends should live there truth. There is nothing wrong with falling in love with someone of the same gender. It is not the same as you said if a girl has a crush on a guy but she can’t act on it because he is taken because that right there is just normal but for being gay imagine you like someone of the same gender and they like you but you can’t act on it because of society. Imagine you love your family deeply but someone says that’s a sin and you can never bond with them. Also when you are a homosexual you will never be sexually attracted to the opposite gender unless you are bi but there are bi people who like one gender wayyy more than the other. it’s not always 50/50 so if a homosexual person suppressed their feelings and tried to live a “straight” path they would never find true happiness and feel miserable, I think it’s a terrible thing to act like something you are not. Life would already seem like hell. I get where you are coming from but you are not a homosexual yourself so you will never truly understand. I myself have suppressed my feelings for the same sex ever since I recognized that I liked them and I know that I will never be happy with a man and I’ve come to terms of with who I really am, For YEARS I desperately cried and prayed and tried to feel attracted to men so that I can live a traditional life but that’s just not what my heart wants. It is never good to suppress your own happiness except if you’re like a serial killer/ criminal lol but I understand where you come from but please do not say it’s wrong and let your friends be themselves if you love them. If judgement ever does come then homosexuals will face it, it won’t concern you but I know for a fact that god would never turn down a good person because of who they love :) if he did I rather just go to hell then because I rather spend my time on earth with someone I love then always be depressed based off of a “god” that no one knows for certain exists. I hope you just let it go and let gay people be free because that’s all we want. Do not tell anyone to suppress there feelings please I beg of you. I truly see what you are trying to do but trust me that doesn’t work it will only lead to them hating themselves and becoming extremely depressed and ashamed.
I'm so sorry you were outed through those viral photos.
This video means so much to me, thank you for being vulnerable enough to share it with us.

I felt like I just watched the most relaxing video ever. Your voice is so soothing. Half of the things you been through I can just see the replay of myself when I went through it and it’s not over.
The most courageous and strongest person I've ever seen♥️
You’re helping so many people!! I’m so sorry you didn’t get the response or comfort that you deserved
As a desi heterosexual, I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to have nearly all your family scrutinize and condemn you for a natural part of your identity.
Really glad you've gained a solid following from fellow Desi queer friends and heterosexual allies (myself included), who respect/appreciate you for who you are.
Love from Pakistan
as someone from a indian family I just want to say how brave it is for you guys to be so vulnerable with us on here and how much you are helping so many people going through the same experience. love your channel and you guys!! ♡
Hey Sapna. Did u come out yet to your family?
@@annshii6771 Hey! I am straight. This comment was not because I relate but just to show support 🙂
I’m nepali and bisexual. Afraid to come out because my family will never accept me
Awesome Aashmaa 🤘don’t be afraid dear
Just come out to ur parents if they don't accept that that s their matter. But if they see u how happy u r they will except udr
Sneha John My family hasn’t had even one LGBT member till now I’m 17 now I’ve known I was bisexual since I was 12 but I have been keeping it with myself
@@aashma600 my family too have no lgbtq member . Even I tried coming out expect some of my cousins and my aunts who have accepted my sexuality . But my parents they don't believe coz until this day I had no relationship
@@aashma600 I am Nepali too and I can totally understand u aashma.
im straight and i just want to let all the lgbtq community knows that, love who you love and other people opinion dont matter cause its your life and you desserve to be happy.
