Coming out is a big moment. You're letting someone else into a part of your life that few have tread-a secret that you might have carried a long time. Some of you may have lied, pretended to be something you're not. Others may simply have kept silent. If you're lucky, you have an incredible support system built in, made up of people who love you regardless. Today on WellCast, we're talking about that life-changing moment of telling someone that you're gay. We'll help you prepare for that moment, whenever you decide to take it, and give you some resources to turn to, should you need them.

It's strange isn't it?
Bending-Fighters Minecraft CZcams Channel 10
my friend, said that she doesn't care what Race people are, what their a fan of, or what your sexual preference is, that she just hates everyone no matter what
Edgy
Random Mayhem honestly same
It's better than hating one group of people, at least she views them equally
Lmao
Lmao same
Here is how im gonna come out
-sits next to parents-
Says "Im straight"
-they look confused-
Then i scream "STRAIGHT UP GAY"
KamiWasu • Good one, good one lol.
KamiWasu • that’s brilliant😂
Have you tried it?
I would run to my room straight after
@@instantnaruto6153 😂
OR! you can stay in the closet and go to narnia. think about that!
TO NARNIA!

coliedug boi I'm so deep in the closet I'm already in Narnia lol
NARNIA!

i'm not gay, but i feel sorry for those who are, not because of who they like, but of the ridicule they are put through from homophobes and just dicks in general, so if you are gay/lesbian and someone tells you its wrong, either walk away, or punch them, but maybe not number 2, that might get you into trouble ^_____^
It's nice that other people on the internet other than LGBT think that way .. I'm sick of those people and I'm mainly annoyed at Russia ( if you don't know what's going on I suggest you search it before I rant on about it)
Ipod Touch yes, it is wrong, people should be allowed to be who they are, other people shouldn't be able to say that they cant be gay, lebian, transgender ect0
harley smith Im LGBT I luckily havent gone through anything like this since I have amazing friends but I do have the odd few people I like and it's hard to know tht I have no chance to go out with a straight person.. Ive even cried myself to sleep and wondered why me why am I like this but Ive started to accept who I am
*****
thx 2 days ago I actually just yelled infront of my entire form that im bi and you know what, I've actually became closer to my friends than before ! Best decision ever!
you are nice. I have 2 sick bullys laughing at me all day because I am pansexuals
I came out to my mom and she simply said: "Yeah, and?" I was in total shock, and she quickly said: "Oh, what a coincidence, we're having hotdogs for dinner!"
😂😂😂😂
best mom ever XD my parents are kinda homophobic
im straight but im kinda ashamed how homophobic my dad is
WindogePlayz if hes not scared of gay people hes not homophobic
Eric Torres actually the suffix -phobic means hatred not fear
For some reason, I can admit being gay on the computer. (Thanks cyberbully tips!)
But I CANNOT tell my family. Still.
Believe me I understand how you feel. It is easier to tell people who you don't know than people who you know and respect. My parents were the last to know but my brothers had a bet going since we were kids.
Same. Everyone online knows, all of my friends know, school staff know, but family don't know
I told my family that I'm lesbian and they called me mental freak....
wikacool3 Its okay. :)
Same here I just can't say in real life
my friend came out to me and another friend and the other friend was like "you don't look like you would be gay though?" and she just replied with "shit did I leave my rainbow in the cabin again?" -we were at camp-
another thing is that she came out in literally the most casual way possible
so my friend said something and she was like "oh wait no that sounded really gay" and my other friend was like "what a coincidence because I'm gay :D"
What?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMFG IM DIEING HAHAHAHA
Ok now that's everything
OMG WOWEE!! THATS SO COOL! 😂
it's easy. just write on a cookie ' Im Gay '
then just say " well, you are what you eat! ' and leave them to their deductions
Quite… creative
@@PRGME7 bro... was 13 when I wrote this
I came out today as gay.
My best friend supports me.
And besides she's always wanted a gay best friend! XD
Im happy.
Elijah Dugan fuck em, you can get a hetero best friend if you want too. They're just gatekeepers brodie
Yes sister
Emil Hansen I came out to my bff a few weeks ago that i was gay
Turns it she was Bi lol
AnimeLife omg same
I’m bi and two of my friends later came out as BI! Lol I’m dating one of them now I’m happy (I’m coming out to my dad soon and then my mom)
My mom and dad are VERY religious. My dad also has violent outbursts. I'm afraid to come out to them.
