Am I the only one on a 'coming out' video binge. I'm not even gay and just find them very empowering. Good luck to everyone struggling with their sexual orientation.
+Malia Velazquez He was probably texting a friend about what was going on. I spent most of the video trying to figure out where the other part of her glasses were lol
I never realized how accepting my parents are of this stuff... My sister (17 now) came out at like 14, and it wasn't even a deal.... Like at all. Just one day we were sitting watching tv and she started talking about how she likes girls, and I was like "yeah I think I do too!". My dad didn't even really pay attention, he never really said anything about it. And my mom was literally like "yeah I think people love who they love" and that was it. Now she tells me that she thinks maybe she's bi. Like what... We never even "came out". It was just, a normal thing... Its like we told them we were straight or something LOL
@@jrreogreugerugregreger7486 Ever considered that this was such an emotionally charged moment for Daniel and that this is how they could cope at the time?
He's not a little kid and should show his mom the same respect he's hoping she will show him. Notice her attention is on him the whole time? Using his phone for comfort does not change how rude it is.
hes parents already knew he was gay. He just thought they didnt. My parent didnt think i was gay cause i would do so many things that a feminine guy wouldnt do
I love how she was annoyed at him not because of his sexuality, but because she was a mother and felt the need to make sure her son had peace of mind. Just like any other mum should.
your Mom is amazing. Whatever has been going on for you for "4 years," you really need to take care of her emotionally. I can hear it in her voice, how she wants you to open up to her.
+David Rocha Well my parents seemed pretty iffy on the subject from the start but I held out hope that it might be ok. So one night while watching TV with my parents, I worked up the courage to tell them. They were instantly shocked by it. Both of them had extremely disappointed looks on their faces and my dad just remained silent. My mom kept asking me to clarify and then wanted to make sure I knew what I was talking about. Then my mom basically started going on a lecture about how I was wrong, just confused, AIDS, and so on. They threw gay stereotypes at me to try to dissuade me and so on. Much like the guy in this video, I pulled out my phone and just kept checking it while my parents kept going on and on. I really wanted to get out of their at that point. I found my phone's license agreement to be the most comforting thing that night to be honest. The more and more my parents went on, the more of me kept dying on the inside. Eventually, I had enough and went to my room to go to sleep. My parents were in there room arguing with each other, trying to place blame. I pretty much cried myself to sleep that night. My parents would barely speak to me for weeks after that. They forbid me from telling anyone else in the family too. It didn't help that I lost most of my friends at the time too when they found out through a separate incident. I was basically forced back in the closet completely and wouldn't come out again to anyone until many years later when I started college. I was in a pretty dark place at the time, and there was pretty much a don't ask don't tell policy in my family. There still is today (6 years later). I have new friends now who are very supportive though. My parents just basically act like it never happened and probably hope it was just a phase or something. I know eventually i'll have to bring it up to my parents again, but I'll wait until I have a boyfriend to do that. Even though it's been over 6 years, I'm not ready to go through that again just yet. I guess I should just be grateful that it could've gone a lot worse. I wish you the best of luck coming out to your parents. My advice to you would be that if your parents seem iffy on the subject, then be prepared for a lot of drama, possibly even a worst case scenario. But even if it doesn't go well, things will eventually get better and you'll surely find more supportive people along the way.
+Generalkidd hi i am a girl and my pearents are kind of in a unusual situation when it comes to this subject and me they are so convinced that i am a lesbian evan my sister who i bearly talk too and the annoying thing is they only started kind of teasing me about it a little while after i got my hair cut short like a boy which is leading me to belive that that is the mane reason! the whole situation is making me evan more confused than i already was about my sexuality i evan started taking lots of quizes online about my sexualitys gosh that is embarrasing anyway i am really wondering who i am? please could you give me any of the amazing advice you gave that other boy
+Edith Owen If you're not sure about you're sexuality yet, then no need to rush to come out or anything. If you can't ever picture yourself with a guy, then you're likely lesbian. You may also be bisexual. It really depends on your feelings. It took me awhile to accept that I was gay, I also did a lot of research online and took some quizzes to get an idea. Eventually I determined there was no doubt I'm gay. It seems like your parents and family would be really accepting of you if you were lesbian or bisexual since they sound so open to the idea of you being a lesbian. But don't feel pressured to come out to them or anything. Wait until you're absolutely sure of your sexuality. Everyone has their own way of figuring out their sexuality. It's not always black and white for a lot of people. Hope that helps!
