I wish that there were Gay Cafes or Brunches instead of only bars. Sometimes we don't want to go to dark, sketchy, adult bars. It would be great because it could be a great space for LGBTQ youth as well.
Xavier Sage gay bars exist because mafia run spaces were the only places that gay people could be in at a time when being gay was illegal. the first riots were all at gay bars, and now it's time to move past it and get non alcoholic gay spaces (im saying gay as an umbrella term i guess, idk)
Elizzi Iver I'm currently studying catering and accounting in college and I'm actually planning on opening a lgbtqia+ cafe 😊. The only problem is I need a gay/baking related pun for a name and cant think of one 😟
Tyler, I am loving this series that you're doing! It's so amazing and inspirational to the LGBTQ+ community and it's really helpful to people who aren't in the community to understand it more! Keep up the amazing work! Love you and NZ misses you!
One problem I have with mainstream gay culture (which I might actually do a video on someday) is the obsessive focus on sex and promiscuity. It seems that so many pride events and forms of gay media praise hookup culture in a way that often feels unhealthy. Don't get me wrong: I'm not here to slut shame. Having sex is natural and hooking up can be fun. Plus with sexuality being the focus of these conversations it needs to be talked about. I just can't help but feel that simply expecting gays to be super sexually active and perpetuating that stereotype as the norm does a lot of harm to gay youth. Especially the ones exploring sex for the first time and even more so for the ones growing up in conservative areas without access to proper sex Ed.
like other commenters mentioned, it excludes the youth from the community and I feel like discussing and representing these things in a more responsible and positive way is really important for queer youth to see.
This was exactly what I was thinking! As a bi person the comments I hear a lot from strangers is asking then if I just want to sleep with anyone, how much I must live orgies, and that I would be perfect for theesomes. I say that is absolutely not true. I am fairly conservative in my sexual expression because that’s just another aspect of who I am. I’m lucky that I’ve had decent sex ed but I’m still not a promiscuous person. Sexual orientation deals with attraction not our actions and I feel this gets lost a lot of the time and thus makes it harder for some in the lgbtq+ community to be taken seriously.
I found out I was Pan not to long ago and I know my family doesn't approve of bi like things and the people at my school find it disgusting and it's just kinda frustrating knowing that people will feel disappointed in you and it makes you feel trapped. it just makes me really happy to see videos like this because it makes me feel good about myself and let's me know that their are others out their who are having the same struggles and are helping each other out of them. Thank you Tyler your an inspiration.
dude i'd love to see someone on the ace spectrum bc there's honestly just so many topics ace people can't relate to; maybe like evan edinger or ricky dillon or notjustblonde on yt idk how many more there are, but i'd appreciate seeing their perspective
I absolutely LOVE this series! It's something I can watch and find out more about the amazing community that I am proud to be apart of. And I SO hope Tyler continues this because I feel like it is a wonderful way to learn! Thank you Tyler for being you and I hope you have a wonderful day!
Tyler I love what you are doing with this. I think that it makes people realize that this could or couldn't hurt people. You are showing in this video that people could come together and make it one of the most fun things ever. You are opening stuff up to the public, and it is something that they need to now. Thank you!
This was great. My favorite bit was the discussion of changes you all would like to see in the LGBT+ community. I personally would love to see you and Dylan collaborate again on another project in the near future.
I love this Community, they have made me so happy. I went from this kid who didn't smile, laugh and is depressed to an older version of that kid who laughs and smiles at almost everything. I'm just so happy in this community
I think this has definitely been my favorite one in the series so far. There were a lot of statements made that were very relatable in different ways. I'm glad Tyler is doing this and hopefully keeps doing this long beyond pride month.
Tyler I am just LOVINGGG these videos so much! They connect to so many people, including myself and I hope many other people see this series :) you are such an inspiration!
tyler, thank you so so so much for developing this series. i am really young (13) and just watching this series and watching you and other lgbtqa+ icons has helped me so much to come in terms to my sexuality and learning about different sexualities that maybe some people didn't have. i appreciate it so much. thank you i love you. -bia
This reminds me of the dinner party conversations Chelsea Handler has on her show (Chelsea). They are my favorite segment on her show, so in turn, I loved this Tyler! (I'm not saying you're copying her!! It's just similar) :) Loved this video!
