I'm just glad my family tried. My mom used to cringe when I'd talk about being with a girl, but she never shamed me or was upset with me. She was just raised conservatively and I appreciate her effort.
It takes courage to know u are wrong but make the effort to change, many people don’t even try, happy that you accept it and eventually came to terms with it, hope u live a happy life
My mum used to be like that, or maybe she's getting better, but I'm not entirely sure. After I came out, she would still try to convince me to be with a girl and have a family. I'd always remind her that I can still have my own family with my future husband, if I decided to get married. I understand it must be difficult for her, especially her growing up conservative Catholic. But I also appreciate that she's trying and that she loves me no matter what. At least I have 2 older brothers who have families, so that might have helped. My dad just tries to stay away from those types of conversations, but he seem chill. I just wish all parents just remember that they should be there for their children no matter what, as long as they're not hurting anyone. I wish anyone who is struggling coming out the best. I hope you find your own freedom, peace and the love you deserve.
yeah that's fair enough, you can't expect everyone to be always completely comfortable with everything, there's the differences in upbringing and in generations and etc, but as long as they make the effort and aren't straight-up hateful that's all that matters
Same, with my mom. She probably doesn't like it, but she never once tried to shame me and call me with names, as some parents does. I'm so lucky to have a not judgemental mom.
I have a friend who was once really close to their parents before they came out. They had this whole “my mom is my best friend, I can tell my dad anything” level of closeness going on and I used to be jealous of it bc my parents weren’t like that. But, my friend came out to their parents a few years ago and to both of our surprise, they didn’t accept them. Even though their parents didn’t disown them or kick them out, they told them that no child of theirs would be “gay”. Now, their entire perspective of their parents and family has changed and my friend actively keeps them out of their personal life. This quarantine has especially been a struggle for them since they still live at home but, what seems to hurt them the most is that their parents would rather act like their coming-out never happened. Please don’t have kids if you’re not going to be a parent 100% of the time. Your kids are not supposed to be replicas of yourself or spouse and your kids are not your second chance at living the life you wanted. Your children are their own people and your LGBTQ+ children will encounter hardships for the rest of their lives just because of who they love. You see how the rest of the world treats people within the community and as their parent, someone who chose to bring them into this world, someone who chose to love and raise them, why would you add on to their struggle?

"If we weren't ready to understand you or support your life choices. We wouldn't have been open to having a child in the first place honey. We'll always support and love you."

@@daebak7370 We Read Your comment on this topic already. We get It STOP posting it to someone's successful coming out stories. Basically Keep your opinions to yourself if you don't like it.
I wish they really did bc a vid a month ago was the same girl reacting to LGBT content in this channel and in the first question of what she'd do if she has a queer child it seems like she didn't really accept the idea and still very repulsive with it ://
This reminds me of when my sister came out as a lesbian. She had sat down with my Dad to talk about it, and his response was: “Seriously? I’m sitting here, internally sh***ng myself because I thought something bad happened to you. Only for me to find out that you’re gay. I’m so proud of you for being brave enough to tell me.” I just get so sad whenever parents disown their children simply because of how they identify, it’s just sad to watch.
I have a teacher who is super cool and funny, the whole class loves her and today she told us that she was a lesbian, she was a bit embarrassed but we gave her a hug, she was very happy. Happy pride month🌈
i have a teacher who i absolutely adore, she was very supportive of lgbtq+ (tbh i think she or one of her daughters are apart of the community) but she was the first adult i came out to and she helped me cope and always there for me. she encouraged me to come out to my mom and brother. im so grateful to her and it really sucks that she was my teacher while school was 100% remote for me, i never got the chance to meet her in person :/ thanks mrs.mccarthy, you'll always be my favorite teacher and the reason why i enjoy science more lol
I'm a little upset about that bi one... if I don't have to have sex with a man to know I'm straight, why is that suddenly the standard when it comes to women... what if I don't even want to have sex ever? I don't go into relationships like "Oh I wonder what sex will be like" and honestly if I ever find out any partner of mine has that mindset I would be disgusted. How do people know TRULY if they like someone? The excitement of being close to them, thinking about your time with them on repeat, getting nervous when they hold your hand. THAT is what matters, love is what matters.... Ugh as a bi person myself I am so frustrated rn...
I'm bi as well and I agree. That whole rhetoric is acephobic and invalidating of bi/pan etc. people. Like, people start calling little boys 'ladies men' and shit straight out of the womb but as soon as he turns 12 and comes out he's suddenly too young to know how he feels. I think it comes from the belief that only het is normal and everything else is just a choice. I'm tired honestly
I love how at the beginning the said “I’m not sure how I’d react..” and when they saw the first negative reaction they kinda agreed “ that’s not a cool scene, she shouldn’t be put down for that.” Which I feel is growth. This was a very unique experience for them I think.
Yeah the difficulty with such conservative countries is that they're aren't kidding when they say they have ZERO experience dealing with it irl. Doesn't look like it lost of the time but humans are always prob to empathize when they see something clearly wrong or unfair even if said thing goes directly against their personal beliefs til that point.
"We don't have people like this around" This misconception is the problem. Korea has just as many lgbtq people as other countries, they just shut up about it because they are scared. They live a lie their whole lives in pain... Chances are that within each of your guy's group of friends there is someone who isn't straight. And those chances are pretty high! Make sure you let everyone around you know you'd be ok with them being lgbtq and I swear you'd be surprised to find out things you would've never thought possible. Great reaction! Very important video! ❤
7:49 I love his statement here. Even if you can't understand, just remember that your words can hurt others. Coming out is not easy. If they decided to do so, It's means you're an important person to them and they're hoping you would still love them after the fact.
It’s extremely selfish to only think about how hard it is for YOU to have a child that’s LGBTQ+. If you really think that’s it’s hard for a parent, imagine what it’s like BEING the child who’s now got to live a tougher life because people will judge and hate them. Your child TRUSTED and was willing to tell you the truth because they love you and this is how you react? YOU don’t have to live with being queer and being hated and judged for the rest of you life, they do. Completely and utterly selfish of parents to react negatively only because “Oh what will Martha say when she finds out? What will Grandma think? What will the church say?” etc. Some people put way too much importance on living life according to what friends, etc. think. Do you live your life for others or for yourself? I’m not LGBTQ+, but I am getting closer to a point in my life where I have to think about having a house and a husband and children, etc. and even though I’m still religious I would NEVER deny my child or treat them any differently if they came out to me. In my eyes I don’t see how it’s difficult to have sympathy and understanding towards another human being. Love and accept your children, that’s all they’re asking for.
marry me hahaha but yes your mindset is what everyone should have if possible ,but that's not how it is:( I 'm glad to see more people tryin to be more human.
The mom doesn't know that being bi doesn't need to be an experience, it's who you are and it isn't always a sexual thing- it could just be more romantic, and not sexual. Or it's your preference- it's just who you are. You don't need to have sex to have a sexuality.
As a 35 year old Korean woman I still haven’t came out yet sometimes i wish i was a different race so my parents would accept me as a lesbian plus I’m not even married yet I just tell them I’m not interested in marriage
If you're already an adult, i think its time to come out to your parents. You shouldn't have to feel like you have to keep it a secret! It shouldn't matter to them, and if treat you differently in a rude way then I'd cut them off or try to explain to them how it works. Wish you the best, girl.❤
The whole YOU CAN'T BE GAY/BI IF YOU HAVEN'T- argument is so dumb... It's like telling people HOW COULD YOU SAY YOU'RE STRAIGHT IF YOU'RE A VIRGIN.... Coz not everything has to be sexualized like in porn.
I remember when I was on tinder and I matched with a guy and he assumed that because I was bisexual it meant that I've had a ton of sex because I like both men and women. When I told him that I was a virgin (at the time) he then asked "well how do you know that you're bi then?" And I said "because I've had crushes on both boys and girls and I've had boyfriends and girlfriends" it honestly pisses me off how bisexuals aren't taken seriously
As a Christian I want to say God loves all His children and he made everyone the way that they are from birth and doesn't make mistakes. Same sex couples can be seen in hundreds of mammal species, it is completely normal and everyone in the LGBTQ community is valid and loved. (I'm also bisexual, but did not know this until the last couple years). I have done my own digging into the topic over the years through personal conflict and prayer and no longer believe genuine love between any two human beings is in any way a sin (which is what I was raised to believe). Love is the purest emotion.
Finally more christians are waking up to this😭 im a catholic myself and i want to be the best ally i can be. I had this talk with my mom that at its core its still love and all love comes from God. My family is mostly homophobic but she told me that she never rlly saw it that way. I hope im changing her mind abt the lgbtq+ community😭
i hate when people (especially christians) paint God as a punisher. God made us. and He made us perfect! love is not a product of the evil and you can never go wrong with loving somebody, and if i am a lesbian, it means that He made me this way for a reason. no one really knows what happens after we die so we can't draw conclusions to whether the Bible is right or not, however if homosexuality does happen to be a sin, my goodness, love and faithfulness i have in Him and Jesus Christ, it will weight it out and He will forgive me
*The fact there is heavy shipping culture between the same sexes in Korea and japan poplularised by anime, yaoi and fan service but they [not all people in korea ofc] are not open minded to people who actually 'come out' is sad and confusing. I remember the shit ton of hate Holland [IDOL] got for comin out as gay---- like what? Treat everyone with kindness*
yeah it’s really weird, i don’t really understand why fan service (as in shipping two girls or two guys) is acceptable but when it comes to an actual lgbt couple it’s suddenly wrong.
I use to think it was strange but you gotta realize that they use it as just that, fan service and some are just fetishizing same sex fake couples. It’s similar to liking something in fantasy but not irl. When it becomes real it’s not fun for them anymore.
@@Niiena When I first got into k-pop, I thought korea was a lgtbtq friendly country with the shipping, fanservice and t but the reality is so different in the country. iTS strange to me----
@@nethu6577 well the touching is just seen differently bc of their culture. And shipping _inside_ of Korea is something I can’t really speak on but yeah it’s pretty weird
Honestly same sex shipping culture is not mainstream at all in Korea, and where it does exist, it's mostly created by and for straight women. Homosexuality is seen as a kind of taboo porn preference rather than an actual way to exist in real life. It's definitely getting better these last couple years but there is a long way to go.
"are you a child of God?" That's what got me the most cause I have seen where they are rejected in the supposed name of God or cause God won't love them but that right there got me cause he is saying you can be gay and love God and he will love you as I love you. That is real love and faith for all
Yes God loves all his children, being LGBTQ isn't a choice, you are born that way, therefore God made you that way and there's nothing wrong with you (if you don't believe in God that's fine, I'm just coming from a Christian perspective)
my parents didnt accept me. they said women are for men and men are for women. im kinda not affected by their reason bc i dont believe in God but what hurted was them invalidating me and my efforts hahahha sucks to be me
"are you a child of God?" and "but are you okay?" really got me. I love that he can combine the love of God and his own child and not act like being gay will destroy their life. I have a daughter, and I hope I am able to communicate my love and understanding for her to the point where she doesn't need to feel anxious or scared to tell me these kinds of things.
honestly i'm a bit worried, it sounded like a "just as long as you don't DO gay, it's ok as long as you don't fall to temptation" kind of thing. maybe projecting from what i've heard
i hate the idea that you have to be intimate with a gender for your sexuality to be valid. when i was younger, i was never intimate with anybody yet I knew i liked boys and girls. also, sexuality is not purely sex. being connected with someone involves emotional connection as well. if you have an emotional connection or attraction to a person of the same gender, that’s enough to be lgbtq edit: typo 2nd edit: this applies to the aces too!!
@nick gibbs Simple, you don't have to actually get intimate to know if you feel no sexual attraction. Saying that you need to have sex to know can put a lot of people in situations that might influence them for the rest of their life. It's great for you and your friend that you've come your way to figure things out but there are individuals who don't need to do what you did. It's not whether or not you like sex, it's if you feel sexual attraction or not. I am also a fellow ace person, just so you know.
@nick gibbs even if people are not intimate with the same or opposite gender, they still can know before that who they feel attracted to, whether romantically or in terms of sexual attraction. It's not a requirement to know. Teenagers have crushes without being intimate with anyone at first or never at all. Not everyone finds a partner of the same gender or opposite gender, some only have experience with a certain gender. That still makes them valid in their claim of their sexuality. Sex is not an requirement, even for sexuality. It's harmful for people to be put into a position in which people say they cannot feel a certain attraction to a certain gender because they've never been intimate. It's none of their business, nor does it affect the person asking. They're only putting harmful expectations on especially younger lgbtq+ folks. Figuring out their own sexuality and gender identity is hard enough, saying they should have at least some intimate experience to know only complicates things and can be stressful, even traumatic to some. Lgbtq+ people face enough trauma through discrimination and internalised homophobia/biphobia/transphobia/etc. We don't need to add more.
If you’re LGTBQ+ and you’re worried about no one accepting you, I wanna tell you that I accept you. You’re amazing, loved, and unique. You have a great life ahead of you.

