Hi, I'm Meli. This was my first Moth story for the theme Revelations where I talk about how I first realized I was gay. Check out my channel where I talk about all the things.
If this popped up in your recommendations...then you’re probably a lesbian Edit: sorry to all the bisexuals, I actually didnt think anyone was gonna see this comment tbh. Signed, A lesbian
Excuse me, maybe it's just because of the sarah and Adianna vids I watch. Or the Michaeng ship compilation vids....or the hayley Kiyoko music that I like to...oh shit!! I'm gay!!
When she said she clearly wasn't gay bc she didn't look "like a lesbian" and didn't like girls who did... that's literally why it took me 18 years to realize omfg
its sad cuz, like, not all gay men are effeminate, not all straight men are macho, not all straight women are not also "tomboys", and not all lesbians are butch...we gotta root out the binary everywhere..
Well... You don't wear a beanie in summer for no reason, or baseball tee when it's not baseball season... If you check her nails and they're always trim, or if K-Stew is her style twin....
I identify as bisexual, but I've felt this way about men my whole life. I do get strong crushes on celebrity men, but not guys in real life. This is making me start to doubt my sexuality again. helppp
This made me cry!! I’m 17 and I realized I was a lesbian and came out to my friends and family about 2 months ago. I’m so glad I was able break down that wall and embrace my inner Ellen Edit: Ellen sucks. I think I was alluding to something she said in the video about an inner ellen? Idk I wrote this two years ago
CT2507 I’m not trying to mold myself after anybody. All I meant was that I have embraced my inner gayness and am now courageous enough to live my truth. The use of Ellen’s name in that context was just another way of saying that I have accepted myself for who I am.
Just a girl it was a meme that sprouted about 3 months ago because J.K Rowling stated that Dumbledore was gay and the whole internet blew up about how J.K. Rowling was the only one who could determine your sexuality. It was a pretty great phase, Shame you didn’t hear about it.
wow, as a straight woman, I finally understand now, how similar gays and straights are in matters of heart... its just different sexual orientation, other than that, feelings are all the same... thank you!
Bushra Monowar you seriously just now realized that? I mean, good for you, I guess, but how hard a realization could that possibly be?? Don’t break your arm patting yourself on the back.
@@calisongbird you are a negative energy. Your comment says who you are. I always valued all women equally and men. Regardless different sexual orientation. But I never knew the emotional feelings are the same. It's because we never meet openly LGBTQ people in our part of the world. A.ka. South Asia where these are still taboo to talk about. And both Hinduism and islam (predominant south Asian religion) are very traditional
I looked at my sister's playlist on Spotify...... _Girl in red?_ _Hayley Kioko?_ _Sweater weather?_ HMMMMMMMMM so anyway our genes are gay because there's two gays in this household
I'm currently identifying as bi, but figuring out my sexuality is an ongoing, confusing process. Like, I've had multiple crushes on guys (as a girl) but have had this intense feeling of "get away from me NOW" whenever I've been closer to them (granted, this has only been, like, twice). Plus, a year ago I developed a strong crush on a female friend of mine (hence bisexuality), and can imagine sleeping with women, but dont feel as immediately attracted to them as I sometimes am with guys. If anyone feels like helping me make sense of this, go ahead 😂 Edit for clarification: I do think I'm sexually and romantically attracted to guys and was just uncomfortable with those specific guys approaching me
I feel the same! For myself, I think I'm more romantically into women and sexually into men but I can feel both ways about men and women, if that makes sense?
I feel as though labels are not necessary, yes some people feel better identifying themselves properly. That's not for everyone, I myself don't follow this "norm of labeling" I'll love who I love. I mean if everything is confusing, that's normal because the world holds so many questions that don't have straight answers.
