i love how tati said that she did her own research and watched videos to learn about herself. now, people who are still finding themselves have tati’s video to look at 🥺
This is exactly why there needs to be more lgbt+ representation in the media. Because a lot of us grew up feeling like being lesbian, gay, etc was wrong because all we grew up seeing was straight couples. That’s why I’m glad there is channels like urs Tati! So younger people can see there is nothing wrong with loving who you want to love and being who you want to be ❤️
I never really had a "coming out" story. Growing up in a Christian household i was taught that it was wrong to like the same gender. It was a sin. In high school i secretly had a girlfriend. When my parents found out she was more than just a "friend" they ran her off. Because i was taught all my life being with girls is bad. I ended up dating a boy... i got pregnant. Our relationship didn't work out. Now i have a 5 year old & a girlfriend that I've been with for 3 years!! My older sister always tells me "i always knew" and she is so much more accepting of me than my parents are. Now that i am an adult, 25 years old. I do what makes ME happy. I no longer live for them. I don't care to be accepted by them as much as i hoped for when I was younger. Even though it sucks & i wish i had their support %100 sometimes you have to just do what makes YOU happy. It is very disappointing & yes I do feel your pain on how it really hurts my heart that some parents cannot be accepting of it. My parents til this day call my girlfriend "my friend". They havnt been accepting of it. It's sucks
My dad still calls my girlfriend, my friend, and yes i wish he wouldn’t but i know he’s at least trying by still talking to her and talking with all of us. Thank you for sharing. I know it’s so hard but I’m so proud of you
Hopefully things will get better but yes that’s one of the reasons why I never actually join a Christian church because 99.9 percent of the time they are gonna say being gay is a sin.
I went to thinking I was a lesbian to bisexual to lesbian again to finally finding myself last year. I came out as pansexual 😊 but my parents still think it’s a phase 🤦🏽♀️
It's crazy how similar stories can be, my story is literally exactly the same except im still being patient. Still no love for me by my fam. But Iv moved out of the toxic situation, made my own home and my own little family that accepts and loves me for who I am. Not every blood relative is gonna come around and sometimes you just have to respect that and move on. Your not missing out on anything, they are. You have to realize that your perfect the way you are and if they CAN'T see that, that is OKAY! BE YOU! AND LOVE WHO YOU ARE
This brought me to tears..I remember just a year ago my mom kicked me out, I was forced to drop out of college to then be homeless, living with my gf and her family to be homeless again. being disowned by my entire family and my mom. I still struggle today but I am grateful my gf family loves me and idk where I would be without them. me and my gf are now good and omg...I totally get where you are coming from.
Omg Tati the fact that you didn’t cry shows how much emotions you suppressed I’m sorry but I’m glad your mom and everyone in you life came through at the finale you deserve the happiness you receive 😌 ps we love your girlfriend too 🥰
I came out in 2017 in my sophomore year of high school and have regretted it ever since. Until my life turns around I'll always feel this way. Shout-out to Vanessa Morgan from My Babysitter's a Vampire for awakening my gayness. Your mom reminds me of my aunt.. except my aunt is lesbian. Sigh
I’m 25 years old and barely came out 2 years ago. Having to hide your true self from your family and friends is horrible. I can relate to your story so much and thank you for sharing and I’m so glad i got to meet you that one time in the Starbucks drive thru in Tulare !❤️❤️❤️
this made me cry because i feel like my parents will never accept me, even over time, if they were to ever find out. but im glad that some people out there are able to over come this and finally be happy. so maybe i’ll have hope. Thank you for sharing this Tati it really helped.
i knew tati was such a great person since i first found out about her from the lex & tati channel. so much pain has brought her so much growth. i love her & i wish she was my best friend!
@TatianaMendoza , you are an amazing person and you will do so much in your life. Your video will help so many girls that have the same feelings as you. I am a out and proud gay man from the south (USA) and I support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community. LOVE IS LOVE no matter you sexuality or age or gender (or no gender). 💖💖💖
this is literally me. i'm mexican, my parents and brother are really religious (catholic) and every since 2019 i realized i'm gay (also first came out as bi but now realized i'm gay lol). every since 2019 i've heard so many homophobic and awful comments come out from my parents and brother, and it's just really hard to accept myself and slowly heal so i can become who i want to be when i'm in a constant toxic environment. thank u sm for your story tati 💚
i got into my first relationship & came out in the same year that you & lex had your channel, watching you guys every day was so important to me. it gave me so much hope & during a time when i felt extremely vulnerable & self concern with my parents, watching two young latina girls in a relationship just like me & my girlfriend reinforced to me that it was okay & our love was just as real & natural as any other relationship. i related to you guys so much & im so thankful i had you guys to look up to at that time. i'm very proud of how far you have come since then
Thank you for sharing your story. My daughter came out to me a couple of months ago. I initiated the conversation because I had a feeling. A mother knows and she felt so comfortable telling me. I love her no matter what, she will always be my princess. 💕
In my experience it’s been rare when an adult acknowledges when they’ve been wrong. So it was a breath of fresh air to see your mom speak and reflect and that gives me hope for the future. Many blessings to you and your family.