If I had seen content like this when I was a teenager my life would've been VERY different. Thank you so much for using your platform like this, it will help so many people all over the world
As Demisexual, I felt so happy when the lady said LGBTQ *A* + because we asexuals are so ignored in the community, that we sometimes feel like we are our own thing It just made me smile :)
As a part of the lgbt youth, your videos are super awesome and help me a bunch with accepting myself. I love all of your videos with a PASSION. Thank you for being here for my friends and I, and everyone else, too.
In terms of what kids are exposed to in high school My APUSH talked more than just a sentence about stonewall and the LGBT+ movement and I also did a presentation at he end of the year about it. Also my friend and I are working on starting LGBT+ sex Ed in health classes because right now it's only information about straight cis sex.
Tyler all this idea for the Chosen Family series is so important and sooo good. I'm really enjoying watch it. And i loved to meet all you guests i think i have more channels to subscribe to. I loved Kyle!
This was a super great video and as a queer teen/young adult it's so important to have other people who've experienced similar things talk openly about those things. So thank you all
thank you for this video. it has made me feel more comfortable with the un answerd questions iv had and when my familey members spoke to me about my sexuality and whats going on i was able to show them this video to help them understand what its like and how things feel. this series is amazing and i think is the sort of stuff we all need in the world. thank you Tyler
You are a genuine inspiration to me, also your messages to us have caused me to re-think how I think. Proof that YES you can teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks Tyler.
I literally love the LGBTQ+ brunch, it's honest open discussion, where people from different cultures and worlds come together and have different points of view, come together and discuss the community. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This should be a format that all kinds of people straight or not should do to break the stereotypes about the LGBTQ+ community. They are all just like us, they deserve love and respect.
Emmy_2003_ Shane would be interesting because he's come to terms with his sexuality quite late in adult life in comparison to these guests, whom I believe for the most part all came out in their teens/early 20's. Shane also had quite a dark upbringing so it would be interesting to see how that may have shaped his relationship with his sexuality.
OMG Tyler! You just made my day :) My favorite bi youtuber is MissFenderr. You should look her up. She makes great content about how a bi person doesn't quite feel accepted in a straight community or gay community and how they are always defined based on who they are in a relationship with at the time.
I would love for this to become a regular occurrence. There are still so many things that need to be discussed and I loved that there was a lot of representation throughout.
Since this community is so loving and supportive, I was wondering if anyone could help me with my current situation. I've known that I am bi for about a year now, and I feel ready to come out, but my parents are very religious and I feel that if I told them they might overreact to it. I know that my friends will love me for it, but eventually my parents would hear the news through them. I keep running through my head the right time or place to do it, but so far I've held it off out of fear of rejection. Should I just stay in the closet until I move out in a few years, or should I tell them and see what they say? I'm open to any advice from you guys and girls; you feel like my best friends and I think you'll help me make my decision.
Last name First name I guess I wanted them to know because I respect them, but you're right, when it comes down to it I should do what makes me happy. It's my life and I shouldnt have to live it hiding and pretending to be someone else. Thank you so much for the advice! :D
hoshidan piglet if you feel like telling your parents puts your safety at risk, don't tell them. Perhaps bring up the subject and see their reaction, like eg one of your classmates is gay or something (make it up?). Your safety is of the most importance:) you could wait a few more years unless you get a partner and want to tell them them rather than coming out first? please be careful and look after yourself :) hugs from a fellow bi :)
i'm disappointed that this "lgbtq+ roundtable chat" is actually an "lggggt roundtable chat." you speak a lot about inclusion, and i would have appreciated better representation of other parts of the community. we're all in this together! ❤️
Some of these are deep questions and I love that youtubers that are so big in popularity come out so openly 💖 People ask where's the love...this is where it's at
Kaitlynn Baker THANK YOU omg I've been scrolling through the comments for AGES trying to find someone who doesn't like kat being here either. I saw some of her videos and also people's responses to her video and she's just... yikes :// I love everyone else in this video tho
I love hearing Dylan speak, he has so much to offer and I think he really provokes thought out of everyone. 10/10 would love to see Dylan (and everyone else tbh) on an episode of Psychobabble
I've been really confused and scared about my sexuality and coming out lately and watching your videos actually bring me to tears❤️ you make me feel so supported and accepted😭❤️
Thank you so much for letting us be a part of this series, Tyler! Your content is simply amazing ❤️
💗 love you
THANK YOU FOR JOINING KING!! you're a fave.
such an amazing video!!
Kingsley I will definitely say I love your smile😘
That Degrassi comment killed me!
I wish that there were Gay Cafes or Brunches instead of only bars. Sometimes we don't want to go to dark, sketchy, adult bars. It would be great because it could be a great space for LGBTQ youth as well.
