- We all deserve our best chance.
Here's a random, but meaningful assortment of things that have given me comfort on my path to acceptance. Think of them as a hug from me to you.

💖
Love you Zoe xx
Zoe! I agree^^^
Zoella Me too Zoe!
*insert Hayley Hiyoko dancing in a car*
Oh mY GOD
That's my favourite video
She was 26 when she filmed this. Coming out at any age can be scary. I’m very proud of her for giving herself her best chance!
why does her age matter?
It doesn’t, just a fun fact!
"That's something is... I'm GAY! It feels so good to say that..."
My heart melted
Angelia Cbcb ikr
My eyes began to sweat....i did‘t come out yet...
U must have a small heart if ur heart melted
Angelia Cbcb mine too
Wait till you are cast into the lake of fire Rev 21-8 all of you will melt...
Heeeey we don't know each other personally, but we're CZcamsr's React fam so just stopping by to say you have my love and support!!!
Timothy DeLaGhetto good guy
I'm right with you. I also just noticed that you and Ingrid are Thai.
Preach 😌🙏🏼
You're a great person and I love your vids
Timothy DeLaGhetto TIMOTHY!!
“i’m gay , it feels so good to say that” i’m crying so hard rn 😭🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
100th like....
says a lot.
That always makes me cry. I felt that so hard. The worst is when you can’t even say it. Like you just say you like the same sex but you can’t even say the word “gay” out loud.
Why would you want us to know? Whats the point of telling us?
super jim him wow - ok? i was just leaving a comment you do n’t have to take out your negative energy on someone you don’t even know 😬
Forreal
i watched this when i was about 12 years old when this video came out . i was like , SHES SO PRETTY . 4 years later i found out i’m a lesbian . watching this again makes me look back at myself , i love this woman . she is wonderful .

CZcams was another world back then man
Now it’s 8
This is bi far one of my favourite videos
Sloth lovely pun
Lmao
*no pun intended just a typo*
@@phatboi813 Shhh...let us dream.
Booooo
All these people calling her out on her saying gay instead of lesbian, Saying she's crying for attention. No, she's crying because she is so happy that she can finally come out. Finally be herself, and not lie to keep people happy. I support her 100%.
ara ara nee-sama. You have a good point💛 you earned a subscriber😜
is this literal or serious? cuzz gay means happy and I'm really confused
Imasu Kirisawa seems like she doesn't give a shit actually and she could just do it without those emotions like "hello i'm gay...whatever"
+DiamondSky Then you're really stupid. I mean WOW
Michael Hilliard holy fuck you're gullible lol 😂😂
Accept Love. Accept marriage of any consenting adult, to love and live with any other consenting adult. Accept that everyone should have the free choice over their own lives.
Dude Perfect Kids Really? Because I think that anger towards a harmless group of HUMAN BEINGS (yeah they are all HUMANS) is what a real mental disorder is. Just because someone doesn't follow what you consider to be "correct" doesn't mean they are sick. And also, I hate it when ignorant people enforce their petty religious views on someone else to justify a point. NEWS FLASH! NOT EVERYONE IS RELIGIOUS! I know it's a real shocker and it will be hard to get into your thick skull, but believe me, it's 100% true. Love is not just exclusive to a man or a woman; humans all have the ability to love and it is quite the amazing thing. No one should have their ability to love taken away just because a vast minority (yeah the majority of Americans believe that "Gay is OK") says that it is wrong and "GOD says no so I say no and you will burn in hell with all of the other dirty sinners of this world!" Let me break this down for you: Gay is not a sin. Same-sex love is not a sin. Hatred to a harmless person, who lives their everyday lives almost exactly like you, is horrible and you should honestly be ashamed of yourself. Religion is used to bring peace to a group of people and if you are using it to hurt other people, you are exploiting your religion and worshiping wrong.
David Hackett Thank you. Really, thank you. For explaining this to yet another ignorant person who seems to think that being gay, something that isn't a choice, is a sin and that they will burn in hell for it. I couldn't have put it better myself and you have (hopefully) shut down one more of those awful comments that seem to be impossible to put an end to.
Dude Perfect Kids God doesn't exist. I'm sorry if I burst your bubble. OK, I'm not really that sorry.
Kristoffer Stalsberg yes he does
Zarkow I've honestly given up on the gays, really they just earned a one-way ticket down to hell....
My Bff’s ex called me gay and I said
“Sadly you are only partially right”
After that he just walked away
(I’m Bi)
thank you for reaching out to over 17 million people. for showing them its ok and being there for them even if you dont know it!
