Parents candid reaction to coming out

- I found comfort and courage in watching others coming out, so to pay it forward here’s mine.
If you're progressing through your own coming out journey, you're not alone, there are countless communities in all shapes and sizes that will accept you with open arms.
Coming out can often feel overwhelming, my experience demonstrates it might not be as daunting as you can fear. However for some, it can take time for your loved ones to process, but they will come to their senses eventually. So just bite the bullet and godspeed!
Oh and if you know me and you didn't know I was gay... Surprise! :p
when your mom gets there she change her glasses from the "reading ingredients" glasses to the "shit's about to get real" glasses.
Haha I see what you mean, Never noticed that!
Impartial Rich Great people. I wish they accompanied you on your way as long as possible, in good health. And I wish you the peace of mind even when you encounter some more problematic individuals.
TheDavidcalle I saw that too!
tfse 😂😂😂
I LITERALLY DIED THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING
Daughter:dad I'm gay
Dad:ok
Daughter 2:I am too
Dad:God admit dose anyone in this house like guys
Son:I do dad
Dad:fuck
I'm done best story ever 😂
+kitkat13 no shit, something like this was the story of one of my friends. He and his twin brother came out as gay and their parents wondered why none of them loved a girl; sister chimed in "I do"
lmao
daughter 1: dad I'm gay
dad: ok
daughter 2: I'm gay too
dad:does anyone in the family like boys?
mom: I do
dad: thank goodness I thought I'm the only one who likes dudes
HAHAH OMG
When I came out to my Mom, she just laughed her ass off and said: "Well DUH!"
wow what a bitch XD
sydney clement Nah, not a bitch. Just a perceptive mother, lol.
😂😂😂

What does that have to do with anything
It's sad that "coming out" is such a hard thing to do. My heart breaks for those who struggle
DaCarla Howard why do people have to come out at all?
ransom182 i mean that’s a good thing to say but i think it’s so that people can do things to do with their sexuality as well as their parents knowing
What I would hate about coming out is when your parents say, "we already knew." Like, I've been struggling all my life but YOU ALREADY KNEW?!
Lmao
Omg ikr
I came out to my mom and she was just like "Well now I'm sure" "why" I asked "Well I already knew"
LOL
+loloschickenandcamz # He looks totally gay! It isn't hard to tell...
+Carlos Amaral People don't "look" gay, dude.
"It's okay" that's my wish to hear that from my parents
sames
+Kevin Martinez It is okay. You are okay
+Brooke Smith I hope for you to hear those words too.
no its not ok. u will burnt in hell
hehe... im joking....
im lesbian though..... we are same actually. but i never coming out. much stable in emotional and nt care much about it.
Same
I always cry at little at these on-camera coming out videos. Then I listen to Death Metal to feel like a man again.
+tanne loling so hard at your commment
🤣
That is a bad ass door you got there
😂😂😂😂OMG
mroperatio101 THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING TOO😱😂😂
mroperatio101 OMG IKR
Omg I thought that I was the only one that noticed that😂😂
thats a sweet door
You're literally so good looking. like 10/10 and beautiful smile
agreed
I was just gonna comment that
him and his boyfriend are adorable
Miranda farris boyfriend?!!
I wish my parents reacted this way, my mother screamed at me then pulled me to her room and locked me in their and I was on my knees and she yelled and preached about god and hell and my sins. I was so scared and shocked I am still traumatized this was last October and I live with my dad now but I wish I had my moms support like this it hurts me everyday when I think about it. I'm happy for you though you have a loving family who accepts you.
Justin Phannavong thats really sad to hear about your mum :(
hopefully over time, she will accept that being gay is completely normal and should be accepted
+Justin Phannavong im soo sorry you had to go through that you don't deserve any of it dont worry it will get better embrace who you are don't be shy and your mom will accept you eventually :)
세상에.. 역시 커밍아웃에 부정적으로 반응하는 사람이 있군요.. 힘내세요.. cheer up ;)
So sorry to hear that, I've heard similar stories from people. No worries she will some day understand how you feel and love you for who you are
Don't ever believe for one second that you are doing something wrong/bad because of your sexuality. I am so happy that you came out to who you truly are, I really hope your mom comes around and sees that you are doing no wrong. I am bisexual and I have yet to come out to my parents. They are both homophobic but hopefully they will still see me as their daughter that they love :) Just remember, if someone tells you that you are not aloud to like the same gender as you then they don't need to be in your life weighing you down.
haha. I love that ur mom is asking you if you have been expelled from school.
