@@HengOngHuatAh no its correct. when you refer to people w/o knowing their gender/pronouns you would say eg. theres a poster about someone who lost *their* dog. *they* must be really worried. its pretty normal but when its conciously used to refer to people whose pronouns are specifically they/them, people tend to think its grammatically wrong and weird just as the other comments say.
@@mairaalisha8443 I would say someone lost his dog. Male pronouns are used by default in the context you raised. They/them is used when referring to a family losing their dog.
Relationship between Claire and Christopher is beautiful. And Claire couldn't ask for a more loving and accepting father. I knew this guy many years ago, he was so tormented because his parents weren't embrace for who he is. He was so despondent, to this day, I hope he's doing ok and alive. Christopher thank you, Claire thank you, for sharing your story. Loving ❤ people as they are is being a decent person .
@@Remomba yo why wld u say that? Ive seen you comment before and hey just because you think that way doesnt mean others do too. If you don’t support it then why watch this video? If its not biblically right or wtv then so be it? Not everyone follows ur religion so dont use tgat as a reason to hate on other people
Grateful for parents like Christopher uncle. My dad would never. He said in my face before "girls are useless" and he only has eyes for his son. No matter how hard I tried, no use. I'm lucky at least I have my mum. I hope in my next life I get to meet parents with hearts as big as Christopher uncle.
"Girl are useless" Told by a clueless man who born from woman womb I hope you can find happiness in life, because there are many kind of happiness to get, out there
Also Boy CAN be useless too Clueless person thinks : What makes me happy? Why my life have to suffer? Was it victory, was it defeat? In the end, they still doesn't know what makes them happy, because their expectation doesn't match reality.
Girls are useless? Your Dad ought to be ashamed of himself. Even Mao Zedong, a dictator and tyrant in the eyes of many, once famously said :"Women hold up half the sky.", which means: male or female, all genders are equal. I hope that you are living a happy life now. 💖
@@LexicroftAlpha You're right, I always question myself "does he not know that he was born out of a woman?" oh, wait, then I remembered that his mum aka my grandmother is also the type that only feel that boys matter and girls don't, the fact that she managed to give birth to 5 sons. I just try and learn it the tough way, and don't wanna become people like them. I'm glad that the younger generation doesn't follow their footsteps in the same thoughts.
@touchdownbattle Yes, I'm kind of tired when I share my story to people and they'll be like "you can try educating them" because you would understand it won't work. They are stubborn and have been stuck with the mindset, so it's fine. I will not force them to believe in what they won't, they should believe it on their own will. As long as the younger generation doesn't walk in the same path, I'm very glad. I've learn to just not engage :D it gives me peace honestly.
i would think most parents who are unacceptable over children being lgbt is because they think this is a disgrace to their family. The way the father defend her when the uncle comment about her boyish hair, is really a good example to tell those close-minded relatives to mind their own business. Just like asking people why don't get married or have kids.
I don't understand why people preach They just need to mind their own bussiness because who enjoy heaven if their "teachings" was right? Themselves Because nobody can prove which teachings was right because nobody came back from heaven and tell this religion or teachings is the right one.
no one chose their disposition, gender or sexual preferences. What is more important is that they live decent, honest lives as best they can and be contributing members to society
Damn I didn't expect to shed a tear or two watching this. It's so nice to see a progressive and accepting father at that kind of age. The world would be a better place if more parents were like him. Happy pride month everyone, be proud!
She could have choose the easier route out by having long hair but despite of all others criticism she choose to be true to herself that act itself is a courage act
I salute this father. He truly honestly loves his daughter his children. Yes, be true to ones gender. More Sporean fathers and parents should be like this man. We should learn from him. God bless him 💕
Kudos to Christopher. He may look strict but he is actually a very very good man and a super dad. He not only tells his children that he loves them, he truly accepts them and protects them. 🤧🤧🤧
shout out to my fellow singaporean closeted queers - the fear is real and it's also okay not to tell your parents if you don't feel safe/ready. but if it helps, you're not alone. we're in this together xx
this was heartwarming to see, especially in a country where lgbtq is not accepted by many, where some get bullied to leave the school. this warms my heart to know we still have a chance
As a singaporean gay muslim i wish that my parents could accept me of who i am. Unfortunately i still am couldn’t come out, still in the closet cause i’m still living in her house afraid to get chased out if i ever come out. I hope someday i could get a affordable rental room and leave that horrible place soon
Your not alone too same but I'm from a Christian family I love my parents but I know they won't accept me for being gay so I keep a low profile and study school hope to do well and moved aboard
It is normal that all parents want to look out for their children happiness and protect them at all cost. Definition of happiness depend on the understanding of each parent.
There was a year that I had my hair cut as short as Claire and people would ask why I cut so short and mom would defend me saying “fashion la”. Love my mom
I agree with your father, be happy, be you. The worst thing in life is always to live according what is expected of you as being "correct".. have a good life claire.🥳
I wish to give a message to Claire. It’s awesome to feel secure and have the best daddy in the world. But be prepare. Daddy don’t be forever with us in the world. When we lost the security we will go upside down in every way. That’s happen to me. So I need to learn how to treasure the moment and accept things once my security is lost.
It must be nice to have parents who are like Christopher. I don't think I can ever come out to my Viet parents/family since I know they will never accept me.
BROOO, im a far-right conservative person but some of these comments need to stop for real. yes, we may not necessarily agree with the stance they are taking but learn how to be a civilized human and respect their decision and choices. As long as they arent putting a knife down and asking you to change there is not much reason to fight back with hostility. yes, we can have a healthy debate/discussion about alternating views but I really don't see a need to hurl insulting words over. Whatever they do, let's just respect them.
I feel like women's body check up is like quite important. But you know, coming from a traditional mindset family, it's hard to like ask about these question. What if I feel wrong but just dk who to ask, how to find out. This has make me feel less confident. so, really hope that yk there's a sharing of where to contact or what can we do
sometimes boys are born to love girls,girls are born to love boys,boys are born to love boys ,girls are born to love girls .is the heart have feeling like that, not bcoz they want to
Live your life the way you feel it's right Claire and so proud of you for staying true to yourself as well as the courage to do so! Christopher is an awesome papa and parents should be like him, serve as a protector, respect his children, and attempt to understand them. Love~