Low Calorie Water you should not come out if your not safe
Low Calorie Water wait until they're not as religious then come out
TechProRex Productions
The issue is that this may not happen - tell as many people as possible who you know will accept you and only tell your parents when you aren't dependent on them and can escape if you think they won't take it well
Low Calorie Water If you want to see how they will react, ask questions on their personal views.
Listen my parents already know I am lesbian and they accept me but I am not saying come out to them right away if you don't feel comfortable with it or you are afraid they wont accept you wait until like college when you can move out of the house or you are an adult but remember you will always have friends there to support you the entire way and a lot of people on CZcams or social media will accept you as you are....
I came out to one of my friend's as pansexual and turns out she was too
+Leila Shaye Good for you Leila!!!
Ah same! But instead it was bisexual :)
+Angelic Espeon same for me!
Hahaha I came out to my gay friend as bi, and he was like "I know, you told me you kissed a girl. I kinda figured"
MagicalBlonde
HAHA ironic
I came out to my mom as pansexual (attraction to all genders- trans, cis, nonbinary, genderfluid, intersex, etc.) several months back, and I thought she was taking it pretty well. Last night I mentioned casually at dinner to my Aunt and Uncle that I wasn't straight (they didn't really care that I wasn't, they just didn't know and were pretty casual about it) I was getting ready to attempt an awkward explanation and get bombarded with the usual "You mean BISEXUAL?!?" routine my mom had pulled, but my mom cut me off really aggressively and said "oh she doesn't know WHAT she is!" and I just kind of shut down after that. I mean, lately she'd been acting kind of hostile towards the idea of there being more than two genders, but I didn't think much of it. It really took me by surprise, because she said she'd accept me no matter what... I don't know, it just feels like a huge slap in the face. I just wish she would make up her mind about whether or not she supports who I am.
And by the way, if you're going to reply to this just telling me that pansexuality isn't a thing or that I should kill myself or that there are only two genders, kindly f*ck off because there have been MULTIPLE scientific studies that prove otherwise.
+The Saltiest Pearl I'm so sorry. That's awful that she did that to you.
I have a friend called sleep, its a very efficient way to hybernate throuh my pansexual problems. x3
+Archer Bennington I know how you feel I talked to my friend maddy after we went to different high schools. she told me: "I've found the new you!" that really hurt she acts like me and looks like me. her name is freddi. that's all I know

I have a small question. As I was reading your thing, you mentioned Pansexual, right? Well.... Could someone or you give me a simple but more detailed explanation of what that is?
I came out to my little brother and he said "I know. I've seen the fanfictions you were reading--"
i- how is this so accurate
GG
I can just imagine that when the next generation of children grow up and view something like this from over several decades ago they'll question why such videos needed to exist in the first place and wonder how at the time certain people even saw homosexulaity or bisexuality any different from heterosexuality.
Cal DW Well I sure do hope so.
Nope still the same :(
@@therealist3495. Why do you think that.
I can’t wait til it does happen 😕
@@therealist3495 well, we ain't gonna do a fascist dictator, so maybe not my dear lmao
I just found out I was bi sexual and I just told everyone. i didn't care. It was who I was and I was NOT going to change myself for anyone.
+mlpSpiritCross shoot. i wanna have your confidence bro :D
+mlpSpiritCross omg great job!
Avv2390 I did the same thing except my parents still don't know
Hell yeah dude! Me and you both!
I know in three years late but
Your so lucky you could work up the courage to do that I wish I was that confident
Right now only my friends know I am bi
I wish that society wouldn't make it so hard for people to come out, however there is progression. In the next few generations, or sooner, this won't be such an issue (I hope).
PREACH! 👍👏
it's hard for me
That's true. If I ever have kids and they are gay or bi I don't want them to go through that :(
Have you seen today's kids? Using Gay as an insult.
Spectrum I hope your path has been easier over these past few years. Wishing you the best.
Im gay and when I told someone that I was they siad it was unatural and I felt... Cold and well out of place then I searched it up "is being gay unatural?", and on the first thing I read said there are billions of species that practice homosexuality and there is only one that is homophobic and I thought to myslef, who's unatural now...
:) It's true, you are definitely not the unnatural one. In fact, it's only recently that homosexuality has become so demonized. You are well on your way to living an awesome life.
