- We wanted to share our coming out stories with you. It's always hard walking through the struggles we faced, but we feel it might be helpful to some of you who are conflicted with being gay or curious about what a gay person faces when coming out. As always, thank you for all the love and support you give our family and us. Much love to all of you.
Meet our family. We are Dustin and Burton, gay dads, and proud parents of our twins, Stone and Holland Buffaloe. We created our family vlog, "Raising Buffaloes," as a resource for all. We are an All American Family, who happen to be gay parents through surrogacy. On our channel, you will see videos of our family adventures and grasp what it's like to raise kids in the south as a gay couple. Our dad vlog captures our parenting and fatherhood journey, but you'll find much more. We open up about our coming out journey, relationship and marriage tips, and how to live life with a little more laughter. We use our voice to shed light and awareness to the LGBTQ+ community, gay rights equality, and opening eyes to others. Family has many definitions, and this is ours. We hope you subscribe and follow along our journey of raising our little Buffaloes.

Gotcha?
I am a 62 year old mother. My daughter came out to me when she was 14. I remember her crying so hard. I asked her what was wrong and she said she was afraid to tell me. I told her no matter what it was that it would be ok and that I would love her. So she finally told me she was gay. I said ok and gave her a big hug and told her that I l still loved her. She asked me why I wasn't mad at her. I told her you love who you love. Her and her wife live with me now and she is 36. I wish all parents would be excepting and supporting of their children when they come out to them. I have known many gay couples since my early 20's and have always been supportive. You love who you love!
love this so much! you're amazing!
sorry to be off topic but does anybody know a way to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot the account password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
I agree
"SHE WAS A GAY" then " HER AND HER WIFE"? Does it mean that He has a "wife" as in a "girl wife"? Sorry to ask I'm just a bit confuse... but I understand the love and acceptance you showed to your child, love it!
@@dummydumby1700 It actually say's her and her wife,,,
when burton cries .......it's already tears on dustin's eyes..... that is the true love.......... LOVE is LOVE
Literally i was also crying when the burton was crying i can't stop my tears ...love is love its just an example 😍😍😍
I love Holland sensing her daddies are sad and coming in trying to make you feel better. Her little sweet face, being so calm and putting her hand on your backs. She’s precious.
My uncle came out only when he was dying of AIDS. He fully expected rejection by the family. We all accepted him and supported him through the last difficult years of his life. Nobody should have to fear rejection from those who love them most. We’re all just people.
God bless ya always 🙏🙏🙏🙏
How did he get aids
I am a follower of Christ and I truly believe that God has brought you guys together (Mark 10:9). I believe that true love is beyond gender and that it's more about heart and soul and that's what I see in both you guys when I watch your videos of your family. I truly believe that being attracted to the same sex internally is not a mistake or a burden and that you are destined for Hell. I strongly disagree with that! God does have perfection and knew the plans for us when He created us. With that being said, Dustin is right. Having a desire to being with the same gender romantically is not a mistake from God. Be the child that He wants you to be. Let His Will be done
I read a very moving short story in a very unlikely place about a tormented gay teenager in a family of conservative Christians. They all go to some sort of revival, and from the very beginning, when his eyes meet those of the guest pastor, he knows he is seen and revealed. Toward the end of the story, at a traditional altar call, the guest pastor embraces the teenager and says to him, "God only gives good gifts!" Such a moment of love and acceptance!
Christ is love. There is much to understand concerning why the scriptures condemn homosexuality, but I certainly believe pure love abides here. This family teaches values of compassion and unity. God bless. XX
I'm 16. My parents are so conservative and I gave some little hints to them that I was gay and there were so mad at me so I changed the topic. But I came out to one of my friend and I feel happy about it. Some day wanna find my own pease in me. Thank you guys for giving me hope and love.
සිරාවටම ............
Did Burton just say he was almost forty? 😲 He looks so young! I'm baffled.
thanks :) 39, Dustin will be 41 next week.
Forty doesn't mean he is out of order! Forty is just a number.
@@RaisingBuffaloes you guys are looking so young... Happy family and lots of respect for what you are. from 🇮🇳🙏
@@RaisingBuffaloes age is just a number both r still youth
@@decraft2005 You are only as young as you feel, and I suspect that Dustin and Burton are feeling quite young and positive these days. Love them both.