Generalkidd thank you so much this really helps getting somebody elses opinion and i was thinking about it and i am not sure i could see myself with a guy but as you said i am just going to not rush it and i will see what happens. If it is okay with you i would be so happy if you would not mind me messeging you another time about this sort of stuff and of course if you want to talk about anything i mean anything really it could just be what you ate for lunch then that would be lovely!
Why are you so proud to announce to everyone that you have no idea what anxiety does to people. To be fair, this was 9 years ago so I hope you have learned that by now.
+theshaleco I understand where you are coming from, I scared if telling my parents even though I knew they would be totally supportive, I'm sure they will totally support you, good luck to ya 😉
This made me cry, right away when she gave him a hug. I just watched the "How not to react when your child tells you he's gay" and seeing this mom's reaction warmed my heart. She seems like a very sweet mother, I needed to see some humanity today ♥
I swear that is the sweetest thing I have ever watched! You have such a loving and caring mom who accepts you for who you are. My parents would just put me for adoption. This made me want to cry. It is so sweet!
Well Ive cried... im 14 and ik im gay and I can't come out like ever .. my parents won't accept it .. one time I told my mom I wanted to cut my hair more and she was like no your ganna trun into a tomboy (she thinks that most tomboys are gey )
My son: "Mom I'm gay," Me: "Omg!" My son: "You hate me don't you?" Me: " You being Gay is not you fault," My son: "You don't approve?" Me: " It's mine always wanted a gay son," Don't take it wrong !
Your mum's reaction gave me hope that maybe my own mum will react like this when I come out to her as bi, even althought she is very much against gays and bisexual, because I know she loves me
Lola Winchester Sometimes people maintain positions without critically thinking them through. Hopefully when you come out to her it'll get her to realize the truth. It might not happen overnight, but with time, she can come around. I hope it goes well!
deenman23 seriously it shouldn't be an issue or a hard thing to come out, no offence to anyone religious but I think the cause of hatred toward gays is religion
I'm Christian (I think) and I'm bi (I think) and I'm pretty sire god will exept me because the whole thing about being Christian and god is love. He loves us no matter what and I don't care if it's a sin. Love is love and God cares about everyone. Dosent he?
Michael In is God does love everyone. Sadly there are people today who preach a gospel of hate. Do not believe them. God's love trumps religious dogma every time.
i am 13 and i decided to tell my parents im BI ... it suked .. i should have waited... my mom put me in counseling and my dad doesnt tell me he loves me anymore.. it was the worst mistake ever.. my parents think i'm a whole different person now.. they treat me like im different.. they hate me and i fucked up my life at 13.. ..
Dont say that they hate you. There probably just surprised and I know what you are going threw im scared also to tell my parents my dad is like that person that don't give a crap but my mom is judgemental about bi's which I am
I'm a mom and I thought parents know when there's something going on and I thought I will know, if my child is gay. I was wrong. When my daughter asked, if she could introduce someone to me and send me a picture of a woman, it definitely took me by surprise!
I'd be so happy if my mom and siblings were so open minded like the mom in the video, so they could accept me the way I am and understand that it's NOT a choice. But I fear they will never open their minds to try to understand.. And the biggest problem is that their religion is aways making them hate more and more people like me, and it brings me down everytime I hear them saying it's a disease or evil possesion. If they only knew that I'm gay, they would maybe understand how much it hurts..
Cristoffer Gregori I'm so sorry. I wish I could understand, but the only problem I have is my dad thinking that anyone who's gay under 20 is faking it for attention, but that's nothing compared to you. I'm so sorry.
You've got a wonderful mom! Very often, the fear of telling it is bigger than what ever may come as a reaction. When I came out to my Mom, I asked her to come with me for a walk. We sat down on a bench. Then, I said (it's 20 years ago now, but I still know it like it has been yesterday): "Mom. I need to tell you something. Long Pause. I am gay". She instantly said "Oh, yes. And now?". I answered: "Mom, I think you didn't understand. I am homosexual. A queer. A sissy. A butt fucker ...". She stopped me, saying: "Stop, stop. I've got it". She never had a problem with it. Knowing that made my life a lot easier. *** I love you Mom! ***
It still makes me cry at how accepting your mom is, and it’s so immediate. You are so blessed. I’ve been watching this video for years in through hard moments and I can only hope my parents will someday react half as well as your mom did.
I thought it was amazing how your mom was yelling "it's a choice!!" only it wasn't about you being gay, but about you being stubborn. That made me laugh! Your mom seems very sweet.