Yay!!!! I love it. It's like a non-event. Like "It's, okay. We kinda thought so. Now what should we have for tea?" Haha. I'm so happy for you.
yeh thats how it should be i think. i hate parents he overreact like 'THATS FANTASTIC!' its like ok ur gay who cares. when my brother came out everyone was just like 'ok cool' then we went on with out day haha
Your parents are sooo amazing, you are so lucky for have them. True parents with inconditional love. I'm happy for you, and thanks for share, this kind of thing give to us hope.
I wish my parents were this nice. If I came out to them, they'd freak out SO much.
woah,when I first saw you I thought you were Thomas sangster...
OMG ME TOO!
omg same HAHHAHA
me too HAHAHAHHAH
me too HAHAHAHA
Me too
These are like the greatest parents ever. They don't even care. They're not even shocked. I'm happy for you
There are two types of people on this video:
Person 1: I hope my parents react like that, best coming out ever, wish my mum had told me it was gonna be okay etc
Person 2: I like your door
Holy shit they took that well. "I'm gay" *parents laugh* "We always thought you would be."
One of the most genuine and pleasant reactions I have seen. You are a lucky guy to have such caring parents. Enjoy your life, keep well and safe and be sure to enjoy the love of those wonderful people around you.
From Phil
that's really sweet. i love how they thanked you for telling them. that's good parenting right there
I'm straight however I'm so happy just watching these videos it's just so nice to see everyone is just so accepting :)
I love how easy going your parents' reactions were. This is how it should always be. Love this
You're cool, and your parents are cool ;)
My dad turned me down when I was 13 years old, because I'm gay, and it took me 10 years to accept myself.. I would't want that to happen for my worst enemy. But my mom is awesome, she accepted it right away
I came out to my dad in the car and when I finally said it he just yelled " Waite what!" Then proceeded to tell me it was all good.
What a great response you got from your parents! It takes soooo much to have that conversation with them and if you want to give back to others, make sure you let them know your story! ❤️ Thanks for sharing!
I hate it how people feel horrible for being gay. Its a natural thing and you should never be ashamed
Re the "short door!
If the house was built earlier the late 1800s , people were much shorter then, and room and door height were shorter aswell. Today, the standard ceiling height is 8 feet and doors 7 feet high
Back then, ceilings were 7 foot high and doors 6 foot, especially in farm houses and country cottages.
What a lucky boy he is, to have loving parents, who have such open minds.
mom's reaction was "are you suspended" haha!
I've heard other moms say "did you get a girl pregnant? ??"
His mom knew better! Haha
what glorious parents you've got! I love their practical, unfussy attitude. Well done for having told them and for having filmed the process.
Hahah that was amazing! I loved it, you have great courage. I wish all parents were as accepting and kind as yours.
Wow they didn't even do anything. They said "ok" so quick
Wish my parents were this supportive too
Waifu Review
don't be rude you idiot
Waifu Review Yea don't be rud
jaws lover
The best reaction I've seen from watching a coming out video. I've seen 20 plus coming out videos and they're all different. Congrats!
your parents are so sweet
that dad is scary as shit.
Ikr😂😂
Tyler Rowlands he's cute though lol
Is your doorway small or is your whole family really tall?
Theresa Shores I think it’s an old house
He Is My Cousin And We All Are Tall ...
Such a good reaction from both parents. You got to love them for that. :)
I wish my parents were this supportive. Or supportive at all...
Reminds me of when my son came out to me at 16! He was sooo scared, even though he knew I was totally accepting of everyone. I always had an inkling, but was just waiting for it. I just hugged him hard and thanked him for finally feeling comfortable enough to tell me!
I love that your coming out was so calm and low key and that your parents were fine about it... just how it should be
so much so that the door received comments lol
This made me smile! Very sweet parents!