Vanadiumoxid that’s. exactly. how I feel! i hate it when any guy touches me, but I still like looking at them and crushing on them. with girls im way more open and I get crushes on them all the time. for now im content with the bisexual label because only i know how I feel romantically, and that includes both sexes. if anything happens in the future that changes that, then that’s that! as long as you know how you feel and are okay with it, you have nothing to worry about ☺️☺️
Vanadiumoxid for me it’s the opposite but same idea. i get crushes on guys and think of them sexually, but I also feel sexually attracted to girls? Like especially if they ping my gaydar if that makes sense. Like sometimes someone will tell me they’re into girls, and then I’ll start crushing a little. But I don’t normally get romantic crushes on them like I do with guys. I am a little clueless about what all of this means and would love to hear any updates
Me-questions sexuality TH-cam- how do you know your a lesbian Me-*sweats proficiently*nah nah this aint it chief TH-cam- shows king princess Me-damn maybe it is it chief
Times truly have changed. My mother who was married to my father for 50 years and had 3 children was always a bit "odd". Growing up I would notice this but as I got older I *really* started to notice something was different, my father was oblivious like most men. It was always the little things because being attracted to opposite sex(lesbian) was not acceptable at all and could have dire consequences. It was very hard to talk with her about it and it wasn't until the very end she finally told me. It was such a sad moment, a person who has gone through life, living in the "gray", terrified of revealing themselves. That is no way to live life. I'm so glad that it's different today, at least in "most" parts of the world. You can say what you want and be who you want to be.
This lady is very cool, intelligent, insightful, witty, and pretty! Any lady would be very lucky to have her for a girlfriend, mate, and partner. I wish her lots of love and happiness!
100%!! This is so sweet. She is one in a million and I feel immensely lucky every day with her 🥰 Much love, 🤗 Meli's life partner and co-maker of her new video ❤ check it out and let us know what you think!
OMG, I watched your vid and realized that your story is my story. I'm 33 and only found out I'm gay about a year ago. Everything you said you thought, I thought too. Thank you so much for making this vid, now I don't feel so alone and awkward about coming out at a late stage in life. Xoxo
Kaz Einhaus Hello Kaz, I hope you're doing great. I'm sorry that I feel the curiosity to ask; you said you finally realized being gay a year ago and you're 33. What happened at 32 that didn't happen all the years before that? I am 35 and for me it was an early discovery. I will really appreciate your kindness in responding me. Good luck
I remember with my first boyfriend everytime he wanted to make out I just thought to myself "ugh, this again??" and would avoid any sort of touchiness if I could. At the time i thought it was just because he was my first boyfriend but after it ended just the thought of being with a man again made me so unbelievably uncomfortable. Then I came out as Lesbian!!! I feel so much happier with women☺️💖
Angela Steward OMG!! Thank you for sharing this. I was also 43 before realizing I love women. Though, it’s not been easy. Two years later (almost 45) I’m still adjusting to it but I wanted to say how much I appreciate you sharing this. I feel so invisible as it seems all the focus is on the 30 and under crowd. Sometimes I wonder where do I fit here. So happy to know I’m not the only 40+ out here trying to navigate this new world 😊
Kemba Brown oh girl there are plenty of us. A group on FB called Lilly (Late In Life Lesbians) where there are many women you will be able to identify with including myself. facebook.com/groups/442125912647958/
When I was in like 8th grade, I watched this video crying, wondering what I was going to do. Now I'm 17, and proud of who I am. Hearing about the feelings in this story were a really big step on the path of understanding myself, and I am so grateful for this.
"I've been living my life in grey, but I can now confirm that sex, love, and life feel fucking amazing in colour." genuinely amazing how clever that line was worded, what a way to end the story!
How is it possible that your 'finding out you were lesbian' story and mine are so pretty much the same? Differences: I was 32 (you were 30), I was curious about a show called The L Word whose incredible and giant ad I saw on a trip to Boston, and when I come back to Madrid I look for it on TH-cam and voilà: my head (and something else) exploded that night (needless to say I didn't sleep that night... and the next... and the next). Last difference, the saddest one: Tinder didn't exist by then, so it took me about a year to date someone, and only because my mom introduced us LOL (and I got my heart broken for the first and last time)!!!! Anyway young lady, thanks for sharing such a very funny, touchy, encouraging and honest story.