Lmao same here, we were just discussing different sexualities and then my mom guessed what i was right away and she was very supportive and had a very calm attitude about it lol. This happened yesterday.
7:35 this is incredibly important. them coming out to you is their moment, so stop making it about you just this once. keep an open mind and always focus on calming them down, reassuring them etc
Yesss even if its a 'im gonna need some time to come around but you will still be my child' its a hundred times better than leaving the room or something like that
When I was pushed out the closet at 14, my Hispanic moms reaction was the same as the one on 3:48, she drank a lot and we constantly argued and she kicked me out the house multiple times. But now at 24 she’s supportive and our relationship is a lot stronger than what it was. It does get better guys and come out when YOURE ready not with other people pressuring you. There are so many more people who will love and care for you if the outcome comes out bad (hopefully not) happy pride month babies ❤️🏳️🌈
please show them videos from korean queer channels or even do collaborations to help support lgbtqia+ korean creators during this month and highlight their voices!!
@@juveline8162 Because women are mostly praised for being bisexual, wow bisexual men are look down upon just because they like different option. And because mostly straight men think it's gross anyway and mostly because of stereotypes that surrounds bisexuals. For example some people say you have to choose ,some people say it's greed ,some people say it's a phase some people say just because you're bisexual you're gay things like that. When that's not even true at all
@@breeramsey899 I never understood how some people within the LGBT community can be so mean with bi people 🙄 It’s perfectly fine if they like both genders, why are they trying to put everyone in a box, it’s so toxic
My son is now 13. When he was 10 he came and said “mom, I Think I’m bisexual”. I didn’t surprise or shock me but he was crying. I was driving so I had to stop the car at the side of the Road, to give him a hug and say “I don’t Care whether you want to kiss boys or girls. I will support you No matter what!” Today he’s not sure of his sexuality and that’s okay. He’ll find out when he’s ready. My point is.... our biggest job as parents is to love and support our children. No matter what! Who ever they get to love themselfs is completly out of anyones hands, but theirs!
The third mom seems funny, but it lowkey has biphobic and acephobic rhetoric (actually, a lot of biphobic and acephobic rhetorics are similar)... I don't think straight people need to have sex to know they're straight lol. Kind of cried at the rest of the video though lol.
Agreed, but it might just be a specific type of stereotypical misunderstanding from a lack of communication and growing up around the LGBTQIA(+?) community, because my mother was the same way. She was more accepting generally, but questioned if I individually was sure of my pansexuality as a virgin at the time of coming out. I entertained the idea for her sake just because I don't like ruling out possibilities and was psychologically intrigued, but as expected in the end we had to have a talk where I explained how that was offensive and was an assumption to be corrected. I was going to suggest it was generational, but before that a younger past therapist of mine asked the same thing, instead linking it to trauma. Luckily I knew of my sexuality way before that so I was able to give her some insight too. 😅
3:56 I can relate to this video. I remembered when I first came out to my mother that I was bisexual, she was confused and mad at me. We fought back and forth and I was crying the whole time. It doesn’t bother my mom anymore that I’m attractive to girls but she still wishes for me to end up with a man though.
I recently had this conversation with my sister. She's a mom and one of her friend's kids just came out as trans. We talked about how at the end of the day, you just want your child to be happy, healthy, and productive. The rest doesn't really matter. She loves my nephew no matter what (we both do of course) and if he ever came out to her she'd give him whatever support he needed, because she doesn't want a miserable child or worse, a dead child. Your personal discomfort is not worth ruining your child's life. Happy Pride Month, everyone!
"are you a child of God?" now that makes me cry more, that family is so lucky to have a really open mind, his father is so ready to accept him and is also ready to guide him😭 that's just so sweet! what every child needs in this generation.
I really love how watching these videos made everyone change their answer and realise it's way more important for a child to feel safe and loved than how surprised the parents are. It just goes to show that LGBT+ representation IS important and CAN make a difference.
Ok 2:30 no the mom is not cool. She is discriminating against bisexuals and that is not how it works. She is not saying real things. There is such a stigma around bisexuals. We DONT have to have sex with a girl AND a guy to be bisexual. It’s a feeling in your heart, just like love. I’m sorry if you can’t understand that, but I am a bisexual woman, and it doesn’t just lead into sex right away. You’ve got to have that emotional feeling. And another thing, people are afraid bisexuals are gonna cheat on their partner just because we’re attracted to both genders. If you don’t have a hold on yourself and what you want that is true. But with me, I can control myself and I will not cheat on my partner because I want only my partner even though I’m attracted to girls as well. It’s just common sense people.
I'm gay, but when I was younger I was kinda split, not in a bad way, I just went both ways and there was nothing wrong with that. Yes, I've leaned more towards one gender over the other but a person's heart and feelings are valid. You are always valid
to every lgbtq+ person in this comment section: I'm so proud of you. Your sexuality is valid, your gender is valid, YOU are valid. Even if people arround you don't accept you, just know that you're loved
They're not religious people. Real Christian religious people are almost extinct in the West. What you see here is a deformed, mutated version of it. I guess that's what happens when people don't read the holy books they always proclaim about. You don't have to go very far back to see that the church would not accept these practices and many others, they only do now due to the cultural impact of "progressivism" (lack of better word) that has completely smashed Christianity. Now whether that is a good or bad thing is up to debate. It will also be interesting to see whether Islam follows the same path or not.
@@Manic_Panic exactly, as being raised in the "real" religious Christians my family would dropkick me 😂. Most of Christianity is mutilated but I'm not gonna get into that. It would be interesting to see Jewish or Islamic views on it.

