Something I Want You To Know (Coming Out)

- We all deserve our best chance.
Here's a random, but meaningful assortment of things that have given me comfort on my path to acceptance. Think of them as a hug from me to you.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch - A Broadway show and movie about accepting others and yourself. It’s beautiful. Hilarious. Heartbreaking. Wonderful. I’ve seen it five times and it just gets better and better.

What is really important and amazing to me is that Ingrid is somewhat representing a huge issue in the lesbian community, and that is feminine invisibility. Ingrid is a huge influential person that I believe will help shed light on feminine lesbians like myself, and change the social perspective of a "typical lesbian". Being feminine and gay can be really hard and I think its very brave and amazing that Ingrid found the courage to finally express her sexuality! Saying someone doesn't look gay is extremely offensive because there is no one look! Be open to the possibility and reality that a girl can be feminine and gay! Congratulations Ingrid!
Lyndsey Newton Wish I could thumbs-up this to the top. Being feminine and gay (And being into feminine women) is a weird concept to a lot of people for some reason.... I'm a girl, I want to be like a girl, and I like girls, because they're like girls. Shocking I know...!
Lyndsey Newton I think by feminine you simply mean a woman who does makeup and has long hair.
Gay people look gay due to bone structure and how they dress and do their hair. Most lesbians who are scared of "looking" like lesbians such as this girl, have naturally long hair and are too scared to cut it off and some eventually do.
I think she looks like Ellen Page and I think Ellen Page looks like a boy, and she doesn't look very "feminine" because her lips aren't bright pink like this girls, who is wearing a MASK to try to cover her natural traits that probably make her look like a lesbian (such as her larger face and jawline). And she is quite likely doing it FOR THAT REASON.
You must be blind if you can''t spot them or their similarities. NOBODY is surprised that Kirsten Stewart is dating a woman for example. Similarly, nobody would be surprised if or maybe WHEN the guy came out. ALSO, his freaking new girlfriend looks like a full on lesbian! Maybe it's to cover for him...
ranoutofeyeballs What. Bone structure? Gay girls are just girls... Some prefer to be / look boyish, that's fine. Some of us don't. Just because some high-profile examples as you made are easy to "spot" doesn't mean all are. You've probably walked right past or looked at various gay people and never known.
Sounds to me like you have a need to justify something to yourself.... Leave that to yourself, no need to preach to others.
As a gay woman myself, I dress and look like any other average woman. Because that's what I am.
ranoutofeyeballs know what where the hell did you get that information. just because you are lesbian does not mean that you automatically want to look "lesbian" or boyish. there is NO way to look lesbian. lesbian is your sexual identity, it has nothing to do with bone structure or how you do your hair. sure some lesbians do that, but there are lesbians who look girly or feminine like ingrid. educate yourself dude.
Er, if you read my post again I think you'll find that I clearly stated I was NOT a lesbian. I went out of my way to make sure people knew whether I was speaking from that point of view or not.
I also did not say they wanted to. I said of those who do. Generally, please just learn to read. I said that most lesbians HAPPEN TO LOOK boyish from BONE STRUCTURE. It doesn't matter if they want it or not. I am also fully aware of what you call girly lesbians, but sorry, I am not a lesbian and I wear no makeup... what does that make me? Are you saying that I look like a boy because I don't wear makeup?
so, so, so proud of you, Ingrid.
YAS
Tyler Oakley Oeh yesh
We all are...such a beautiful person
I was waiting for you, Tyler :D ♥
And so you should be queen ly💕
This is bi far one of my favourite videos
Sloth lovely pun
Lmao
*no pun intended just a typo*
@@phatboi813 Shhh...let us dream.
Booooo
THIS WAS ONLY 4 YEARS AGO? It feels like forever.
TH-cam was another world back then man
Now it’s 8
Why are people saying being gay is a trend now? It's not a trend, the world is just more accepting for people to come out now. Of course there's going to be an huge outburst of pure true realness.. Like hello people.
#preach ❤️😊
Mikayla Watt this was the best comment I've read. this is so true
Because people have a weird NEED to turn a positive into a negative because they're unhappy with their own miserable lives. So they have to shit one everyone else's parade.
Mikayla Watt Damn, and here I was thinking of coming out but it's too mainstream now. I think I still will, but ironically.
I...Am....GAY!
Thanks for sharing what a complicated and important thing this is and for being honest about your story. This was wonderful.
DFTBA Hank and Ingrid!!😘😘
Nicely said Hank☺️
I Cabrinha DFTBA to you all! :) x
i watched this when i was about 12 years old when this video came out . i was like , SHES SO PRETTY . 4 years later i found out i’m a lesbian . watching this again makes me look back at myself , i love this woman . she is wonderful .
*insert Hayley Hiyoko dancing in a car*
Oh mY GOD

Ingrid, I am SO UNBELIEVABLY PROUD OF YOU! Your courage is something A LOT of people can learn from. You go girl!
***** I agree
I watch ur vids amazing
***** i support her all they way love watching both of your videos
***** omg i luv your ids
***** OMG NIKKIEEE
She was 26 when she filmed this. Coming out at any age can be scary. I’m very proud of her for giving herself her best chance!
why does her age matter?