I came out at age 10, with only a few gay role models in my life. I’m now 17, and living my life proudly. So happy to know that there’s always hope and new role models in this world! 🥰
Amazing
that's incredible. i so wish i could have done that when i was so young. could have had a normal time growing up.
I am 18 tomorrow. I can’t even imagine how you came out at the age of 10. I only realized I am gay when I was around 13 and struggled to understand that’s ok for quite a while. You must be a really brave person. I know zero gay person in real life and I am often in panic encountering homophobic comments and feel helpless. I hope in near future, I might come out like you did.
@@Sam-cs6hu come out as soon as possible, brother. every day in the closet is a day wasted for you to be your actual self. you're just holding your life back by staying in the closet.
@@IRGhost0 It’s scary given my parents have made some negative comment about being gay. That’s my primary concern. I came out to some close friends already.
Burton’s eyes are piercing
I love his eyes! So hot!
The amount of work that goes into those eyebrows must be staggering.

Being from an orthodox family I can imagine how terrifying it is to come out. Though I'm straight but one of my closest friend is gay and is struggling to come out. He constantly talks to me about how he feels as if he is not himself. When he came out to me he was crying and looking at him I could feel how important it was for him. We sat and talked about whatever he had in his mind and I told him that I will always be his best friend and support him no matter what. Your story truly touches my heart.
I pray all the power strength and happiness to both of you and your kids.
Lots of love ❤❤
I'm straight but this was so emotional I literally cried 😢u guys r amazing
Me too I love them guys
Me too...am still crying
Same here! I keep binge watching coming out stories and crying all over! Argh! If only people would just MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS! Live and let live and that's it! Why is it so hard for some people to understand something so simple? Anyway, great video and yes, of course it made me cry 😭❤️🏳️🌈
It feels sad coz I haven't came out yet and I'm 19 now. I'm scared to came out coz my parents are very religious Christians I just wanted to feel the freedom and being accepted 😢💔
Same 19 year old guy want to tell but cant bcoz I am scared I am not financial independent
Much love and respect for you guys from Saudi Arabia ! 🤍🏳️🌈 i'm a new subscriber and already loved your family and your channel ✨ have a nice day!
Thank you so much!!
dustin i could relate with on so many ways. burton you made me cry when you started to cry. it was different in the 70's and 80's but as a community we are so much better now as we fought for the right to have kids and marriage. your story shows that life can be all we dreamed it could be.
Mee too I love burt he made me cry too coming out to father is so scary !!
Thank you both so much for being the role models and inspiration that most of us never had when we were young! ❤️
Wow, thank you!
Well that's my situation right now, there's no dreams of happiness in my life because there's no one on my life yet , its hard to have a partner there's no way at all I just trying to be a good man nice and kind to every one even to people that bullying me or gate me till God takes me to his big house.
I enjoyed a Cristian Faith thinking that Jesus can take this gay filing a way fro me, yan make me a new straight guy , and I had really derp relationship with God and Christian people embraced me "love" me the first years then every changes cause they were realizing that I was kind of gay, then star bulling me in church, offended me and making me feel I don't belong there, so then my live goes down , so there's no friends, thetes no brothers in Christ there's no family so its so hard. Im no have the balls to take me life, because I know God loves me and Im good , but people are so hard to get along with.
@@xelzevach9292 Xel, I feel your pain and will pray for you. It is hard to be alone and rejected. You are right that Jesus does love you. If you want to be friends even if it is just through facebook. You can find me at Thomas Taylor Swansea SC. I am older but would love friends. I am lucky to have a family. God has blessed me with two beautiful girls. I hope to hear from you Oh my email is tptgamecock@hotmail.com.
@@tptgamecock thank you, I appreciated your sympathy and prayers, I need it. Thank you have a good night..!
@@xelzevach9292 same goes for me as well, if you need friends I'm a single trans my Facebook is Ashley D'Vine. I'd love to make new friends. And trust me I went through the same things and ended up in a very dark place that took years to come out of. So I totally understand. Hope to hear from you. Cheers from Tennessee.