I am an Indian and we asian are known to be conservative and narrow minded on LGBT+ community. But I talked to my parents about this topic and they really are supportive. Never expected from an Indian parent to be supportive and understanding on this topic. Anyway happy pride month 🏳️🌈
Coming from the same country I didn't even know what lgbtq is, and not even know about what is gay. Everybody here jokes that he's gay, I thought it was just a joke. But I'm glad that now I know about what the whole thing is about. Even though I don't know about it fully, I want to learn so that my future generation will know what that is🏳️🌈
as a trans and bisexual Indian this really touched my heart, my parents aren't the most open minded and they will disown me if i come out. God bless your parents.
Same! i recently educated my parents on the topic and my dad seems cool with it, my mom on the other hand isn't tho :( I'm asexual myself and i really hope i could come out to them soon but I'm nervous lol
@@mehruhameed4595 can you give me soms tips on how to educate your parents. I really don't known how to start. And the fact i am still confused about my sexuality is making it hard for me
I feel bad for all the LGBTQ+ Koreans out there. My own Mother was a beach about my coming out, but at least I don't live in a place where people think you don't exist at all.
8:22 Yes, there are maybe not many _openly_ non-heterosexual people around, but LGTBQ+ people _are_ everywhere. Many people just do not see us, because we cannot always feel safe to be who we are openly and/or because we are assumed to be straight. So people think there are no LGBTQ+ people around, but how does one know, if one only assumed everyone to be hetero before anything else and if the environment is not safe for people to be openly who they are. The fact that "coming out" culture is there, is a problem. The goal is all about making LGBTQ+ something that is not "special" but rather is normal, just the same way being hetero is "the normal". Love is love. Happy pride everyone!
YES when they all said they didn't know any queer person i was like 'yes you do, they just aren't out' lmao im glad to see them have learned from this video so hopefully they can be better friends/family to their queer peers :D
Kind if funny is that if the theories on why people are gay by scientists today are true, muslim and african countries would have the most gay people in total since the average women bears more children and they generally prefer sons. Fun Fact: If all mainland chinese gay people (all of them not just those that are out) formed a country , it would be the 20th biggest country in the world population-wise.
@@loumarie1192 either way, whether they meant korea or the people around them, it can still be true about the people around them as well, co-workers, friends, unless they have discussed this with them, which we cannot know of course so it’s pointless to debate. but just because someone thinks (without knowing/asking/figuring out in other ways) that all their friends, co-workers are straight, does not mean they are. even if they have a male friend dating someone who is female, does not mean they are necessarily straight. that’s the whole deal with heteronormativity, everyone is assumed straight until they ”come out”. saying this from personal experience, as none of my childhood friends, relatives, no one, knew until i told them at the age of 19, they always assumed i was straight (clearly from questions like ’do you have a crush on him’ ’do you have a boyfriend’ etc) and this is something that happens probably more often than not, sadly. I hope and think through these videos their eyes will open more, to see past the normativity and assumptions of heterosexuality. (: again, happy pride! ❤️
I still remember when I heard my mom and my older sister talking about how my little sister got a girlfriend at school. Me and my little sister are pretty close so I was kind of sad to find out that she came out to everyone in the family except me. I went and asked her about it later on and she said that I was the first person who she came out to and that I said "okay? And what about it?" while half asleep. She asked if I was okay with it and I said "of course! Why would I care?" but I didn't remember anything when I woke up completely. Apparently my nonchalant attitude gave her the courage to tell the rest of the family... next time I'll have to pay more attention even if I'm half asleep lol Happy pride month everyone!
PD-nims, if there's a chance maybe you could invite someone who identifies as one of LGBTQ for an interview with your casts so that they could have an even deeper understanding towards the feelings of someone within that community, maybe they could probably befriend them along the way.
it´s an interesting idea, but keep in mind that a) finding a lgbtq+ korean person is very hard, and b) convincing them to be part of a video for the whole world to see is even harder
@@__-ul1lr there's a lot of Korean youtubers who are openly queer! so that might be a good place to start. but no queer Koreans aren't hard to find, more just SK is way behind on queer issues so you're probably right that they're most likely gonna be closeted & not want to be outed through a youtube interview lmao
Lol I called a girl hot infront of my dad and he said "you're right" and he kept scrolling through Female athletes in the sport we play asking me if I think they're hot lmao. I was like "what about the hot guy right there" and he said "But hot women can't get you pregnant" my dad lmao just chilled
It was kinda funny the thing that "you have to go in the trench to say it" but like... Sometimes this argument is used to invalidate what people say and feel. I mean, you don't have to eat sh*t to know you won't like it.
I really wish my coming out story was like these in this video. Seeing people get relatively positive reactions is so heart warming. My experience was very different and my mom went in my room and put all of my belongings in the trash telling me i didn't deserve any of the stuff she bought me. That included my makeup, clothes, television, and more. It was so upsetting and i could only cry while i was putting all my stuff away and cleaning up the mess she made. I often thought about running away but it wasn't a possibility for me as I didn't have anywhere to go. My mom has slowly started to become more accepting and is trying harder now than ever to understand me and the LGBT community which I'm grateful for. But that experience will never leave my head. I already have to deal with majority of the world against me but to have your own family not accepting is very hard. It's like you're all alone. (I'm pan, enby, and demisexual btw and happy pride month!! If anyone is having a hard time don't hesitate to share your experience. I will try to cheer you up to the best of my ability)
@@KimTaehyung-gz4yw thank you for the kind words~ it might not be possible to come out at this point and time but when you have back up plans in case they aren't accepting, go for it! I'm hoping that you have nothing but a good experience when you do so.
I would support my child in the future because I’m bisexual too but my parents don’t know and they never will know because I won’t tell them😂😂they would bury me alive because I’m Muslim so it’s not allowed in my religion
The way Rua got silent re-evaluating his view on it throughout the video... Damn yeah see this is why we need more LGBTQ+ representation in the media - to get the conversation started!
you really can’t know how vulnerable one feels when coming out to someone until you’ve done it..probably one of the most stressful things i’ve ever done and i hate that we have to go through that
My 15yr old daughter came out to me as being "bi maybe lesbian" after watching a "This Is Us" episode together. She cried when she told me and said she had been nervous which surprised me. I've always been so openly accepting of literally everyone but it's still just one of those things that brings such fear. You never really know how someone will react and if they'll accept you. I also found out she didn't even know I was bi myself lol (all my relationships with women had been before she was born). We bought matching hoodies a week later that said "Queer all year" ❤
That's so wonderful of you! The matching hoodies is a beautiful way of support. So question... "I WAS bi myself..." WAS it a phase, or do you miss that part of loving others? Just wondering...
I honestly am blessed to have a family that’s supportive of the lgbtq+ community, but it makes me feel sad that there are people out there who don’t have a supportive family.
It was so touching seeing them reacting so emotionally to the people that were accepted, it’s so lovely that just a little exposure like this made them have a lot of empathy for people coming out
"How if your child is gay?" is a common 'attack' here whenever I said homosexual is normal. I always answer: 'I'd be worried for them because there is people like you. Nothing is wrong with my child but there are a lot of flaw with other people.'
I Don't have parents, they left me in 2018 and I'm 14 now and I'll probably come out to my sister in some years ,I just hope that she accepts me ,because she's the only person I have now...💜🌈🏳️🌈
@@AbdulHadi-fx5rn Remember that no matter how your blood family feels, there will always be people who will love and accept you for who you are. Even if you don't know them yet.
everyone sharing coming out stories in the comments... meanwhile me: preparing a power point explanation on what the hell is asexuality and why it's not an illness.... (I will probably never come out lol)
@@LilianaC8927 Thanks, I think my family would accept it but I will probably wait a few years until I'm older before coming out because I think they will see it as "just a phase" or "too young to know those things" if I come out now... and I really don't want that conversation... still, thanks for your words and happy pride month
2022 is going to be my first pride out of the closet to everyone. I'm so excited! Videos like this helped me come out over time because it showed me that the people who matter will be supportive no matter who you love.
Coming out videos where the parents react in a loving and accepting way makes me cry pretty easily, because I know I'd never get that reaction from my parents, also I'm glad there are parents out there who are actually good parents.
I really really loved the questions asked at the beginning and end. Like them being able to see how the parents reaction effects the person coming out and learning how to react not with shock or surprise but instead just saying it’s ok. That’s something I would have really loved to hear growing up. Being okay with it is fine but it’s important to let your child know that they are okay to just be them and it lets this huge weight off of their shoulders.