I love the ending when tati’s mom came out to speak on her behalf . It shows the growth of her acceptance to her daughters choices in life and makes me so happy that she gained her bestfriend . It’s been 5 years with my mom and she still gets mad . I know everyone says to be patient , and I am , but I hope my mother can come to this level . She’s my bestfriend also and I feel like I’m hiding again just because she doesn’t want to accept the reality of her daughter being gay after everything we have gone through in the past . But this was one of the best coming out videos Tati . Been watching you since day 1 and I’m so proud of your journey .Hopefully in the future I can make a video and have my mom pop up to 🤍
We love you tati and I am so incredibly happy that you overcame such hard obstacles in your life. As a first gen Mexican American lesbian (wow first time I’ve said that) I want to say thank you. Im not out to my parents (21 yrs old) but I hope that one day they’ll come around just like your mom did. Much love 🥰🏳️🌈
Idk if you will ever see this but words could never express how much you were a part of my journey. I would watch and rewatch your videos every day after school. you guys gave me hope and were my escape. watching you in a queer relationship was the first time I ever felt that I could be "okay". the first time I felt I could be happy and accepted. I felt so safe watching you guys. You have impacted hundreds of thousands of people and will forever hold a special place in my heart. You've contributed GREATLY to the journey of queer kids EVERYWHERE.
I cried so much throughout this whole video because I heavily heavily related to Tati’s story and when my parents found out I was gay they freaked out and started yelling and crying and it scared me so I denied everything until it went away. Till this day my parents make jokes about it and say that if it was true they would never accept me and that they would try to get me help. It hurt so much feeling like I would never receive any form of support or love from them. And I am still waiting for them to possible open their eyes and support me but seeing all these people relate and support the lgbtq+ community has helped me beyond explanation. Thank you so much for sharing your story❤️
Your mom’s video made me cry! We grew up in super similar homes. My mom & I went from besties to completely falling apart when I came out bc of her religious beliefs. But now it’s been almost 2 years since then & we’re closer than ever. She even loves my gf as her own. Like Tati & her mom said, be patient. Progress CAN be made if you just give it time. 🤍
Tati I’m so proud of you!! 🥺 I’ve been watching you since you started growing big on social media and you’ve been flourishing so beautifully since. Seeing your growth is so inspiring.
I started to tear up and I’ll be patiently waiting until I come out even though it is scary to get two parents approval and taking time for them to understand me
Been keeping up with you from the start and YOUVE BEEN GLOWING EVER SINCE. Happy for you always and can’t wait to see what else you got poppin’ out for us 🤞🏼
True perseverance, determination and love for yourself. Coming out and accepting ourselves is a hard experience to go through. Especially being true to oneself when we hear negative comments. The fear of disappointing our family and the fear of losing them is beyond painful. Being ourself is the true definition of love. For anyone going through this, we are all here for you. One day your parents will see the love you have for yourself and for living your best life. Have faith and patience, time will tell.
My coming out story is very similar to yours! I grew up in a Latino,Catholic family. My mom had a hard time with it while my dad was hesitant about it. Took my dad two years to say that he accepted me and that he was gonna help my mom understand it. My mom has been taking steps in the right direction and I’m so thankful that you shared your story. A lot of coming out stories are positive but no one really talks about the hardships. I know my 15 year old self could’ve really benefited from this video so thank you for sharing!❤️❤️❤️
Your life relates almost to the T with mine🥺.. I’m 20 my dad found out about me at 16 I’ve been struggling since 14, just Sunday my dad said he dosent want me in the house since I don’t follow the same religion… struggling to even just find a place right now . Ik things will get better and my gf and friends are all so supportive but family is the issue .. they chose church over everything.