Thank you
i respect the lgbtq community as humans as persons but i don't support them remember if ur mom and dad my mom and dad all the moms and dads in the world were not straight u would'nt be here i would'nt be here those lgbtq ppl would'nt be here so why supporting such a thing their sex life also isn't healthy.....i'm like so tired of understanding with which logic u guys think and i don't see it ur blind u don't see the truth like ughh it's not logical we were born to be STRAIGHT and if anyone does not feel like straight please seek for help and try to overcome it please
Hayat Ch don’t support them if you don’t want to but that is not good reasoning. There are many infertile women who can’t have kids so not all straight people have kids anyways. Also, many straight people do not want to have kids. That would never happen logically. Also, for the lgbtq people who want to have kids but don’t want to have biological ones, it’s not a bad thing because there are many orphans who need to be adopted that won’t be taken in by some people who want biological children, but a preference for biological kids isn’t as big of a thing in lgbtq couples so we can get more kids off the street, not that lgbtq couples are obligated to have kids, but if they choose to, ive seen that they are more likely to adopt than straight couples so it would helps kids in the long run. Also, there’s something called being a surrogate, so even if all the moms and dads in the world were lgbtq, which would logically never happen, science would still be a thing so we would learn that reproduction works by a sperm fertilizing an egg so people would know that and have children through surrogates and reproduction would still be possible.
But we are muslims
@@amaltaher2717 exactly. I'm straight, and I don't want children.
you’re so strong! we’re proud of you 🌸🌸
hugs from brazil!
Love how softly you talk, Sufi. Your spirituality is so palpable.
I think Sufi is just her name she was not a sufi mystic.
Strongest person I know ♥️
Everybody needs a friend like you Sarowar
❤️❤️❤️
Hey :) it’s Emmanuel from high school, I wanted to tell you that, you are a great person and it was always nice talking to you. I wish the best for you and your channel, keep up the great videos and helping people!
I have never seen a description for visually impaired people. That's so nice of you guys
It feels so relieving to know that there are other Muslims who go through this struggle and accepting yourself as a whole being a Muslim and accepting your sexuality which is a part of who you’re
You're never alone!
She’s so beautiful , i almost cried
Super strong you are sufi 🌹
Thank you for sharing your story. It’s so amazing that you are able to stay composed and strong throughout the whole thing - I was ugly crying all the way. Growing up Muslim and Southeast Asian, it’s so hard for me to accept who I really am and it’s taken a lot for me to get to where I am now. Wishing love for you and Anjali all the way!
Your coming out story speaks to me on so many levels. My parents still like to think I'm straight even though I've "come out" to them several times throughout the years. Thank you for sharing your story.
...gay is prohibited in Islam and quran...If anyone disagree with quran , then they are no muslim anymore..Desire is not haram in islam if u act upon it that is haram...then you are not muslim..U can have gay desire , If u act upon it ..then u are not muslim..It is a test from allah.allah destoried a city because they act upon their haram desire like gay both bible and quran
@@rushadmahmud1699 astaghfirullah you're not the One to declare such things about fellow humans.
@ggao001 I have had this issue with my evangelical family since they found out about me reverting to Islam 😅
I am a Muslim homosexual from Nigeria and my dad is completely against homosexuality, I am still learning to accept this part of myself but I hope I eventually have the courage to come out like you.
❤
I hope your desires won't act out
@@Mikaeel10 well they do, but I control and myself as much as i can. As I said, I'm just learning to accept this.
@@Mikaeel10 your desire to write this stupid reply is way worse
It must not have been easy to share all this, especially with the way you were thrust into media glare after you went viral on Twitter, but thanks for doing so regardless. Hope your family comes around and you find peace with your chosen family.
Esha Sood It wasn’t easy, thank you for acknowledging that 💞 - Sufi
As much as I love the fact that many coming out stories on CZcams are fairly accepting. I am so so glad that this video exists.
Because after watching this video I know that I'm truly not alone. Thank you Sufi. This video means so much to me as a South Asian Lesbian and many other members of the Desi LGBT community.

Iqra sending you so much love my friend :’)
Can we be that blatant? No matter how one may feel.. it is still Haram and will be.. how we can deny that..

@Pin Apple if we die and realise that there was truth to religion then that's it there is no going back. Your dead and can't undo all the wrong you did in life because you rejected faith.. so it's a big deal.
I yelled out, "Good for you!" when you mentioned your relationship to God ♡ You have a strong sense of self and I'm happy to see self-love when expressing yourself. Lovely! 🥰
you’re so brave and thank you i feel validated i needed this
I relate to this so much and I knew I would so I was scared to watch this video at first lol.