Beautiful video! If only more parents, siblings and friends were as open minded and compassionate toward the person revealing themselves for the first time. Awesome and well done!
No it's not fucking normal! You will burn in the bowels of hell! Save yourself and reach out to the light of Jesus Christ our savior! Just kidding. Yeah there's no such thing as "normal". Whoever you're attracted to is the right one for you. Just be yourself and don't ever be ashamed of what you feel.
this is my opinion. the hardest thing about "congmin out" is not that we are being accepted, it's the fact that we have to be strong enough to fight all that we have seen , heard and learned about our love being wrong, it's the casual conversations, the news, the groups we are around and the religion active attacks on being gay. that crack the foundation of being a healthy gay person. you can even hear it in the questioning from the loving mother. "baybe your bi" this conversation should have just been simple. "thank you for sharing with me, I love you and always sill,, now let's go on with life"
@@Whitewitch_25 lol so true ☺ but when you tell someone something you should look at them the whole time. But yeah, it's a big sign that someone is nervous about something
I know this is old but this really really warmed my heart. You are so lucky to have this beautiful soul as a mother. If more parents were like her this world would be such a better place. She is amazing!
The mom is incredible. A true, emotionally open loving mom. I think most have loving moms but they don’t manage to have a loving household all the time. She’s an inspiration. That opening image of your face. All those who have been there could feel your terror. Well done, man.
My little brother (16) told me he was gay a few days ago and I am the only person who he has told. He is upset and scared to tell my mom as she is against gays and will bring him down for it, i really want to help and soport him as he is going throgh a rough time just now. Does anyone have any advice or him/us?.. HELP !!
Chris Feliciano Sophie Harrington I would love to hear an update, I would say you're already loving and supporting him doing what you are doing, you will be an ally when the time comes. Sounds like he shouldn't come out if his folks are not going to be accepting until he can do it from a position of strength. This could affect how his parents will support him through his education or whatever.
It is a touching video, however, and I don't want to be a troll, it's kinda rude to be on your phone when you're having a serious conversation with your mom.
This is so beautiful I love it! She is so accepting of her son and this is a great conversation between them. She nailed it and so did he. This is great
You're actually so blessed to have such an amazing and accepting mother. She's so lovely, thats how all parents should be, accepting of their children no matter what or who they are. Pffft i cant imagine my parents reaction if i tell them about me... ah. xx
My son came out to us when he was 14. We didn't expect it, not really, but it was always in the back of my mind. He knew we loved him and always would, no exceptions. I have only one reason to be sad, one less source of possible grandkids! He has promised to look into adopting. When ignorant fools claim it was something he chose, I ask them why would he choose a lifestyle where he would face prejudice, hatred and possibly death. No one can answer me that one. He's had a couple of committed relationships but nothing serious yet. He's out there waiting to meet my son and I will love him as much as I love my daughter-in-laws!
I'm back here 10 years later again. I'm finally going to come out to my family today and I hope for a reaction as good as this but I don't expect much because of their views. I wish everyone here 10 years later the best of luck coming out! You can do it at anytime whenever you're ready and even if my parents disown me I know that I still have my friends as my family and that's just as important. I love you all - Malakai.
This made me tear up. What a great mom. She instantly hugged and kissed him. Without hesitation. More parents should take cues from this. I Love your mum!
frdman yeah that's like what I've said, just a little more accurate. I think it's very good that you can get married in some states and I hope that soon gay marriage is legal in all states and in my country (germany) too... it's horrible that in some countries you can even get sentenced to death just for how you feel, this makes me sick
Because it is assumed that you're straight, and you very likely have had countless, innumerable times when you and others have talked about people you wanted to date, talked of marrying, or just people you thought were attractive, and being quite clear in the pronouns you used. Every time you did this, you announced or confirmed your interest in one gender or the other (unless you're bi) so your sexual orientation was out there in the open. It is just such an everyday thing that straight people don't realize they don't need to make a clear, unequivocal statement.
Nonono sweetheart... It doesn't matter how man enough you are! If your parents don't accept you, they're wrong, not you. Things will get a lot better if you tell them tho trust me ;D
At some point I was hoping your mom is going to grab your damn phone away from you and engage in the conversation. Thanks for sharing your story and I'm glad your mom was really cool with it.
+Arianna Canita There is no bi. Its either lesbian or straight. If there is bi, who in this world would want to be a lesbian if they can also be straight?
I'm not gay, but I think if someone is gay it should be ok. I don't think they should have to walk outside and be afraid of getting beat up in public or by someone they tell. You cannot choose who you love. Good job man I gave a sub and like.