Patience, time, communication, and understanding really are key words in living through something like this. Proud of you and all of us who didn’t and haven’t given up. It is an on going journey everyday that will only make us authentic to who we truly are and realize the strength that lives within us.🤍 Thank you for sharing your story Tati.🤍
Crazy how similar my story is. My mom is accepting of my fiancé and I now. All my family is so accepting and I’m so happy with my life. So happy for you Tati🥺
You were one of the people I looked up to when I was questioning. I went from thinking I was fucked up, to learning about lgbtq, to taking “tests” and watching videos, to coming out as bi as a defense mechanism kinda, to being lesbian
the way i know how hard this was because she’s been wanting to talk abt it ever since she started youtube 🥲🥲 i love u for this. been supporting since day 1
When I came out I was so scared to tell my dad because I didn’t know how he would take it but he was so sweet and said he’d always support me. My girlfriend at the time (fiancé now after 5 years🥰) had a hard time with her mom at first too. Your story is super similar to ours with Hispanic family and religion playing a huge role on people’s mindsets. Thankfully we got through it and I can truly say I’m with the love of my life and I’m forever grateful to live in a time and society that I’m accepted!🥺💓
I just had to comment-I’ve watched you grow since your channel with alexis and i kept following because your heart seems so genuine and pure. im a lot older than you and i’m straight but i also come from a very strict, catholic, latino household so i could only imagine what you had to overcome. so i just wanna say i’m SOOO proud of you for overcoming something so hard and i respect you so much. keep being you tati and never change, you inspire so many people in so many ways 💕
Proud of you Tati!! I recently came out to my aunt, sister and friends they have been supportive however I'm not sure how to come out to my mom just yet! Very inspiring💓
hopefully one day i can be in the position you are now with your family being able to accept you.. it’s such a struggle being able to come out, such a terrifying thing to do. i have such a good relationship with my mom and i wouldn’t want to ruin it because of me. i’m so proud of you, tati!
seeing this makes me so happy, having seen you grown from the beginning to who you are now makes me so proud. i’m so proud of you tati. thank you for inspiring me to be me. i love you.
I’m honestly glad I ran into your channel, you are very inspiring and amazing for putting your story out there. there’s not a lot of youtubers who put their stories on social media. I haven’t came out to my parents I’m bi, and it’s pretty scary. your very amazing thank you for your story Tati, love Youu 🥺 !!
yeah I just came out to my Hispanic household like a week ago and its been hell. This video truly gives me hope for the future. I just wish it didn’t have to be like this.
So happy for you Tati! ♥️ it takes courage to stand up for you are 🥰 my dad is a baptist pastor and Mexican 💀 I don’t know how he’ll react but if he truly loves me he’ll accept me!
as a transman i can say that what worked the best was giving space (obviously if that is an option) when i came out as trans my mom didn’t want to accept it and it made living with her horrible for my mental and emotional health so i decided to move out and that space really gave her time to think it was worth loosing her child forever or simply gaining a son. 🙏🏽
Some ppl smh.. ya it’s a new world when you wake up one day & realize your parent(s) thoughts & feelings on ‘stuff’. I wonder if we hurt more than them. But, it is what it is. I just wish you so much love!!! And happy you & your Mom are ok 🌹♥️
I really related to this. Thank you! I took a while to come out.. possibly till 24-25 when I would get constant panic attacks because I no longer could keep this secret and dating guys for my families happiness was making me depressed.. I’m 27 finally pretty out to most people I come by, and the first girl I dated is the longest relationship I’ve been in 😅 very happy now! My sisters and close friends are so supportive but my mom will not even bring up the subject or wants to know anything about my gf.. so that kinda hurts since I’ve always been the one closest to her. Hopefully she becomes accepting.
I’m straight but hearing your story really makes me happy. I hate it’s like this for the community. The part that gets me teary eyed is the uncle saying “she obviously doesn’t need you but she wants you” and it just hit a nerve of me and my moms relationship even tho I’m straight that we argue so much and it’s not worth the evil for anyone straight or not. We all want our family by our side supporting us.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It means a lot because I too did a lot of research about coming out as bisexual … June 2021(pride month) I took the first step to coming out. I came out to one of my closest friend and some friends that I trust. Well the first person that knew was my younger sister. What helped a lot was when I came out to one of my closets friend and how she responded which meant a lot even though she may not know it. It meant a lot because I knew that she was a really religious( or someone who loved her religion) Christian and if she could still be by me then I hope my parents can too.