It doesn’t, just a fun fact!
I’m a straight girl/woman but I am here because I wanna learn and know what these people go through. Love is love no matter what 🌈
makeMeCry방탄 that’s really sweet💗☺️
Army!!!
I'm so proud of you
Thank you. If there were more people like you who listened instead of shouted in the world, we could achieve so much more peace and health as a society...
Go you ✨💖
Awww 😊 yess boo gotta get the homophobes
"I was in a prison built for me by the world and at some point I took over the construction and kept the building going... that was the phase" SO courageous and so beautifully said!! So proud lady!!
I know I don't know you personally but I've watched your videos since the beginning. I've always looked up to you and this doesn't change that. You deserve to be happy and loved for who you are. You are beautiful inside and out. We all support you no matter what. So happy you can now have your "best chance!"
Well said girl! So proud of you, Ingrid! You've inspired and given hope to so many people today. 💜💜
I've been watching your videos for two years now! Your comment warms my heart, thanks for being an amazing person! :)♡
“i’m gay , it feels so good to say that” i’m crying so hard rn 😭🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
100th like....
says a lot.
That always makes me cry. I felt that so hard. The worst is when you can’t even say it. Like you just say you like the same sex but you can’t even say the word “gay” out loud.
Why would you want us to know? Whats the point of telling us?
super jim him wow - ok? i was just leaving a comment you do n’t have to take out your negative energy on someone you don’t even know 😬
Forreal
thank you for reaching out to over 17 million people. for showing them its ok and being there for them even if you dont know it!
Thank you. Not for coming OUT, but for letting us IN 💗
What an amazing way to put it
this is amazing
I love the way you said that I am actually in tears. #sorrygirlyhormoneallissuses
❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is an amazing way of putting it. I loved seeing this comment seeing how the rest are really mean.
Gay or straight Ingrid Nilsen is still amazing.
Love you xxx
Tanya Burr I love her 2 and u as well
I am so proud of ingrid! Xx
I'm so proud 😭
😍
Ingrid, you are just the most amazing person
Ingrid, Troye and Connor coming out were such important moments of mine and many other people's childhoods. as a young and foolish kid (11-12 yrs old) I held prejudices because i simply didn't know better, but their influence seriously was game changing for me and i'll never forget the kind of impact it had on my generation. There are so many other youtubers that had a similar impact that i haven't mentioned but this applies to them too ❤️
My Bff’s ex called me gay and I said
“Sadly you are only partially right”
After that he just walked away
(I’m Bi)
I am so happy and proud of you Ingrid! This is so courageous and very inspiring :)
Me too.
💖
Love you Zoe xx
Zoe! I agree^^^
Zoella Me too Zoe!
Im so happy for you. This video is going to help a lot of people out x
awe alfie 💕
hello alfie
alfie love you
Awww
I love the support! TH-cam is amazing.
I still come back to this video sooo many times. I am in the middle of my own coming out experience right now and you were one of the people who inspired me so much.
Update: I came out a little over a year ago now and it was the best thing I ever did.
2017: I’m bi
2018: I’m pan
2019: IM A FULL ON LESBIANNNN
Samee
SAMEEE
Same, but starting in 2014.
same, in that order
SAF ! dude i- that was literally my transition too lmao
I hope now you'll feel like your true self Ingrid, and enjoy your new chapter of your life! I've been watching your videos for a very long time and didn't see this video ever popping up - so now is your time to be your true self! Be proud of who you are xxx. (And well done for being brave!)
Love you Cherry!
Aww💕
Love you Cherry💜
I agree
So true
All these people calling her out on her saying gay instead of lesbian, Saying she's crying for attention. No, she's crying because she is so happy that she can finally come out. Finally be herself, and not lie to keep people happy. I support her 100%.
ara ara nee-sama. You have a good point💛 you earned a subscriber😜
is this literal or serious? cuzz gay means happy and I'm really confused
Imasu Kirisawa seems like she doesn't give a shit actually and she could just do it without those emotions like "hello i'm gay...whatever"
+DiamondSky Then you're really stupid. I mean WOW
Michael Hilliard holy fuck you're gullible lol 😂😂
im crying sjkssksjs i know this video was uploaded years ago, but im just so thankful i found your channel and watched this video. youre so inspirational and strong, ive only watched one video of you before this one, but i absolutely am proud of you and i love and admire you so much. i hope youre fully living your best life now. 💞
6 years since this uploaded and i still come back to it because it was honestly one of the first moments i could see that being gay is nothing to hide. my own journey with my sexuality has been rocky, so i truly appreciate these scraps of representation that I had to look up to when i was younger. course, there’s a whole lot more now with the community being accepted more!
Heeeey we don't know each other personally, but we're TH-camr's React fam so just stopping by to say you have my love and support!!!
Timothy DeLaGhetto good guy
I'm right with you. I also just noticed that you and Ingrid are Thai.
Preach 😌🙏🏼
You're a great person and I love your vids
Timothy DeLaGhetto TIMOTHY!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!