Just want to say this was the video that inspired me to come out my senior year of high school. I came out the day after I saw this video! No regrets! Life has been amazing ever since! This video will always be apart of my life! Thank you Daniel for your courage! 💛
I'm straight but my mom came out about 4 years ago and,my grandma slapped her and won't see any of us you are truly blessed man your mom seems like she in it till the end congrats
Am I the only one on a 'coming out' video binge. I'm not even gay and just find them very empowering. Good luck to everyone struggling with their sexual orientation.
Nope ur not the only one here
oh my god right?? im not gay and i love all of these videos and they all make me cry they're so sweet!!! :)
Lol same
haha same here!
Totally the same. I'm straight, but I totally support gay/bi/trans people
Guys don't judge him for being on his phone. He was probably very nervous, I know because I do that all the time.
+Malia Velazquez He was probably texting a friend about what was going on. I spent most of the video trying to figure out where the other part of her glasses were lol
Look it the description he explains why he was on his phone
I'm the same, in awkward situations I just whip my phone out and stare at the screen like "Shit shit shit shit"
Oh, it's totally because he was nervous.
ME TOO!!
Your mom's reaction almost made me cry. I wish everyone's parents were like this.
And his complete disregard for her reaction almost made me puke.
Destanee Moore my parents.were not as supportive

i was thinking the same thing :)

"i'm gay"

"SURPRISE"

Ya mee too hmm
I love the way that you was like
'I'm gay..........surprise'
Your mom needs to make TH-cam videos telling other moms how to be good, loving, and open minded moms like her!
Her reaction is how all parents should act when they learn this stuff, instead hating them or kicking them out
I love how she was annoyed at him not because of his sexuality, but because she was a mother and felt the need to make sure her son had peace of mind. Just like any other mum should.
Good job mom...love your child no matter what...
Yeah, she is just... amazing. Love your mum, Daniel! ;)
Your mum is the the sweetest thing I've ever seen. I'm so happy it went well. (*^o^*)
I know she the sweetest lady ever
His mom was so cute. I teared up when she hugged him after he came out.
his Mom is exactly what anyone could ever ask for !! she's amazing :)
your Mom is amazing. Whatever has been going on for you for "4 years," you really need to take care of her emotionally. I can hear it in her voice, how she wants you to open up to her.
I really wish my coming out experience went as well as this. It was a total disaster with my parents.
+Generalkidd I'm sorry to hear that. Is it ok if I ask what happened? I'm planning on coming out to my parents :s

Why are you so proud to announce to everyone that you have no idea what anxiety does to people.
To be fair, this was 9 years ago so I hope you have learned that by now.

I am afraid to come out to my parents
I am too
Shut the fuck up Carlos

She instantly said "Oh, yes. And now?".
I answered: "Mom, I think you didn't understand. I am homosexual. A queer. A sissy. A butt fucker ...".
She stopped me, saying: "Stop, stop. I've got it".
She never had a problem with it. Knowing that made my life a lot easier.
*** I love you Mom! ***
This made me cry. I love how accepting she was and i'd be the same way as a mother. Wonderful video. :)
Aww his mom is adorable lol
It still makes me cry at how accepting your mom is, and it’s so immediate. You are so blessed. I’ve been watching this video for years in through hard moments and I can only hope my parents will someday react half as well as your mom did.
She reminds me of Tyler Oakley's mom
Omfg YEEESSSS
QUEEN JACKIE
They should colab
+Ewan Oxborrow ITS THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND I SCREAMED AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS
I thought it was amazing how your mom was yelling "it's a choice!!" only it wasn't about you being gay, but about you being stubborn. That made me laugh! Your mom seems very sweet.
I was thinking the same thing. That made me so happy
Beautiful video! If only more parents, siblings and friends were as open minded and compassionate toward the person revealing themselves for the first time. Awesome and well done!
“I am a great mom!” Absolutely. She seems amazing!
Hats off to his mom.
Im a girl, i find guys attractive, but i find girls even more attractive... is this normal?