Xavier Sage Agreeeeed. A gay café sounds so lovely!
Xavier Sage I do genuinely wonder if alcoholism is more common in the LGBT community because our spaces are mostly alcohol related
Cishets wouldn't allow it to remain an LGBT space.
in Costa rica there's a LGBTQIA+ restaurant/cafe and it's such an amazing place and I truly love it
Xavier Sage gay bars exist because mafia run spaces were the only places that gay people could be in at a time when being gay was illegal. the first riots were all at gay bars, and now it's time to move past it and get non alcoholic gay spaces (im saying gay as an umbrella term i guess, idk)
This was SO fun to watch omg
Ben J. Pierce Yasss Ben J!!!!
THANKS BENNY
There should be LGBTQIA+ cafe tbh
Elizzi Iver I think it would be great for younger LGBTQ+ community
Elizzi Iver I'm currently studying catering and accounting in college and I'm actually planning on opening a lgbtqia+ cafe 😊. The only problem is I need a gay/baking related pun for a name and cant think of one 😟
Kai McCabe hmm I can't either
Gay Bae-king (I really am bad at this)
Kai McCabe Café au Gay
Tyler, I am loving this series that you're doing! It's so amazing and inspirational to the LGBTQ+ community and it's really helpful to people who aren't in the community to understand it more! Keep up the amazing work! Love you and NZ misses you!
thanks ashleigh!! appreciate the support.

Nathan Rooney really good point . hope this gets noticed.
PREACH
Nathan Rooney yh!so true

I found out I was Pan not to long ago and I know my family doesn't approve of bi like things and the people at my school find it disgusting and it's just kinda frustrating knowing that people will feel disappointed in you and it makes you feel trapped. it just makes me really happy to see videos like this because it makes me feel good about myself and let's me know that their are others out their who are having the same struggles and are helping each other out of them. Thank you Tyler your an inspiration.
Hey Tyler, can you do a history lesson on LGBTQ+ history cause none of our schools teach it and we need to know this stuff!!! Thanks!
Izzah Yousuf I totally agree! 🙈💖
I need friends like this... or just friends... I need friends
Angel Trejo i feel you, i'm about to enter college without a group and friends.
dude i'd love to see someone on the ace spectrum bc there's honestly just so many topics ace people can't relate to; maybe like evan edinger or ricky dillon or notjustblonde on yt idk how many more there are, but i'd appreciate seeing their perspective
totally!!
appreciate u always
Seeing an ace person on one of these collabs would be amazing I think I would actually cry
Be the change you wish to see
There's something about hearing these conversations in this format that is so nice, friendly, and helpful. I love it, and I love you Tyler!
I cried watching this video I've never connected more to a group of people
I absolutely LOVE this series! It's something I can watch and find out more about the amazing community that I am proud to be apart of. And I SO hope Tyler continues this because I feel like it is a wonderful way to learn! Thank you Tyler for being you and I hope you have a wonderful day!
*SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO!*
❤💙💚💛💜
Tyler I love what you are doing with this. I think that it makes people realize that this could or couldn't hurt people. You are showing in this video that people could come together and make it one of the most fun things ever. You are opening stuff up to the public, and it is something that they need to now. Thank you!
An LGBTQ+ safe space for young people would be really amazing
I love how everyone was so open and non-judgmental. We need more people like this in the world
This was great. My favorite bit was the discussion of changes you all would like to see in the LGBT+ community. I personally would love to see you and Dylan collaborate again on another project in the near future.
I love this Community, they have made me so happy. I went from this kid who didn't smile, laugh and is depressed to an older version of that kid who laughs and smiles at almost everything. I'm just so happy in this community
Love you!! Theas videos are so important
How deeply and genuinely you all listen to each other is a lovely demonstration for the world. 💜
Would love to see another one! Dodie Clark form doddleoddle would be a good guest
Hannah has so much sincerity and apathy in her face when the others speak. She is so intensely supportive I love her
As pride month is coming to a close, would you ever consider doing a video about asexuality with an asexual friend?
sharkcaster wood Ummm, duhhhh. What do you think the Veteran's Day and Memorial Day holidays are for ?
I think this has definitely been my favorite one in the series so far. There were a lot of statements made that were very relatable in different ways. I'm glad Tyler is doing this and hopefully keeps doing this long beyond pride month.
Who wants a hella gay/chosen family collab?? Or just get Miles and Tyler together for a video?