So proud of you Tatiana. I have been following you for a long time and although I do not know you personally, I am so happy to see your growth through social media. I know many times on the internet we only post what we want people to see/or think of us in a certain way. But I feel like you’re a very transparent person and for that I admire you. I am so happy that you accept yourself for who you are and that the love you have for yourself makes others want to love you for that same reason. I do have to say that your story is so inspiring and I hope everyone in the LGBTQ+ community is able to see this. As a latina coming from a hispanic household, I understand that many times religion plays a big role in how other might judge someone. A huge shoutout to you because I know that wasn’t easy. In this world you’re here to break all those stereotypes and views. May God bless you Tati, so proud of you and can’t wait for you to continue feeling that joy in your heart!
I’m so proud of you, Tati❤️. I also had a really difficult time coming out to my family but things are a lot better now. I’m so hopeful for everyone out there trying to find ways to come out and express themselves because they can look at your video for inspiration. I wish I had someone like you to look up to when I was younger
Yeah i came out as BISEXUAL too but my parents they didn't exepted me because Hispanic and yesss Mexican so my mom didn't excepted me for who i am but its okay i got over it some people might take it a different way but i LOVE MYSELF AND FOR WHO I AM i don't care what anyone else's opioins about me its my opion TATI THANK YOU SO MUCH for this and thank you for sharing this YOUR AMAZING AND WONDERFUL💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Yo why tf I'm tearing up like🙄... anyway I just wanna thank you honestly cuz ur like the 1st lesbian Latina creator that I ever followed (yk, I came from ur 1st yt channel) and have continued to watch. Before I couldn't really get into or relate too at the time just like u and all I wanted was someone who understand me and gets it coming from a Catholic Latino/Hispanic family. For most of the video when u talked abt ur early experiences I was like "yup me too" especially the kindergarten part bish me too. So everytime u upload a new video it anyways makes me feel so happy and proud to support a fellow lesbian Latina who I've watched (at least on yt and sm) grow as a person, creator, and influencer. Yeah so thanks, can't wait to see what u do next both on yt and in ur business ✨❤️
I very much support the LGBTQ community! Your coming out story can help future children and even people now who may be going through the same thing. Not only that but it can very much help parents understand, of course some parents can be very accepting right away and some parents will have a hard time accepting their daughter/son coming out as gay, bisexual, lesbian etc….but yeah I’m so happy for you and I wish you and your beautiful girlfriend the best in the future!!💗
tati I love you ! for everything. especially for sharing your story on this because my journey with coming out and being comfortable with myself has definitely not been the easiest 😭. and I hate that people have to go through that . but having videos like this to watch makes me feel a better tbh . but I grew up around a family who talked bad abt lgbtq and so I felt like it was wrong to be apart of it. and now everything has changed and I’m not rly accepted by all my family but you have rly helped me and yes that is a fact tatiii. I love you ❤️ 😭
I am 14 years old currently living with a homophobic, religious family. I came out as lesbian not to long to my mom and sisters they didn’t take it well. They still tell me everyday that’s “not normal” “ur going to hell” “your suppose to marry a man” like I’m tired. I want to move out. I want to live my own life and be who am without getting negative comments everyday because of who I love but hearing your story makes me want be stronger. I’ll be patient. Thank you Tati you for sharing your story very proud of you! 💛
I love you!!! So proud of you & your strength. Happy that you're happy & things are great w/ your gf & family. You deserve this! Forever supporting you
smh my coming out story is kind of similar, luckily I never got kicked out but I relate to being so close to my mom then feeling like something changed after coming out
I have never appreciated a video more than this one , I am 17 years and realized I liked girls at 12 when I got caught as you did I literally blurted out I like girls , my family is also Mexican and catholic so my parents hearing that literally made them very mad , I know what you’ve been and to this day I’m still going through it , my parents won’t ever accept it and that’s fine , when I discovered your old channel seeing you guys gave me a sense of home that soon I’ll be happy and I know I will , you have shown such a beautiful and genuine side of you and we all appreciate your effort on this video Tati , never give up . ❤️🥺
You are a great warrior...love you i have been watching and following you since the beginning. Your heart speaks many courageous battles love it! Behind you 💯 I definitely have lots of family in lgbtq + community and im a 💯
About 2 weeks ago I came out to my parents as bisexual and it was the hardest thing ever, you have no idea how much this video helped me because my parents reacted the same way, thank you for posting this ily
Thank you for that amazing video Tati you have been through a lot and have a right to be proud of yourself. That video made me cry cause it is unfair that members of our community have to deal with this kind of things. Just know that you all are valid no matter who you are. Sending love to anyone struggling ❤️❤️
this video is so important wow❤️ i was a freshmen in high school and super confused about who i was when you first started that youtube channel and finding it helped me accept myself more than anything. i’ve also came out to my mom since then and you were and still are such an inspiration to me and all the young latina girls struggling with their identity. thank you🥲
i really really needed this, i’m 19 still haven’t came out as pansexual and i feel like i’m living a double life when im out w my gf vs when i come home. it’s draining and often leaves me depressed
She mentioned all those people who helped her including lex , and her family,that's a great thing, bcz .Tati is a genuine person!
