@@lordnikon6809You're projecting so hard it's depressing. It's pretty obvious that no one knew except my parents. Please let your ego settle down and stop thinking you know everything about every one.

I am lucky and proud to be born in an accepting family who are proud of me. What THE HELL IS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT BEING GAY? CAN'T WE ALL JUST LIVE IN PEACE AND HARMONY?! 🤘🏻😡 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Your story is very heart touching. Remember one thing that if you are right don't be afraid of anything and anyone because God is always with you and and pray and believe in God. God bless you 💐
Hi ... just seeing your vlog now. My heart breaks for you. Noone should have to go through what you experienced. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully this will help other youths. Hopefully, you are in a much better place now. You deserve it. Please post again ... I would like to hear.
That's basically very simple to answer: Martens had en ideal image in their head of what their son or daughter should be or do in life, without thinking that that person has or will have when their adults, has a mind of his own... And from people born and raised in the beginning of the last century who witnessed first and second war, they just lack the ability to understand that not just material things evolve and advance, but that lifestyle do that too and they want to hang on desperately to that mental image, that is their world. I speak out of experience with my parents and grandparents. It doesn't makes it all right, but I understand from where lack and inability to accept that someone can be different than you (not speaking race or anything else) and have a different sexual desire, comes from.
This stuff tends to happen when there isn't a good family in place. Love your kids enough to look past the outside. This "gay" or "Trans" thing isn't going away
That’s a tough story to hear, sounds like an awful situation to be in. Glad to hear your dad has come around. Your mom sounds like a great person, schizophrenia is such a hard illness to live with.
So sorry you had to go through that my grandson is gay and we accept him the way he is 101% I have his back you be who you are God loves you no matter what God bless you ❤️❤️❤️
This brought a tear to my eye. I, too, was thrown out of my home by my parents. In the year prior, I started dating an older guy I met through college. We were going to gay clubs a few times a week. My parents were suspicious, my friends curious. I had 2 friends I met through my first job. We used to be together almost every weekend, until I suddenly “had other plans”. I discussed it with the guy I was dating. He thought it was a risk to come out to them. I wanted to be honest, so one night I asked one of them over. She was a very beautiful girl, we were the same age. I couldn’t get the words out. She said “John, do you want me to start? Are you gay?”. I was in shock. Then she said “it’s o.k. Because Cathy and I are too”. I thought I was going to pass out. I told her about who I was seeing, and the clubs he’d taken me too. Then we called Cathy, she was away at college. We talked forever. Cathy was coming home the next weekend, they had never been to a gay nightclub and wanted me to take them and introduce my boyfriend. We had a great time, they both liked my b.f., and the evening was a success. Over the next year, our lives changed. Then everything came to a screeching halt. My folks came home from their yacht club one Sunday. My mother looked angry. She was trying to antagonize me. They she blurted out the question every gay teen dreads, “John, are you gay?”. I tried to tell her what I was going through. Then my folks started screaming at me. “You’ve got 30 minutes to pack what you want, leave your house and car keys on the kitchen table, and get OUT!”. My head was spinning. I ran up stairs, opened my suitcase and tried to pack what I thought I’d need. I went down stars, left my keys, and slammed the door behind me. I called my b.f. from a pay phone. He drove as fast as he could. When we got back to his house, I exploded into tears. He hugged me for what seemed like forever. In the middle of the night I woke up. His nose was pressed up against mine, his eyes were open. I asked “what are you doing?”, he answered, “I just wanted to see if you were o.k.”. The tears started again. I’ll f.f a bit. My b.f. didn’t want a live in situation, so after a few months, I moved. For the next 4 years I couch surfed, never finding a real home. During that time, I went to the funerals of 2 b.f.’s. I decided to see a shrink. It helped. After my regular Thursday appointment, I used to take my self out to dinner. I had to start being good to ME. Then it happened. I was day dreaming, walking around Tiffany’s. Wishing for a watch, or a beautiful ring. Someone tapped me on my shoulder. I turned around and a guy with dark brown hair, eyes and a moustache smiled at me. “See any thing you like?”