JoeyGraceffa love you joey
Joey
And I 💕 u and you make my day
love you💓
JoeyGraceffa SOOOO proud to be in a community like this! :D
13:28 she’s right, it’s not fair. It’s not fair to anybody. it’s not fair to her. It’s not fair to a person that she’s in a relationship with. They do deserve a full life. She deserves a full life.
God coming back to this so many years later has me emotional. 2015 was a landmark year for so many of us.
now this is the true definition of a role model
love you x10000
YESS
💯💯😍😍😍👌
Definitely! I love ingrid and she is so brave. So much respect
This is so fake omg I know she's a fashionista but being gay isn't a trend hunny
I'm so proud of you!! Now its time to live your life to the fullest!!
Yass maphie I love your channel and love u ingrid❤❤❤
I love you:) proudd of you! Seriously
Your so right!
Yes so right maphie!!!! 😊
Yeah
I remember watching this 7 years ago and not fully understanding why it affected me so much. But I was so in the cycle of suppression I didn’t even realise I was doing it. Now I’m 25 and out and rewatching this… 🏳️🌈
When I first watched this video I was 14, full of doubt and most of all, terrified. I remember so clearly listening to Ingrid’s words and crying because I found myself in them, I was starting to understand that I couldn’t ignore it forever and I knew the implications it had. This video, although it hurt me at first, has helped me so much on my journey of self-understanding and acceptance. Today, as a 20 years old lesbian, I couldn’t be more proud and happy to be who I am. So this is a thank you, I guess.
You are amazing Ingrid. So proud of you for coming out!
Hi Mel! I love your videos
Mary Kay hey! thank you :)
Hi omg I'm your biggest fan!
You are my favourite TH-camr!! :)
mel2able heyyyy mel!!
You looked so nervous to tell us this and there's no reason to be! The ones who matter most will love you no matter what x
This is why I love you and your videos Hannah your so understanding xx
Loveyou Hannah totally supporting ingrid!!❤️❤️
Wise words! So happy you could get that off your chest Ingrid ❤️❤️❤️ you deserve to be happy ☺️
Hannah Renée Definitely!! I totally agree!! xx
Your so right!
this is the one coming out video (and I’ve watched MANY) that really like touched me and changed me, brought me to tears and had me feeling A WHOLE KINDA WAY. I’ll remember watching this for the first time for the rest of my life
Hearing you talk about pushing women and girls away and not forming close friendships with them for fear of developing feelings is SO RELATABLE as someone who was denying their bisexuality for most of their life. Thinking back to all the girls I had strained relationships with in middle and high school… I absolutely had huge crushes on them that I refused to admit to myself and just avoided and got annoyed at them instead
I hope that one day people won't have to 'come out' if they are gay and we will just accept others for who they are and see this as a normality.
Rebecca Wood well only 1.6% of the population is gay, so people will still kind of assume someone is straight unless they come out. we should be *more accepting* of those who come out as gay, rather than just assuming they're either gay or straight.
***** Well, for one thing: to have grown in a homophobic environment would put homosexuality in a depression. So taking from her experiences(as she HAD grown in one), she'd want of course the acceptance from people close to her, (i.e. her friends, subscribers, etc...).
"We live in a world where [gay people] can hold hands in the streets and nobody will say anything to them." Are you sure? There are still a lot of places(and by places I mean communities) that shame the LGBT+ community; or not necessarily shame, but more like unaccepting of several sexualities(including genders).
***** what the hell is wrong with you show some fucking respect.
Yes!!
TOM10460 Its not a disease its natural but not normal.
OMG Ingrid Congrats!! This is so amazing for you to do this! Welcome to the Family!!❤️🌈
😀😀
Ambers Closet LMFAO! "Welcome to the family" >>>>
Welcome to the Club.. Xx
Omg!!! Amber I love you
OMG AMBER
this was the first coming out video i had ever seen. 11 year old me was very happy for you. 15 year old me is even happier.
She was the break through and leader for so many ppl who needed help
"That's something is... I'm GAY! It feels so good to say that..."
My heart melted
Angelia Cbcb ikr
My eyes began to sweat....i did‘t come out yet...
U must have a small heart if ur heart melted
Angelia Cbcb mine too
Wait till you are cast into the lake of fire Rev 21-8 all of you will melt...
Girl, I'm so proud of you. I'm so sorry you've had to keep it a secret for so long, but now you are free!! :) Also, your true girlfriends will stick by you and love you and support you no matter whether you are straight, bi, or gay. Sexuality is irrelevant. YOU ARE AWESOME.
I totally agree with you
Taryn Southern Well put ... great words Taryn ... for all the guys that were in love with her .... tough luck
Good lord. The comments on TH-cam are rather disturbing. Why do much hate? Anyway, good on you for finding the courage to speak your truth to the world. And good on you Taryn Southern for being a good human.
Taryn Southern YOU'RE BOTH PERFECT!!