I want to talk to my conservative Bengali mom so badly even though our relationship isn’t the best. I have a range of different conversations with her, just hinting that I do not have any attraction to men. Sometimes they laugh when I say I’m not getting married, but other times they get so angry and tell me that this is not a “normal” thing. My parents have expressed disgust towards LGBT identities, so I haven’t been able to come out to them. Losing my family is one of my biggest fears but watching this video/ hearing your experience is so helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your personal, intimate experiences and thoughts.
Loss is probable but there’s just so much to gain when you accept yourself and identity. ❤️❤️
Thank you so much sufi I’m dealing same with my family and sharing your story helped me take few decisions and made me realise how community plays an important role thank you❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Thank you a million times for this video. I came out to my mom this summer and got completely shut down. You inspire me to keep going and be as headstrong as you are. So so much love from your hometown, the Bronx💛.
I really appreciate and admire that you talked about the other side of going viral. when the primary visible result is an outpouring of love (which is amazing), it is honest and brave to talk about how your extended family also became aware of your sexuality without your consent. I can only imagine how draining it's been to navigate that process, while still responding to your growing community on social media with love and patience. thank you for sharing your story, and I hope that every day becomes a little easier.
Your voice is so soothing and calming. I love it!
hey sending love from india ......ur giving us hope and we are so grateful
thank you sufi, i really needed this :’)
Wow . I'm so thankful you made this video. In regards to your relationship with your mum and the fact that you said you had to come out to your mum a few times and it was exhausting, I resonate so much with that! My mum and i have a very rocky relationship, if not, very non existent. I also moved out due to the pressures I was facing because on one end, we'd be having these heated arguments about my sexuality and thinking she'd understand finally, to then going back to the whole marriage talk and honestly, it was super in- validating like you say. I think people can sometimes forget how BRAVE it is to still go out and make your own life and your own family after the pain of accepting that your own blood have such conditional love for you. I mean, coming out on its own is incredibly brave, but to have gone through the pain that you did, you deserve all the happiness in this world, and I honestly believe God is giving you that gradually! Thanks so much for this! You're such a genuine and kind hearted person and I'm so glad that you learned to make your own life. Be proud sister!!🙏👏👏
So I guess Anjali will be doing the next one solo...?
I'm 17 and I'm having a hard time of finding what I want but I guess your video just gave me the courage of coming out and what I want so thank you so much Sufi!
I have so much respect for you. You are insanely brave. My immediate family is rather liberally oriented and even so it was fucking hard to come out to them. I cannot imagine how hard this must have been / still is for you. You rock 💓
Thank you for sticking to who you are and sharing your story!! 👏🏽👏🏽
Sufi you're a queen for real and a friggin strongest person. Ily!❤
I'm sure this was really difficult to share, glad you did though ❤
Thank you for being you and telling us about it!
You speak so clearly about such difficult things. You seem like a very strong person, I'm glad you have some support though.
YESS girl! You are so brave and so strong, and thank you for sharing. I know I can relate ❤️

this is just what i needed. thank you
I love it , I'm so here for it . The positivity and passionate feelings put into this video was so so heart warming ❤️
Im so glad that people get to be who they are and share their coming out stories
Hi, I’ve been following you both. I’ve watched your previous videos and the captions were working. But this video doesn’t have captions. I would love to know how you have come out. Can you please add captions? I bet there are many deaf individuals out there trying to brave our “coming out” in our community. It’s not easy! So, your story might have a better insight on how we can adapt to come out one way or other. I beg you, please, to add captions. Thanks, dear!
I’ve been waiting for long to see Muslims / Pocs posting coming out stories with rather bad outcomes just to assure me that even if they react badly, it’s still gonna be okay. It got to the point where I ended up uploading my own coming out video where I go on detail how horrible my family reacted but still try to point out that it gets better. You find your own family. Watching your video warmed my heart and I just hope that all of us will keep encouraging each other so that the next generation has it much easier ❤️ you‘re amazing and I’m proud of you ❤️
I’m desi, bi, and so afraid to come out because I know my family won’t accept me. Thank you for this, it helps to ease some tension about it.