Damn. I always think gay guys are cute. I'm missing the chromosome for their return interest, though.
ayyy my friends call me a faggot all the time, how you doin?
Jane Doe you says that until you meet me xD
Actually, you have 1/4 more chromosome than they have as they have XY and females have XX
So what was it like knowing that your dad was a giant growing up? I feel so short just watching this video. It must have been so awesome
Good for you. Unfortunately I didn't have the same option and have lived my life unable to have shared such a precious moment with my parents. I am glad you had such an affirmative experience and wherever you are now, you are having a fulfilled and wonderful life.
Wow very different for me when I came out. I was told to leave the house. Your very lucky and great parents and yes cool door.
Aw that's so cute! I love how they were so supportive 💗
Congratulations!!! Coming out is difficult. I've been out to friends and my very very close family members for a long time (8 years ago was my first coming out to my sis), and today I just came out to my little brother of 15 years. I thought I would have been very confident knowing I'm secure with who I am, but when I was telling him, I kept going round about and finally told him after like 30 mins. I was very anxious! Gratz once again!
Love how they are so supportive
Congrats! You seem quite comfortable communicating with your parents. I guess it will be a few more years before I tell my parents that I'm gay. Maybe by a few years time we will have grown closer, and I could express myself more openly :)
Really wish you the best for your future relationships! Thanks for the video. Imho, you're cute!
you are so lucky to have such supportive parents 💕💕
You have wonderful parents, be thankful everyday for them. Thanks so much for sharing. Best Wishes.
GREAT, YOU HAVE AMAZING PARENTS, LOVE THEM FOR THEIR SUPPORT. GOOD LUCK.
Wow! You are so lucky! Much love & success for your life! You made me smile. Your parents are fantastic. Good luck to you.
When I saw your Dad walk in, I thought it wasn’t going to go too well. I’m really happy for the three of you!
Thanks for sharing this it brought a tear to my eye!
I think this is actually one of the best coming out videos I've ever watched! The parents just didn't make a big deal out of it
That was so sweet. This is how it should always be, and I'm so thankful I had this same experience
I'm pretty proud you came out, I hpe now you feel happier
THIS IS HOW ALL PARENTS SHOULD REACT. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
Tyler is crafting! on March 22nd I can't stop looking at your profile pic
reddforest stfu
OpenMinded Doll go to hell you fucking idiot
Icetail Is thicc stfu dumb ass.... smh
Icetail Is thicc oh yeah your mad because I don't support gays 🙂on that note you'll be the one in hell not me .
Is anyone else watching these before they come out
Me as well (:
Gamelover254 Ha Gay!!
Yup lol been watching them all day coz I'm trying to find a way to come out
Me.
D Peters You take your time and come out whenever you feel ready. You have to love yourself before you can ask others to love you for who you are. You will be fine, good luck
Ik thus video is a few years old, but good for you ! When I came out my parents denied it and told me to stay closeted. I really am glad some people have understanding and open families. Bless you ❤✌
You know what, Richard, this took me back 150 years to when I came out, but only to my Dad at first and it can be very scary. Your parents were proper cool about your coming out and that must have been a wonderful relief. I hope the introduction of the first BF goes as well ;-)
and
A very difficult thing to do, but the hugs at the end were beautiful. Lovely parents and well done for being so brave. 👍😎👍
This touches my heart
This came onto my YT feed today (15th Oct 2022) so I thought it was new. Nope, 9 years old. That was so sweet Rich, bless you. ''It's not a big shock'' 😊 I see your Telegram and Twitter accounts are now defunct, so I do hope you are doing well in your life. All the best.
I have two things to say about this video the first one is I love that bedroom door it must be a very old and beautiful house. the second thing I have to say is your parents are kind and loving people. I wish there were more of them out there like your loving parents
my parents are loving to me all the time but they are Indian they do not know what homosexuality means And I am gay so how to tell them but my all sister support me no matter what they are with me !