I'm so proud of you!! Now its time to live your life to the fullest!!
Yass maphie I love your channel and love u ingrid❤❤❤
I love you:) proudd of you! Seriously
Your so right!
Yes so right maphie!!!! 😊
Yeah
You looked so nervous to tell us this and there's no reason to be! The ones who matter most will love you no matter what x
This is why I love you and your videos Hannah your so understanding xx
Loveyou Hannah totally supporting ingrid!!❤️❤️
Wise words! So happy you could get that off your chest Ingrid ❤️❤️❤️ you deserve to be happy ☺️
Hannah Renée Definitely!! I totally agree!! xx
Your so right!
Ingrid, Troye and Connor coming out were such important moments of mine and many other people's childhoods. as a young and foolish kid (11-12 yrs old) I held prejudices because i simply didn't know better, but their influence seriously was game changing for me and i'll never forget the kind of impact it had on my generation. There are so many other youtubers that had a similar impact that i haven't mentioned but this applies to them too ❤️
I still come back to this video sooo many times. I am in the middle of my own coming out experience right now and you were one of the people who inspired me so much.
Update: I came out a little over a year ago now and it was the best thing I ever did.
now this is the true definition of a role model
love you x10000
YESS
💯💯😍😍😍👌
Definitely! I love ingrid and she is so brave. So much respect
This is so fake omg I know she's a fashionista but being gay isn't a trend hunny
You are amazing Ingrid. So proud of you for coming out!
Hi Mel! I love your videos
Mary Kay hey! thank you :)
Hi omg I'm your biggest fan!
You are my favourite CZcamsr!! :)
mel2able heyyyy mel!!
I came out last year. I wanted to kill myself. This video saved me back then.
Thank you, for saving my life.
Edit: OMG never had so many likes in a comment thank you guys I love you so so much may the force be with you 😭😭😭😭😭
Thanks for all the support.
Feeling all the gay vibe now.
Omg I love you, stay safe 💖💖💖
❤️❤️
We all love you no matter who you are!!!😍❤️❤️
Hi I love you
I love you and I'm so proud of you
this is the one coming out video (and I’ve watched MANY) that really like touched me and changed me, brought me to tears and had me feeling A WHOLE KINDA WAY. I’ll remember watching this for the first time for the rest of my life
I'm gay too. Wait, no I'm human.
We are all human. Lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. It doesn't matter. Live life as its meant to be.
This has to be one of my favourite comments on this video... So many people judge people for coming out online, I myself don't know how you guys feel to have to hold that in.. But in all honesty I think you guys are so strong to be able to handle this I respect you as humans because it shouldn't matter if you're gay or not!
I'm curious... How do you know what is the right way to live life?
Juno Irwin I love your comment, dude.
Jared Steege I'm curious... Who are you to question someone's way of living?
Juno Irwin life is sooo beautiful for all us!! and for the stupid "humans" who criticize others, I think they will never know who it's feels be free, in and outside, a shame!
Girl, I'm so proud of you. I'm so sorry you've had to keep it a secret for so long, but now you are free!! :) Also, your true girlfriends will stick by you and love you and support you no matter whether you are straight, bi, or gay. Sexuality is irrelevant. YOU ARE AWESOME.
I totally agree with you
Taryn Southern Well put ... great words Taryn ... for all the guys that were in love with her .... tough luck
Good lord. The comments on CZcams are rather disturbing. Why do much hate? Anyway, good on you for finding the courage to speak your truth to the world. And good on you Taryn Southern for being a good human.
Taryn Southern YOU'RE BOTH PERFECT!!
Taryn Southern it so strange that many people got some reason to disrespect boys for being gay
but when it comes up to girls its ok....
13:28 she’s right, it’s not fair. It’s not fair to anybody. it’s not fair to her. It’s not fair to a person that she’s in a relationship with. They do deserve a full life. She deserves a full life.
When I first watched this video I was 14, full of doubt and most of all, terrified. I remember so clearly listening to Ingrid’s words and crying because I found myself in them, I was starting to understand that I couldn’t ignore it forever and I knew the implications it had. This video, although it hurt me at first, has helped me so much on my journey of self-understanding and acceptance. Today, as a 20 years old lesbian, I couldn’t be more proud and happy to be who I am. So this is a thank you, I guess.
"I was in a prison built for me by the world and at some point I took over the construction and kept the building going... that was the phase" SO courageous and so beautifully said!! So proud lady!!
I really hate to be the bearer of bad news (read as: not really, bc I could give less of a shit.) but to all the people who are leaving negative messages on Ingrid's video, to those of you who say you're fans of hers, yet still left a homophobic comment. You're not really, and you were never truly a fan of hers to begin with, because a true fan of Ingrid's would support her.