i love how tati said that she did her own research and watched videos to learn about herself. now, people who are still finding themselves have tati’s video to look at 🥺
that is so crazy to think about! wow.
This is exactly why there needs to be more lgbt+ representation in the media. Because a lot of us grew up feeling like being lesbian, gay, etc was wrong because all we grew up seeing was straight couples. That’s why I’m glad there is channels like urs Tati! So younger people can see there is nothing wrong with loving who you want to love and being who you want to be ❤️
So many younger people 😂*
I never really had a "coming out" story. Growing up in a Christian household i was taught that it was wrong to like the same gender. It was a sin. In high school i secretly had a girlfriend.

Hopefully things will get better but yes that’s one of the reasons why I never actually join a Christian church because 99.9 percent of the time they are gonna say being gay is a sin.
Wow girl this is MY exact story too 😭 let’s be friendsssssss
Both are curable, homophobia and religion...the best medicine is "education"
I love how Tati talked about lex and her family in a good way♥️! She’s literally the kindest and cutest
I went to thinking I was a lesbian to bisexual to lesbian again to finally finding myself last year. I came out as pansexual 😊 but my parents still think it’s a phase 🤦🏽♀️
It's crazy how similar stories can be, my story is literally exactly the same except im still being patient. Still no love for me by my fam. But Iv moved out of the toxic situation, made my own home and my own little family that accepts and loves me for who I am. Not every blood relative is gonna come around and sometimes you just have to respect that and move on. Your not missing out on anything, they are. You have to realize that your perfect the way you are and if they CAN'T see that, that is OKAY! BE YOU! AND LOVE WHO YOU ARE
This brought me to tears..I remember just a year ago my mom kicked me out, I was forced to drop out of college to then be homeless, living with my gf and her family to be homeless again. being disowned by my entire family and my mom. I still struggle today but I am grateful my gf family loves me and idk where I would be without them. me and my gf are now good and omg...I totally get where you are coming from.
I am sorry I hope one day your mom realizes that a child is an unconditional love that should be unbreakable..keep your head up always.
I’m so happy that you have a family to lean on! I’m so proud of you for pushing through it all.
Who tf unliked this video?! Fight me! Tati is literally an example of being the bigger person 💘
I can relate ALOT to your story I still cannot tell my story without my eyes getting watery but
Very brave for talking about it.
Omg Tati the fact that you didn’t cry shows how much emotions you suppressed I’m sorry but I’m glad your mom and everyone in you life came through at the finale you deserve the happiness you receive 😌 ps we love your girlfriend too 🥰
look at you, all happy and glowing (,: so proud of you tati
I came out in 2017 in my sophomore year of high school and have regretted it ever since. Until my life turns around I'll always feel this way. Shout-out to Vanessa Morgan from My Babysitter's a Vampire for awakening my gayness.
Your mom reminds me of my aunt.. except my aunt is lesbian. Sigh
I’m 25 years old and barely came out 2 years ago. Having to hide your true self from your family and friends is horrible. I can relate to your story so much and thank you for sharing and I’m so glad i got to meet you that one time in the Starbucks drive thru in Tulare !❤️❤️❤️

“We’re like buddies” 🥺💗 so happy for you Tati! 🥰

theres a difference being bi and gay jw?
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
Proud of you Tati 💞🙌🏾
i got into my first relationship & came out in the same year that you & lex had your channel, watching you guys every day was so important to me. it gave me so much hope & during a time when i felt extremely vulnerable & self concern with my parents, watching two young latina girls in a relationship just like me & my girlfriend reinforced to me that it was okay & our love was just as real & natural as any other relationship. i related to you guys so much & im so thankful i had you guys to look up to at that time. i'm very proud of how far you have come since then

you’re the one who inspired me to come out 🥺🥺
We love you tati and I am so incredibly happy that you overcame such hard obstacles in your life. As a first gen Mexican American lesbian (wow first time I’ve said that) I want to say thank you. Im not out to my parents (21 yrs old) but I hope that one day they’ll come around just like your mom did. Much love 🥰🏳️🌈

True perseverance, determination and love for yourself. Coming out and accepting ourselves is a hard experience to go through. Especially being true to oneself when we hear negative comments. The fear of disappointing our family and the fear of losing them is beyond painful. Being ourself is the true definition of love. For anyone going through this, we are all here for you. One day your parents will see the love you have for yourself and for living your best life. Have faith and patience, time will tell.