Taryn Southern it so strange that many people got some reason to disrespect boys for being gay
but when it comes up to girls its ok....
at 0:36 i felt so happy for her becuase im BISEXAUL and right after she started crying i cryed
chloe rubio * calls themself bisexual but doesn’t even know how to spell bisexual *
i’ve identified as a straight female my whole life. me and my family have always been very accepting of the lgbtq+ community. i’ve grown up liking boys and wanting a boyfriend. i never really thought about liking girls. recently, my older sister brought her friends to our house, we went on a drive together and ever since then i haven’t been able to stop thinking about her. it was weird to me because at first she was the only girl i thought was cute, so i was confused. but after taking time to really figure it out, i realize that i am into girls. even though my family would accept me, i’m very scared to come out as bi. i’m afraid of other loved ones like friends, who will treat me differently. watching these videos help me feel like i’m not alone.
Naomi Taylor thank you sweetheart. i hope you figure your story out ♥️
We kinda have the same story.
I grew up liking girls and wanting a girlfriend and soon I questioned myself why I looked at boys more than girls. I figured out I’m gay and accepted it ever since. I came out to my trusted friends and all were supportive
Just remember that you are not being forced to come out, you can come out anytime you want. Just make sure you feel that you are comfortable, confident and in a safe space. (Perhaps have a friend or sibling who support you near you when you come out (for support))
You are *not* alone
@@imthatextrakid8292 Same here I’m a lesbian and I’m 18 and I was scared to come out too but I’m out and I told my mom and my cousins and my brother they accepted me and I’m happy and I accept myself as a lesbian and I’m out and proud of it
People who want to be gay are just confused and lost people you got born into the Earth as a human you got the chance to grow up and live and you decide to be gay not only are you upsetting the balance of the world but you are also sinning yourself and your children just imagine waking up one day and your mother tells you that she's gay that shit is just seriously traumatizing people need to really just open their eyes I'm not saying I can stop someone from being gay like I have no problem being friends with a gay person but if that's how you want to live then you're just completely messing up your whole entire life permanently, believe it or not
I'm not a subscriber or a fan, I just saw your clip on the #ProudToLove video from TH-cam Spotlight so I just had to check on this video right away. Let me just tell you this, you are a BRAVE woman. It takes a lot of fucking courage to admit who you truly are. I've been there and done that, and it's not easy. Thank you for sharing this, you have inspired a lot of people out there, straight or gay, I respect you for who you are. Thank you, Ingrid.
Me too but I know Ingrid she has a bf
Tin Enerio Ikr I love how she admits she is gay. ..... now other gays will do the same ...... less food consumption because gay people have no children = world better place :D
Tin Enerio Me too, but my sister and I watched a long time ago.
damcs fuck you everyone is allowed to be thereself
damcs wow. u really want to destroy the world from the inside out. Well, you just took one step towards it. It saddens me that you think this way. Go back to your crack den.
Wow! So proud of you and all the lives you will touch with this video.
Also ship it
Arielle Scarcella (Life has been touched) :)
no you're lesbian (unless you like boys then you are just straight
creeper101 d.b how about you shut up she likes girls okay get over it
My name is Crystal, I'm 13 years old and I'm lesbian. I've never said this before and I'm terrified of telling my parents but your video has inspired me to come out.
Hi I am 11 and want to no if we can be friends and I would like you to let me know how you made out with telling your parents.?????
I'm heterosexual but pagan and am scared too come out the "pagan broom closet".
Have you come out yet? If you haven't yet then we can talk. I'll support you
@@davidsmith7474 I haven't yet, my parents are totally against it. And if I come out to them before i turn 18 I'm scared of what there gonna do to me.
@@big_-guy102 I haven't, still terrified to tell them.
This is a video that changed my life I will nvr forget. The first fem I witnessed coming out at time in my life when I really needed it. Coming back and watching this 4 years later we have both come a long long way.
Is it just me that really wanted to give her a hug when she cried at the beginning 💜
No
I wanted to hug her the whole time❤️😂
Sophie Williams I wanted to smack her with ma bible. Gonna scare ya straight.
Lord Flutternoob that's insensitive
No
So I have been getting tweets and messages about a brave girl named Ingrid Nilsen coming out on TH-cam and holy crap I am SO happy I came over to check you out! So honestly I have never watched you before this video, had no idea who you were and I haven't seen any of your prior videos before this one.... but I just want to say how happy I am for you! You are helping so many young kids by doing this; sharing your positivity and bravery with the world and showing that being gay isn't a bad thing! We need more people like you in the world. So again, congrats Ingrid! This is truly amazing and I'm glad I have another sister on my side of the fence ;)
Manny Mua oh and you're freaken beautiful... like damn haha lucky girls!
You guys are both incredible! So much positivity and acceptance you two are spreading. It's crazy to think about, but you guys are directly contributing to our generation being kinder and more acceptive of all people, no matter their differences. We need more of this!
Love is love!!! How could anyone say that to love someone,regardless of their sex,is wrong??!!
Manny Mua Ingrid *Nilsen. Doesn't change your message though, so beautiful
Manny Mua super wild! Just yeterday I hadn't heard about you, but had stumbled upon your instagram somehow. :) now I stumble upon your comment somehow too! Weird how things happen. And yes, Ingrid is amazing!!!