imo, if parents aren't ready for everything and anything when having kids, they shouldn't have them. If you feel uncomfortable with accepting your child the way they are you should have thought it through first
I was really happy to see how the men’s mindset changed from the beginning of the video. thank you for this, i think it’s really important for people to see real situations like these in order to learn
The one with the religious dad was so sweet. Im not religious and neither is my family, but I can imagine how terrifying that was to come out to someone who does seem to be incredibly religious. Im glad it ended well and that all his dad cared about was that his son was okay. Really does prove theres no excuse to not accept your child no matter what
if I was a parent I would gladly accept them no matter what. I'm not going to be the first person to not accept, hurt and invalidate my child's feelings. happy pride month everyone 🌈🌈🌈
I remember when my cousin told me that she likes girls, I was like. Ok, so is there a girl you like. She told me yes. Love is love , be happy with whom makes you happy. Something that I been telling my cousin for the past 16 years, you don’t need to prove to anyone, why you feel what you feel for another women and or men ( she’s Bi) that’s your business, be happy being you.
AwwwMinji’s second time crying on this channel. I remember her crying when she asked her father if he wanted her as his daughter in his next life too. ❤️
I just want to say, I love the two girls! They seem like they are going to be amazing parents: their children will know they are always loved unconditionally... ahghh, they are such beautiful souls, I can't :3
I remember some years ago that my friend's brother came out, even though we already knew but it was really heart warming seeing that his mom supported him. Ever since, my friend has been the most supporting person that I've ever met and she isn't afraid to talk about these topics openly and freely, even during class. I may not be part of the LGTBQ+ Community, but I'll always support everyone no matter what 🥰 Happy Pride Month
i am so lucky to have supportive parents. they're still conservative in some aspects (boys wearing skirts etc) but i am incredibly grateful for what i have. my heart goes out to all of you whose families aren't supportive. please remember that you're not alone and if no one else is, i'm here for you. don't hesitate to reach out if you need to talk ❤️
It's not a healthy thing for me (a closeted lesbian) to be watching these things, I'm in tears from watching these videos and imagining I'll have to do that some day
Please remember that finding a friend in the same community as you can help tremendously, they can be there with you to support you, and might have advice for managing the stress around coming out to your chosen people.
To anyone that feels this way: it’s okay to not come out. Your sexuality is very personal and if it just doesn’t feel right, don’t feel like you NEED to come out. It’s not gonna change how you feel. Happy pride month! ❤️🏳️🌈
Right? I don't feel like i should come out like if u ask me i wont lie i will tell you the truth but why does it have to be like a whole thing like do straight people come out? No! Then why should we I mean its okay if you want to but you don't have to like i will come home with same sex partner and you don't get to be surprised like im sorry but why did u assume i was straight
I'm never telling my mom I'm a lesbian lol I'm finna let her to continue to think I'm straight cause if I ever do come out she's finna be hella dissapointed 💀✋
@@cravedintimacy come out when YOU feel comfortable. Whether it's in a week or 20 years from now, though I won't come out to my mother anytime soon...that won't stop me from expressing my true self, and that shouldn't stop you either. I'm rooting for you and hope you live your life happily with whomever you choose to love 💕
bro my indian parents are homophobic but they try to not show it. but it's obvious as hell lmao. i'm straight, but i still do support LGBTQ people regardless of my parents 💀💀💀 also my parents think i'm homophobic, and i'm keeping it that way so no conflict starts with me supporting LGBTQ ppl💀 anyway, good luck to you
i remember i was at a cadet camp. we stayed their for abt 2 weeks. one day, we were at the woods but it started to thunderstorm and we had to go back to the camp. i sat right beside my friend who i was chill with and we started talking. to make the time pass by, we played would you rather. he said this, "would you rather be a lesbian or date a bisexual guy." and i said, "date a bisexual guy." his response, "okay, hit me up" at that point, i realized he came out to me. i remember having this shocked face. my reactions were "OMG NO WAYY." 1. first guy i met that was part of the lgbtq 2. im surprised he trusted me that much to tell me hes bi 3. yes i did not acknowledge that he wanted to hit me up after that, i asked a bunch of questions abt himself and he was so comfortable telling me. i think my reaction gave him a little bit of comfort. we were 13 and he trusted a person that he only knew for less than 2 weeks. i rlly felt i was lucky and a trustworthy person that was 2 years ago. we didnt talk after we got out of camp, i do wish i did talk to him bc he was a great person. plus, i couldnt date bc #asianparents HAHAHHDKCJC
Not me here bawling my eyes out because of the dad that said “you’re a child of God” 😭😭😭😭 God loves us all, who are we to judge anyone! No one should hate another person no matter what! You can’t say you believe in God and then hate on another person... “love one another like i love you” very simple way of living but us as humans complicate shit!
seeing all the comforting parents makes me envy, when i came out i was shouting, crying, trying the best i could to feel like me parents still loved me. If you have gone through that too, just know you will always be loved no matter why or who. Stay strong
I'm crying real hard. I still remember when I came out to my mom but she didn't understand what I'm trying to say. She said "No, You're not, you are girl" And I can see that she can't accept me as a bi. I even tell it to my da but he just stared at me and go. And now we never talk about my gender and it's really hard. To all lgbtq+ out there happy pride month! Raise our flag 🌈
They probably don't have knowledge about the LGBTQ community, they're probably not bad people, just come from a different mindset. Don't stop being yourself because parents are people an being people they have flaws. I wish you the best 🤍
@@Roadtotekkengodkazuya First of all, they said they were bi, not lesbian. Second, sexuality is not a choice. No one "turns" gay. They are born with it. The same way that you don't choose to be straight. Do you honestly think people "choose" to have violence thrown at them? To get hate crimed? Come on.
@@Roadtotekkengodkazuya “turning gay” you don’t just wake up on a random ass day and be like “imma be gay today” nobody does that…you love who you love, sexuality is not a choice…gtf
The child of god one was so cute, that's such a great dad. Accepting his son, comforting him in all ways possible. Respect to that father he will raise a great son!
I'm just glad my family tried. My mom used to cringe when I'd talk about being with a girl, but she never shamed me or was upset with me. She was just raised conservatively and I appreciate her effort.
She's so nice. She's atleast trying. I know so many who doesn't even try. Breaks my heart
It takes courage to know u are wrong but make the effort to change, many people don’t even try, happy that you accept it and eventually came to terms with it, hope u live a happy life
My mum used to be like that, or maybe she's getting better, but I'm not entirely sure. After I came out, she would still try to convince me to be with a girl and have a family. I'd always remind her that I can still have my own family with my future husband, if I decided to get married. I understand it must be difficult for her, especially her growing up conservative Catholic. But I also appreciate that she's trying and that she loves me no matter what. At least I have 2 older brothers who have families, so that might have helped. My dad just tries to stay away from those types of conversations, but he seem chill. I just wish all parents just remember that they should be there for their children no matter what, as long as they're not hurting anyone. I wish anyone who is struggling coming out the best. I hope you find your own freedom, peace and the love you deserve.
yeah that's fair enough, you can't expect everyone to be always completely comfortable with everything, there's the differences in upbringing and in generations and etc, but as long as they make the effort and aren't straight-up hateful that's all that matters
Same, with my mom. She probably doesn't like it, but she never once tried to shame me and call me with names, as some parents does. I'm so lucky to have a not judgemental mom.
I have a friend who was once really close to their parents before they came out. They had this whole “my mom is my best friend, I can tell my dad anything” level of closeness going on and I used to be jealous of it bc my parents weren’t like that. But, my friend came out to their parents a few years ago and to both of our surprise, they didn’t accept them. Even though their parents didn’t disown them or kick them out, they told them that no child of theirs would be “gay”. Now, their entire perspective of their parents and family has changed and my friend actively keeps them out of their personal life. This quarantine has especially been a struggle for them since they still live at home but, what seems to hurt them the most is that their parents would rather act like their coming-out never happened.
Please don’t have kids if you’re not going to be a parent 100% of the time. Your kids are not supposed to be replicas of yourself or spouse and your kids are not your second chance at living the life you wanted. Your children are their own people and your LGBTQ+ children will encounter hardships for the rest of their lives just because of who they love. You see how the rest of the world treats people within the community and as their parent, someone who chose to bring them into this world, someone who chose to love and raise them, why would you add on to their struggle?
MY PARENTS are my best friends but I wont be able to tell em--- they're homophobic
@@nethu6577 same but I’m thinking about telling them once I leave and have my own home and job so I won’t get disowned by them lol 😂