This is such a touching and funny video. Your "I finally understood it" part (5:45+) had me in tears. Congratulations on finding your real self, and for sharing your discovery.
Relate to this so much. Exact same experience of thinking everyone was exaggerating and also thinking I couldn't be gay because I didn't look like the stereotype. Unfortunately, at 31, I'm experiencing my first real heartbreak. I was supposed to learn how to do this over a decade ago and feel ridiculous for not being able to move on. Thank you for sharing!
Yep we all had the moment... well most knew but society and families made choices for us... love the plunger story and congratulations on finding yourself... I did not get to be me until I was almost forty.
This is the reason we fight for equality and representation. Not just for our kids growing up, but for the adults who have already grown up in a world that refused to let them be who they are
The similarities between your experience of realization and the one I currently experienced last month is uncanny. It’s like you wrote this about me and put into words everything I was feeling my whole life. I finally came out to my family and now I’m working on getting that wonderful first date you described. Thank you so much for being you!!!! ❤️
Aww so glad this was helpful for you! If you haven't run into it already, I promise it only gets better :) actually started making videos again and posted a part 2 - check it out and let me know what you think!
Melissa, thanks for a great story. I thought I was a late bloomer at 25. lol. I was even married at the time (UNSATISFIED) when I realized was into women- NOT men. This was way before gay characters on tv, the internet, chat rooms and you tube. Much harder then but I was very fortunate to come out in California so there was a gay community starting. YEAH! Hope you are happy.
I searched up just to make sure and I know now that I am straight! Thank you so much! Also, I love all sexualities. I was questioning myself but now I am not. Don’t rush it, let your path go the way you want and need it too. Self-discovery is amazing! Keep going
Thanks for this. I appreciate the late-in-life realisation, and the way you talk about feeling toward guys... Like yeah, he's attractive and kissing is bearable, but no more!
Wow, you're so pretty and charming. I'm also lesbian and I just wanted to say, you're so much adorable and a great story-teller. The story is so touching, thank you for telling this, it inspires a lot! Good wishes from Russia:-)
dude, I thought I was bi for so long I never knew why every time a guy would try to flirt with me I would feel disgusted or every time my friends were freaking out over male celebrities I would be completely apathetic, I thought I just wasn't into that type of guys, turns out I'm just not into dudes period
How do you know you're bi? When you enthusiastically do stuff with guys but like looking at girls and feel funny when they touch you or share a room too. ☺️
This was amazing. Your personality with describing things was 👏 I really hope to see more content from you and one day see you performing on a big stage.
Lol this made me remember when I started looking up videos titled, "how to know if you're a lesbian". Those days were hell, but I was 15 at the time, and now I'm about to turn 19 in late November and life has never been easier. Sexuality shouldn't be such a terrifying thing, it should be natural, and hopefully someday we get to that point where people fall for who they fall for and don't worry about it. Great video.
So glad it's been helpful. From someone who has had meltdowns in the past about their own sexuality, I can assure you it gets way better and fucking magical.
Not sure why this was recommended to me but I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm very happy for you. You remind me of a friend of mine who just recently discovered that she's bisexual. I say good for you and don't look back on those wasted years but look forward to your life of freedom and being your true self :)
Honestly this is so relatable and so affirming. I don't know if anyone else in the LGBT community also occasionally doubts their identity, but I do sometimes- and then I find videos like this where I can relate to everything and I remember what lead me to realizing I'm gay.

It’s a gay panic! ;). I also fail to see the problem, and I’m a bi guy. Go with what you’re attracted to.
Why do labels matter? If you are attracted to someone, what difference does it make what their gender is? It only matters if the label matters to you.
Maybe check your sanity
Brooke • So what's the problem, babe, you're a lesbian then. Embrace it!