When you come out, it’s not enough to have the courage to do it. Having just one friend who supports you and will be there for you makes all the difference! If one of your parents like your dad is a great ally, it will make all the difference!
When I came out/ told my friend that I had a crush on a girl her first reaction was that she was jealous that I didn’t have a crush on her and that I had a crush on somebody else😂😂😂
Ok thats super funny
I really hate to be the bearer of bad news (read as: not really, bc I could give less of a shit.) but to all the people who are leaving negative messages on Ingrid's video, to those of you who say you're fans of hers, yet still left a homophobic comment. You're not really, and you were never truly a fan of hers to begin with, because a true fan of Ingrid's would support her.
It took her a lot of courage to come out, and I'm really happy for her.
Carsen Darling Just because you're a fan, doesn't mean you have to support everything someone does...Chris Brown had lots of fans but not many people agreed when he beat Rhianna...Chris Brown still has lots of fans.
+itsatwinthing1 Are you seriously going to compare a sociopath beating up his girlfriend with someone who is brave enough the talk About who she really is? Wow.. Pathetic...
Evy Bakker My thoughts exactly xD
Carsen Darling ignore stupid people and don't reply to there comments.
***** Not everyone believes in your God and not everyone wants to follow your religion's bullshit. Welcome to the real world. Not everything revolves around your Christian views.
This made me tear up 😢 I'm so happy you can now live a free life and feel fully present of each moment. Everyone deserves it. It must have been extremely difficult to hold that all in. I really admire your bravery ❤️ Congrats Ingrid.
Ann love you !!!!!!
Youre comment was perfect 😘 and true and wise 😍
I love you Ann! And I completely agree with you. Ingrid is amazing, and she deserves nothing more than to be happy. :D
I love you Ann!! Yes i agree It must been so hard to do this but finally you did it. We are all weird and it's important to love ourselves.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
👍👍
Having videos like this is so important. This is a fantastic coming out video. Everything was so eloquently said and explained. Having videos available like this for people who are struggling with coming to terms with their own sexually helps more than I think some people can imagine. I know when I first started to come to terms with my own sexuality, having videos like this to turn to helped me so much. I don’t watch this channel, I came here cause of Rowan Ellis, but thank you so much for being so open and bearing your soul to everyone. Just, thank you.
Even after all these years I still get goosebumps and tears in my eyes watching you sit down and sigh and say it and tear up, it’s such a powerful moment
GREAT video, Ingrid. Your love and generosity shine through as always. -John
***** Came here from YOU, John!!! I've subscribed to this beautiful human!!!
***** Good for you Ingrid Nilsen. Congrats
it's so good to hear someone say it. makes me feel not alone :)
The same person who once said "I can do whatever I want" says I cannot be in love with a man. I feel bad for her. Being sucked into social conformity and wanting to be a homosexual.
***** Being a homosexual is a mindset promoted by negative culture. If she didn't wan't to be she cans top. This is a fact proven by the nature of male and female genitalia. If you're not a brainwashed homosexual yourself, you know in your heart it's wrong to be one. The only reason you oppose me is because you, much like the gays,want to be accepted by popular culture and society. I don't know of a way you can intelligently respond to me with facts, but give it a try.
so much love!
:D
yeh I'm proud of her :), btw Nat will you be posting a video soon?
Hi natalie!!!!
communitychannel its pornomusic slash comment time (-: hi nat
***** No, gay is often used to describe homosexual women too. Myself and a couple of my gay female friends actually don't want to identify with the word 'lesbian' for various reasons and feel much more comfortable to identify ourselves as gay.
I’m rewatching this now. I remember watching this for the first time and I’m so grateful for you. Thank you ❤️
Oml Ingrid you inspired me to come out to my family! Ik this is an older video but I watched it today and was inspired. Thank you!!!
Oh you know. Sitting and crying my eyes out. Proud of you.
***** you better make a video about this buck!
I'm proud to
Your sexuality doesn't determine who you are, everyone is the same, everyone deserves to be happy. You are still a beautiful, amazing, kind and funny woman that we all know. You are still you, I believe you will be happier after opening up and please ignore any hate comments, you should be proud and happy with who you are. I still love you Ingrid ❤️
Ong hui min Except criminals...
Whitney Titus im one of those people in wheelchairs and I understand where you are coming from but I think the original comment was everyone is the same meaning we are all human and deserve respect and happiness. helping out someone with physical needs isn't in the same category as if you were to respect them and recognize them as being as human and as deserving of happiness as an able bodied person. In that area we should be treated the same way, but yes we as people with mobility challenges do need some different support sometimes, but we are all people with the same base human needs. love, security, acceptance.
Whitney Titus I agree, lots of pc bs is in the disabled community, but I think the problem arises when the deformity or colour or sexual orientation is first, but completely ignoring that huge part of how they interact with the world is wrong too you're totally accurate that it is disrespectful.