How anyone could give this inspiring video the thumbs down is beyond me. I offer all my love to both of you for your honesty and your dedication to each other. Your children are very lucky indeed.
Thank you so much!
When we watch your videos we only see 2 beautiful men with 2 cute children who have a life really like a fairy tale.
Your coming out stories touched me so deeply and it´s so painful to hear what sad thoughts you both had and how fearful you were of your families.
Believe me, God made us all the way we are. He loves us for who we are and will always love us for what kind of people we are. He will not ask for gender, but for a kind heart. That's all that counts.
Just look at you! Look at your fingers, look at your wedding rings, look at your kids. You´re a *family* and we all can feel your *love* for each other.
God bless you and children. ♥
thank you so so much
In coming out to my brothers in the early 80's---my parents were already dead --- I had opposite reactions. One was negative and is still in that frame of mind. However my other brother with a strong Christian faith said something I will cherish to the day I die. He simply asked me, in a long distance phone call, if I was gay. I was terrified of admitting to the truth. I took a deep breath and said "yes I am". I waited for the explosion and he said -- " If you ever want to bring a friend or a partner home, he will be more than welcomed in my house". There was a long pause and then I burst into unbelievable tears. There were no other words that could have been said that would have made me feel more acceptable. The words have had an enormous effect on me and my life. He has since died but his memory lives on in my mind -- etched forever. There are good people in this world!!! Thank you both for your videos and showing how a family should live.
Peter A.O'Leary,that just brought tears to my eyes here in Philadelphia! Stay Strong and Stay Well!
Your story is really inspiring. I'm so happy you found each other.
Thank you so much!
One day... hopefully I’ll find what you both share as husbands. 🤷🏻♂️
Wonderful story, lovely couple, and beautiful family!
Thank you so much!
This is what I needed... After 29 years I am beyond tire of hiding in shame and fear... 2021 is the year, I am ready!
Hey, Sergio. Good for you. But, just remember that you don't have to come out to everyone.
Some people just don't deserve it. If they are highly homophobic and it's going to make your life much worse, I don't see the point.
Thank you for sharing your coming out stories. What an inspiration. I am a 64 year old man who came out two years ago. I can understand the liberation and freedom after acknowledging being gay. I was married 25 years until my wife passed in 2002. I raised four sons to adulthood. They are amazing young men and they know that I am gay. They just want me to be happy. I too grew up in a conservative church and even pursued the ministry . I raised my family in the church. I had gay feelings but they were buried. I know all about the churches teaching on homosexuality and how sinful they claim it is. I got hurt very badly by the Christian Fundamentalist Church time and time again. I have left the church and do not wish to return. I have been the happiest these last two years after coming out in my life. Yes there are still some struggles that must be over come but it is liberating to be myself.
Good for you Dan! Keep following your path. My faith tells me God is walking with you every step of the way. Don't ever let anybody tell you otherwise. His love is everlasting because his love has nothing at all to do with the human judgement condition!
I will be your true fan forever....may God bless you
From this day forward, I will remember this sentence, just be comfortable with your own skins. thank you for your videos.
I can’t stop crying from watching this. I am a 35yo African gay man, I work and live in the US. I have been married to a man for over 5 years now and I still haven’t come out to my family. I am still terrified by the idea of coming out to my parents. I have been through everything that Dustin went through except that I still don’t have the courage to come out. Thank you for inspiring me. I feel ready to tell my family about my sexuality and my husband. I love you guys ❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️ you have all our support!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Loads of love form us, gay life coaches!
Hey how you do I’m gay
I too am African and gay. There is nothing my abusive father can do that he hasn't done already. You're not a kid anymore and you don't have to care what your parents think if you find their opinions unhealthy.
What do YOU think of yourself as a person? Your own resolution to succeed in life is far more important than your parents' distorted perception of 'gay'. Just because your parents are important, doesn't mean they understand the important issues in your life. And assuming they don't, sounds like you have other important people to fall back on.
Good luck! Proud of you

I have a similar background to Dustin, and I just have to say I needed that cry this afternoon. Whoever may be reading these comments and is feeling the same, reach out to somebody and talk about what you’re feeling. (I’m here too!)