It took her a lot of courage to come out, and I'm really happy for her.
Carsen Darling Just because you're a fan, doesn't mean you have to support everything someone does...Chris Brown had lots of fans but not many people agreed when he beat Rhianna...Chris Brown still has lots of fans.
+itsatwinthing1 Are you seriously going to compare a sociopath beating up his girlfriend with someone who is brave enough the talk About who she really is? Wow.. Pathetic...
Evy Bakker My thoughts exactly xD
Carsen Darling ignore stupid people and don't reply to there comments.
***** Not everyone believes in your God and not everyone wants to follow your religion's bullshit. Welcome to the real world. Not everything revolves around your Christian views.
im crying sjkssksjs i know this video was uploaded years ago, but im just so thankful i found your channel and watched this video. youre so inspirational and strong, ive only watched one video of you before this one, but i absolutely am proud of you and i love and admire you so much. i hope youre fully living your best life now. 💞
I remember watching this 7 years ago and not fully understanding why it affected me so much. But I was so in the cycle of suppression I didn’t even realise I was doing it. Now I’m 25 and out and rewatching this… 🏳️🌈
Love you xxx
Tanya Burr I love her 2 and u as well
I am so proud of ingrid! Xx
I'm so proud 😭
😍
Ingrid, you are just the most amazing person
You are a strong, beautiful woman!
awwxx
Quishaaaaaaa
6 years since this uploaded and i still come back to it because it was honestly one of the first moments i could see that being gay is nothing to hide. my own journey with my sexuality has been rocky, so i truly appreciate these scraps of representation that I had to look up to when i was younger. course, there’s a whole lot more now with the community being accepted more!
My name is Crystal, I'm 13 years old and I'm lesbian. I've never said this before and I'm terrified of telling my parents but your video has inspired me to come out.
Hi I am 11 and want to no if we can be friends and I would like you to let me know how you made out with telling your parents.?????
I'm heterosexual but pagan and am scared too come out the "pagan broom closet".
Have you come out yet? If you haven't yet then we can talk. I'll support you
@@davidsmith7474 I haven't yet, my parents are totally against it. And if I come out to them before i turn 18 I'm scared of what there gonna do to me.
@@big_-guy102 I haven't, still terrified to tell them.
so much love!
:D
yeh I'm proud of her :), btw Nat will you be posting a video soon?
Hi natalie!!!!
communitychannel its pornomusic slash comment time (-: hi nat
***** No, gay is often used to describe homosexual women too. Myself and a couple of my gay female friends actually don't want to identify with the word 'lesbian' for various reasons and feel much more comfortable to identify ourselves as gay.
I hope now you'll feel like your true self Ingrid, and enjoy your new chapter of your life! I've been watching your videos for a very long time and didn't see this video ever popping up - so now is your time to be your true self! Be proud of who you are xxx. (And well done for being brave!)
Love you Cherry!
Aww💕
Love you Cherry💜
I agree
So true
Having videos like this is so important. This is a fantastic coming out video. Everything was so eloquently said and explained. Having videos available like this for people who are struggling with coming to terms with their own sexually helps more than I think some people can imagine. I know when I first started to come to terms with my own sexuality, having videos like this to turn to helped me so much. I don’t watch this channel, I came here cause of Rowan Ellis, but thank you so much for being so open and bearing your soul to everyone. Just, thank you.
This is a video that changed my life I will nvr forget. The first fem I witnessed coming out at time in my life when I really needed it. Coming back and watching this 4 years later we have both come a long long way.
So I have been getting tweets and messages about a brave girl named Ingrid Nilsen coming out on CZcams and holy crap I am SO happy I came over to check you out! So honestly I have never watched you before this video, had no idea who you were and I haven't seen any of your prior videos before this one.... but I just want to say how happy I am for you! You are helping so many young kids by doing this; sharing your positivity and bravery with the world and showing that being gay isn't a bad thing! We need more people like you in the world. So again, congrats Ingrid! This is truly amazing and I'm glad I have another sister on my side of the fence ;)
Manny Mua oh and you're freaken beautiful... like damn haha lucky girls!
You guys are both incredible! So much positivity and acceptance you two are spreading. It's crazy to think about, but you guys are directly contributing to our generation being kinder and more acceptive of all people, no matter their differences. We need more of this!
Love is love!!! How could anyone say that to love someone,regardless of their sex,is wrong??!!