I've noticed people get bent out of shape when they're put into categories based solely on that one aspect of who they are. ex. that person is in a wheelchair so they must not be able to drive" or "that person is blind so they won't be able to enjoy a movie" or "that person can't be gay.. she doesn't have short hair or wear men's clothing"
the gripe for most disabled people comes in when people see the wheelchair (or other impairment) and have an automatic assumption of what they can or can't do based on just the fact that they are in a wheelchair. but it shouldn't be ignored altogether either. each person should be seen holistically.. embracing each part of who they are, including disability, or race or whatever. but not let that one thing define them.
Ong hui min Well said. :)
“It feels so good to say that!” I wish I could say that, but not yet I will have to push threw!
This video came out long before I knew who I was. I remember watching with curiosity: “how could she be gay? She’s so pretty... so normal. That’s weird. I’m not like that...” A year after this was posted I had my first real crush. And it was on a girl. It terrified me but it was exhilarating at the same time. Years after I found out she liked me too, for whatever that’s worth. It took me until around a month and a half ago to come out. 3 weeks ago I met a girl at a party and now we’re hanging out almost every day and planning on becoming official soon. This video was really my introduction to the idea that girls could like girls and be normal. My own internalized homophobia had me set on the idea that lesbians were predatory and weird. I’m finally in a place where I’m really happy. I’m done putting on a mask and pretending to be someone I’m not. I’m going into my senior year of highschool and it’s going to be so fire I can just feel it.
I honestly don't see how anyone could dislike this video. It warms my heart to know that Ingrid can finally live the life she's always deserved. This video is going to inspire so many people out there who are still living in the closet about their sexuality. Why is there the need to hate on this video? This is incredible. It takes a lot to post something like this on the Internet for millions of people to see. Please just all support her rather than bring her down ❤️❤️
I love you so much❤️❤️❤️
Selena Lim I was disgusted when I saw how many people disliked this video. And I completely agree with what you said. I am so incredibly proud of Ingrid. :)
True couldn't have said it eney
better
everyone is like "wow i would have never guessed," bruh, do you think all lesbians look like or act the same way, they are just people
***** To this statement I say, take a look at Bruce Jenner. He was living a secret life. There's a ton of people that have had long term relationships. Especially when you look back decades ago. People have lived secret lives due to being discriminated against, fear of being rejected, harmed, etc.
also, youtubers don't put all of themselves on youtube or in the social media sphere, there is a lot that fans wouldn't know, and she says that a lot of her close friends were like 'yeah, i sort of knew'
TOMANDJERRYRAN2GETHE Caitlyn/Bruce likes women though
noooo... practically none of us knew here. not everyone thinks that. so when someone says, " i never wouldve guessed", that means the exact same thing as, "i didnt know". but not all of us just assumed she was straight.
I could never guess but you're not always supposed to :)
this video changed my life permanently back in the day
I watch these videos in hopes that one day I can truly show who I am to the world and not have to hide it any more. (I sorta came out in school like most of my teachers know my real name but I’m still soo scared of the people that are close to me finding out because they would walk away from me it’s scary to be hated by someone you love because of shit you can’t control)
Accept Love. Accept marriage of any consenting adult, to love and live with any other consenting adult. Accept that everyone should have the free choice over their own lives.
Dude Perfect Kids Really? Because I think that anger towards a harmless group of HUMAN BEINGS (yeah they are all HUMANS) is what a real mental disorder is. Just because someone doesn't follow what you consider to be "correct" doesn't mean they are sick. And also, I hate it when ignorant people enforce their petty religious views on someone else to justify a point. NEWS FLASH! NOT EVERYONE IS RELIGIOUS! I know it's a real shocker and it will be hard to get into your thick skull, but believe me, it's 100% true. Love is not just exclusive to a man or a woman; humans all have the ability to love and it is quite the amazing thing. No one should have their ability to love taken away just because a vast minority (yeah the majority of Americans believe that "Gay is OK") says that it is wrong and "GOD says no so I say no and you will burn in hell with all of the other dirty sinners of this world!" Let me break this down for you: Gay is not a sin. Same-sex love is not a sin. Hatred to a harmless person, who lives their everyday lives almost exactly like you, is horrible and you should honestly be ashamed of yourself. Religion is used to bring peace to a group of people and if you are using it to hurt other people, you are exploiting your religion and worshiping wrong.
David Hackett Thank you. Really, thank you. For explaining this to yet another ignorant person who seems to think that being gay, something that isn't a choice, is a sin and that they will burn in hell for it. I couldn't have put it better myself and you have (hopefully) shut down one more of those awful comments that seem to be impossible to put an end to.
Dude Perfect Kids God doesn't exist. I'm sorry if I burst your bubble. OK, I'm not really that sorry.
Kristoffer Stalsberg yes he does
Zarkow I've honestly given up on the gays, really they just earned a one-way ticket down to hell....
I'm gay too. Wait, no I'm human.
We are all human. Lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. It doesn't matter. Live life as its meant to be.
This has to be one of my favourite comments on this video... So many people judge people for coming out online, I myself don't know how you guys feel to have to hold that in.. But in all honesty I think you guys are so strong to be able to handle this I respect you as humans because it shouldn't matter if you're gay or not!