I'm also in his situation. So I can't come out yet. So I'm planning to tell them when I get my job and find a place to stay lol
Bingo
seeing their answers to “what would you do if your child came out” change from the start of the video to the end meant a lot to me idk
Felt.
I did a coming to my parents around my first year of high school before they died. And I won't be ashamed of what I am for them accepting me leaving these words for me. "If we weren't ready to understand you or support your life choices. We wouldn't have been open to having a child in the first place honey. We'll always support and love you."
im so sorry for your loss, but i'm glad you were able to have that moment with them!

It’s really admirable how they changed their minds on how they would react if their child came out to them. We love seeing education and growth 🙌🏻🙌🏻
It was, I really enjoyed seeing this reaction
I wish they really did bc a vid a month ago was the same girl reacting to LGBT content in this channel and in the first question of what she'd do if she has a queer child it seems like she didn't really accept the idea and still very repulsive with it ://

This reminds me of when my sister came out as a lesbian. She had sat down with my Dad to talk about it, and his response was:
“Seriously? I’m sitting here, internally sh***ng myself because I thought something bad happened to you. Only for me to find out that you’re gay. I’m so proud of you for being brave enough to tell me.”
I just get so sad whenever parents disown their children simply because of how they identify, it’s just sad to watch.
I’m proud of your sister as well ❤ and I’m happy your dad was in support of it
this is why representation is important. look how just a few videos opened their minds completely.

this is so wholesome
awww
This is so cute
you have in-person classes? :
i have a teacher who i absolutely adore, she was very supportive of lgbtq+ (tbh i think she or one of her daughters are apart of the community) but she was the first adult i came out to and she helped me cope and always there for me. she encouraged me to come out to my mom and brother. im so grateful to her and it really sucks that she was my teacher while school was 100% remote for me, i never got the chance to meet her in person :/ thanks mrs.mccarthy, you'll always be my favorite teacher and the reason why i enjoy science more lol
I'm a little upset about that bi one... if I don't have to have sex with a man to know I'm straight, why is that suddenly the standard when it comes to women... what if I don't even want to have sex ever? I don't go into relationships like "Oh I wonder what sex will be like" and honestly if I ever find out any partner of mine has that mindset I would be disgusted. How do people know TRULY if they like someone? The excitement of being close to them, thinking about your time with them on repeat, getting nervous when they hold your hand. THAT is what matters, love is what matters.... Ugh as a bi person myself I am so frustrated rn...
I'm bi as well and I agree. That whole rhetoric is acephobic and invalidating of bi/pan etc. people. Like, people start calling little boys 'ladies men' and shit straight out of the womb but as soon as he turns 12 and comes out he's suddenly too young to know how he feels. I think it comes from the belief that only het is normal and everything else is just a choice. I'm tired honestly
agreed. i was like ???? l
Agree
I feel you, I reeeally feel you😭💔
Her mother was just joking, it's obvious they have a good mother/daughter realtionship to joke around like that.
I love how at the beginning the said “I’m not sure how I’d react..” and when they saw the first negative reaction they kinda agreed “ that’s not a cool scene, she shouldn’t be put down for that.” Which I feel is growth. This was a very unique experience for them I think.
Yeah the difficulty with such conservative countries is that they're aren't kidding when they say they have ZERO experience dealing with it irl. Doesn't look like it lost of the time but humans are always prob to empathize when they see something clearly wrong or unfair even if said thing goes directly against their personal beliefs til that point.
"We don't have people like this around"
This misconception is the problem. Korea has just as many lgbtq people as other countries, they just shut up about it because they are scared. They live a lie their whole lives in pain...
Chances are that within each of your guy's group of friends there is someone who isn't straight. And those chances are pretty high! Make sure you let everyone around you know you'd be ok with them being lgbtq and I swear you'd be surprised to find out things you would've never thought possible.
Great reaction! Very important video! ❤
they meant around them personally. not the whole of korea
@@loumarie1192 Yeah, but even in the close group of friends that might be the case and of cause not the whole of Korea. But that was pretty clear.
amen
Korea is a bit conservative country but ig if ppl comes out it'll make a difference
Actually I think they meant people who are accepting of the LGBTQ+ community around them
7:49 I love his statement here. Even if you can't understand, just remember that your words can hurt others. Coming out is not easy. If they decided to do so, It's means you're an important person to them and they're hoping you would still love them after the fact.
It’s extremely selfish to only think about how hard it is for YOU to have a child that’s LGBTQ+. If you really think that’s it’s hard for a parent, imagine what it’s like BEING the child who’s now got to live a tougher life because people will judge and hate them.
Your child TRUSTED and was willing to tell you the truth because they love you and this is how you react? YOU don’t have to live with being queer and being hated and judged for the rest of you life, they do. Completely and utterly selfish of parents to react negatively only because “Oh what will Martha say when she finds out? What will Grandma think? What will the church say?” etc. Some people put way too much importance on living life according to what friends, etc. think. Do you live your life for others or for yourself?
I’m not LGBTQ+, but I am getting closer to a point in my life where I have to think about having a house and a husband and children, etc. and even though I’m still religious I would NEVER deny my child or treat them any differently if they came out to me. In my eyes I don’t see how it’s difficult to have sympathy and understanding towards another human being. Love and accept your children, that’s all they’re asking for.
out of all languages u choose to speak facts💖

You are gonna be a great spouse/parent no doubt 💕
marry me hahaha but yes your mindset is what everyone should have if possible ,but that's not how it is:( I 'm glad to see more people tryin to be more human.

me too 😭😭😭
i’m partying this month solo but hey happy pride month! 😭
You just came out indirectly 😭
Aw dw you'll find your time. Don't rush the process
Same😭
The mom doesn't know that being bi doesn't need to be an experience, it's who you are and it isn't always a sexual thing- it could just be more romantic, and not sexual. Or it's your preference- it's just who you are. You don't need to have sex to have a sexuality.
That mom is seriously unhinged. Every time I see that tiktok I get angrier and angrier.
@@kayleighearl9408 Imagine getting angry just because of a mom joke LMAO.
As a 35 year old Korean woman I still haven’t came out yet sometimes i wish i was a different race so my parents would accept me as a lesbian plus I’m not even married yet I just tell them I’m not interested in marriage
I’m rooting for you to have a happy life sis!
I really wish you the best❤️
Fighting!!!
always know that you are accepted! south korea still has a very long way to go when it comes to lgbtq and i hope people can open their minds soon
If you're already an adult, i think its time to come out to your parents. You shouldn't have to feel like you have to keep it a secret! It shouldn't matter to them, and if treat you differently in a rude way then I'd cut them off or try to explain to them how it works. Wish you the best, girl.❤
The whole YOU CAN'T BE GAY/BI IF YOU HAVEN'T- argument is so dumb... It's like telling people HOW COULD YOU SAY YOU'RE STRAIGHT IF YOU'RE A VIRGIN.... Coz not everything has to be sexualized like in porn.
frr! I'm bi and never even romantically held hands with anyone
Yes! You can't just say stuff like that-
It's not like we can assume straight up if the baby that was just born is straight or not-
Ikr. That just disregards p3d0ph1lia,💀
Also applicable for ace people. "How can you know you're ace if you've never had sex?". It's so dumb.
I remember when I was on tinder and I matched with a guy and he assumed that because I was bisexual it meant that I've had a ton of sex because I like both men and women. When I told him that I was a virgin (at the time) he then asked "well how do you know that you're bi then?" And I said "because I've had crushes on both boys and girls and I've had boyfriends and girlfriends" it honestly pisses me off how bisexuals aren't taken seriously
As a Christian I want to say God loves all His children and he made everyone the way that they are from birth and doesn't make mistakes. Same sex couples can be seen in hundreds of mammal species, it is completely normal and everyone in the LGBTQ community is valid and loved. (I'm also bisexual, but did not know this until the last couple years). I have done my own digging into the topic over the years through personal conflict and prayer and no longer believe genuine love between any two human beings is in any way a sin (which is what I was raised to believe). Love is the purest emotion.
More Christians should be like you! God will be very proud with you for this!!
God is proud of people like you
Finally more christians are waking up to this😭 im a catholic myself and i want to be the best ally i can be. I had this talk with my mom that at its core its still love and all love comes from God. My family is mostly homophobic but she told me that she never rlly saw it that way. I hope im changing her mind abt the lgbtq+ community😭
Amen!
i hate when people (especially christians) paint God as a punisher. God made us. and He made us perfect! love is not a product of the evil and you can never go wrong with loving somebody, and if i am a lesbian, it means that He made me this way for a reason. no one really knows what happens after we die so we can't draw conclusions to whether the Bible is right or not, however if homosexuality does happen to be a sin, my goodness, love and faithfulness i have in Him and Jesus Christ, it will weight it out and He will forgive me
*The fact there is heavy shipping culture between the same sexes in Korea and japan poplularised by anime, yaoi and fan service but they [not all people in korea ofc] are not open minded to people who actually 'come out' is sad and confusing. I remember the shit ton of hate Holland [IDOL] got for comin out as gay---- like what? Treat everyone with kindness*
yeah it’s really weird, i don’t really understand why fan service (as in shipping two girls or two guys) is acceptable but when it comes to an actual lgbt couple it’s suddenly wrong.
I use to think it was strange but you gotta realize that they use it as just that, fan service and some are just fetishizing same sex fake couples. It’s similar to liking something in fantasy but not irl. When it becomes real it’s not fun for them anymore.
@@Niiena When I first got into k-pop, I thought korea was a lgtbtq friendly country with the shipping, fanservice and t but the reality is so different in the country. iTS strange to me----
@@nethu6577 well the touching is just seen differently bc of their culture. And shipping _inside_ of Korea is something I can’t really speak on but yeah it’s pretty weird
Honestly same sex shipping culture is not mainstream at all in Korea, and where it does exist, it's mostly created by and for straight women. Homosexuality is seen as a kind of taboo porn preference rather than an actual way to exist in real life. It's definitely getting better these last couple years but there is a long way to go.
"are you a child of God?" That's what got me the most cause I have seen where they are rejected in the supposed name of God or cause God won't love them but that right there got me cause he is saying you can be gay and love God and he will love you as I love you. That is real love and faith for all
Exactlyyyy
Yes God loves all his children, being LGBTQ isn't a choice, you are born that way, therefore God made you that way and there's nothing wrong with you (if you don't believe in God that's fine, I'm just coming from a Christian perspective)
@KaraDUN im probably wrong since its been literal years but i *think* genesis
my parents didnt accept me. they said women are for men and men are for women. im kinda not affected by their reason bc i dont believe in God but what hurted was them invalidating me and my efforts hahahha sucks to be me
@@astrolouise6904 yeah i read it too. i think it says "a MAN shall not sleep with a BOY"
"are you a child of God?" and "but are you okay?" really got me. I love that he can combine the love of God and his own child and not act like being gay will destroy their life. I have a daughter, and I hope I am able to communicate my love and understanding for her to the point where she doesn't need to feel anxious or scared to tell me these kinds of things.
Where is that said?
my parents will say the same thing if I told them about my sexuality, and they will probably kick me out
honestly i'm a bit worried, it sounded like a "just as long as you don't DO gay, it's ok as long as you don't fall to temptation" kind of thing. maybe projecting from what i've heard
My daughter came out to me 2 weeks ago! Im so proud of her and glad she trusts me with that!
Props to you👏🙌 it's great to have parents like you