Kudos to you for staying true to yourself! Such incredible courage!
these comments are doing a great job of giving the perfect impression of islam
I am in awe of you and your bravery. I definitely don’t have the support and courage to move out that you had, and I feel trapped. But hearing your story really helped me today ❤️
We love you both !!! You're source of strength for many out there who are dealing with challenges of all sorts..thank you for being you!
You are so brave, strong and inspiring for a lot of people around the world. Coming out is an everyday challenge because every new person we met, it's like a new coming out... But family is such a scary thing so congrats on every achievements you made. Lots of love from France
we're the same i'm also a muslim and sunni, but I don't have the courage the same as urs to come out. and the fact that i'm already 21 damn you don't know how hard it is. 😩
thank u so much for this. it means a lot to see someone like myself being so open and proud of who they are
Great going!
You guys are helping make the thoughts and mindset of the South Asian society more liberal!
Thanks!
Ok, you're amazing, thank you for sharing. ❤️
I really hope your mother will come around.
I can't even imagine not being close to my daughter, that would be awful. My love for her is unconditional. I have actually been preparing myself mentally the last years in case she chooses to come out. Which I kinda suspect she will, eventually...
You're so brave and strong Sufi, I'm a fan
Bravo, Sufi. I commend you on sharing your story. It's not easy to share these kind of stories. But, you are so brave for doing this. I wish you all the best!!!
You are such an inspirational reference for so many people going through the same unfair situation. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and opening your heart to us. Anjali and you are the cutest couple I have ever seen ❤ I wish you both all the best. I think anjali has been through some mental health issues in her life, it would be really helpful to share that too :)
this video :') is so important :') SO much love from KSA
I started thinking recently about telling my mom, we have a really good relationship, but even with that the idea that she'd understand or accept is kinda the craziest idea that I could have?? even though my mom is not all that close minded but STILL we're in the middle east here and there are bases that God knows how rooted they are in our brains
I m bisexual and I said it to my mom..but she doesn't supports me...she says that its a sickness and it would get recovered soon when I grow up and she says that I should get married with a man...but I don't think so that I m sick...😔😔 it feels very bad when your parents and family doesn't supports you and they always tease you😔😔😔😔it really feels very bad and I feel like the most lonely person in the world...😭

Sufi, I know many people hv said this but I feel I have to say it again. What you and anjali are doing by taking the time to post videos on CZcams is amazing. Don't ever doubt the magnitude of the impact you hv. These videos of yours are being watched by so many of us esp of Asian descent and it just resonates and we connect with you. There is a dearth of representation by gay South asians and it is just so comforting and inspiring to see the both of you owning yourselves. I live on the opposite end of the world so I may never hv the chance to meet you but know that you hv impacted my life in a way you could never comprehend. So thank you. Lots of love to you and anjali.
yall are so articulate and eloquent....good luck....
Thanks. This was amazing like its exactly what i needed it. I'm really thankful for this
I’m so happy seeing how positive the comment section❤️
I feel so happy to watch such videos because I have seen my friends struggling inside themselves hiding their identity.. more power to you girl ☺️💘
Thank you so much for doing this video ❤️
Wow, its mind blowing how this is helping me so much and I'm so glad i get to share this video with my girlfriend. Shes indian and shes scared to come out and i always tell her that I'm working towards everything for her to be able to feel free. I want us to be able to have a stable life for her to be able to come out and be with me, its pretty hard on her too and i know for a fact that things will get better and we just need to believe that Love always win no matter what kind of love.
Don't skip the ad for this guys .. please 🎈
I'm sobbing like a bi*tch. You guys are helping so many of us without even knowing. I've so much love for the both of you. PARENTS.
Thank you so much for doing this ❤️😘
Thank you for sharing this.
I wish and pray all your family members will understand this soon.