You're so kind☺️.
It's amazing how you can be wrong about your fathers. I imagined my coming-out to be full of conflict, since my parents were older (so to speak, from a different time, my father is from 1939, my mother from 1942). I was particularly worried about my father as he has a clear black and white way of thinking on many subjects (something can only be right or wrong, there is no in-between). When I finally told them, all my mother and father said was: "Live your life as you see fit. All that matters is that you are happy, whether with a woman or a man by your side. Just take care of yourself and find the right person for a relationship." On the one hand I was extremely relieved, on the other hand I was totally irritated because I never expected such an answer. That's a long time ago, when LGBT+ wasn't accepted by society like it is today.
Even if many fathers don't say or show it that often, they too love their children with all their hearts and they too want to see their children happy. I think it's also a generational issue.
I find Dustin's experiences so awful. Religion and belief in God must not look like this, so that one breaks one's children. I am happy for you that everything has turned out well and that your families see that being gay is not a bad thing and that a gay man can also achieve his goals in life. Tolerance should be talked about much more often in the churches.
Thank you for the message. much love to you
you can really tell when the other speaks how much love these guys have for each, it's beautiful to see and so representative of how important love for one another is
HELLO
Thank you guys from Morocco 🇲🇦 😭❤✌ that was so inspiring and powerful
Alright , let's say thank you to this AMAZING couple from all around the world in this comment 🥰
Both are my example to follow, one day I would like to be like you, I never had a father who was there for me, but I know that when I have a son he will have two dads the rest of his life ♡
Greeting from Colombia guys.
You have an amazing soul and beautiful family.
Thank you so much!
They are the best and lovely couple ,I ever seen.i want to be like them
Oh god just bless you both, so very mature and honest talking. I have to say, I had struggled with the religion thing as well and hated myself, had suicidal thoughts, had long crying nights and all this affected my well being, concentration on life and torn my self-esteem. Until, I too realized god does NOT make mistakes in his creation, not one bit, and I am proud of the person I am today, I came out to lots of friends (when I thought I will lose all of them), but my family is still way far from this, they're very conservative.
I am from the Middle East, and I always wished my parents know a little English so I can show them videos like these (especially this one), they have to see that gay people CAN have a great life like this.
God bless you and your family once more
Amen to this!
HELLO
Guys, it's very important to talk about the coming out. Thank you for sharing your stories! You are so great!
Our pleasure!
That was the most touching story I ever witnessed. It definitely brought me to tears like everyone else am sure! The way Dustin was looking at Burt and cried,that shows the extensive Love you guys have for each other and I pray that it grows with every single moment. I definitely missed seeing 2 little angels.
You guys are example of a perfect couple and a perfect happy family.. Doesn't matter gay or straight... Lots of love to you guys 😍❤
We have been watching you for a while , but missed this along the way, beautifully done guys. We love you and your family and appreciate how you let us into your lives . I knew I was different since I was 4 , but had no way to express myself.To add to this I experienced a physical and mentally abusive step father. Add to that a kid trying to hide who I was, I even got married in 1961 and had a son, after 5 years we divorced, since then I have lived as a gay man who slowly came out to friends and some family. I am now 82 , fully out and have been with my husband happily for 38 years. All of our journeys are different, so happy for your happiness, we love you and your kiddos!!
Soy una persona heterosexual y viendo varios programas de parejas homosexuales he aprendido mucho sobre ustedes. Los entiendo más, no tenía idea que ustedes sufrían tanto. De verdad son valientes.
En cuanto a ustedes dos y sus hijos son una familia muy bonita!!!
I WISH THAT SOON TO HAVE MY OWN MAN AND LOVELY MAN TOO
I’m that man 🥰
Keep smiling guys. Smile gave very beautiful for both your face...