My coming out story is very similar to yours! I grew up in a Latino,Catholic family. My mom had a hard time with it while my dad was hesitant about it. Took my dad two years to say that he accepted me and that he was gonna help my mom understand it. My mom has been taking steps in the right direction and I’m so thankful that you shared your story. A lot of coming out stories are positive but no one really talks about the hardships. I know my 15 year old self could’ve really benefited from this video so thank you for sharing!❤️❤️❤️
Your life relates almost to the T with mine🥺.. I’m 20 my dad found out about me at 16 I’ve been struggling since 14, just Sunday my dad said he dosent want me in the house since I don’t follow the same religion… struggling to even just find a place right now . Ik things will get better and my gf and friends are all so supportive but family is the issue .. they chose church over everything.
Patience, time, communication, and understanding really are key words in living through something like this. Proud of you and all of us who didn’t and haven’t given up. It is an on going journey everyday that will only make us authentic to who we truly are and realize the strength that lives within us.🤍 Thank you for sharing your story Tati.🤍
Crazy how similar my story is. My mom is accepting of my fiancé and I now. All my family is so accepting and I’m so happy with my life. So happy for you Tati🥺
You were one of the people I looked up to when I was questioning. I went from thinking I was fucked up, to learning about lgbtq, to taking “tests” and watching videos, to coming out as bi as a defense mechanism kinda, to being lesbian
the way i know how hard this was because she’s been wanting to talk abt it ever since she started youtube 🥲🥲 i love u for this. been supporting since day 1
When I came out I was so scared to tell my dad because I didn’t know how he would take it but he was so sweet and said he’d always support me. My girlfriend at the time (fiancé now after 5 years🥰) had a hard time with her mom at first too. Your story is super similar to ours with Hispanic family and religion playing a huge role on people’s mindsets. Thankfully we got through it and I can truly say I’m with the love of my life and I’m forever grateful to live in a time and society that I’m accepted!🥺💓
Tati you make me cry, you’re strong more than you imagine. I love you, I send you a big hug and I’m so proud of you
I just had to comment-I’ve watched you grow since your channel with alexis and i kept following because your heart seems so genuine and pure. im a lot older than you and i’m straight but i also come from a very strict, catholic, latino household so i could only imagine what you had to overcome. so i just wanna say i’m SOOO proud of you for overcoming something so hard and i respect you so much. keep being you tati and never change, you inspire so many people in so many ways 💕
Idk why but I’ve watched this video like 8 times, it’s so pure I love it, much love❤️
Proud of you Tati!! I recently came out to my aunt, sister and friends they have been supportive however I'm not sure how to come out to my mom just yet! Very inspiring💓
Been waiting for this video ever since we talked and you gave me advice back in 2019. Thank you tati for everything love you ❤❤❤
hopefully one day i can be in the position you are now with your family being able to accept you.. it’s such a struggle being able to come out, such a terrifying thing to do. i have such a good relationship with my mom and i wouldn’t want to ruin it because of me.
i’m so proud of you, tati!
so proud of your growth!!!! will always support you 🤎
seeing this makes me so happy, having seen you grown from the beginning to who you are now makes me so proud. i’m so proud of you tati. thank you for inspiring me to be me. i love you.
I love you Maria
Thank you for sharing your story ❤️ your journey will help out so many people and give them hope that with time things can get better
I’m honestly glad I ran into your channel, you are very inspiring and amazing for putting your story out there. there’s not a lot of youtubers who put their stories on social media. I haven’t came out to my parents I’m bi, and it’s pretty scary. your very amazing thank you for your story Tati, love Youu 🥺 !!
that's so beautiful. i'm so, so happy for you.
yeah I just came out to my Hispanic household like a week ago and its been hell. This video truly gives me hope for the future. I just wish it didn’t have to be like this.
thank you for posting this video and for being someone I look up to.
so happy for you and to be apart of this journey 💞
So proud of you for coming out and finally telling your story❤️
Love you always 🥰
beyond proud of you tati , glad to see you be who you were meant to be i love you so so much 💕💕
Love to you all from New Zealand 🥝
This is amazing! I literally cried!
crying. so happy for you.