Much love ❤😘
I’m 16, an Indian Muslim, I came out to my Mom last month. she was pretty shocked at first , then she said that she loves me but I have to move out by 20..she’ll provide me with money to get a start , but after that she doesn’t want me to be in connection with the family.. so I’m pretty fucked up.😑
I'm sorry that happened to u but at least she will still be connected to u. Don't worry u are amazing and people who don't accept u for who u are don't deserve u. Just live ur life and be happy ❤️
I'm 17, Indian, and this year I came out to my parents, I came out because I wanted to live my life the way I want, by being myself and I could not pretend to like men anymore, it was exhausting, so when I came out they were pretty chill about it, but I guess that would not be the cause for other people are in the lgbtqa+ community, so what I have to say is that, get a good education, follow your passion, invest your time doing what you find best for you, it might take a long while to figure it out but once you start earning money, you can then live in your own house, where you can live your life with your partner ❤️❤️❤️
Hey what do you do for your survival?
Love you, Sufi. Always look forward to your content whatever it is. Keep doing you 💙
You were so eloquent through this whole video, and I so love your positivity❤️ You're amazing!
Thanks for sharing Sufi, this means a lot to many. Its really good to be yourself
I'm 17, Pakistani (living in Pakistan) , Muslim and I like girls. I'm afraid of my parents ever finding out cause I don't know if they'd ever accept me. I came out to my siblings when I was 13 and one of them wasn't very supportive but she thankfully came around and is my biggest supporter. although I'm still in the closet, hearing stories like this, especially this, makes me feel so incredibly happy cause it makes me feel so accepted?? and not alone?? thank you so much for this :)) I'm so glad you found your happiness
Sending u love and i hope u will remain safe
Don't be a sinner you can't be gay and a Muslim
@@saniaarain5156 omg youre so right, i can just feel the gayness leaving my body WOW😮😮 thank you, you really saved my life😭😭
Allah (SWT) has made the perfect creation for worshipping Him. Humans, by nature are flawed, experience desires, and make mistakes. Being LGBT, and feeling an attraction to the same gender is a test that the person is being put through. To resist the humanly desires, and instead, choose the path of righteousness is a very noble deed. By the way, in Islam, one is allowed to feel attraction to the same gender. Desires are a natural human trait. But to act on these desires is haram. One must marry the opposite gender or remain single if it is not possible to do this. Allah (SWT) knows your struggle, and you are rewarded immensely for resilience. To follow the path to Allah (SWT) is the only way to make it to heaven in the afterlife.

"community is so important." amen
This video was lovely to watch and you are amazing and you are proud and both your love and your voice speak so clear and so loud,
Edit: I hope that one day your mum will find out just how amazing you are and love you unconditionally, accept you for the wonderful human being that you are.
I identify with your story so much. It actually made me cry ❤️
The courage you showed while filming this coming out video is huge. You have inspired million of us who openly want to cherish and live their live with their authentic identity. Thankyouu ❤❤✨
Sufi, your soul is unbelievably beautiful. I can't even imagine what going through your experience would be like, yet the fact that you so openly spread your light and your story just to possibly help so many others means so much to so many people, including me. Thank you. You truly embody what it means to be a Sufi.
Srijana Smith oh gosh 🥺 this comment made me cry
Yes narcissism
So much love for you.
Yess💯
Shame on you
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, when I first saw a video on this channel I really wanted to see how your parents reacted considering how desi people view lgbt, and now my prayers have been answered ❤️❤️
Sufi you really just spoke your heart out and it really really touched me, lots and lots of love from India!! Always keep the good spirits up! Love you both!
thank you so much for this. im currently a 15 year old muslim living in a homophobic household and I've only come out as a lesbian to my online friends + few of my irls. im so scared of my family finding out about my sexuality... even if i blocked them through social media- this video really comforted me and i wish to find myself in peace soon while loving girls, like moving abroad when i start college. i seriously am trying to be a good muslim like praying 5 times a day or read the quran despite my sexuality ;; so this video really made me feel happy, again, thank you so much!
im in the same situation im a fifteen non-binary bisexual living in a homophobic household and country and i feel like ill never come out of fear of loosing my family and i want to tell you that i support you and accept you, you matter you will be happy you will live a free life don’t listen to the hateful comments you have my upmost respect and support !