You're awesome. Thanks:)
Yes, it is normal. You might be gay or bisexual. Still, it's normal.
its normal! im bisexual and like girls way more than guys its not anything bad or to be ashamed of
No it's not fucking normal! You will burn in the bowels of hell! Save yourself and reach out to the light of Jesus Christ our savior! Just kidding. Yeah there's no such thing as "normal". Whoever you're attracted to is the right one for you. Just be yourself and don't ever be ashamed of what you feel.
doxide I was about be like "Oh hell nah" then I continued reading and I was like XD
this is my opinion. the hardest thing about "congmin out" is not that we are being accepted, it's the fact that we have to be strong enough to fight all that we have seen , heard and learned about our love being wrong, it's the casual conversations, the news, the groups we are around and the religion active attacks on being gay. that crack the foundation of being a healthy gay person. you can even hear it in the questioning from the loving mother. "baybe your bi" this conversation should have just been simple. "thank you for sharing with me, I love you and always sill,, now let's go on with life"
Your mom is amazing! Btw...get off your phone! Lol
Bill Bennett some people go on their phone when they are nervous.
@@Whitewitch_25 lol so true ☺ but when you tell someone something you should look at them the whole time. But yeah, it's a big sign that someone is nervous about something
Yeh but u could see how nervous he was so I dont blame him because I always do that when I'm nervous
I hope my mom is like this...
She wasn't she said i was to young to know who I am
same with my mom bit now she account accepts me and supports me goodluck i support everbody = rights
1:32 the blue thing scared me 😂😂😂
N.I.P me too
N.I.P LOL
N.I.P lol
Nick omg samee😂😂😂
ikr it appears suddenly
I know this is old but this really really warmed my heart. You are so lucky to have this beautiful soul as a mother. If more parents were like her this world would be such a better place. She is amazing!
PLEASE some one give a medal to his mom
I love her statement!
your mom is amazing :)
The mom is incredible. A true, emotionally open loving mom. I think most have loving moms but they don’t manage to have a loving household all the time. She’s an inspiration. That opening image of your face. All those who have been there could feel your terror. Well done, man.
My little brother (16) told me he was gay a few days ago and I am the only person who he has told. He is upset and scared to tell my mom as she is against gays and will bring him down for it, i really want to help and soport him as he is going throgh a rough time just now. Does anyone have any advice or him/us?.. HELP !!
Tell your mom this is the FUCKING 21st century
Chris Feliciano Sophie Harrington I would love to hear an update, I would say you're already loving and supporting him doing what you are doing, you will be an ally when the time comes. Sounds like he shouldn't come out if his folks are not going to be accepting until he can do it from a position of strength. This could affect how his parents will support him through his education or whatever.
*****
I'm so sorry :( that must be terrible... Idk how my folks will react... They are so conservative...
Have him live his life in secrecy, grow up straight and marry a good ole' lass and make some babies!!!
Tell me that was sarcasm... p00ner1sm
It is a touching video, however, and I don't want to be a troll, it's kinda rude to be on your phone when you're having a serious conversation with your mom.
my thoughts exactly
***** True haha.
He was nervous. Sometimes you need something to kind of distract yourself ig you are feeling too nervous.
Fluffy Lily
if*
He puts In the description that it's his blanket of comfort.lol
Omg your mom is an angel and so understanding .
This is so beautiful I love it! She is so accepting of her son and this is a great conversation between them. She nailed it and so did he. This is great
Your mom rocks
You're actually so blessed to have such an amazing and accepting mother. She's so lovely, thats how all parents should be, accepting of their children no matter what or who they are. Pffft i cant imagine my parents reaction if i tell them about me... ah.
xx
how can i tell my mom im straight? she wont believe me?
Haha
Tell her that it's a real thing. Act serious and make sure that she doesn't not trust you
Lillee Skinner Is she a lesbian? just asking
Lillee Skinner That's sinful. If your mother is a a true woman of God, she'd kick you out of the house. Filthy breeder.
inasexymood Oh shut the hell up. Every sexuality is amazing.
My son came out to us when he was 14. We didn't expect it, not really, but it was always in the back of my mind. He knew we loved him and always would, no exceptions. I have only one reason to be sad, one less source of possible grandkids! He has promised to look into adopting.
When ignorant fools claim it was something he chose, I ask them why would he choose a lifestyle where he would face prejudice, hatred and possibly death. No one can answer me that one. He's had a couple of committed relationships but nothing serious yet. He's out there waiting to meet my son and I will love him as much as I love my daughter-in-laws!
was anyone else confused when the lunch box appeared randomly
Dan had to edit out a part of the video where his mom mentioned the name of their hometown. (Dan edited it out to protect her privacy.)
I'm back here 10 years later again. I'm finally going to come out to my family today and I hope for a reaction as good as this but I don't expect much because of their views. I wish everyone here 10 years later the best of luck coming out! You can do it at anytime whenever you're ready and even if my parents disown me I know that I still have my friends as my family and that's just as important. I love you all - Malakai.