You shouldn’t label yourself. Listen to your heart and feel free to love whoever you want.
This made me cry!! I’m 17 and I realized I was a lesbian and came out to my friends and family about 2 months ago. I’m so glad I was able break down that wall and embrace my inner Ellen

George Lackey you’re probably right, but not for the reasons you’re thinking of
don't look up to perverted people like Ellen, for fuck's sake. seek out role models who are harmonious and mold yourself after them.

How is it possible that your 'finding out you were lesbian' story and mine are so pretty much the same? Differences: I was 32 (you were 30), I was curious about a show called The L Word whose incredible and giant ad I saw on a trip to Boston, and when I come back to Madrid I look for it on TH-cam and voilà: my head (and something else) exploded that night (needless to say I didn't sleep that night... and the next... and the next). Last difference, the saddest one: Tinder didn't exist by then, so it took me about a year to date someone, and only because my mom introduced us LOL (and I got my heart broken for the first and last time)!!!! Anyway young lady, thanks for sharing such a very funny, touchy, encouraging and honest story.
This described so perfectly what coming out to myself was like! I can't wait to fall in love with a woman and buy matching monogram towels 😂
This is such a touching and funny video. Your "I finally understood it" part (5:45+) had me in tears. Congratulations on finding your real self, and for sharing your discovery.
This was amazing... now you are the inner voice to so many! Hope we can be as strong as you to see love and colors in life. It's never too late
I loved everything about this!
From the relatable plunger story 🤣 to looking up quizzes to finally living life in color.
Thank you for sharing! ❤️
this was so incredibly accurate and refreshingly vulnerable. thanks for sharing!
Great story and I want to know who blew that perfectly timed flute!
The hosts for the Moth Story Slam (which is what this is) toot the flute like that at the five minute mark so the storyteller knows to wrap up
One time...at band camp...
@@nomadiclocust I think OP knows all that they just think the timing was funny and perfect and are asking specifically who it was. I could be wrong.
I don't think I've ever related so much to a story in my life. Thank you for sharing
You’re amazingly relatable. Please make more videos. 💜 hearing your experience definitely helped me to feel less alone.
Relate to this so much. Exact same experience of thinking everyone was exaggerating and also thinking I couldn't be gay because I didn't look like the stereotype. Unfortunately, at 31, I'm experiencing my first real heartbreak. I was supposed to learn how to do this over a decade ago and feel ridiculous for not being able to move on. Thank you for sharing!
This is the most relatable thing ever ♥️
Yep we all had the moment... well most knew but society and families made choices for us... love the plunger story and congratulations on finding yourself... I did not get to be me until I was almost forty.
This is the reason we fight for equality and representation. Not just for our kids growing up, but for the adults who have already grown up in a world that refused to let them be who they are
The similarities between your experience of realization and the one I currently experienced last month is uncanny. It’s like you wrote this about me and put into words everything I was feeling my whole life. I finally came out to my family and now I’m working on getting that wonderful first date you described. Thank you so much for being you!!!! ❤️
Aww so glad this was helpful for you! If you haven't run into it already, I promise it only gets better :) actually started making videos again and posted a part 2 - check it out and let me know what you think!
This is one of my favorite videos. I recently came out and this right here is so damn relatable.
This story was my aha-moment of realizing that I AM lesbian in December 2019. I have watched it so often ever since and am so grateful. Thank you!
I'm so glad this was helpful for you and trust me, it only gets better!
Melissa, thanks for a great story. I thought I was a late bloomer at 25. lol. I was even married at the time (UNSATISFIED) when I realized was into women- NOT men. This was way before gay characters on tv, the internet, chat rooms and you tube. Much harder then but I was very fortunate to come out in California so there was a gay community starting.
YEAH! Hope you are happy.
I searched up just to make sure and I know now that I am straight! Thank you so much! Also, I love all sexualities. I was questioning myself but now I am not. Don’t rush it, let your path go the way you want and need it too. Self-discovery is amazing! Keep going
Thanks for this. I appreciate the late-in-life realisation, and the way you talk about feeling toward guys... Like yeah, he's attractive and kissing is bearable, but no more!