Manny Mua Ingrid *Nilsen. Doesn't change your message though, so beautiful
Manny Mua super wild! Just yeterday I hadn't heard about you, but had stumbled upon your instagram somehow. :) now I stumble upon your comment somehow too! Weird how things happen. And yes, Ingrid is amazing!!!
I know I don't know you personally but I've watched your videos since the beginning. I've always looked up to you and this doesn't change that. You deserve to be happy and loved for who you are. You are beautiful inside and out. We all support you no matter what. So happy you can now have your "best chance!"
Well said girl! So proud of you, Ingrid! You've inspired and given hope to so many people today. 💜💜
I've been watching your videos for two years now! Your comment warms my heart, thanks for being an amazing person! :)♡
this was the first coming out video i had ever seen. 11 year old me was very happy for you. 15 year old me is even happier.
i’ve identified as a straight female my whole life. me and my family have always been very accepting of the lgbtq+ community. i’ve grown up liking boys and wanting a boyfriend. i never really thought about liking girls. recently, my older sister brought her friends to our house, we went on a drive together and ever since then i haven’t been able to stop thinking about her. it was weird to me because at first she was the only girl i thought was cute, so i was confused. but after taking time to really figure it out, i realize that i am into girls. even though my family would accept me, i’m very scared to come out as bi. i’m afraid of other loved ones like friends, who will treat me differently. watching these videos help me feel like i’m not alone.
Naomi Taylor thank you sweetheart. i hope you figure your story out ♥️
We kinda have the same story.
I grew up liking girls and wanting a girlfriend and soon I questioned myself why I looked at boys more than girls. I figured out I’m gay and accepted it ever since. I came out to my trusted friends and all were supportive
Just remember that you are not being forced to come out, you can come out anytime you want. Just make sure you feel that you are comfortable, confident and in a safe space. (Perhaps have a friend or sibling who support you near you when you come out (for support))
You are *not* alone
@@imthatextrakid8292 Same here I’m a lesbian and I’m 18 and I was scared to come out too but I’m out and I told my mom and my cousins and my brother they accepted me and I’m happy and I accept myself as a lesbian and I’m out and proud of it
People who want to be gay are just confused and lost people you got born into the Earth as a human you got the chance to grow up and live and you decide to be gay not only are you upsetting the balance of the world but you are also sinning yourself and your children just imagine waking up one day and your mother tells you that she's gay that shit is just seriously traumatizing people need to really just open their eyes I'm not saying I can stop someone from being gay like I have no problem being friends with a gay person but if that's how you want to live then you're just completely messing up your whole entire life permanently, believe it or not
CZcamsrs coming out as gay is not a "trend." I think it's because they see the positive reactions from the community of the ones who are coming out. They realize that it's becoming more accepted and don't want to hide a big part of themselves from their subscribers anymore. So please be happy for Ingrid and don't think that it's for publicity. Spread love not hate because it's very courageous what ingrid did ❤
Yes I know right totally agree with you
Paige Meredith yes exactly! Those videos are just encouraging others, which is usually what people who make those videos want as well. Like many of them (like troye) has said how amazing it is to have their viewers say they were brave enough to come out because of those coming out videos. So it's not a different thing with youtubers.
So true! People are saying that it's for publicity and that it's becoming a trend but this is so false! If a youtuber is gay then obviously they're going to come out and tell their subscribers. I think ingrid is a brave and courageous girl and that everyone should support her and see her the same way as we did before this video. Being gay is a part of her, but that doesn't mean she can be funny and smart and everything else we love her for! X
Well, this is some excellent news indeed.
P.S. Does this make you a #BootyGuru?
#hartgrid
MyHarto hannah oh my god
oh my god Hannah 😂😂
i love u
I think I just found my favorite comment! Pansexual approved XD
Hearing you talk about pushing women and girls away and not forming close friendships with them for fear of developing feelings is SO RELATABLE as someone who was denying their bisexuality for most of their life. Thinking back to all the girls I had strained relationships with in middle and high school… I absolutely had huge crushes on them that I refused to admit to myself and just avoided and got annoyed at them instead
She was the break through and leader for so many ppl who needed help
To all the people saying that it doesn't matter that she's gay or that no one cares: You don't know what it's like to come out. She did this for no one but herself. Coming out is like a weight off your shoulders, and she did it for HER, not for attention, not to jump on the "coming out bandwagon" as I saw someone say. Coming out is a big part of being lgbt+ for most people and it's a huge relief, something that you should not mock or dismiss.
Alonte Kortrw
Please stop..
alonte kortrw it isn't even about the versions, it's how you interpret the text. many people usually like to put the text to the historical context, which has a great influence on the meaning.
