    I was a university student living at home and got kicked out soooooo it wasn't the best of reactions. It was a real struggle to keep my life together but I think I did well considering. I get really happy when I see parents accept their kids on here it's wonderful to see open minded people that care so deeply for their children. xoxoxo everyone be strong. Be good to yourself.

      That's terrible man but I better your a much better person from the experience

    Your father brought up a very important point. Too many "coming out" folks expect an IMMEDIATE reaction and the person receiving the important information has no time to react or get his/her head around what the person is being told. You gotta give it time". Good video as always.

      Thanks man yeah that's what I liked both of these videos with my mom and dad they both had two different coping methods

    That seemed a really honest conversation. Great to hear it from your father's perspective.

      @Courtney-Jai  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah it was a nice conversation to have we don't talk about very often

    It was so difficult coming out to my dad as well, I just remember sitting in my room all day trembling with my heart feeling like it was stuck in my throat before I did it.

    • @Courtney-Jai
      @Courtney-Jai  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah I physically couldn't speak is never been through that before

    I really appreciate the honest interaction between this kid and his dad. His reaction is honest, I'm not unhappy about it, I'm not happy about it, but I am happy that you are happy. Priceless.

    Your father was AWESOME!!! He was having a very hard time keeping composed, but he stayed right by your side all through the video. He deserves a round of applause and a standing ovation.

    Oh my goodness. This is so adorable. You're dad is actually so cute🙈 and quite handsome hehe 😜

    Your dad is such a cool amazing guy, it's clear he loves you so much. I came out as Gay when I was 13, unfortunately my dad passed away b4 I could tell him, but my mum, the rest of my family and friends were so amazing and supportive. I think ur videos are outstanding and prophetic and I wish u all the love and success in everything you do xx

    • @Courtney-Jai
      @Courtney-Jai  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Lawson Gavin that's sad to hear about your dad but its great to hear our family is amazing about it

    • @lawsonvaughan5439
      @lawsonvaughan5439 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks I think when we have such loving and supportive family and friends as you and I clearly do it makes the whole process of coming out so much easier and less stressful, your videos are so amazing and inspirational I hope you go on forever xx

  • @kylesaxman1
    @kylesaxman1 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's great to see you finally do this video with your dad. In many families, it always seems like it's much harder for the dad to accept their child's coming out than it is for the mother. It's great that both of your parents are cool about it. There are so many people who cannot accept their gay or bisexual child.

  • @dennisdman11

    Definitely one of the better, more useful coming out videos. Had me crying in joy. Thanks to the awesome dad for his honest participation. You are both so lucky.

    • @Courtney-Jai

      I'm very happy that you liked the video

  • @olivermorgan9479
    @olivermorgan9479 ปีที่แล้ว

    As a bisexual Dad, i understand your father’s POV. Coming out is not just about what we need to say. It is also about how those close to us deal with the fallout. Perhaps giving him time/space to tell those around him would have been better.

  • @OLDS98
    @OLDS98 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Courtney: Thank you for sharing your father and his experience. I do understand why you cried and ran away. It is about you coming to terms with who you are as a person. I can appreciate your father and how he handled things. He is supportive and you are very fortunate. You really are your father's son. You look so much like him. He had some sound advice too.

    Your father is so cute haha, you can tell he's a bit camera shy. But he seems very loving and understanding. It was a great video!

    • @Courtney-Jai
      @Courtney-Jai  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      He's a good dad and it was awkward to film I think if I did an updated version it would be completely different

  • @garygary9310
    @garygary9310 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I wanted to say your so lucky you told your parents and they accepted you. I never told my parents and now it's to late there both passed. I feel bad I didn't tell them...anyway you seem like a well adjusted young man and your parents should be VERY PROUD of YOU!!!! I enjoy all your videos by the way.

    @Nick-im3sm 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lovely conversation!! I hope it helps those who dread coming out or are dealing with any problems in life.. Typically, your parents want you to be happy no matter what. Don't rush it though, do it as you feel comfortable!

    • @Courtney-Jai
      @Courtney-Jai  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah I always found talking to your parents about coming is always the hardest part for anyone so I don't youth if I could give some insight maybe it might help those who need it most

      @connectoalexx3950 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Courtney-Jai Not too good i guess, i got kicked out for a week when i came out to my mum. i know that's not a very long time, but it still hurt alot. and yeah that's my coming out experience kinda

    • @Courtney-Jai

    Coming out Bisexual my mom did not care but honestly I was expecting (hoping) for the worse. My dad die before I could tell him which I was going to use to hurt him (we had a problematic relationship) he was always around just not close to me. When I was 22 I found out my brother was gay which was shock but again no one care we love you(the person) because we know you.

  • @nexttsar
    @nexttsar 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is your dad part Indian? It is also worth saying that most boys and dads don't have much depth of conversation, sadly. Does your dad feel that to be a "man's man" one has to be straight?

    • @Courtney-Jai

    hi. I was just curious: what happened with One World Apart? And random question: do you miss working with sexy Sebastian? I know: real random.

    • @Courtney-Jai
      @Courtney-Jai  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm still quite close with sebby we talk all the time and yeah I miss the boys the channel fell apart because people were missing videos and people were putting effort into videos that weren't being watched so we decided to end it

    • @DerekMckean
      @DerekMckean 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Courtney-Jai Good move. I can understand how not meeting deadlines is not a profitable thing. I think you made the right decision - to terminate the channel. Maybe someday you will be supplied with more workers to meet the demmand. So yes, it was a good business move.
      Can you and Sebastian make another video?
      P.S a profile of Sebastian Rhodes followed me on Google+ but I'm not sure if it's him since it only has MAINTAIN ads and maybe 1 or 2 videos . He's also dressed nice in the photo. I know sebastian has a Google+ with tons of youtube ads to his video. But I'm wondering if the guy who followed me with only 1 or 2 videos and MAINTAIN ADS is a fan google+