I'm fine with being closed bc I can just go to Narnia
Okay listen for a second.
Yesterday my dad was getting pizza from this place called Guy's Pizza. He asked me if I wanted anything and I don't like pizza, so I said, "Nah, I don't like guys,"
When I said it my face lit up the brightest shade of red so I went to my room, but I laughed at it after about 5 minutes alone in my room because I don't even think my dad processed what happened. I've always wanted a funny coming out story, yes.
cool story bro tell another u gay
@@hariswalker6096 why are you so homophobic??
A lesbian friend of mine came out to her mom like this: Her mom wanted to go to five guys, and she replied by saying: i don’t want to get five guys, i want to get five girls... and that’s her coming out story
I'm the unknown ?
I still don't understand why gay people aren't as respected as other straight people. They're still people. It's not like they're a different species. Jesus, parents.
Jesus is who you need to be following. Not using His name as a curse word. He is alive and saved my life. No one will ever love you like He will. He won't force you to accept Him.
CallMeMonti That's the only explanation that makes sense for me, I don't want to offend anyone, but that's what I think.
CallMeMonti I don't want any fights. Please don't start one.
+bb3280 your just an angry child
bb3280 Yeah, a lot of Christians get pissed when they see Athiests. Makes no sense.
I'm planning on casually coming out at bi to friend in a few days, wish me luck!
PuLu good luck
PuLuGood four-months-late Luck!! 💛
PuLu eight-months-late luck 😝💜
1 year late luck
Good luck
Ya know? The first time I came out I had really good friends, I knew I could trust them. I mean, 3 years of friendship is a good point right? When I came out to them, they accepted me. They were all nice, fun as usual. Nothing changed. It was great. I used to worry about hiding in the shadows for too long. But now feel great, knowing that they know that I have kept in a safe for so long. But now...
How do I come out to my family?
Be you and if you need support have of the friends you came out to there. Best wishes to you! :)
Same question for me too
It is very difficult with family. It all depends on the type of family you have. In my opinion only you know when it is right and you may need to give them time to process the information. I sat my mum down and told her. I let her ask questions and left her alone to process the information. I had also made arrangements with friends in case I was kicked out as my mum is very religious.
Just make sure that you have someone to help you if it does go bad. I'm not saying it will go bad but you should always be prepared for the worst.
I don't care weather your gay,straight or bi hell I don't give a shit if your sexually attracted to shampoo
*Whether
I'm sorry I'm OCD
***** yes finally someone who actually said ok
How about if I think there are 53 genders
+Focus Candy *I have OCD lol for a person with that I thought you might want things perfect
But when I'm attracted to 7 year olds, it's wrong
I think I'm going to come out on Monday, Imma take a new t-shirt and write on it:
IM PANSEXUAL AND GENDER FLUID and wear it to school.
+Burgundy Merriweather So.. how did it go :D?
Suffering Lion Haven't done it yet! XDD
+Burgundy Merriweather how did it go?

Burgundy Merriweather do you know when you are?
I'm straight. Why am I here
true that
Might be late. Dentist
I just wanted to watch a ton of well cast videos today.
Everyone is a little gay
Dana McCullough because you might need to come out soon, even if it’s not with your sexuality. People can come out about so many different things
I told my bff that I was lesbain and that is liked them . THEY liked me to I'm sooooòooòoo happy !!!! I can't wait to tell my other friends and this video helped thank you for making this video and evryone who gave me support thank you to
I'm bisexual and my family is highly religious and I don't know what to do!
It's ok you can be religious and gay . If you really have to then just do it.
Take your time, Jack. You don't have to tell them tomorrow! Wait till you're ready.
How i see the best outcome: Get a Boyfriend. Tell your parents/guardians. When they ask "Who is she?" you say "He, and his name is (Insert), and we love eachother. Do you respect that?" That is the best way to go.
If they are highly religious they will treat you with respect
goldengameA Highly religious can be seen as "Old fashioned" too as in they're not considering what the modern world is like and believing in something that's several thousand years old back when the human race didn't quite understand everything. Remember a couple hundred years ago "highly religious" people were responsible for trying to hunt supposed magical witches and look how that turned out. We don't quite know what the person posting is exactly meaning when they say highly religious, if they're lucky enough to have parents who follow the ideology of "Love thy neighbour" and respecting their family and fellow man then they've got nothing to worry about but if it's the bigoted kind of highly religious then it's understandable why they don't know what to do.
