A SAD LOVE STORY - A TRUE AND TRAGIC LOVE STORY THAT WILL MAKE YOU CRY

- This video was originally released on May 7, 2012, on the one year anniversary of my partner Tom Bridegroom's tragic death. It quickly went viral and led to the feature documentary film, BRIDEGROOM, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2013. The film went on to have its television premiere on the Oprah Winfrey Network and is now available on Netflix and iTunes. It has won multiple Audience Awards at film festivals and just recently was awarded the GLAAD New Media Award for Best Documentary.
BRIDEGROOM gives an intensely personal edge to the ongoing debate over the legal rights of same-sex couples. Interviews, photos and video footage all testify to the uncommon connection that drew together Shane Bitney Crone and Tom Bridegroom. For six years they remained united despite extreme challenges from both family and society, until a tragic accident tears apart their dreams. Now one must fight to be recognized as his soulmate's legitimate counterpart.
"This is really, on one level, a wonderful, sad, heartbreaking yet exhilarating and life affirming story, and on another level, it's a story about our nation's struggle to make one more step in forming a more perfect union, for which marriage is both the symbol and substance," said Former President Bill Clinton of the film.
BRIDEGROOM won the Audience Awards for Best Documentary at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival, the 2013 Toronto Inside Out Festival and the 2013 Little Rock Film Festival as well as Outstanding Documentary Feature at the 2013 Outfest in LA. Most recently it won Best Documentary at the GLAAD Media Awards. It made its television debut on the Oprah Winfrey Network and is now available on Netflix and iTunes.

I can't imagine your pain. And your partner's family just utterly disgusts me. I hope you find peace in your heart someday and I wish you the best.
ok
I am a mother of two sons. I am crying because your story touched my heart. My sons are my world and I do accept them for who they choose to be and love.
That's nice
Can you adopt me 🥺
The amount of disrespect that people are commenting is the only unholy thing . This man lost the love of his life and all you can do is hate. This is a beautiful tribute and no matter what you say there will he equal rights for everyone
No one's hating? Wtf?
chloe lunn msp there are heaps of people hating on this. Don't know why you can't see it though.
Sharina Inacio All I can see is a load of people saying 'stop hating' and stuff like that...
thats weird because there are a lot of people hating
Can't understand this world sometimes. so sad.
What cant you understand?
How some people find this morally disgusting?
yes its very sad, all love is not only for other oppo. sex this is all people in the world...i feel hurt of this story.
yes its very sad, all love is not only for other oppo. sex this is all people in the world...i feel hurt of this story.
There is whole movie about this story and these guys on Netflix......the name of it is the bridegroom....just sayin
😢😢😢
what the fuck is wrong with this world!! LOVE IS FUCKING LOVE IT DONT MATTER ABOUT THE GENDER...FUCK I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE IM CRYING SO DAMN HARD
I feel you i cant stop crying
I am too I'm in bed thinking of what our world has turned into. A messed up place
I finally stopped crying but the sadness is still in my heart
if you cant take it then go away. damn
XD
I have tears rolling down my face as I am writing this. I have literally been crying throughout the video. It's so touching. Honestly, I have no idea why same sex marriage is even illegal, it's ridiculous. I would usually see perspective on both sides but I genuinely don't see a reason why.
because the president is a asshole not to accept gay/lesbian marriage
Yeah I know that, I was referring to the Government etc
Oceana-Skye Morrison not everyone agrees with us but we have to stand strong!
It was because people are afraid of things that are different and “new” (even tho lgbt people have been around throughout history). Hell here we are in 2022 still fighting for trans healthcare amongst many other disgusting discrimination bills like the don’t say gay act even with gay marriage being legal now.
@@brendonwertz6632 i am writing this 7 years later after having grown a deeper perspective and coming out bi myself and it really is just horrible how 7 years on we are still having these issues and people are still being treated terribly for something that is completely natural and out of their control
You know what I love about this video? That instead of just crying over his loved one and blaming his parents or anything, he's trying to help the rest of us, I believe he came out of that stronger.