Dad looks strict and a little bit scary. But it turns out, he has a soft heart for his children.
That's why we must know everyone has layers like an onion. He may have the scariest outermost shell, but as you peel that out, it may become soft.
what a rare gem of a father
I lost it when her dad said, " what can i say, I love you so much...that's the reason i accept you as who you are".

Really glad to see a father sticking out for his daughter & accepting who she is/wants to be.

“what can I say? I love you so much” WHO’S CUTTING ONIONS?!?!!?
Love overcomes everything
when he said that i just started bawling... he showed his love through both words and actions, they are both blessed.
Watching this is public was a bad idea😭😭😭

Happy pride month everyone, be proud!
The only thing that stopped me from ugly crying was a stupid Milo ad.
Lol
The assurance that he gave to his daughters are so reassuring 😊
when he said "leave it to me. i will know how to bring this up." omg T_T

Take care man, stay strong!
As someone who's not straight and from a muslim family as well, I know how much that really sucks. Keep moving forward man ✊
Your not alone too same but I'm from a Christian family I love my parents but I know they won't accept me for being gay so I keep a low profile and study school hope to do well and moved aboard
It takes a lot of courage to tell your parents but it takes even more to take a video of it! Good job!
He said, "Daddy's here to protect you." ♥ I replayed it and acted like it was said to me.
I teared alot at the last question segment. Dad has such a beautiful soul and the love for his children is so pure and unconditional. I am so touched.
Accepting parents…..really love and care for their children.
Those that reject……..only care about themselves and what others(society) thinks.
It is normal that all parents want to look out for their children happiness and protect them at all cost. Definition of happiness depend on the understanding of each parent.
Wow...Such a beautiful, strong and unconditional relationship between a father and his daughter. Love this so much!
I wish all dad can learn something from this man ....
Love is accepting, unconditional. Thank you for this video, we DO have families that loves truly.
There was a year that I had my hair cut as short as Claire and people would ask why I cut so short and mom would defend me saying “fashion la”. Love my mom
I agree with your father, be happy, be you. The worst thing in life is always to live according what is expected of you as being "correct".. have a good life claire.🥳
they are my classmate in poly and i think it's really cool that they and their father are so brave to share this with us. i wish them well
Freaking good Father 👍🏻 so lucky to have him as your Dad.
I can understand how this father feels. Such a nice dad.
What a wonderful Dad! The love he has for his child is so much greater than anything else....
Claire is very blessed to have a father who protects her; mine has never done so.
A Father who truly love his child. Kudos !!
Amazing - every lgbt child needs a father like this!!!!
So so blessed to have such a daddy
Thank you Claire and dad for sharing your story. Its full of love :)
may we all embrace each other and understand our differences, being lgbtq is not something you can change, please respect that!
Bravo for this very wonderful, very loving Dad! God loves everyone! God bless Claire & Christopher & all their family! 🙏🙏
Every father should be like this.
my dad will flip table if he knows. you're lucky to have uncle as your dad. rather than living in constant fear of being ousted
That's a great father right there
quick, someone take a leveling meter and put on top of uncle's hair
Be happy with who you want to be,you are very blessed to have a very understanding father!!
He can be accepting because he's exposed to the community and accept it. The second part is really important.
as someone who isn't out to my my fam yet this makes me so happy for them and hopeful that maybe one day my fam will accept me too 💓
I wish to give a message to Claire. It’s awesome to feel secure and have the best daddy in the world. But be prepare. Daddy don’t be forever with us in the world. When we lost the security we will go upside down in every way. That’s happen to me. So I need to learn how to treasure the moment and accept things once my security is lost.
Well done, Christopher, for being a BRILLIANT dad!! XXXX
The most importantly is your family are happy!
Love is More important then everything else.
Christopher is a role model for unconditional love ❤️
Really proud and wise what claire father's do, "although they are my children, they have their responsibility"👍
You been bless to have a lovely , more understanding father. He's so supportive. Take care fam
What an incredible Dad. A model parent.
It must be nice to have parents who are like Christopher. I don't think I can ever come out to my Viet parents/family since I know they will never accept me.
"I'm always a very protective father" 😭
Protect your family to the max, they really precious🥰🥰🥰