I came out as bi today
Sondre Dale yay!❤️ I hope everyone took it well and accepted you for who you are
Good for you! I am too!
I was crying while watching this video. This has helped me so much, I love watching they're videos. They have helped me get through so many things, and when I don't know what to do/say, I watch they're videos. I wish everybody in the world has seen this so they know it's okay to come out!
CAN WE JUST STOP THE HATE?!?!
no cuz ur gay
so you just juge people based on their differences she’s just the same as you
I’m here for you you shouldn’t have to change yourself your awesome just the way you are I know how it feels I was bullyed this one boy called me a brat I support you don’t listen to anyone tells you you’re effecting gods will because you’re not
I came out to my parents in 2011 and they don't accept me and I came out to my friends in 2012-2013 and Ever sense I came out in public my parents are religious and they still don't accept and hate me being gay but I wouldn't let that stop me from being happy
Noel Rodriguez Garcia aww you poor thing I wish I could give you a hug
Oh sad, what about now?
This video helped me come out, thank you so much Wellcast, I can't thank you enough
This video helped me the most out of all of theirs. Re-watching it almost makes me want to cry, to be 100% honest. God, I wish they hadn't quit, or Google stopped funding them or whatever. Dear God though, I miss this channel so much.

@@period805 im gay woman i am going tell my mum and dad im gay wish me luck .
@@michellelohde8683 very late good luck
before I came out to my mom I watched this like 1000 times consecutively
Kenzie Bye hey.. i know this is late.. but how did that go?
Last school year,one of my friends yelled out that they're gay in the cafeteria during lunch.
I came out to the people I thought were my friends and they are now saying that they'll tell the whole school😭
I'm so sorry. It'll get better 💕
i hope things are alright!
are you ok?
I'm gay and me and my friends were talking about it in the changing rooms (we thought we were alone) until we walked out and some girls were just standing listing in to my hole convocation now every time I walk past them they whisper she's gay and give bad looks and there going to tell the hole school.and I don't care because I'm proud to be gay and those people don't deserve to be your friends people are always there to talk 💕
**casually grabs butter knife**
I came out to classmates when we were lining up and my teacher said “I want this line to be straight” and I said “It would be straight if I wasn’t in it” and then everyone started laughing 😂
im ganna tell my best friend that im gay at the end of 8th grade
Emilio Reyes GOOD LUCK!!!!! It'll be hard though, trust me. It's been a year from today since I came out to my best friend and I was TERRIFIED!!! But it turns out that she just so happens to like girls too! Best of luck to you!
Emilio Reyes Good luck! I hope your friend is super accepting of you
Emilio Reyes personally, I feel like you shouldn't pick a certain time to come out to someone. You may not be ready at that time or you might be ready well before that point. Anyway, good luck.
People seem a LOT more accepting on the internet than in real life. On the internet they are like yeahh go you! But in real life they just say offensive things to fit in and not lose their reputation. Annoying! Not saying everyone though...
This video really helped me and I'm much more confident and have a lot more self-respect now that I've came out, thank you Wellcast
I CAME OUT TO MY MOM, THANKS TO THE TIP THAT THIS VIDEO GAVE ME. THANK YOU TO WHO EVER MADE THIS VIDEO!!! #GAYPRIDE
Hi
I want to tell my best friend that I'm gay so bad... but I have the biggest crush on her and I'm too scared to tell her
I love your profile picture
On internet:
Me: I'm straight as a circle.
Irl:
Me: Ummm... I'm not gay..
Thanks for coming up with such an amazing video❤
Hey mom dad im straight.....
STRAIGHT UP BISEXUALLLLLL
feel free to use this with whatever sexuality
can you do a video on how to figure out if you're gay?
You don't need a video. step 1, watch gay porn. 2 look down. 3 if you have a boner, you're gay (or by). Unless your a woman, I don't know what to do then.
thnx :3 I'm not that worried about it now :D
You prefer Ryan gosling over Justin Bieber. jks.
no u
This is why I love this channel, wellcast is so amazing
I told my best friend Kaitlyn at first she thought it was a joke but them when she realized I was serious she was super supportive
I can't even say it out loud to myself
just keep trying. it took me a while to say it to myself to. have faith
I think someone locked the closet from the outside
My friend came out on her tenth B-day. I’m proud of her for being so honest because I know some people who tells her that she’s too young. I support her.