I'm curious... How do you know what is the right way to live life?
Juno Irwin I love your comment, dude.
Jared Steege I'm curious... Who are you to question someone's way of living?
Juno Irwin life is sooo beautiful for all us!! and for the stupid "humans" who criticize others, I think they will never know who it's feels be free, in and outside, a shame!
watching this again and tearing up. happy pride!
It's been four years and I still cry watching this video. And this video also helped me in so many ways. You are so amazing. Thank you so much for everything
This video made me sad, not because you're gay, but because we are still living in a society were people have repress their true selves this much. I congratulate you on coming out and hope you live a wonderful life with a beautiful girl that is everything you want in a partner.
Bless☝️🙌
Roberts Yes!!! and still people dont get why she is crying!
THIS WAS SO SO UNEXPECTED but I'm honestly just so proud of you and thankful for your decision to put such a private thing out there and share it with your viewers! You're so strong! It's all about your videos and your amazing personality, it takes courage to actually let so many people that look up to you know what's going on in your life. Love you! Keep doing your thing ingrid! Can't wait for more videos 💕
I'm literally crying with you so proud LEMME HUG YOU
This is what I wanted to say!❤️❤️
I so agree with this! You're totally right💗
She is an amazing and strong woman!! I am so proud of her too!
You're not alone I'm crying so hard rn
I have watched this video over and over. I am going to go to bed now and tomorrow I will come out.
Thank you for giving me the courage to change my life
4 years later and i still cry at this
Definitely did not expect this
Me either, i mean she did a boyfriend tag .so proud!!!!!!
Hey can you pleas tell me what is going on thanks
Cutie Lover, she is saying that she is attracted to the same gender as her; girls! It's very hard for people to come out because of the rude and nasty things the people around them will say. In many cases, friends and sometimes even family members will separate themselves from that person just because they aren't heterosexual, or attracted to the opposite sex. Ingrid is a very inspirational, beautiful, and strong woman and I'm so very proud of her and everything she's accomplished! I know and hope others realize that she is still the same person, just a bit more relaxed now. Never going to change my view on her❤️
Me neither! I am kinda freaking out!
Natalie Roque I KNOW RIGHT?! ?! ?! I'M SHAKING RIGHT NOW. I'm proud of her of course! But... Connor, Joey... and now sweet Ingrid. I'm happy for her,really happy. I'm just confused. I tought she's gonna joking,but nope. NOPE.
Anyway. I love you Ingrid, I really don't care if you love girls or boys. You're amazing and we love you! Everybody deserve the best.
BTW. sorry for my bad English.
SO HAPPY FOR YOU
I came here because of you ashley, thank you for telling me about this.
right after watching your video i came here!
Ashley Mardell Ashley
+Lewis omg same!
I came here after watching Ashley's channel as well. It's the first time I've seen anything of Ingrid's, but this video made me want to give her a standing ovation and earned her a new subscriber.
2015 was wild... nobody would care now
This is the video I watched when I was coming out to myself three years ago. This video confirmed what I had been battling for so long. Thank you Ingrid.
Aww, why is she crying? It's not a bad thing! She's so sweet.... God loves EVERYONE..
Tears of joy❤️❤️
Yousif Alfuraiji Obvious troll is obvious
alaynagymstar04 Tears Of Fear
Because she fears people wouldn't accept it not because she thinks it's a bad thing and because she has had a hard time in the past when telling people about it . And because she is happy to finally let it out and it must be such a big thing for her
God does love everyone but on Judgement Day all gay people will be judged.... They will try to convince God to forgive them but God will send all of them to hell! Read the Bible people!!!!
When she started crying when she said "it feels so good to say that" i literally wanted to squeeze her and hug her so tight! I wanted to hand her tissues through my screen..
I know... I just wanted to reach through the screen and hug her and tell her its all right.
ashleygames Literall Tears.
ashleygames Me too omg
ashleygames tbh i started crying too bc she looked so happy and relieved
i prefer not to label (at least as of now) because i think love is love and it doesn’t need to be limited to me. been confused for a long time and i always come back to watch this for advice. i love this and ur story ❤️❤️❤️🌈
This just popped up on my TH-cam feed like 5 years later again! I remember watching the when you first posted it. I was in my kitchen making a smoothie bowl.
I NEVER comment on your videos... This may be my first time. But Ingrid, I've been a fan of your videos for all 6 years you've been on youtube. I'm 20 now.. So since I was 14 years old! You were one of the reasons I had started my beauty channel many years ago when I wanted to give it a go (it is a graveyard now but that's irrelevant - haha!)
I just want you to know how incredible it was to see you come out and tell your story in one of the most polite and beautiful ways possible. The respect you will gain from your online friends has just gone through the roof. The acceptance we all have for you shouldn't even have to be vocalized but because the internet can be an ugly place I'm saying it anyway..
Be you - as it is truly the best form of yourself. And as the hate comments begin roll in, remember how much the 3 million subscribers you've built in half a decade just adore you. Including myself!
Much love Ingrid.