Wow, you're so pretty and charming. I'm also lesbian and I just wanted to say, you're so much adorable and a great story-teller. The story is so touching, thank you for telling this, it inspires a lot! Good wishes from Russia:-)
This is sooooooo relatable! Thank you so much for this. This is exactly where I am at in my life at 25.
I actually really needed to hear this. Thanks and I love the story
I love this. I can't wait for your next video.
So glad you finally found your freedom. Straight, gay, we all need that clarity in our life. Congrats!
I watched this and I laughed. But at the end I cried. I don't know why but the last few sentences hit me harder than expected. Love this video
My friend held my hand on a six flags ride( twisted colossus) and my heart sank.... something about that moment just ugggh makes me melt.
dude, I thought I was bi for so long I never knew why every time a guy would try to flirt with me I would feel disgusted or every time my friends were freaking out over male celebrities I would be completely apathetic, I thought I just wasn't into that type of guys, turns out I'm just not into dudes period
“I went from ohshitimgay :( to IM GAAAAYYY :D “
loved that!
Oh my God! Your words just hit me deep down. It's exactly how I feel, except for the last part where you found true love. I'm stuck in the middle :(
This made me so sad and happy! Loved the last part.
How do you know you're bi?
When you enthusiastically do stuff with guys but like looking at girls and feel funny when they touch you or share a room too. ☺️
@CATHY B Does it matter? You don't really have to define yourself, you know
Being bi doesn’t have to mean 50/50 attraction ☺️
Great story, and really well told. 💙
This was amazing. Your personality with describing things was 👏 I really hope to see more content from you and one day see you performing on a big stage.
Nailed it. So real and brilliantly explained. My experience was basically the same. I wish I were out enough to share this with friends and family.
Me right now: "FUUU-"
I always rewatch this video when I’m sad. I love it so much.
Purrrrr....Meow
Aww so glad it can help support :)
Wow; described my situation to T. I’m in my 30’s and just now coming out. Thank you, I don’t feel so alone!
You're not! There's actually a lot more of us out there than you think :) P.S. check out my new video to see!
Lol this made me remember when I started looking up videos titled, "how to know if you're a lesbian". Those days were hell, but I was 15 at the time, and now I'm about to turn 19 in late November and life has never been easier. Sexuality shouldn't be such a terrifying thing, it should be natural, and hopefully someday we get to that point where people fall for who they fall for and don't worry about it. Great video.
4:48 ...... YOOOOOO. STEVIE... THAT stevie.. Purple hair stevie that dated ally hills.. What
Stevie Boebi she was the first person I thought of
Favorite Lobster me too 😄
Yes that stevie
I immediately thought of that Stevie 😂😂
I watch this video everytime I have a meltdown about my sexuality and coming out. Thank u so much for thus
So glad it's been helpful. From someone who has had meltdowns in the past about their own sexuality, I can assure you it gets way better and fucking magical.
Not sure why this was recommended to me but I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm very happy for you. You remind me of a friend of mine who just recently discovered that she's bisexual. I say good for you and don't look back on those wasted years but look forward to your life of freedom and being your true self :)
Honestly this is so relatable and so affirming. I don't know if anyone else in the LGBT community also occasionally doubts their identity, but I do sometimes- and then I find videos like this where I can relate to everything and I remember what lead me to realizing I'm gay.
This is so inspiring at some point. I'm 25 years old never been to a romantic relationship. And not sure if ever will be.
I watch a lot of lesbian comedians, but I don't know why this was so refreshing. Loved it.
I have saved this for years to watch over the years, like why doesn’t this have more views?!?!?
Thanks so much for the views - also making new videos! Check out the new one on my channel :)
That random recorder toot got me sooo bad, I was already laughing but then the abrupt *toot* GOT ME CRYING LOL