Tyler I am just LOVINGGG these videos so much! They connect to so many people, including myself and I hope many other people see this series :) you are such an inspiration!
Luv u so much Tyler❤️💛💚💙💜💗💖💘💝💞💕❣️
I'm like highkey binging your videos right now and I just wanted to say thank you for having such consistently amazing captions/subtitles!!
Who is watching without socks on 💕💕
Thelittlelifeofkeira23 Wilson me
I never wear socks inside
I never wear socks in bed
it's too hot to wear socks in my case
Thelittlelifeofkeira23 Wilson I AM!!🙋🙋
tyler, thank you so so so much for developing this series. i am really young (13) and just watching this series and watching you and other lgbtqa+ icons has helped me so much to come in terms to my sexuality and learning about different sexualities that maybe some people didn't have.
i appreciate it so much.
thank you
i love you.

although i am straight, i love watching these videos bc the LGBTQ+ community is just amazing!
Your content is honestly great, Tyler. You should be so proud :)
This reminds me of the dinner party conversations Chelsea Handler has on her show (Chelsea). They are my favorite segment on her show, so in turn, I loved this Tyler! (I'm not saying you're copying her!! It's just similar) :) Loved this video!
If I had seen content like this when I was a teenager my life would've been VERY different. Thank you so much for using your platform like this, it will help so many people all over the world
I would've really likes to have seen some representation somewhere on the Asexual spectrum
Caden Marshall same, especially as a panromantic asexual myself
I and many others feel that asexual people aren't part of the community!
As Demisexual, I felt so happy when the lady said LGBTQ *A* + because we asexuals are so ignored in the community, that we sometimes feel like we are our own thing
It just made me smile :)
This was so fun to watch! You should definitely do one with Gigi Gorgeous and Connor Franta!
As a part of the lgbt youth, your videos are super awesome and help me a bunch with accepting myself. I love all of your videos with a PASSION. Thank you for being here for my friends and I, and everyone else, too.

Tyler all this idea for the Chosen Family series is so important and sooo good. I'm really enjoying watch it. And i loved to meet all you guests i think i have more channels to subscribe to. I loved Kyle!
Scott and Mitch, Ingrid, and Joey would be fun additions.
This was a super great video and as a queer teen/young adult it's so important to have other people who've experienced similar things talk openly about those things. So thank you all
YOU SHOULD COLLAB WITH MILES CHRONICLES!!!
I absolutely would love to see more Roundtables from you, Tyler! I loved this!
I would love to see an a-spec TH-camr on this LGBTQ+ Roundtable Chat if you do this again.
ummm I'm so upset that Hannah was cut off before she could say that Simba was voiced by Jonathan Taylor Thomas
I love how kyle breaks that stereotype of feminine gay guys aren't muscular.
Tyler this was amazing! Thanks for getting this awesome group of people together.
My mom started the GSA!
thank you for this video. it has made me feel more comfortable with the un answerd questions iv had and when my familey members spoke to me about my sexuality and whats going on i was able to show them this video to help them understand what its like and how things feel. this series is amazing and i think is the sort of stuff we all need in the world. thank you Tyler
Omg so funny, I love our family because we can understand what we had lived so that hep a lot. LOVE U TYLER❤️💛💚💙💜
You are a genuine inspiration to me, also your messages to us have caused me to re-think how I think. Proof that YES you can teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks Tyler.
someone tell Cecil that I found Carlos.
I'm disappointed that this is the only WTNV related commented I have found but thank you
Sarella Yess
OMG LOVE THIS! Was so disappointed it was this short! MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS PLEASE!!!
I saw this so I immediately went to grab my Air Head Rainbow Bites
I literally love the LGBTQ+ brunch, it's honest open discussion, where people from different cultures and worlds come together and have different points of view, come together and discuss the community. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This should be a format that all kinds of people straight or not should do to break the stereotypes about the LGBTQ+ community. They are all just like us, they deserve love and respect.
Thank You Tyler! :) Loved watching this and your right we could use more videos like these.
Kat Blaque YAAAAAAAAAAAS
This series has so much potential! Would love to see more episodes with even more perspectives and identities! :D
Maybe have superfruit in a future round table #fruitler oh and maybe Shane Dawson. I love all of them. Keep inspiring 😘
Emmy_2003_ Shane would be interesting because he's come to terms with his sexuality quite late in adult life in comparison to these guests, whom I believe for the most part all came out in their teens/early 20's. Shane also had quite a dark upbringing so it would be interesting to see how that may have shaped his relationship with his sexuality.