I agree girl 🙏💯
Well said!
Well said and so true!
And i subscribed to your channel few weeks ago and i think your channel is great :) I love how you inspire and motivate many people to start to workout and start a healthylifestyle. Thank you for that! We almost have same name by the way haha
Jazmine Garcia whoah! hi there
***** oh hey :D
You go glen co co! No but seriously, such a surprise but so happy for you, must be such a good feeling 👏🏻
Maqi cals Can she do what she want to do ? So if you just comment on something you are fishing for subscribers ?
BRITTNEYLEESAUNDERS I love you!
BRITTNEY! ahh I love you lol and I love when the TH-camrs I like watch each other lol
Hey Brittney!
Everything is going to be okay Ingrid love your videos
Thank you for sharing your way of growth with us. So honest and understandable.
I’m really looking forward to the day I can grow the confidence to come out to my mum and my friends. I’m really excited
How can anyone be dismissing this beautifully raw and honest video as some kind of stunt? This video is so important. Ingrid is so important. And nobody would voluntarily go through this. To see the genuine relief as she says the words she pushed down for years and years and to see how genuinely excited she is to be starting the life she deserves is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. She showed herself so incredibly vulnerable and I can only imagine how many lives she is changing because of it. Thank you for sharing this with us Ingrid.
Truth.
You can clearly see the emotion, and truth in this video.
LienLoo Her tears didn't seem genuine, i couldn't see emotion. Sorreh.
***** Generally, she is a positive female with a platform that she is using for good. For example, her "5 Minutes for Us" videos can serve very much like an older sister guiding her audience and the power of that shouldn't be underestimated. Young females looking up to her suddenly don't feel so alone with their thoughts anymore. But what she has done by sharing this video with us and being so honest and vulnerable in this video does so much more. This might be the video that gives someone struggling with their identity that last hope that they will get to a point where it gets better and that it's worth being excited for and fighting for. It might help someone understand something about themselves and spare them the long years of suppression that Ingrid experienced. There have been plenty coming out videos done by males that received a lot of media attention and buzz but this one is quite rare. Not many other previously closeted /female/ TH-camrs coming out to an audience the size of Ingrid's come to mind. On top of that, she is a beauty guru, obviously with many feminine traits so this also helps fight the stereotype of lesbians only being "butch"/having more male traits, appearances and interests. The comments like "I never would have guessed!" are an example of this view. People often expect gay women to be or dress a certain way and Ingrid is now a clear example of that there are no requirements to be lesbian other than to fancy women. I've only been subscribed to her for maybe a year now so I haven't been here from the start but this is definitely what I have picked up on this past year. :)
***** I appreciate your respectfulness. Comment section conversations are usually not like this ;) It's neither, it's a nickname that doesn't mean anything. But I am female.
You're so brave and thank you for always inspiring us all! The whole time watching this my heart was fluttering and feeling so happy for you. You go girl!!!
It's always so heart touching to see the community encourage each other! ❤️
Yea you go girl! ^^ 👏 (btw ily weylie ❤️)
Honestly, this is so inspiring and amazing. Ingrid, you are so brave to do this. Most people wouldn't be able to do this and most people are only aware that maybe guys being gay is a huge deal when a lot of people could feel the pressure of society. Rock it sister :)
why in 2015 suddenly people want to come out and be gay !!!!!!!!!! COME ON
is it the fashion these days or what ????

deereye7v okay leave but dont be rude
Aw my heart melted as well! I Love when we can feel so comfortable being transparent and just ... OURSELVES! It’s beautiful!
i've seen this 1903754 times but it just showed up on my recommended and i was like i want to watch this again
TH-camrs coming out as gay is not a "trend." I think it's because they see the positive reactions from the community of the ones who are coming out. They realize that it's becoming more accepted and don't want to hide a big part of themselves from their subscribers anymore. So please be happy for Ingrid and don't think that it's for publicity. Spread love not hate because it's very courageous what ingrid did ❤
Yes I know right totally agree with you
Paige Meredith yes exactly! Those videos are just encouraging others, which is usually what people who make those videos want as well. Like many of them (like troye) has said how amazing it is to have their viewers say they were brave enough to come out because of those coming out videos. So it's not a different thing with youtubers.
So true! People are saying that it's for publicity and that it's becoming a trend but this is so false! If a youtuber is gay then obviously they're going to come out and tell their subscribers. I think ingrid is a brave and courageous girl and that everyone should support her and see her the same way as we did before this video. Being gay is a part of her, but that doesn't mean she can be funny and smart and everything else we love her for! X
Am I the only one rewatching this or😅
Nope me too😂
Same
yeye
***** ik i was trying to be funny but i have a strange sense of humor....oml idk what i was thinking
Me for like the 100th time
seeing this video when i was 13 changed my life, thank u ingrid i love u
I remember watching this when it released. I hadn’t realized I was gay yet; I knew I liked girls, but continued to date guys because “at least i’m not miserable!”
7 years later, so much of Ingrid’s story mirrors mine🏳️🌈
Same !
Same! I was so happy for her when she released this.