I was incredibly moved by this video I didn’t notice that my tears were running down on my face uncontrollably, you guys gave me the courage and hope in the future I’ve been depressed for so many years and I’m 27yrs old and haven’t had any relationship with the same sex and I never came out yet from my closet And grew up in a religious kind of place I admire you guys you are my role model when i reached that age I wish I could be like you
Coming out will have happened once I meet the person who i will like to spend the rest of my life with. Thank you for inspiring us and sorry If i made grammar errors because i am still learning english . I will be always watching all your videos and your upcoming videos because i always feel happy whenever I watch your adorable family..
thank you. and much love to you as you come navigate your future! :)
Thank you both for being a positive influence if y’all are ever available I’d love to either send some emails or stay in touch with y’all actually.... I have my own story to share but umm... the lord brought me to y’all - I’ve been out since well December 21, 2013 - got outed by my sister - grew up southern baptist and all... so not close to my parents. I broke down in this clip specifically because it’s true. This is what I would like to see in my own life and future. And I definitely would like to build a friendship with y’all and your family but also to be mentored it’s been rough and uh... just y’all opening up in this first clip it spoke to me. I’m a firm believer the lord has his way about this and I was meant to find y’all - it was powerful and great. Umm if you have anyway that’s of course acceptable for us fans of you both and your family to send letters or email please I’d love to have it. Honestly thank you. You both really have helped me see a possibility- I’ve felt lost about the possibility of having a family at some point and this is a beautiful example honestly.
It's never easy. In 1994 when I met my husband, I had come out to my mother but after Michael and I moved in together we had no contact with my family for many years. I love you telling your stories and sharing your loving family with us.
My son’s story reminds me of Burton’s except for husband’s reaction but ultimately parent’s love always wins. I’m sorry you had to re experience that for us but I’m so grateful. I love my son more than he will ever know. So does my husband.
that warms our hearts! He will be so much better off having y'alls support! amazing!
This literally made me cry such an inspiring story of you guys .

Me too 😭😭😭😭💜
Your stories r very moving. I can't wait for the day when everyone is accepted. Thank U so much for sharing
Thank you so much!
Just found you guys and so glad that I have
even though you are happily married with kids, it had to be hard for you both to tell this story. It had to be emotional and probably somewhat terrifying to have to tell this story. But you must know everyone thanks you for doing it. It was emotional for me to watch, and it makes me love you even more.
I've never came out to my parents yet because they're very traditional and religious because we follow the religion of Islam so yah I have lost 3 friends because of my sexuality and gender identity most of my cousins know 2 are also in the closet and I don't know how to come out as Pansexual and genderfluid to my parents or my aunts and uncles. Thanks to you guys I think I now know how to so thanks. Im turning 14 next month
Thank you for sharing. I hope your journey will educate others to see the beauty of your relationship and that the Lord created you like this. At the end of the day we should “All” be Happy. It is very beautiful that you have the support of each other and your family. Also this will make you exceptionally gifted parents where you can have a well informed dialogue with your children. Always love yourself.
You just inspire me, teach me to speak up for my life teach me to take care of myself that i never do it before . Thank you for being my role models. Love you 🙏🙏🙏
I'm so glad!
Oh my gosh you guys are amazing, why I'm crying while watching this now, 😭 being a gays is not a crime, nor your fault bcoz you guys is born that way, is not a choice is just happen that you born with a soft heart like a woman, and I really envy you guys bcoz you are a strong to pass all those hardship and difficulties but look at you now you have a wonderful family, a cute kiddos, and happy life 💜💜💜 protect your family and be happy and live well, I'm so happy that I found out your channel, new subscriber here 💜 I'm a fan of a gays couple all do I'm a girl.. godbless your fam,
Hey it doesn't matter if you're gay straight or bisexual it matters how you treat your kids and you treat your kids with the utmost respect and your good Dads
Guys, I just came out to my mom by the beginning of the pride month at the age of 20, she literally cried and said, she would never sleep with a gay child in the same house and to make matters even worse, she told me she will tell everyone who has been helping me with my school that I CHOSE to be gay. This was so heartbreaking and I felt like losing my mom will be the end of my world and she asked me to promise her to fight and pray so hard that the gay in me goes away, but atleast after two weeks now, she managed to calm down, if she only knew that being gay isn't a choice
Damn it. It is so hard and painful. Wish you love and peace!
Just same situation. So f-ng afraid of what can happen. I love my family so much.