So happy for you Tati! ♥️ it takes courage to stand up for you are 🥰 my dad is a baptist pastor and Mexican 💀 I don’t know how he’ll react but if he truly loves me he’ll accept me!
as a transman i can say that what worked the best was giving space (obviously if that is an option) when i came out as trans my mom didn’t want to accept it and it made living with her horrible for my mental and emotional health so i decided to move out and that space really gave her time to think it was worth loosing her child forever or simply gaining a son. 🙏🏽
Some ppl smh.. ya it’s a new world when you wake up one day & realize your parent(s) thoughts & feelings on ‘stuff’. I wonder if we hurt more than them. But, it is what it is. I just wish you so much love!!! And happy you & your Mom are ok 🌹♥️
I really related to this. Thank you! I took a while to come out.. possibly till 24-25 when I would get constant panic attacks because I no longer could keep this secret and dating guys for my families happiness was making me depressed.. I’m 27 finally pretty out to most people I come by, and the first girl I dated is the longest relationship I’ve been in 😅 very happy now! My sisters and close friends are so supportive but my mom will not even bring up the subject or wants to know anything about my gf.. so that kinda hurts since I’ve always been the one closest to her. Hopefully she becomes accepting.
momma mendoza came along away!!!! love her and tati, so happy that y'all have such beautiful bond now
So proud of you, and how much you've come along !
And most importantly, that you're finally happy 😊
I’m straight but hearing your story really makes me happy. I hate it’s like this for the community. The part that gets me teary eyed is the uncle saying “she obviously doesn’t need you but she wants you” and it just hit a nerve of me and my moms relationship even tho I’m straight that we argue so much and it’s not worth the evil for anyone straight or not. We all want our family by our side supporting us.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It means a lot because I too did a lot of research about coming out as bisexual … June 2021(pride month) I took the first step to coming out. I came out to one of my closest friend and some friends that I trust. Well the first person that knew was my younger sister. What helped a lot was when I came out to one of my closets friend and how she responded which meant a lot even though she may not know it. It meant a lot because I knew that she was a really religious( or someone who loved her religion) Christian and if she could still be by me then I hope my parents can too.
I have always question myself but I’m scared tbh to try something out because I feel like it ain’t right but idk thank you for this Tati
I've always known I'm a gay guy it's depressing, I wish I could be this open about it. I told a couple of my friends they weren't surprised at all,.
I’m Latina, bisexual, agnostic, republican and in an open relationship. I’m not your typical Latina and I don’t care what others think or say.
So proud of you Tatiana. I have been following you for a long time and although I do not know you personally, I am so happy to see your growth through social media. I know many times on the internet we only post what we want people to see/or think of us in a certain way. But I feel like you’re a very transparent person and for that I admire you. I am so happy that you accept yourself for who you are and that the love you have for yourself makes others want to love you for that same reason. I do have to say that your story is so inspiring and I hope everyone in the LGBTQ+ community is able to see this. As a latina coming from a hispanic household, I understand that many times religion plays a big role in how other might judge someone. A huge shoutout to you because I know that wasn’t easy. In this world you’re here to break all those stereotypes and views. May God bless you Tati, so proud of you and can’t wait for you to continue feeling that joy in your heart!
I’m so proud of you, Tati❤️. I also had a really difficult time coming out to my family but things are a lot better now. I’m so hopeful for everyone out there trying to find ways to come out and express themselves because they can look at your video for inspiration. I wish I had someone like you to look up to when I was younger
We love you Tati!!