Update?
SHE IS AN AMAZING MOTHER ! SHE IS AMAZING
This made me tear up. What a great mom. She instantly hugged and kissed him. Without hesitation. More parents should take cues from this. I Love your mum!
You're very lucky....what a lovely lady.
Your mom is lovely :)
3 years later. Bawling my eyes out.
God, how amazingly wonderful to have a parent who says "My concern is that there's prejudice in the world."
"I'm gay"
"surprise"
I wish I could come out but being gay is illegal in my country !
It's not illegal to be gay in the United States
frdman yeah that's like what I've said, just a little more accurate. I think it's very good that you can get married in some states and I hope that soon gay marriage is legal in all states and in my country (germany) too... it's horrible that in some countries you can even get sentenced to death just for how you feel, this makes me sick
Same here
Spooneads a country in the middle east
***** the country is ruled by islam
What a great mum!
Just watched this video and it's hard not to get emotional to see what an AMAZING MOTHER u have. SHE IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!
"I don't announce I'm heterosexual" Awwwww your mom is sooooo cute!!!!
Because it is assumed that you're straight, and you very likely have had countless, innumerable times when you and others have talked about people you wanted to date, talked of marrying, or just people you thought were attractive, and being quite clear in the pronouns you used. Every time you did this, you announced or confirmed your interest in one gender or the other (unless you're bi) so your sexual orientation was out there in the open. It is just such an everyday thing that straight people don't realize they don't need to make a clear, unequivocal statement.
Your mom is amazing. My parents have NOT accepted it.
The your parents are too weak for the gay
compwhiz2000 did they kick you out or something?
I wish I was man enough to tell my mom I am GAY.
you're gay... you're not a mna
+Adam Piwetz Oh and wtf is a mna
Nonono sweetheart... It doesn't matter how man enough you are! If your parents don't accept you, they're wrong, not you. Things will get a lot better if you tell them tho trust me ;D
_Nerdy_ Girl :)
+Maw Says the one who has to use stfu to type Shut the fuck up #Totalmoron
This is beautiful and is a wonderful example of how parents should always react when their children come out. I'm happy for you :)
Awe your mum was soo supportive! I'm not gay myself, but I wish all parents of gay or bi children were like this!
Your Mom is hilarious! "I am a great Mom!"
At some point I was hoping your mom is going to grab your damn phone away from you and engage in the conversation. Thanks for sharing your story and I'm glad your mom was really cool with it.
Scott H That phone though right?
Scott H that phone annoyed me so much!
He was nervous. You can tell by what he's doing he's not actually texting. he's just rapidly scrolling. Give the kid a break.
Look at the description.
I think Dr. Seuss said it best . . . "Be who you are and say what you will because those who mind don't matter and those who matter, don't mind!"
she probably already knew...
Im bi I'm still deciding if I'm a lesbian or just bi
Good luck on figuring yourself out :3
Arianna Canita If you have to decide you are probably bi.
then33k4 huh.. i don't know a single lesbian whos into cocks. :D not even toys^^.
+Arianna Canita There is no bi. Its either lesbian or straight. If there is bi, who in this world would want to be a lesbian if they can also be straight?
+Lady Gaga It's funny because lady gaga is bisexual😂💪🏼
lol she must have known it
I’m so proud of them both. His courage and her total acceptance. They will weather it and be stronger as they prepare their son for the world
His mom is so nice and understanding but he pays her very little attention... Smh
he is listening, he is on his phone for comfort
I think he's just SUPER nervous and he did it for comfort.
oh gosh she is talking to you and you are on your phone!
Cata rodri HE IS NERVES!!
He still listening, and he nerves of course..
Cata rodri It's just him being extremely nervous.
He's checking Grindr
yeah he's clearly nervous and just needs something to look at in the heat of the moment
I'm not gay, but I think if someone is gay it should be ok. I don't think they should have to walk outside and be afraid of getting beat up in public or by someone they tell. You cannot choose who you love. Good job man I gave a sub and like.
I do really apreacite you sir......
Adam, you are an amazing Ally
Just want to say this was the video that inspired me to come out my senior year of high school. I came out the day after I saw this video! No regrets! Life has been amazing ever since! This video will always be apart of my life! Thank you Daniel for your courage! 💛
This made me smile
Bruh his mom was like
Ok I'm chill I'm proud of you
My mom would be like
GET THE THE HELL OUT MY HOUSE
The little Nugget named Katie me too 😭
What a great mother :)