Thanks wellcast my friend really needed help coming out to his parents and I felt like I needed to send him this video he couldn't have been happier and I'm was happy for him as well thanks again :)
I came out to all of my friends and they were completely fine with it. I told my sister I'm bisexual. In the beginning, she was rather disappointed with me but after a few weeks, she was ok with it. Now, she doesn't care at all! I came out to my dad, he was completely fine with it. My mum though....she's really religious. My family is all muslim and in Islam, homosexuality and every sexuality that isn't heterosexuality is wrong. You will go to hell if you're something other than straight. In my country (Singapore), Gay Marriage is illegal. There are LGBTQ parades in Singapore, it's called Pink Dot and it happens annually. I'm want to go but I'm socially awkward and I have no one to go there with. My dad is always busy and far away from me (My parents are divorced) and my sister would rather go out with her friends.
Agent Nutella Aweh :(
Wait...There's an LGBT parade in Singapore?!Damn I live in Malaysia and although it's way bigger than Singapore there isn't any LGBT parade.Well hope one day you'll find someone to go to the parade with.The first time I've went to a LGBT parade was when I was in Australia and I went alone but I wasn't alone for long,usually when people see that you're alone at parades thy tend to go up to you and ask if you want to hang with them so you won't be alone.It's cool.
... Oh... do these strategies work for revealing that oneself is a furry?
I would assume the same strategies would work for furries as well. These strategies are basicly just trying to tell a secret about who you are that does effect your life.
Anyone who is a true friend will understand, even if for whatever reason they disagree.
If you're young and are planning to tell your parents, you may want to wait until you've moved out and can support yourself if you think your parents will not understand.
Remember, this is just one part of your life. Don't treat it as some abnormal thing, and chances are the person you are telling it to will not think it's abnormal either.
As for explaining the furry thing to anyone. Watch "Uncle Kage"/Samuel Conway's thing on dealing with the media. It's a panel he does at several conventions. It's mostly dealing with the media, but it also talks a little bit on how to explain the furry stuff to normal people who have never heard about it. Don't worry, he tells a few jokes, so it won't be all that boring (he sometimes says vulgar things too).
There's some interesting psychology that goes into telling things stuff.
Personal Story time
As for me, I don't go around telling people these things generally. If something comes up, it comes up.
1. When I was young playing video games was somewhat looked down upon in my town.
2. Later on in my life, in the time where everyone question's their sexuality, I thought I was gay for a while and told a couple people. (Though years later I found out I was either bi or didn't care for sex)
3. Little later on I was into the Furry community for a while.
4. Later on I got into the Brony community.
Even with all these things, just about everyone I meet likes me.
I don't hide anything and keep doing what I do, but I don't go around shoving it in people's faces.
Anyone who get angry and declares that they are no longer my friend, I pretty much ignore, because they were never really a good friend to begin with. Eventually you'll just be left with a bunch of good friends you can trust and are open-minded enough to be okay with whatever you do.
I hope at least some of this is helpful/comforting.
Thanks, that really took a load off. It was very comforting to know that one way or another, everything is going to be just fine.
Ceasarexthemage
Glad I could help. =)
Hey i'm also a furry! don't worry buddy there's no reason to be afraid of telling it XD the people that loves you will understan and rest won't really get what's that all about so they won't really bother about it. Also there are a lot of furries out there! you are not alone :3 (I assume you know about Furaffinity, right? if not is an awesome web that you should check out)
Thank you, good to know! :3 Though, I have yet to check out Fur Affinity...
I came out to my mom just before I went to sleep about a month ago. She, unlike the people at my school, said she would support me no matter what.
I can’t believe how kindly my best friend took it when I came out as a teen. She just hugged me.
I recently came out to my grandma just yesterday. She’s always been very religious, including that the idea of gay is a sin. She always had seem to hate gays and wants nothing to do with them. Someone who I had come out to unfortunately told her. I approached about it to her yesterday telling and confirming that I was gay. She took it better then I thought but there are still bumps and curves I feel like we both need to get past but it feels like it’ll never get there. She tells me she’ll never come to my wedding and that she wants to pray that I’ll be straight again. Honestly it kind of hurts, telling someone you’ll pray for them is like saying “oh there’s something wrong with you, I hope god fixes it”. She never talks about it and gets weird when I bring it up. She’s not open to going to support group meetings and I kinda feel lost here.