@@kaitlyn3452 I GOT YOU!
please be my mom , my family would mercilessly kill me if they knew i was bi :/
i hate the idea that you have to be intimate with a gender for your sexuality to be valid. when i was younger, i was never intimate with anybody yet I knew i liked boys and girls. also, sexuality is not purely sex. being connected with someone involves emotional connection as well. if you have an emotional connection or attraction to a person of the same gender, that’s enough to be lgbtq
edit: typo
2nd edit: this applies to the aces too!!
it's also incredibly acephobic to expect them to only be able to know if they've have been intimate. Like,, no-
@nick gibbs Simple, you don't have to actually get intimate to know if you feel no sexual attraction. Saying that you need to have sex to know can put a lot of people in situations that might influence them for the rest of their life. It's great for you and your friend that you've come your way to figure things out but there are individuals who don't need to do what you did. It's not whether or not you like sex, it's if you feel sexual attraction or not. I am also a fellow ace person, just so you know.
@nick gibbs even if people are not intimate with the same or opposite gender, they still can know before that who they feel attracted to, whether romantically or in terms of sexual attraction. It's not a requirement to know. Teenagers have crushes without being intimate with anyone at first or never at all. Not everyone finds a partner of the same gender or opposite gender, some only have experience with a certain gender. That still makes them valid in their claim of their sexuality. Sex is not an requirement, even for sexuality. It's harmful for people to be put into a position in which people say they cannot feel a certain attraction to a certain gender because they've never been intimate. It's none of their business, nor does it affect the person asking. They're only putting harmful expectations on especially younger lgbtq+ folks. Figuring out their own sexuality and gender identity is hard enough, saying they should have at least some intimate experience to know only complicates things and can be stressful, even traumatic to some. Lgbtq+ people face enough trauma through discrimination and internalised homophobia/biphobia/transphobia/etc. We don't need to add more.
Yeah, I understand that the woman was joking, but it didn't sit right with me.

If you’re LGTBQ+ and you’re worried about no one accepting you, I wanna tell you that I accept you. You’re amazing, loved, and unique. You have a great life ahead of you.
Thank you
i’m not part of the lgtbq+ community but i have many friends around me that are and i will always support everyone, happy pride month

i came out to my mom on accident but she was super supportive so it meant a lot. happy pride month everyone 🏳️🌈
Lmao samee
yo me too💀
tell the story !!!!
Lmao same here, we were just discussing different sexualities and then my mom guessed what i was right away and she was very supportive and had a very calm attitude about it lol. This happened yesterday.
@@MelonHere20 I'm happy your mom sounds lovely (:
When I came out as Pansexual to my mom her reaction was “oh,ok!” (I had to explain pan to her it was so awkward)
I’m glad she accepted me❤️
Your mom: “Yeah pans are pretty cool, you can cook eggs with them..”
And bacon.. 🤤
And pancakes.
Ah yes breakfast food
7:35 this is incredibly important. them coming out to you is their moment, so stop making it about you just this once. keep an open mind and always focus on calming them down, reassuring them etc
Yesss even if its a 'im gonna need some time to come around but you will still be my child' its a hundred times better than leaving the room or something like that
Them saying they changed their minds about how they’d react made me cry 😭 a happy cry
Yesss it's so good to see growth!
When I was pushed out the closet at 14, my Hispanic moms reaction was the same as the one on 3:48, she drank a lot and we constantly argued and she kicked me out the house multiple times. But now at 24 she’s supportive and our relationship is a lot stronger than what it was. It does get better guys and come out when YOURE ready not with other people pressuring you. There are so many more people who will love and care for you if the outcome comes out bad (hopefully not) happy pride month babies ❤️🏳️🌈
please show them videos from korean queer channels or even do collaborations to help support lgbtqia+ korean creators during this month and highlight their voices!!

The only thing that's really sad is how bisexuals get double discriminated and especially when it comes to bisexual men.
How does one get double discriminated?
@@juveline8162 men fetishize them and the lgbtq+ community say theyre not ‘gay enough’ so yeah..
@@juveline8162 Because women are mostly praised for being bisexual, wow bisexual men are look down upon just because they like different option. And because mostly straight men think it's gross anyway and mostly because of stereotypes that surrounds bisexuals.
For example some people say you have to choose ,some people say it's greed ,some people say it's a phase some people say just because you're bisexual you're gay things like that.
When that's not even true at all
Right
@@breeramsey899 I never understood how some people within the LGBT community can be so mean with bi people 🙄 It’s perfectly fine if they like both genders, why are they trying to put everyone in a box, it’s so toxic
5:30 that Dad is absolutely awesome:)
My son is now 13. When he was 10 he came and said “mom, I Think I’m bisexual”. I didn’t surprise or shock me but he was crying. I was driving so I had to stop the car at the side of the Road, to give him a hug and say “I don’t Care whether you want to kiss boys or girls. I will support you No matter what!”
Today he’s not sure of his sexuality and that’s okay. He’ll find out when he’s ready. My point is.... our biggest job as parents is to love and support our children. No matter what! Who ever they get to love themselfs is completly out of anyones hands, but theirs!
Aww ur a great mother
Omg, that's beautiful. 🌷You're an amazing mother♥♥
Thank you for being so accepting. Acceptance and understanding is one of the most greatest things a parent can give. (:
💜
That’s amazing, I’m glad he has a mom like you
Lucky him💕
The third mom seems funny, but it lowkey has biphobic and acephobic rhetoric (actually, a lot of biphobic and acephobic rhetorics are similar)... I don't think straight people need to have sex to know they're straight lol. Kind of cried at the rest of the video though lol.
I agree
yeah i was thinking the same exact thing, it seemed funny but it was pretty biphoic 🤨
exactly my point
Yeah it's definitely biphobic
Agreed, but it might just be a specific type of stereotypical misunderstanding from a lack of communication and growing up around the LGBTQIA(+?) community, because my mother was the same way. She was more accepting generally, but questioned if I individually was sure of my pansexuality as a virgin at the time of coming out. I entertained the idea for her sake just because I don't like ruling out possibilities and was psychologically intrigued, but as expected in the end we had to have a talk where I explained how that was offensive and was an assumption to be corrected. I was going to suggest it was generational, but before that a younger past therapist of mine asked the same thing, instead linking it to trauma. Luckily I knew of my sexuality way before that so I was able to give her some insight too. 😅
3:56 I can relate to this video. I remembered when I first came out to my mother that I was bisexual, she was confused and mad at me. We fought back and forth and I was crying the whole time. It doesn’t bother my mom anymore that I’m attractive to girls but she still wishes for me to end up with a man though.
I recently had this conversation with my sister. She's a mom and one of her friend's kids just came out as trans. We talked about how at the end of the day, you just want your child to be happy, healthy, and productive. The rest doesn't really matter. She loves my nephew no matter what (we both do of course) and if he ever came out to her she'd give him whatever support he needed, because she doesn't want a miserable child or worse, a dead child. Your personal discomfort is not worth ruining your child's life.
Happy Pride Month, everyone!
"are you a child of God?" now that makes me cry more, that family is so lucky to have a really open mind, his father is so ready to accept him and is also ready to guide him😭 that's just so sweet! what every child needs in this generation.
I really love how watching these videos made everyone change their answer and realise it's way more important for a child to feel safe and loved than how surprised the parents are. It just goes to show that LGBT+ representation IS important and CAN make a difference.
Ok 2:30 no the mom is not cool. She is discriminating against bisexuals and that is not how it works. She is not saying real things. There is such a stigma around bisexuals. We DONT have to have sex with a girl AND a guy to be bisexual. It’s a feeling in your heart, just like love. I’m sorry if you can’t understand that, but I am a bisexual woman, and it doesn’t just lead into sex right away. You’ve got to have that emotional feeling. And another thing, people are afraid bisexuals are gonna cheat on their partner just because we’re attracted to both genders. If you don’t have a hold on yourself and what you want that is true. But with me, I can control myself and I will not cheat on my partner because I want only my partner even though I’m attracted to girls as well. It’s just common sense people.
yea, i feel super bad for the person trying to come out.
yeah i feel bad for the person coming out, idk i just don't find it funny
Yeah
I'm gay, but when I was younger I was kinda split, not in a bad way, I just went both ways and there was nothing wrong with that. Yes, I've leaned more towards one gender over the other but a person's heart and feelings are valid. You are always valid
literally i was like no tf she’s not
to every lgbtq+ person in this comment section: I'm so proud of you. Your sexuality is valid, your gender is valid, YOU are valid. Even if people arround you don't accept you, just know that you're loved
ok i think i love u 🤧💗
you too 💗
🥰🥰🥰