It amazes me that things like these are still happening... Be strong! If they can't understand you then they don't deserve you! Be around people who accept you and love you just the way you are ❤
You guys are so awesome. I came out in 1974. Things were very different then. We had no choice but to fight. When I hear your stories, I realize it was all worth it. Thank you for sharing your stories. I'm glad you found each other. You're an inspiration
No way Burton is almost 40. This is some Hocus Pocus soul sucking sh@$!#% going on right here. He looks like he is 29.
Thank you for sharing your testimonies. It is truly touching to hear about your life journeys. I am a 65 year old gay man, and come from a conservative Christian background. I've been through conversion therapy and lived a celibate life for almost 20 years, and have been from one end of the gay life to the other end of the spectrum. I can relate to your coming out stories. I'm glad to see young people as yourselves living happy and productive lives and raising twins no less. Your videos are inspiring and heartwarming. God bless you and your family !
God Bless you, and thank you
Higuys Great txs for sharing your stories. Now you guys are very happy and, have a beautiful family❤ All the best
As I approach my 70th year on this planet I have relived the coming out experience of a number of gay men. Luckily, my own story is pretty uncomplicated, but I have seen the pain and anxiety that both coming out and the effects of conversion therapy have inflicted on people like yourselves. The great thing is that you are able to proudly express the love that is so evident in your relationship. Stone and Holland, when they are adults themselves, will have the most wonderful foundation of love to take with them.
Thank you for this beautiful video. It will help many people. Best wishes xx
We hope so! Thanks Phil!
This inspired me to come out soon. But im still anxious 😔.
So very inspiring story both of you..I cried to burton story I feel you burton an tell now I am scared to out it becuase the discrimination here in the philippines..
This is SO inspiring 🥲, thank you ☺️ 😊 🙏🏾 so much for this, as a gay person myself, I dream of having a husband and kids and both of you are my source to how I can have a life like this in the future, I don’t know what it’ll look like now, but I’m still hoping for the best. Thanks 😊❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
this means so much to all of us. the only thing I want to say now is "thank you, guys".
I just have to say that little girl is beautiful
So touching you guys. Thanks for opening up and sharing. You are inspiring to me!
Well, nothing against the 'believers', to each is his own, but I am more Agnostic of religion, I am more 'Spiritual' I'd say, so my belief in that context, why 'God made us gay' is that, it is a natural evolution process for any species which is growing exponentially, to eventually become mostly gay and only few remaining 'reproductive' or 'straight' if we are not being too sensitive about terminologies. My belief is, although it's a total personal thought, some hypothesis you may say, noticing the Ants, or the Bees, who live in a colony, in kind of a society, where supply of resource are limited (read food), probably naturally they do some sort of genetic mutation to survive as a species, most of them eventually turns to be the 'worker-bees', basically non-reproductive, so they could rear the children that are already born, in their society. So that they could basically 'Adopt' others' kids. But with this advanced science, now we are using surrogates, which is fine I guess, perhaps nature will find another way to somehow control this population explosion. Covid seemed like one such natural phenomena. Let's see what the future has in store.

I'm Steve (37) new subscriber from Indonesia. Am very greatfull for ur channel that gives us (LGBT community) inpiration and courage for other many gays in the world who still sit in the dark closet because of some other countries are not allowed same-sex marriage. It's not as easy as other countries that legalized same-sex marriage so that one could come out to his family and friends who very supportive. Unfortunately, being gay is still tabboo for some places in the world and it can make a gay be in a depression and it sometimes made him/her have a suicide thought because they afraid and not ready to loose family and friends who don't supportive to their loved one who is gay. I do have a dream to live a life like urs; marriage with a man of my life and build a family but I don't know when will my country legalize the same sex marriage. I also don't want to be in the dark closet and really want to let my family n friends know who I really am so I could pp the authentic life. Being in this dark situation is really hard but when u say, 'If god is perfection and god is perfect then when he created me (who is gay), he never make mistake.' made me take a deep breathe and it releaved.
I think I would've be come out when I found a perfect one who's willing to marriage and build a family like urs.