I completely agree with you. I'm a christian and I know the Bible says it's "wrong" (as it also says that being an alcoholic is wrong, and lying, etc) but we don't have any right on judging her and attacking her with the Bible because that's not what true christians do. People are judging her because she "sins" differently than we do. We're all sinners here and being straight doesn't make us any better than her. We can't call ourselves the normal ones because she is normal too, she's still human. Our job is to love not judge.
alonte kortrw How I weep for you, my brother Jonathan! Oh, how much I loved you! And your love for me was deep, deeper than the love of women! 2 Samuel 1:26 , Meri is correct its how you interpret the text..where you see Adam and Eve I see Jonathan making love too his brother..Incest? Homosexuality? What is this doing in the bible?
I dont know .. . I think she did this video for more publicity and views. After all, they get paid for their publicity.
I hope that one day people won't have to 'come out' if they are gay and we will just accept others for who they are and see this as a normality.
Rebecca Wood well only 1.6% of the population is gay, so people will still kind of assume someone is straight unless they come out. we should be *more accepting* of those who come out as gay, rather than just assuming they're either gay or straight.
***** Well, for one thing: to have grown in a homophobic environment would put homosexuality in a depression. So taking from her experiences(as she HAD grown in one), she'd want of course the acceptance from people close to her, (i.e. her friends, subscribers, etc...).
"We live in a world where [gay people] can hold hands in the streets and nobody will say anything to them." Are you sure? There are still a lot of places(and by places I mean communities) that shame the LGBT+ community; or not necessarily shame, but more like unaccepting of several sexualities(including genders).
***** what the hell is wrong with you show some fucking respect.
Yes!!
TOM10460 Its not a disease its natural but not normal.
God coming back to this so many years later has me emotional. 2015 was a landmark year for so many of us.
It's been four years and I still cry watching this video. And this video also helped me in so many ways. You are so amazing. Thank you so much for everything
Thanks for sharing what a complicated and important thing this is and for being honest about your story. This was wonderful.
DFTBA Hank and Ingrid!!😘😘
Nicely said Hank☺️
I Cabrinha DFTBA to you all! :) x
Definitely did not expect this
Me either, i mean she did a boyfriend tag .so proud!!!!!!
Hey can you pleas tell me what is going on thanks
Cutie Lover, she is saying that she is attracted to the same gender as her; girls! It's very hard for people to come out because of the rude and nasty things the people around them will say. In many cases, friends and sometimes even family members will separate themselves from that person just because they aren't heterosexual, or attracted to the opposite sex. Ingrid is a very inspirational, beautiful, and strong woman and I'm so very proud of her and everything she's accomplished! I know and hope others realize that she is still the same person, just a bit more relaxed now. Never going to change my view on her❤️
Me neither! I am kinda freaking out!
Natalie Roque I KNOW RIGHT?! ?! ?! I'M SHAKING RIGHT NOW. I'm proud of her of course! But... Connor, Joey... and now sweet Ingrid. I'm happy for her,really happy. I'm just confused. I tought she's gonna joking,but nope. NOPE.
Anyway. I love you Ingrid, I really don't care if you love girls or boys. You're amazing and we love you! Everybody deserve the best.
BTW. sorry for my bad English.
When you come out, it’s not enough to have the courage to do it. Having just one friend who supports you and will be there for you makes all the difference! If one of your parents like your dad is a great ally, it will make all the difference!
I’m rewatching this now. I remember watching this for the first time and I’m so grateful for you. Thank you ❤️
Coming out is not a "trend", people just feel safer to come out right now because when one lgbt+ person sees another lgbt+ person coming out and getting so much support from their audience, they feel much safer to come out themselves. It's disgusting that some people actually see it as a "trend".
I'm so glad someone finally said it!
Exactly! It should make people happy to see so many people being themselves finally.
hira s in the words of the great Tyler Oakley "coming out isn't a trend. Being authentically yourself is. AND THANK GOD"
100% agree
yaynova Maybe you should look up the word trend
Thank you. Not for coming OUT, but for letting us IN 💗
What an amazing way to put it
this is amazing
I love the way you said that I am actually in tears. #sorrygirlyhormoneallissuses
❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is an amazing way of putting it. I loved seeing this comment seeing how the rest are really mean.
Gay or straight Ingrid Nilsen is still amazing.
at 0:36 i felt so happy for her becuase im BISEXAUL and right after she started crying i cryed
chloe rubio * calls themself bisexual but doesn’t even know how to spell bisexual *
This is the video I watched when I was coming out to myself three years ago. This video confirmed what I had been battling for so long. Thank you Ingrid.