Yeah i came out as BISEXUAL too but my parents they didn't exepted me because Hispanic and yesss Mexican so my mom didn't excepted me for who i am but its okay i got over it some people might take it a different way but i LOVE MYSELF AND FOR WHO I AM i don't care what anyone else's opioins about me its my opion TATI THANK YOU SO MUCH for this and thank you for sharing this YOUR AMAZING AND WONDERFUL💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Yes Allyson! I’m so proud of you! You are so strong and amazing! Keep going, i love you! ❤️
@@TatianaMendoza omg i love you tooo so so much ❤❤❤
Yo why tf I'm tearing up like🙄... anyway I just wanna thank you honestly cuz ur like the 1st lesbian Latina creator that I ever followed (yk, I came from ur 1st yt channel) and have continued to watch. Before I couldn't really get into or relate too at the time just like u and all I wanted was someone who understand me and gets it coming from a Catholic Latino/Hispanic family. For most of the video when u talked abt ur early experiences I was like "yup me too" especially the kindergarten part bish me too. So everytime u upload a new video it anyways makes me feel so happy and proud to support a fellow lesbian Latina who I've watched (at least on yt and sm) grow as a person, creator, and influencer. Yeah so thanks, can't wait to see what u do next both on yt and in ur business ✨❤️
Ughhh listening to your mom talk brought tears to my eyes!! She reminds me so much of mine. Thank you for this video Tati! ♥️
I very much support the LGBTQ community! Your coming out story can help future children and even people now who may be going through the same thing. Not only that but it can very much help parents understand, of course some parents can be very accepting right away and some parents will have a hard time accepting their daughter/son coming out as gay, bisexual, lesbian etc….but yeah I’m so happy for you and I wish you and your beautiful girlfriend the best in the future!!💗
So proud of you mama 💜 we see your growth! You’re definitely glowing now 🥰
i’m so proud of you dad:/
Thank you for sharing your story 💙
tati I love you ! for everything. especially for sharing your story on this because my journey with coming out and being comfortable with myself has definitely not been the easiest 😭. and I hate that people have to go through that . but having videos like this to watch makes me feel a better tbh . but I grew up around a family who talked bad abt lgbtq and so I felt like it was wrong to be apart of it. and now everything has changed and I’m not rly accepted by all my family but you have rly helped me and yes that is a fact tatiii. I love you ❤️ 😭
I am 14 years old currently living with a homophobic, religious family. I came out as lesbian not to long to my mom and sisters they didn’t take it well. They still tell me everyday that’s “not normal” “ur going to hell” “your suppose to marry a man” like I’m tired. I want to move out. I want to live my own life and be who am without getting negative comments everyday because of who I love but hearing your story makes me want be stronger. I’ll be patient. Thank you Tati you for sharing your story very proud of you! 💛
I love you!!! So proud of you & your strength. Happy that you're happy & things are great w/ your gf & family. You deserve this! Forever supporting you
smh my coming out story is kind of similar, luckily I never got kicked out but I relate to being so close to my mom then feeling like something changed after coming out
I have never appreciated a video more than this one , I am 17 years and realized I liked girls at 12 when I got caught as you did I literally blurted out I like girls , my family is also Mexican and catholic so my parents hearing that literally made them very mad , I know what you’ve been and to this day I’m still going through it , my parents won’t ever accept it and that’s fine , when I discovered your old channel seeing you guys gave me a sense of home that soon I’ll be happy and I know I will , you have shown such a beautiful and genuine side of you and we all appreciate your effort on this video Tati , never give up . ❤️🥺
You are a great warrior...love you i have been watching and following you since the beginning. Your heart speaks many courageous battles love it! Behind you 💯
I definitely have lots of family in lgbtq + community and im a 💯
Tati this whole video & your moms message at the end 😭 💓
im so proud of you Tati
About 2 weeks ago I came out to my parents as bisexual and it was the hardest thing ever, you have no idea how much this video helped me because my parents reacted the same way, thank you for posting this ily
So so proud of you pretty girl 🦋✨ just know that it’ll get better for youu
i remember the very first video you posted and it makes me happy to see you more confident telling your story!
Wow you’re incredibly good looking! I wish I was this beautiful!!
You don’t see too many coming out videos of Hispanics. Thank you for doing this! I can relate so much :)
Tati I’m so proud of you❤️ I hope you know much people you have inspired to come out including myself. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you for that amazing video Tati you have been through a lot and have a right to be proud of yourself. That video made me cry cause it is unfair that members of our community have to deal with this kind of things. Just know that you all are valid no matter who you are. Sending love to anyone struggling ❤️❤️
this video is so important wow❤️ i was a freshmen in high school and super confused about who i was when you first started that youtube channel and finding it helped me accept myself more than anything. i’ve also came out to my mom since then and you were and still are such an inspiration to me and all the young latina girls struggling with their identity. thank you🥲
SO PROUD OF YOU TATI !!! seeing you grow from 2019 to now has been very inspirational, I am honored to witness your journey (:
i love you tati, you are one of my biggest inspirations. i’m thankful that you exist in this world ❤️🌎
started crying as soon as your mom came on. so proud of you (and her)
i really really needed this, i’m 19 still haven’t came out as pansexual and i feel like i’m living a double life when im out w my gf vs when i come home. it’s draining and often leaves me depressed