Emmy_2003_ I agree. I would like to hear and see Shane in a more serious situation talking about his bisexuality and growing up.
Thank you for making these series, they're very helpful and important too. I'm loving them!
Love you Tyler ❤💙💚💛💜
I wish Tyler Oakley was more inclusive of bi/asexual/intersex etc people in his content. He only discusses gay people and lesbians in his videos.
Totally hope to be!! Great feedback.
OMG Tyler! You just made my day :) My favorite bi youtuber is MissFenderr. You should look her up. She makes great content about how a bi person doesn't quite feel accepted in a straight community or gay community and how they are always defined based on who they are in a relationship with at the time.
Baby steps.
I would love for this to become a regular occurrence. There are still so many things that need to be discussed and I loved that there was a lot of representation throughout.
Kat Blaque!!! Loving this series so much 🌈
This was very nice to see and informative. The community still has a lot to learn and this series has been educational too. Thank you Tyler.
On the next round table can you please please have someone who identifies on the asexual spectrum!!
I could have watched a completely uncut version of this even if it was hours long. This was such a beautiful video.
Tyler Oakley, You're GAY and I'm proud of you!
Omg ahah it was so sophisticated and Tyler started yelling y'all! I couldn't stop laughing anyway I'll continue watching the vid aha
Since this community is so loving and supportive, I was wondering if anyone could help me with my current situation.

hoshidan piglet Why do you need to tell them ? Also if you care about your parents that much....you could always just date guys. Since your bi
Last name First name I guess I wanted them to know because I respect them, but you're right, when it comes down to it I should do what makes me happy. It's my life and I shouldnt have to live it hiding and pretending to be someone else. Thank you so much for the advice! :D
hoshidan piglet if you feel like telling your parents puts your safety at risk, don't tell them. Perhaps bring up the subject and see their reaction, like eg one of your classmates is gay or something (make it up?). Your safety is of the most importance:) you could wait a few more years unless you get a partner and want to tell them them rather than coming out first? please be careful and look after yourself :) hugs from a fellow bi :)
Bethany Field I think I'll give this a try and see how they feel, who knows? Maybe they'll support my "friend" on their decision! Thanks and hugs!
Dinner parties talking about topics are some of my favorite conversations to watch. Chelsea handler does them on her show and they are awesome.
Tyler you you should have Joey Graceffa as a guest.
I loved loved loved this!!!! Awesome work tyler!
Things that make me uncomfortable (in the community): The Ace Discourse™
Like fuck it, we're all part of the same community!
such a great, important and necessary conversation! thank you for doing this! also that food looked so good
instagram live sent me! i liked - alicekingmakeup
I would love to see more of the "lgbtqia+ roundtable chat" it's such a good way to communicate safely and casually and it's great to watch ❤❤❤❤
i'm disappointed that this "lgbtq+ roundtable chat" is actually an "lggggt roundtable chat." you speak a lot about inclusion, and i would have appreciated better representation of other parts of the community. we're all in this together! ❤️
Holly Ann tyler commented about making this come true, just be patient x)
This video was one of my favorites out of this series. Please do another one!!
you should do another one with Connor!
Some of these are deep questions and I love that youtubers that are so big in popularity come out so openly 💖 People ask where's the love...this is where it's at
Joey graccefa, Connor franta
Such a fascinating and fun conversation. I could listen to Kat Blaque and Dylan Marron all day! Thank you Tyler for this LGBTQ+ video series!
Not excited to see Kat here but I support you, boo
Kaitlynn Baker THANK YOU omg I've been scrolling through the comments for AGES trying to find someone who doesn't like kat being here either. I saw some of her videos and also people's responses to her video and she's just... yikes :// I love everyone else in this video tho
Kaitlynn Baker lol why bc she doesn't put up with white supremacy?
I would love to see more of this shoot! Please consider uploading a full version or some more clips!
i love u tyler i came from the live stream xxx u are an inspiration to everyone x @K.a.t.i.e.x
I love hearing Dylan speak, he has so much to offer and I think he really provokes thought out of everyone. 10/10 would love to see Dylan (and everyone else tbh) on an episode of Psychobabble
bring connor franta!!!!!!
I've been really confused and scared about my sexuality and coming out lately and watching your videos actually bring me to tears❤️ you make me feel so supported and accepted😭❤️
@JasmineGalarza12
The fact all of these questions are relatable!!! Love you Tyler!!!!!!!!