I'm bawling crying because I feel so proud of you! I recently came out as bisexual on my channel and it was so difficult but it really encouraged so many young people to go out and vote YES for marriage equality here in Ireland! I'm in a long term relationship with a man, but I met that man while seeing a girl that he was trying to get stuck into and well, haha, the world has it's way of bringing people together, I guess. Regardless of gender. I just find people attractive, and I just LOVE YOU. X
Melanie Murphy My two faves
CiaraR to be anyone's fave alongside Ingrid (one of MY faves) is just, bae. It's bae! (I don't even know what bae means haha, but I think it's good). Thank you X
Oh it is sooo BAE! Hope you enjoyed your treats and bath ;) Not creepy at all! haha.(snapchat by the way) x
Melanie Murphy your CZcams story is really inspiring, Melanie! (:
Melanie ❤
Is it just me that really wanted to give her a hug when she cried at the beginning 💜
No
I wanted to hug her the whole time❤️😂
Sophie Williams I wanted to smack her with ma bible. Gonna scare ya straight.
Lord Flutternoob that's insensitive
No
2015 was wild... nobody would care now
Even after all these years I still get goosebumps and tears in my eyes watching you sit down and sigh and say it and tear up, it’s such a powerful moment
27,402 people tried to like the video with their monitor upside down.
Ash M TRUTH!
So realll
***** But they weren't so...
Ash M That is actually so sad...
Ash M no i disliked because this is all for attention, nobody here should give a fuck if she is gay
everyone is like "wow i would have never guessed," bruh, do you think all lesbians look like or act the same way, they are just people
***** To this statement I say, take a look at Bruce Jenner. He was living a secret life. There's a ton of people that have had long term relationships. Especially when you look back decades ago. People have lived secret lives due to being discriminated against, fear of being rejected, harmed, etc.
also, youtubers don't put all of themselves on youtube or in the social media sphere, there is a lot that fans wouldn't know, and she says that a lot of her close friends were like 'yeah, i sort of knew'
TOMANDJERRYRAN2GETHE Caitlyn/Bruce likes women though
noooo... practically none of us knew here. not everyone thinks that. so when someone says, " i never wouldve guessed", that means the exact same thing as, "i didnt know". but not all of us just assumed she was straight.
I could never guess but you're not always supposed to :)
Aw my heart melted as well! I Love when we can feel so comfortable being transparent and just ... OURSELVES! It’s beautiful!
this video changed my life permanently back in the day
You go glen co co! No but seriously, such a surprise but so happy for you, must be such a good feeling 👏🏻
Maqi cals Can she do what she want to do ? So if you just comment on something you are fishing for subscribers ?
BRITTNEYLEESAUNDERS I love you!
BRITTNEY! ahh I love you lol and I love when the CZcamsrs I like watch each other lol
Hey Brittney!
Everything is going to be okay Ingrid love your videos
Its sad how when Tyler, Shane, and Joey came out there was nothing negative that many people said. But now that its a girl it's a problem? 😔
Society can be cruel 😞
It's not that she's a girl it's you can tell it's fake.
+nicole smith Hahaha that's so funny. OMG what if that was true? lol.
And CONNOR

I remember watching this when it released. I hadn’t realized I was gay yet; I knew I liked girls, but continued to date guys because “at least i’m not miserable!”
7 years later, so much of Ingrid’s story mirrors mine🏳️🌈
Same !
Same! I was so happy for her when she released this.
watching this again and tearing up. happy pride!
OMG Ingrid Congrats!! This is so amazing for you to do this! Welcome to the Family!!❤️🌈
😀😀
Ambers Closet LMFAO! "Welcome to the family" >>>>
Welcome to the Club.. Xx
Omg!!! Amber I love you
OMG AMBER
What is really important and amazing to me is that Ingrid is somewhat representing a huge issue in the lesbian community, and that is feminine invisibility. Ingrid is a huge influential person that I believe will help shed light on feminine lesbians like myself, and change the social perspective of a "typical lesbian". Being feminine and gay can be really hard and I think its very brave and amazing that Ingrid found the courage to finally express her sexuality! Saying someone doesn't look gay is extremely offensive because there is no one look! Be open to the possibility and reality that a girl can be feminine and gay! Congratulations Ingrid!
Lyndsey Newton Wish I could thumbs-up this to the top. Being feminine and gay (And being into feminine women) is a weird concept to a lot of people for some reason.... I'm a girl, I want to be like a girl, and I like girls, because they're like girls. Shocking I know...!
Lyndsey Newton I think by feminine you simply mean a woman who does makeup and has long hair.