Any advice anyone? Is this relatable for anybody else? Just wanted to let others know they’re not alone and many gay people sometimes have to face things like this
I don't care if anyone is gay straight or bi I am gay and it took me a little bit of time to tell my mom my mom acted calmly but my dad kinda got mad a little but he understood so if your attracted to cars showers men woman beds be yourself you were made to be who you are don't be ashamed on who YOU are other people can't change you if someone tries to bring you down or make fun of you ignore them be you don't let others be you don't let bully's make your decisions make your own decisions be you don't ever let someone make fun of you be yourself 🙂😀
Amen
Punctuation? 😂 Nice comment though.
It gets better and we LOVE you!
Thank you. I needed this
I told my friend that I was bi and she was okay with it
I told my sisters and they weren't rlly...happy...
If I tell my parents they'll probs disown me...
Don't be afraid... I'm sitting on the fence right now about coming out... I don't know what to do. My family is going through a lot of stress right now because of my dad... I don't want to add to that stress...

Thanks WellCast!
when i came out i got inside a closet znd jumped out and said guess what i am gay
I pray to God that one day in the future someone will stumble upon all the "coming out advice" videos and their reaction will be "wth? there was a whole process? i just brought home my girlfriend/boyfriend and no one even asked about it."😭
That would be an ideal future.
I think that if we stop making it sooooo dramatic, the person we are coming out to is more likely to considerate normal the fact we are attracted to the same sex
+Unicorn 123 the whole reason its a big deal is because for so many years it wasn't accepted i get your train of thought but if youre in a unstable environment where its hard to come out its good to try and talk to people about it because you dont wanna keep that stuff bottled in it hurts
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the advice and really helped me in coming out!!
This was soooo helpful. Ohemgee.
yep.. that gay is basically representing itself in the form of "Ohemgee"... not that its anything bad, but its just ironic
Ohemgee ur gay
sometimes i hate other people coming out because they all do it so creatively and cool and i just walked up to my friends and went like "hi, i'm a homosexual"
You actually come out every time you meet someone. But the first time is as big as the video says. Trust me, if you aren’t in danger, coming out gives you a big confidence boost and it makes you feel like you figured yourself out. It’s really great, for those who lack the confidence now.
Hey there. Thank you so much for this video.
This has been a helpful "tips for coming out" video.
I just came out to my Christian mom earlier. And gosh I feel so free. I understand she would need some time to process this but we're okay nevertheless. Thank you so much for this! Mwah. 😘
I came out to my friends first, they were like - " ok, I don't care, it doesn't affect anything that we all have " I was happy, like YEEEEEEEE XD happy
I told a couple of Internet friends, the ones I TRULY DEEPLY trust- they didn't care either
Then my grandma.... It didn't turn out so well.... She told my grandpa and he told my parents, and I got in trouble ( I don't know how :T ) I mean like - ' ITS NOT YOUR JOB TO TELL PEOPLE ' plus they're Christians/Catholic.... I'm not saying I don't like believers, Not every believer is like that UvU - So my dad said -" Tune down the drama, you're still a kid " I just say there thinking- ' Oh no... I have to say sorry NOW ?!?! NOW THERES GOING TO BE MORE DRAMA '
I made some stupid excuse, cause I know he's just going to yell at me for trying to ' grow up '.....
I can't trust my family now :/ well sometimes- atleast my closest friends and Internet friends know, and promised not to tell.... ( and I know my internet friends didn't cause we talk all the time and yea :T can't really explain it )
NashyDaOwner I'm sorry for your situation,
I'm treding in deep water thinking about coming out to my parents. Their disapproval (and grandparents) can hurt a lot. But if they do not accept you for you then (to be blunt) you don't need to be around them when they grow older. That way you can be you judgement free.
Look if you want to feel assured about coming out of the closet don't just try to get your parents to sympathize with your situation and it should help a little bit or they will be more supportive than even your friends ;) now please don't get mad at them they are just wanting to protect you in their eyes :) ok thx for reading.