I know a lot of doors like that ! well we used to live in house where doors were like this only so I did like the was quite boring I lived in village never ever lived in city part of the country so these things are common to me I am assuming that he lives in Rural part of UK because in UK they have different doors they do not have like these doors
that is quite amazing that village are also quite acceptance of their LGBT people this prove that UK is quite gay - friendly
"Well, that's okay"
Awwww that's lovely
Hey ! This video made me cry ! You are so lucky to have such parents ,they are really supportive. I wonder how would i tell my parents .....
The one thing I hate about coming out videos is the fear you can see in the person as they are coming out. Like how you were sitting across the room when you told them. Kept them kinda far like two arms length away instead of being close to them like parents and children are used to. It’s the same for os many others and I wish it wasn’t such a big deal. I wish I could take everyone’s fear in that moment and give them the courage of a thousand Greek gods to be who they are and own it. Yep, that’s it. I love you and I’m so proud of you.
SO glad it went well for you. You are certainly beautiful. I hope your life has been beautiful ever since.
What sweet parents you have! How perfect and lovely is this.
Nice door!
i thought i was the only one haha Cool door mate xx
yeah! it kinda is!
I thought I was the only one thinking that!!! Lol
its a great door!
God I though his dad was going to bear him on entersnce he looked so scared of his dad but mum and dad turned out to be so sweet supportive and love him
What lovely parents :)
That's really heartwarming. Wish my parents had accepted me like that. Different time different views. I basically devorced my familly for 2 years and told them get over it. It's all about me and not their feelings of acceptance. Sometimes good or bad you have to take a stand and claim who you are. Living a lie just isn't worth the effort.
I really never got to share this experience with my parents. I was kind of forced to come out, which wasn't her intent... but she asked, and as a confused teen in high school I just cried. I was forced to say yes. Now she feels obligated to tell everyone, and it makes me sad that I never got to share something like this with her. Though she supports me, which is a blessing, I wish she would've let me come to terms with myself before I told her.
Wonderful, wonderful parents. This is really heartwarming :-)
You are incredible and your parents are great! Mine would be exactly the same thankfully, so glad we live in the UK! Well done xx
Woo i live in the uk! Were such accepting people here!
Your parents are amazing oml
Great parents who love thier son!!so nice to see!!
after roller coaster reaction, this is gonna be my new jam
You should be proud to be so brave. All the best!
So supportive 💕💕
Your parents are amazing, and you're so brave! :)
Congrats!
Good for you dude ! gay or straight , that's who we are .
So awesome to see parents of that generation (I'm 47) that aren't stuck in the old prejudice ways of the past. Compassion and love for creatures has no place for conditions.
Your folks are so graceful and loving. I can tell they're not religious nuts who are ready to condemn you and start quoting scriptures.
THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY I AM CRYING
Your folks are lovely.
hahah you were so cute :D wish my parents were the same way :P it seems so awkward to actually get the words out but when your finished its AWESOMEEE! :3 congratulations ! :)
Congrats :)
it brought back so many memories of when i came out 3 years ago
its took a good few minutes to actually say it
i kept saying "emm emm" :P
Funny how everyone's saying your door is cool, when *all* the doors in my place are the exact door and I find them terribly repetitive and mundane. :( That big skeleton key makes quite the thunder when it falls to the wood floor.
Wow.. some people's lives are so easy.
Im happy that you wont have to worry about university expenses or being kicked out of your home. I am really glad. Whenever people have this kind of experience It makes me eyes wet. You know if only every mom and dad were like dad not so many of us would be killing themselves. With parental support every adversity is literally nothing.
*were like that
Your parents are the epitome of what parents should be. Unconditional love.
Thats a cool door! I got nervous for you watching this. The tension was really high.
This is so sweet!!! Every parent should react this way. I used to think I was bi, and when my best friend's mum found out, she almost never let my friend and I see each other again because she thought we were dating. We spent a whole night crying together and I was terrified that I would never see her again, simply because her mum knew I thought I was bi.
Also when I thought I was bi, I promise myself I would never tell my parents because honestly I'd be too scared of their reaction (they're very strict Christian Republicans).
Praise the Lord it turns out I'm asexual, so I don't need to come out to them at all.
I wish all parents were as supportive as yours.
this how parents should be
I REALLY LOVE THAT DOOR! NO JOKE
the best thing about the vid...your door is AMAZING WOW!