Thank you once again for being an inspirational gay vlogger and a role model for LGBT community who still have difficulties in coming out. I hope and prat for the best for both of u and the twins. We all love u ❤❤❤
Note: my previous comment is missing so I rewrite it again and am sorry if my english is not so perfect. u guys make me fall in tears as I hear Burton's coming out story..it's so moving ❤
Your dads gesture was incredibly touching. That’s true love!
I couldn't hold my tears when Buron said "take my money and go to a place where you can be happy". It's amazing how parents can make a huge difference in our lives. I'm happy that at the end you found what you dream of. That make us feel that it's possible to have a beautiful family like you guys.
Omg I love there coming out story unlike me I had conservative poo Arents who rejected me but in time two yrs after I told them I was they finally showed me love I was 16 old my believe is that i prey hope all parents could be understanding and acknowledge situations likes cuz rejection is very very hurtful!!I love this so much 😭😭😭😭
When he said “if god is perfection and god is so perfect than when he created me he didn’t make a mistake “…. PERIOD 💅🏻
when burton start cry😭😭😭😭😭😭
Omg-you two are so genuine. Congratulations on life and your life..! Your family is beautiful.. 💜-Sherry
I am straight female but I do adore both of you n heard both of your story really make me burst into tears
Будьте счастливы!
It’s like watching the fantasy fairy tale in real life, you made me so delight and fill with hope, joy and belief. I’m still struggle and face with discrimination and neglect from my parents about my sexuality. You make me believe in a much brighter day in future. Thanks so much and wish you all happiness
Wow guys now I think I’m in love with you both such a sweet story heart felt and kinda typical I think I know mine is similar but my mother is also a crack addict and she rained terror on me until I’d had enough (about two weeks ) so I moved out at the age of 15 to go live with a family I knew who had a son who was also gay and I watched my friends who had stuck in the 1920’s mentality that through them out as well I hated my self from being told I’d definitely go to hell for being gay but I never could wrap my head around that because if God made me and he’s prefect then in my mind I’m not imperfect in his eyes here either When I was 35 me and my partner were baby sitting for his sisters 4 month old when I suddenly smelt alcohol on her breath so I had my friend who was an anti-aging dr come do a blood test on her to find out what she’d been given She had been giving her NyQuil so she could go party and screw around so when she came to pick her up she had a huge shock and she knew instantly I meant what I’d said and I didn’t give her back to her ever but then when she turned 6 I had a massive stroke and missed all of 2007 well I made it against all odds so I guess God still doesn’t hate me here but I lost my income completely I’m back to normal or as close as I’ll ever get again any way here but she went to live with her grand parents maternal ones and they kept her in private school and she graduated this year in 2020 with honors and was valedictorian. So ok I’ve rattled on here enough now but I love what you guys are doing here such great role models for the gay community Thank you so much for everything you are doing you to definitely rock and appear to be so much in love as well ❤️🧡💚💜💛💚💙😍
Make me cry ur story is amazing.... u deserve to be happy ....
Great testimony, God makes no mistakes, fear of rejection, acceptance, family support.. I shed a few tears.... thank you!!
So true!
Thanks a lot guys for making me believe gay relation and marriages actually exist and be successful. 😊
thank you for sharing your story. it reminds me that im not alone. all my life im having a struggle to accept my true identity that im gay because of my religious guilt that i really hate myself because of the feeling that i was attracted to a men. I want to be true to myself but its really hard for me to accept my true identity and thank you for giving me an inspiration to be authentic for being who you are and ignore what people think about you. Your such a role model to everyone who experiencing anxiety and depression to the LGBTQ+ community. Love you both with your beautiful family!!!
In our country people like us we're not accepted by the community
People are afraid afraiding to show who are they so they just hide the truly character ..........but if you show who you truly are people will start judging you and saying that you are evil. God doesn't love you. Stuff like that. I was hating MYSELF from the day I found out that am gay.but I thought about that and last year I started loving MYSELF ... but I told some of my friends they accepted me ..to my family I didn't come out......just know that I love you guys and God bless your family
Thanks so much !
The sad thing is every gay man has a coming out story but sometimes
in my head, I wish minds was acceptance like some gay man were but, in
reality, my coming out story was not acceptable when it came to my father,
my mother really didn't care because it's all about her if the truth be told. I didn't
get my acceptance from my dad until he was on his death bed but I really wished it could
have been sooner because all the time we lost could have been great. We could
have gone fishing, we could have talked about his views of how my life could of went.