Gay people look gay due to bone structure and how they dress and do their hair. Most lesbians who are scared of "looking" like lesbians such as this girl, have naturally long hair and are too scared to cut it off and some eventually do.
I think she looks like Ellen Page and I think Ellen Page looks like a boy, and she doesn't look very "feminine" because her lips aren't bright pink like this girls, who is wearing a MASK to try to cover her natural traits that probably make her look like a lesbian (such as her larger face and jawline). And she is quite likely doing it FOR THAT REASON.
You must be blind if you can''t spot them or their similarities. NOBODY is surprised that Kirsten Stewart is dating a woman for example. Similarly, nobody would be surprised if or maybe WHEN the guy came out. ALSO, his freaking new girlfriend looks like a full on lesbian! Maybe it's to cover for him...
ranoutofeyeballs What. Bone structure? Gay girls are just girls... Some prefer to be / look boyish, that's fine. Some of us don't. Just because some high-profile examples as you made are easy to "spot" doesn't mean all are. You've probably walked right past or looked at various gay people and never known.
Sounds to me like you have a need to justify something to yourself.... Leave that to yourself, no need to preach to others.
As a gay woman myself, I dress and look like any other average woman. Because that's what I am.
ranoutofeyeballs know what where the hell did you get that information. just because you are lesbian does not mean that you automatically want to look "lesbian" or boyish. there is NO way to look lesbian. lesbian is your sexual identity, it has nothing to do with bone structure or how you do your hair. sure some lesbians do that, but there are lesbians who look girly or feminine like ingrid. educate yourself dude.
Er, if you read my post again I think you'll find that I clearly stated I was NOT a lesbian. I went out of my way to make sure people knew whether I was speaking from that point of view or not.
I also did not say they wanted to. I said of those who do. Generally, please just learn to read. I said that most lesbians HAPPEN TO LOOK boyish from BONE STRUCTURE. It doesn't matter if they want it or not. I am also fully aware of what you call girly lesbians, but sorry, I am not a lesbian and I wear no makeup... what does that make me? Are you saying that I look like a boy because I don't wear makeup?
i prefer not to label (at least as of now) because i think love is love and it doesn’t need to be limited to me. been confused for a long time and i always come back to watch this for advice. i love this and ur story ❤️❤️❤️🌈
seeing this video when i was 13 changed my life, thank u ingrid i love u

Ashley Mardell Ashley
+Lewis omg same!
I came here after watching Ashley's channel as well. It's the first time I've seen anything of Ingrid's, but this video made me want to give her a standing ovation and earned her a new subscriber.
THIS MADE ME CRY I AM SO PROUD OF YOU
This is so moving, I don't often actually cry but you are so brave
Omg! Me tooo!
Same
Eve Bennett OMG YOU'RE SO FUCKIN GAY
I love and support you Ingrid❤️💕
When I came out/ told my friend that I had a crush on a girl her first reaction was that she was jealous that I didn’t have a crush on her and that I had a crush on somebody else😂😂😂
Ok thats super funny
I’m..
GAYYYY ❤️❤️🏳️🌈
Yea just saying that on the internet until I can finally get the courage to tell my family
Brianna Rafanan good luck ❤️
Same
How could any girl be gay????! what's goin on
Tall Fish Cause everyone’s taste is different.
@@tallfish8412 girls can be gay too
I NEVER comment on your videos... This may be my first time. But Ingrid, I've been a fan of your videos for all 6 years you've been on youtube. I'm 20 now.. So since I was 14 years old! You were one of the reasons I had started my beauty channel many years ago when I wanted to give it a go (it is a graveyard now but that's irrelevant - haha!)
I just want you to know how incredible it was to see you come out and tell your story in one of the most polite and beautiful ways possible. The respect you will gain from your online friends has just gone through the roof. The acceptance we all have for you shouldn't even have to be vocalized but because the internet can be an ugly place I'm saying it anyway..
Be you - as it is truly the best form of yourself. And as the hate comments begin roll in, remember how much the 3 million subscribers you've built in half a decade just adore you. Including myself!
Much love Ingrid.
I agree girl 🙏💯
Well said!
Well said and so true!