1:49 "Is that reaction possible?"
IM CACKLING
5:18 whoa low key caught off guard, usually religious people say the opposite. Atleast the ones i seen. Nice change of pace, hella wholesome
@ThatRandomLady you’re amazing 💜
They're not religious people. Real Christian religious people are almost extinct in the West. What you see here is a deformed, mutated version of it. I guess that's what happens when people don't read the holy books they always proclaim about.
You don't have to go very far back to see that the church would not accept these practices and many others, they only do now due to the cultural impact of "progressivism" (lack of better word) that has completely smashed Christianity. Now whether that is a good or bad thing is up to debate.
It will also be interesting to see whether Islam follows the same path or not.
@@Manic_Panic exactly, as being raised in the "real" religious Christians my family would dropkick me 😂. Most of Christianity is mutilated but I'm not gonna get into that. It would be interesting to see Jewish or Islamic views on it.
My grandpa said in heaven, there is no straight or gay and no male or female. There's just love and praising God. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
@@Manic_Panic lol you're delusional. Go back to burn "witches" and send kids crusades to die in Jerusalem as in the good old days of Christianity, LMAO
I am an Indian and we asian are known to be conservative and narrow minded on LGBT+ community. But I talked to my parents about this topic and they really are supportive. Never expected from an Indian parent to be supportive and understanding on this topic. Anyway happy pride month 🏳️🌈
Coming from the same country I didn't even know what lgbtq is, and not even know about what is gay. Everybody here jokes that he's gay, I thought it was just a joke. But I'm glad that now I know about what the whole thing is about. Even though I don't know about it fully, I want to learn so that my future generation will know what that is🏳️🌈
@@keerthigummadi good
Knowing different things and educating oneself is good
as a trans and bisexual Indian this really touched my heart, my parents aren't the most open minded and they will disown me if i come out. God bless your parents.
Same! i recently educated my parents on the topic and my dad seems cool with it, my mom on the other hand isn't tho :( I'm asexual myself and i really hope i could come out to them soon but I'm nervous lol
@@mehruhameed4595 can you give me soms tips on how to educate your parents. I really don't known how to start. And the fact i am still confused about my sexuality is making it hard for me
I feel bad for all the LGBTQ+ Koreans out there.
My own Mother was a beach about my coming out, but at least I don't live in a place where people think you don't exist at all.
8:22 Yes, there are maybe not many _openly_ non-heterosexual people around, but LGTBQ+ people _are_ everywhere. Many people just do not see us, because we cannot always feel safe to be who we are openly and/or because we are assumed to be straight. So people think there are no LGBTQ+ people around, but how does one know, if one only assumed everyone to be hetero before anything else and if the environment is not safe for people to be openly who they are. The fact that "coming out" culture is there, is a problem. The goal is all about making LGBTQ+ something that is not "special" but rather is normal, just the same way being hetero is "the normal". Love is love.
Happy pride everyone!
Exactly, I was like there’s not a big black “X” over Korea that says there’s no LGTBQ+ people here
YES when they all said they didn't know any queer person i was like 'yes you do, they just aren't out' lmao im glad to see them have learned from this video so hopefully they can be better friends/family to their queer peers :D
Kind if funny is that if the theories on why people are gay by scientists today are true, muslim and african countries would have the most gay people in total since the average women bears more children and they generally prefer sons. Fun Fact: If all mainland chinese gay people (all of them not just those that are out) formed a country , it would be the 20th biggest country in the world population-wise.
i think they meant around them personally not like the whole of korea
@@loumarie1192 either way, whether they meant korea or the people around them, it can still be true about the people around them as well, co-workers, friends, unless they have discussed this with them, which we cannot know of course so it’s pointless to debate. but just because someone thinks (without knowing/asking/figuring out in other ways) that all their friends, co-workers are straight, does not mean they are. even if they have a male friend dating someone who is female, does not mean they are necessarily straight. that’s the whole deal with heteronormativity, everyone is assumed straight until they ”come out”. saying this from personal experience, as none of my childhood friends, relatives, no one, knew until i told them at the age of 19, they always assumed i was straight (clearly from questions like ’do you have a crush on him’ ’do you have a boyfriend’ etc) and this is something that happens probably more often than not, sadly. I hope and think through these videos their eyes will open more, to see past the normativity and assumptions of heterosexuality. (: again, happy pride! ❤️
I still remember when I heard my mom and my older sister talking about how my little sister got a girlfriend at school. Me and my little sister are pretty close so I was kind of sad to find out that she came out to everyone in the family except me. I went and asked her about it later on and she said that I was the first person who she came out to and that I said "okay? And what about it?" while half asleep. She asked if I was okay with it and I said "of course! Why would I care?" but I didn't remember anything when I woke up completely. Apparently my nonchalant attitude gave her the courage to tell the rest of the family... next time I'll have to pay more attention even if I'm half asleep lol
Happy pride month everyone!
0:46 SHSHDDGG WHY ARE THEY SO FUNNY :"D THEY WOULD BE SUCH GREAT MOMS I JUST KNOW IT
PD-nims, if there's a chance maybe you could invite someone who identifies as one of LGBTQ for an interview with your casts so that they could have an even deeper understanding towards the feelings of someone within that community, maybe they could probably befriend them along the way.
it´s an interesting idea, but keep in mind that a) finding a lgbtq+ korean person is very hard, and b) convincing them to be part of a video for the whole world to see is even harder
@@__-ul1lr oh yeah! Identity privacy is also something very important in these parts.
@@__-ul1lr there's a lot of Korean youtubers who are openly queer! so that might be a good place to start. but no queer Koreans aren't hard to find, more just SK is way behind on queer issues so you're probably right that they're most likely gonna be closeted & not want to be outed through a youtube interview lmao
Lol I called a girl hot infront of my dad and he said "you're right"
and he kept scrolling through Female athletes in the sport we play asking me if I think they're hot lmao. I was like "what about the hot guy right there" and he said "But hot women can't get you pregnant"
my dad lmao just chilled
It was kinda funny the thing that "you have to go in the trench to say it" but like... Sometimes this argument is used to invalidate what people say and feel. I mean, you don't have to eat sh*t to know you won't like it.
I really wish my coming out story was like these in this video. Seeing people get relatively positive reactions is so heart warming. My experience was very different and my mom went in my room and put all of my belongings in the trash telling me i didn't deserve any of the stuff she bought me. That included my makeup, clothes, television, and more. It was so upsetting and i could only cry while i was putting all my stuff away and cleaning up the mess she made. I often thought about running away but it wasn't a possibility for me as I didn't have anywhere to go. My mom has slowly started to become more accepting and is trying harder now than ever to understand me and the LGBT community which I'm grateful for. But that experience will never leave my head. I already have to deal with majority of the world against me but to have your own family not accepting is very hard. It's like you're all alone. (I'm pan, enby, and demisexual btw and happy pride month!! If anyone is having a hard time don't hesitate to share your experience. I will try to cheer you up to the best of my ability)
You are really strong bub.. I wish I could also come out to my parents.. But it seems impossible
@@KimTaehyung-gz4yw thank you for the kind words~ it might not be possible to come out at this point and time but when you have back up plans in case they aren't accepting, go for it! I'm hoping that you have nothing but a good experience when you do so.
@@soobinsnostril577 thank youuu ✨ I hope everything will turn out good
I would support my child in the future because I’m bisexual too but my parents don’t know and they never will know because I won’t tell them😂😂they would bury me alive because I’m Muslim so it’s not allowed in my religion
I hope you will be able to live safely and meet more supporting people in the future.
Same except I'm lesbian

same im also muslim, but im graysexual
same omg i'll literally never tell them
The way Rua got silent re-evaluating his view on it throughout the video... Damn yeah see this is why we need more LGBTQ+ representation in the media - to get the conversation started!
you really can’t know how vulnerable one feels when coming out to someone until you’ve done it..probably one of the most stressful things i’ve ever done and i hate that we have to go through that