+Aidan Collins type-o that don't at the beginning was supposed to be a do
thank you SO much... many of these advises helped me coming out :) and i can only describe myself as a glad homosexual 16 y old after i told it :) :D
Thank You Wellcast you helped me get it out of my head these videos got me through alot in my life
and finally I can live my life without keeping secrets about myself :) #Proud2ComeOut
I was one of the lucky ones that had a great support system through this process. Fine Arts Departments (specifically in music and theater) tend to be more liberal and open then other organizations. I was lucky in that I happened to join the choir at my school. It definitely helps to have friends that aren't going to try to change you, or push their agendas in your face, but are loving and want you to live the way you are.
All I'm gonna say, is Thank You. =)
not welcome u gay
I litterally cryed tht if I came out to my friends they would hate me im so worried im scared can somone please help im crying rightnnow
Tell someone you really trust, like your parents, or your best friend.
You need some new friends.
im worried about my dad
+Bell Cranel I know this comment was posted three months ago, but:
- Remember that quote that all LGBTQ+ people know.
- If your parents are anything-phobic, just feel confident.
- If you can't look them in the eyes, look at their nose.
- JUST TELL THEM HOW YOU FEEL! I came out a few months ago and my parents were overwhelmingly supportive. I'm almost in a relationship... (LOL, I wish, but whatever you need, Bell, you'll be fine.)
I told my dad he accepted me im really happy
Thanks
I almost cried tears of joy :)
Thank you this was very helpful!
I'm not even gay but I run around screaming gay things and saying I'm as straight as a circle....
... I'm asexual and aromantic what am I doing with my life
I feel weird because everyone is acting emotional and I'd just paint the walls rainbow and scream it out. Also if I suspect my friend is gay I'll give them a rainbow shirt and bug them till they tell me. Gays are fabulous.
Gladius i’m ace and aro too
@@sanstheskeelaton3337 I am jealous of both of you. I’m straight and heteromantic. I am also philophobic. Meaning I fear romantic attraction. It would be easier for me to not feel romantic emotions.
In conclusion, please be proud of this aspect of your personality. There are people who are jealous.
Edit: I figured out I’m somewhere on the aroace spectrum myself. Apologies if anybody was offended by the above comment.
That's it. I'm coming out.
I'm straight
U came out and all friends and family took it really well and a couple already knew
I've been telling close friends over social media, too afraid to confront them face to face, but it's increasing my confidence and they're suuuper supportive. Plus... I think my family already knows I'm not straight, maybe they mayn't know I'm trans, but not straight.
I came out as bi to my lesbian friend. I really don't want to come out to everyone yet because I'm afraid it will ruin my chances of having a long and successful military career.
Whatever u do.. Do it because your soul needs to have peace and clarity. Best wishes..
I have a problem, my best friend knows that I am not straight and she accepts the fact but, the issue is, is that I like her.... and the first thing she said when I told her was: But I am straight so don't think that we are going to go out or anything because I mean, my parents and I am most definitely straight!' this may not be insanely accurate because it happened last year and I didn't like her then like that. I don't know what to do, help!!!
This is propably a bit late for you but I still want to say it. I know its hard accepting that you dont have a chance with the Person you like, especially when they are straight. I've been in that situation and the only advice I can give is: give it time. It hurts and thats ok. its no ones foult that your in a Situation like this. I know its incredibly painfull but I promised it will get better.
my first language isn't english. sorry for mistakes
you helped me so much with this video! thanks my parents disowned me but w/e i love who i am and that cannot change. Let haters be haters i love my men.
the best thing is; is in my middle school I came out and the whole school found out and then a lot or my friends came out to me saying I was an inspiration to them for them to come out it was AMAZING
But I like the closet it's warm and safe.
actually I'm very openly gay
You're very brave!
jk i love u im gay for u
WELL DONE!! LOVE IT!!
Wow this was so helpful, thank you!
I think I'm bisexual, but idk for sure...
I might just be bi-curious
🤷🏼♀️
k den be gay den
If you know your parents will go apeshit, don't tell them until you've moved out and everything is stable for you incase they wanted to kick you out.
+Sarah Matheson They can't kick you out if you are underaged
+Suffering Lion
It's against the law, but they can do it already.
Suffering Lion Well they sure as hell would kick you out as soon as you're old enough with nothing to support yourself. Either that, or they won't help you when you're in need.
I'm Not Havin' It Well if they dont kick you out at the start, they would probably accept it and wont kick you out... but yeah better tell em when you are completely grown up and have money and a place to live
Thanks for the tips, will make it so much easier guys xox
My friend came out to me, and now we are amazing best friends.