I'm sad tonight because all that time was lost because in life people don't look through
other people's eyes until it's too late and God talks to you in your sleep or while you
in life and tell you that everything will be ok. I just really missed out on a lot because
he didn't understand it wasn't that I was gay that hurt me the most. It was he didn't love
me anymore after he found out I was gay. I believe the gay community is a blessing from God. You guys are an inspiration. My partner and I after 23 years are going to adopt a kid, hopefully, that will be our baby.
I don't know if one day I'll be able to come out to my environment ( especially my family)
I've never hated my self for being this way,idc if there's a god (Already not believing in this c.rap) but it's so good to see people like me happy 😊 even though İk for sure I'll never be happy because in my country we're illegal 😭
You're great guys ❤️
It's such a release to be able to tell the world who you are and how you feel. I am so sorry for you that you are not allowed to be who you are for fear of penalties. I hope for you and everyone else in her situation that acceptance and tolerance will spread more and more. Take care of yourself!
Stone and Holland are very blessed to have a parent that is full of heart. So much love❤
Duston and Burton; along with everyone else in your group that may be reading my comment to you both glorious husbands! I relate 100% with your coming out story! I will email you wonderful new friends our coming story and share our life story with you. Maybe it might help some of the others in our LBGTQT+ community in your area with our story too. I must admit, I was shedding tears during your coming out story, but like my husband always told me, I always had a soft caring heart and that's why he loved me so very much! Thanks for being who you both are and for being so real and caring men and caring parents!
I hope your parents asked for your forgiveness. My parents died two years ago having never asked forgiveness for the torture they put me through and without even acknowledging that they did anything wrong. They also died without ever accepting me, my marriage, my children or my grandchildren.
You guys are very fortunate.
It was their loss.
I am a straight woman with 3 daughters and both my ex and I agreed BEFORE we had children that no matter what we would support our children. Although my ex is not gay he was teased his whole life because he was what would now be considered " metrosexual ". Labeling is wrong. We are who we are and ultra religious people cannot have it both ways. If God makes no mistakes then being gay cannot be a mistake. You are great examples of good parents and supportive loving spouses. God bless you.
thank you so much! much love to you and your family
I bet it's been quite a struggle coming out especially when you have an internal conflict. No matter who you are we all fall short of God's Glory. I understand where you're coming from and hope that you know the Love of God !! You're not alone !!

Thank you so much 🙂
I'm so moved by the two of you and your story. In May, my husband and I celebrated 40 years together. The children we had were nieces and nephews and next door neighbor kids and just about any stray that came into our lives. I have so much gratitude for your courage and commitment.
Nice couple with beautiful 2 kids and beautiful frames beautiful house 🏠 beautiful 💗🌈💗🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🏠🏠🏠💪💪💪🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️
I’ve watched this a few times. I’m a Christian and heterosexual but you shouldn’t have to go through the pain just to be who you are. Thank you for sharing. I wished the church would stop thinking folk who are gay have demons in them. That is so damaging. Be blessed guys. Amazing family. ❤️
This is so authentic and honest. I like your videos and as u can see I am a regular viewer now. I am on the path quite late, but your family oriented videos and the compassion gives all of us a lot of strength and optimism about a life that is possible in the future for all of us. God bless all 🙏🏽🤗 thank you for sharing and inspiring everyone.
You are so welcome, and thank you
This was an experience and an uplifting one at that. Thank you, this was as heartfelt and real as it can get.
lots of love from india...💝💕💓💗🤩🥰😍
Currently crying right now at your incredible courage and strength to release thisvideo, so inspiring and going to help so many people, I love that you are now being the representation of a gay couple with kids that you lacked growing up so future generations can see that it is possible and incredible :))))))))))
so many tears. I too had a coming out fear but it didnt get accepted by my patarents. I left home at 18 and never looked back. I never made lifelong friends. I never found a great guy. Count your blessings everyday.
So sorry to hear that Jeff, but I'm glad to know you are being true to you. Much love to you