My 15yr old daughter came out to me as being "bi maybe lesbian" after watching a "This Is Us" episode together. She cried when she told me and said she had been nervous which surprised me. I've always been so openly accepting of literally everyone but it's still just one of those things that brings such fear. You never really know how someone will react and if they'll accept you. I also found out she didn't even know I was bi myself lol (all my relationships with women had been before she was born). We bought matching hoodies a week later that said "Queer all year" ❤
this is so heartwarming, i may have cried a little tear :(
That's so wonderful of you! The matching hoodies is a beautiful way of support. So question... "I WAS bi myself..." WAS it a phase, or do you miss that part of loving others? Just wondering...
I honestly am blessed to have a family that’s supportive of the lgbtq+ community, but it makes me feel sad that there are people out there who don’t have a supportive family.
Some families will kill their children if they knew. And some countries will kill lgbtq people as well.
It must be nice to have open minded non-religious parents and to live in free countries
@@needtoshop7253 They never said that their parents are non-religious and that they live in a free country. You are doing to much
Thank you for this!! It's an important topic.
It was so touching seeing them reacting so emotionally to the people that were accepted, it’s so lovely that just a little exposure like this made them have a lot of empathy for people coming out
"How if your child is gay?" is a common 'attack' here whenever I said homosexual is normal. I always answer: 'I'd be worried for them because there is people like you. Nothing is wrong with my child but there are a lot of flaw with other people.'
I hope all parents accepted what they are child gender or something. Happy Pride Month to all😭💜🥰😍🤩🏳️🌈🌈
I Don't have parents, they left me in 2018 and I'm 14 now and I'll probably come out to my sister in some years ,I just hope that she accepts me ,because she's the only person I have now...💜🌈🏳️🌈

It's the lack of education... They have no hormones problem... They just wanna be against logic and nature which always end up by fails
2022 is going to be my first pride out of the closet to everyone. I'm so excited! Videos like this helped me come out over time because it showed me that the people who matter will be supportive no matter who you love.
I hope the year has been wonderful for you! Indeed, this is an excellent video... and we had to go to Korea for the insight. Whew.
Coming out videos where the parents react in a loving and accepting way makes me cry pretty easily, because I know I'd never get that reaction from my parents, also I'm glad there are parents out there who are actually good parents.
This really shows that anyone can change if their educated just a little bit🥰🥰
2:06 Lmfao the most real mom in the world 🤣
I really really loved the questions asked at the beginning and end. Like them being able to see how the parents reaction effects the person coming out and learning how to react not with shock or surprise but instead just saying it’s ok. That’s something I would have really loved to hear growing up. Being okay with it is fine but it’s important to let your child know that they are okay to just be them and it lets this huge weight off of their shoulders.
imo, if parents aren't ready for everything and anything when having kids, they shouldn't have them. If you feel uncomfortable with accepting your child the way they are you should have thought it through first
*Higanbana*
4:49 got my heart to melt-
5:40 THE WAY THEY JUST CHUCKED IT AT THEM HAHAH
I was really happy to see how the men’s mindset changed from the beginning of the video. thank you for this, i think it’s really important for people to see real situations like these in order to learn
The one with the religious dad was so sweet. Im not religious and neither is my family, but I can imagine how terrifying that was to come out to someone who does seem to be incredibly religious. Im glad it ended well and that all his dad cared about was that his son was okay. Really does prove theres no excuse to not accept your child no matter what
if I was a parent I would gladly accept them no matter what. I'm not going to be the first person to not accept, hurt and invalidate my child's feelings.
happy pride month everyone 🌈🌈🌈
I remember when my cousin told me that she likes girls, I was like. Ok, so is there a girl you like. She told me yes. Love is love , be happy with whom makes you happy. Something that I been telling my cousin for the past 16 years, you don’t need to prove to anyone, why you feel what you feel for another women and or men ( she’s Bi) that’s your business, be happy being you.
I came out to my parents 3 years ago and they were so supportive. This got me crying!!
AwwwMinji’s second time crying on this channel. I remember her crying when she asked her father if he wanted her as his daughter in his next life too. ❤️
I feel like some parents forget their kids are their own people.
I just want to say, I love the two girls! They seem like they are going to be amazing parents: their children will know they are always loved unconditionally... ahghh, they are such beautiful souls, I can't :3

I remember some years ago that my friend's brother came out, even though we already knew but it was really heart warming seeing that his mom supported him. Ever since, my friend has been the most supporting person that I've ever met and she isn't afraid to talk about these topics openly and freely, even during class.
I may not be part of the LGTBQ+ Community, but I'll always support everyone no matter what 🥰
Happy Pride Month
i am so lucky to have supportive parents. they're still conservative in some aspects (boys wearing skirts etc) but i am incredibly grateful for what i have.
my heart goes out to all of you whose families aren't supportive. please remember that you're not alone and if no one else is, i'm here for you. don't hesitate to reach out if you need to talk ❤️
It's not a healthy thing for me (a closeted lesbian) to be watching these things, I'm in tears from watching these videos and imagining I'll have to do that some day
Please remember that finding a friend in the same community as you can help tremendously, they can be there with you to support you, and might have advice for managing the stress around coming out to your chosen people.
To anyone that feels this way: it’s okay to not come out. Your sexuality is very personal and if it just doesn’t feel right, don’t feel like you NEED to come out. It’s not gonna change how you feel. Happy pride month! ❤️🏳️🌈
Right? I don't feel like i should come out like if u ask me i wont lie i will tell you the truth but why does it have to be like a whole thing like do straight people come out? No! Then why should we
I mean its okay if you want to but you don't have to like i will come home with same sex partner and you don't get to be surprised like im sorry but why did u assume i was straight

i remember i was at a cadet camp. we stayed their for abt 2 weeks. one day, we were at the woods but it started to thunderstorm and we had to go back to the camp. i sat right beside my friend who i was chill with and we started talking. to make the time pass by, we played would you rather. he said this,
"would you rather be a lesbian or date a bisexual guy."
and i said,
"date a bisexual guy."
his response, "okay, hit me up"
at that point, i realized he came out to me. i remember having this shocked face. my reactions were "OMG NO WAYY."
1. first guy i met that was part of the lgbtq
2. im surprised he trusted me that much to tell me hes bi
3. yes i did not acknowledge that he wanted to hit me up
after that, i asked a bunch of questions abt himself and he was so comfortable telling me. i think my reaction gave him a little bit of comfort. we were 13 and he trusted a person that he only knew for less than 2 weeks. i rlly felt i was lucky and a trustworthy person
that was 2 years ago. we didnt talk after we got out of camp, i do wish i did talk to him bc he was a great person. plus, i couldnt date bc #asianparents HAHAHHDKCJC
Omg that was super cute (I cried so hard tho) We need more of this
Not me here bawling my eyes out because of the dad that said “you’re a child of God” 😭😭😭😭 God loves us all, who are we to judge anyone! No one should hate another person no matter what! You can’t say you believe in God and then hate on another person... “love one another like i love you” very simple way of living but us as humans complicate shit!
seeing all the comforting parents makes me envy, when i came out i was shouting, crying, trying the best i could to feel like me parents still loved me. If you have gone through that too, just know you will always be loved no matter why or who. Stay strong
I'm crying real hard. I still remember when I came out to my mom but she didn't understand what I'm trying to say. She said "No, You're not, you are girl" And I can see that she can't accept me as a bi. I even tell it to my da but he just stared at me and go. And now we never talk about my gender and it's really hard. To all lgbtq+ out there happy pride month! Raise our flag 🌈
They probably don't have knowledge about the LGBTQ community, they're probably not bad people, just come from a different mindset. Don't stop being yourself because parents are people an being people they have flaws. I wish you the best 🤍
@@lauragoreni3020 Ignorance isn't really an excuse in this age of technology.
Why tf did u even turn lesibian , like wtf is the point of turning gay or anything else smh
@@Roadtotekkengodkazuya First of all, they said they were bi, not lesbian. Second, sexuality is not a choice. No one "turns" gay. They are born with it. The same way that you don't choose to be straight. Do you honestly think people "choose" to have violence thrown at them? To get hate crimed? Come on.
@@Roadtotekkengodkazuya “turning gay” you don’t just wake up on a random ass day and be like “imma be gay today” nobody does that…you love who you love, sexuality is not a choice…gtf
Happy pride month Eveybody and I would love to see them react to LGBTQ Actavis and stone wall .🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈💖💜💙
The child of god one was so cute, that's such a great dad. Accepting his son, comforting him in all ways possible. Respect to that father he will raise a great son!

The girls are so understanding they’re amazing 🥺❤️❤️❤️