. I thought, who the hell is screwing with me? He introduced himself, and asked me to join him for a drink. We sat and laughed, and talked until closing. We exchanged numbers. I thought, well that was nice. The following Monday I was at my folks for dinner.............. yes, we made up. I was helping my mom when I got a call. It was Matt asking if he could take me to dinner. Anywhere I’d like to go. I told him I was having dinner with my folks and asked for a rain check. He sounded disappointed. My mom asked who it was. When I told her, she picked up the phone and told me, you don’t turn down an invitation like that. We talked the night away again. On our way out, he picked up a menu. I asked what he wanted with it. He smiled and said “in 10 years, we might want to remember tonight”. I laughed at him, nervously. Fast forwarding again, that night was 32 years ago. We can’t believe we’ve been together this long. We’ve been through a lot together. When I ask him why he picked me, he always says the same thing, “because you make smile”. I know I’m lucky, I have to watch when I say I like something because most times within a week, he’s gotten it for me. When we bought our first house, he let me pick it out. Everything was going wonderfully until 5 years ago. I wasn’t feeling well. After months of seeing doctors, I checked into a hospital for exploratory surgery. When I woke up, Matt was sitting next to me holding my hand. I asked how was everything. A tear started rolling down his cheek. He said “it’s cancer”. I lost it, he lost it. I started treatment right away. It included a 2 month hospital stay. I ve never fully recovered. It’s been hard, but I still know I’m lucky. Matt gets a large bonus check every Christmas. Every Christmas Eve, we visit the gay youth home charity shop. We leave a good part of his bonus for the kids staying there. I know it’s hard, but I hope all of you know i told this story because it WILL get better. Be true to yourself, be good to yourself because you deserve it. I wish you all love and peace.
John, what a beautiful post. Very disappointing at the end. It's funny how you met but one thing puzzles me-why did you give him your parent's phone number? I'm assuming you did not live with them.
@@jerrylee8261, it was a weird situation. At that time I was living with a roommate, a fellow waiter who lived in an old house, not far from where I worked. He did not have a phone, but said if I wanted to install one, it was o.k. if I did. I was suspicious why someone 10 years older than me didn’t have a phone. It wasn’t too hard to figure out. So I would give out my folks number and they would always check with me at work if I had any calls, which wasn’t too often because I work almost all the time.
@@ATLcentury334 You have puzzled me again.😊About phone-What did you mean by-It wasn't too hard to figure out? Sure is hard for me.😊 I haven't figured it out yet. Sounds kinda sinister.
@@jerrylee8261, if a grown man in his 30’s doesn’t have a phone, that means it was probably disconnected because he didn’t pay the bill. I wasn’t going to get in that roommate mess that I’d had quite a few times.
.. the society itself can be very cruel and very often the worst of people, the ones judging all the others are the ones not knowing themselves at all.. and how can a person call him/herself a parent if turning his/hers back on the child of his/hers own blood.. that kind of a person isn't even human and shouldn't even be accepted as a member of the society.. .. this brave guy seen here shows his heart being pure like his soul as well.. we do need more good guys like him in this world..
Wow, congratulations on coming out. Tough decision, but glad you got that weight off your shoulders. You are a stunningly handsome young man. Now live life, follow your dreams. Be happy.

Because there is a difference between rejecting homosexual conduct and rejecting homosexual people. The Bible tells Christians to be respectful of all kinds of people. (1 Peter 2:17) But that does not mean that Christians must accept all kinds of conduct. choose to live by the moral code set forth in the Bible. They do not approve of the actions that the Bible prohibits. But they neither mock nor mistreat people whose practices differ from their own.

Claiming it is something that has good reasons to be prohibited is already mocking and mistreating them, stop trying to play the tolerant person, you are doing the opposite.
@@ainoncheng4377 No, I would not if that conduct was more than simply subjectively distasteful, I would not accept it if it actually had a negative impact on at least one person. But in case you didn’t notice, your opinion of what is distasteful is not enough to disapprove of something. Who does « homosexual conduct » harm and what does that expression even mean ? You said « regardless of gender », so you seem to realize there is nothing exclusive to homosexuals.
@@ainoncheng4377 No, it would not be enough, because 1) you did not prove god exists and 2) even if you did, you would have to prove he does indeed find it distasteful and finally 3) he, like you, would need to give his reasons why something being distasteful is reason enough to forbide anything.