And i subscribed to your channel few weeks ago and i think your channel is great :) I love how you inspire and motivate many people to start to workout and start a healthylifestyle. Thank you for that! We almost have same name by the way haha
Jazmine Garcia whoah! hi there
***** oh hey :D
Am I the only one rewatching this or😅
Nope me too😂
Same
yeye
***** ik i was trying to be funny but i have a strange sense of humor....oml idk what i was thinking
Me for like the 100th time
I watched this 2 years and a half ago when i was suicidal, sad and closeted. Now I'm back and out. People like her helped me a lot through my journey. If it wasn't for her and other gay youtubers i might have been dead by now. Litterally saved my life.🌈
This video came out long before I knew who I was. I remember watching with curiosity: “how could she be gay? She’s so pretty... so normal. That’s weird. I’m not like that...” A year after this was posted I had my first real crush. And it was on a girl. It terrified me but it was exhilarating at the same time. Years after I found out she liked me too, for whatever that’s worth. It took me until around a month and a half ago to come out. 3 weeks ago I met a girl at a party and now we’re hanging out almost every day and planning on becoming official soon. This video was really my introduction to the idea that girls could like girls and be normal. My own internalized homophobia had me set on the idea that lesbians were predatory and weird. I’m finally in a place where I’m really happy. I’m done putting on a mask and pretending to be someone I’m not. I’m going into my senior year of highschool and it’s going to be so fire I can just feel it.
This video made me sad, not because you're gay, but because we are still living in a society were people have repress their true selves this much. I congratulate you on coming out and hope you live a wonderful life with a beautiful girl that is everything you want in a partner.
Bless☝️🙌
Roberts Yes!!! and still people dont get why she is crying!
Dear anyone who is saying; "why did you make this video? I'm not gonna make a video saying I'm straight, will I?" Stop comparing those things, because you will NEVER understand how differently you are treated in society for being open about who you are. Have you ever been scared to hold the hand of someone you love in a public place? No? Then sit the fuck down. This is a HUGE deal for her, and many other people, and belittling people that feel this way just makes you out to be an asshole. This isn't a cry for attention; you may not understand this, but this helps people. Saves LIVES, even. Calling this "unnecessary" doesn't make you sound supportive, it makes you sound so SO ignorant. We have all grown up in an extremely heteronormative society. Watching the disney princess always ending up with the prince made me feel abnormal, and out of place, along with every other little thing in this world. Videos like this helped me when I was closeted, and they help A LOT of people who still are.
Excellent comment!
"Watching the Disney princess always ending up with the prince made me feel abnormal". Same here.
Tapiokapuddin YES my thoughts exactly! Last night I went through these comments and everyone was saying crap like "no one cares that youre gay, you just made a big deal for attention" and a whole other shit like that and this comment summed up my thoughts on all those comments. People clearly just dont understand how she and other lgbt people feel and they go around acting like they do. Thank you so much for your comment :)
Accurate
Preach. 👐
2017-Ew, i'm not gay
2018-I'm Bi
2019-I'm a full time gay
2020- Yasss queen
XD me too
This is the best coming out video on CZcams! Someone had to have the courage to do this. We definitely need more people to come out publicly on CZcams because lgbt people need rolemodels. Especially lgbt people who are chicano, mixed-raced, etc. Once again, she is so courageous for doing this!
This made me tear up 😢 I'm so happy you can now live a free life and feel fully present of each moment. Everyone deserves it. It must have been extremely difficult to hold that all in. I really admire your bravery ❤️ Congrats Ingrid.
Ann love you !!!!!!
Youre comment was perfect 😘 and true and wise 😍
I love you Ann! And I completely agree with you. Ingrid is amazing, and she deserves nothing more than to be happy. :D
I love you Ann!! Yes i agree It must been so hard to do this but finally you did it. We are all weird and it's important to love ourselves.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
👍👍
GREAT video, Ingrid. Your love and generosity shine through as always. -John
***** Came here from YOU, John!!! I've subscribed to this beautiful human!!!
***** Good for you Ingrid Nilsen. Congrats
it's so good to hear someone say it. makes me feel not alone :)
The same person who once said "I can do whatever I want" says I cannot be in love with a man. I feel bad for her. Being sucked into social conformity and wanting to be a homosexual.
***** Being a homosexual is a mindset promoted by negative culture. If she didn't wan't to be she cans top. This is a fact proven by the nature of male and female genitalia. If you're not a brainwashed homosexual yourself, you know in your heart it's wrong to be one. The only reason you oppose me is because you, much like the gays,want to be accepted by popular culture and society. I don't know of a way you can intelligently respond to me with facts, but give it a try.
It makes me feel so much more normal to watch this and realize my feelings aren’t unusual
I watch these videos in hopes that one day I can truly show who I am to the world and not have to hide it any more. (I sorta came out in school like most of my teachers know my real name but I’m still soo scared of the people that are close to me finding out because they would walk away from me it’s scary to be hated by someone you love because of shit you can’t control)