You would say something stupid Margaret
don't worry man I lost my boyfriend on a car accident he was talented nice helped the need and very very kind. we were on our way to a concert and drunk people came up and smashed into our car. he suffered really bad head injuries does three days later. still Cry's till this very day since 2009.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
for me he saved my life by jumping onto me and save me when my daughter was born she said why would daddy say if he was still alive cause she made it to high level on singing almost a singer and she also has no legs cause of a bear attack when she said that about him I ran to my room locked myself in there didn't come out for three days. took pills smoked drink but that didn't help that just sent my child to child service. didn't see my daughter for the months.
so sad
+Robert Reynolds what is wrong with you? Are you even human?!!
melissa olson Yea that beliveth in God also in me, in my fathers house are many mansions if it where not so I would have told you so I go to prepare a place for you and when I come again and render you unto myself. And where I am yea shall be also. Jesus said unto Peter have yea not seen my works and yet yea not beliveth in me. Jesus spoke of Love not hatrid.
Robert Reynolds Can't you read? He got his car smashed into. No matter how skilled of a driver you may be, there are accidents you can't avoid. Think and be more compassionate!
The sad thing is, nobody ever really knows how much anyone else is hurting. We could be standing next to somebody who is completely broken and we wouldn’t even know it.
I agree
im still a kid :/ But i like watch sad story
+lalagirl211 Indeed, many suffer in silence. My thoughts go out to you Shane.
+AshG8 Girl same
so tru.....
If this was a straight love story, the comments would be completely different. No one can just focus on love, on passion. I hate the world, I hate the people in it. They are full of hate and prejudice. Why? Why does stuff like this happen? Why do the 12 year old boys in my class refer to something as "Gay"? Why? I here make a vow to you, that I WILL make a difference. I WILL raise my kids to be open minded, and different to the others. I WILL make the world a better place. But I'm just a single person. I can try, but I can't to it alone.
WHO WILL FIGHT WITH ME?
MEEEE!!!
I WILL FIGHT WITH YOU!
ME TOO!
ME THREE
I will Gladly
You're a very brave man and im so sorry that this happend to you.
You both deserved a long and happy life together, this world can be so cruel :'(
im a thirteen year old boy i know how it feels to be kicked out and for saken because i am asian and im not always accepted by white people. i think you two were perfect together i wish i can give his parents a piece of my mind.
I'm so sorry that you're being treated unkindly - I know it's hard to believe but those people will in time be nothing to you! - racism is just an excuse that sad pathetic bullies use to boost their own pathetic self esteem - bullies pick on any one that is different than themselves for any reason - I'm bullied by my neighbours because I'm a single mother living in a working class Catholic community - It's hard to imagine but this kind of torment adds strength of character & fosters empathy & compassion - Many of the most amazing & accomplished adults were bullied as children - However the typical bully remains a nothing as they age
+Kathleen Barrett and I get bullied too because of my skin colour. Just like you said, we are all the same. Doesn't matter who you are just be proud of yourself bcs everyone is unique in their own way
The thing to remember is that bullies will pick any silly reason to belittle & hurt people - They pick up anything a little different & use that as ammunition - Everyone who's been bullied keep in mind that it i the bully who has the problem & not you! In reality the bullying isn't abut the victim but rather the bully - They generate attention for themselves & derive ego gratification from hurting people - There is satisfaction in making others feel as bad about their lives as they feel about their own life! I've been alive long enough to see just how these bullies grow into insignificant nobodies - On the flip side I've seen how victims of bullies grow into accomplished well adjusted adults - They are nothing & have nothing so they need a reaction to qualify themselves as significant because of their nothingness! Keep telling yourselves that the bulling is simply a phase & that it will be over - Don't let it get you down! If it does affect you deeply & causes ongoing stress or pain speak to an adult who will listen - Also keep in mind that the experience will help you to grow into a stronger person!
Ok that is the opposite for me I am white and I don't feel accepted by black people at my school because you know why? black people and white people are different were not the same this is why we should have different jobs and different schools because we don't work well together but that is my opinion.
@@ICANTBELIEVEIAMHIM I live in sacramento one of the most culturally diverse places in america. there is racism every where but they are the outliers out here. tolerance gives birth to more tolerance and this place is proof. we accept that people are different because we grew up with all sorts of people and that's what we are used to. we are all the same. if you grew up here I think you would feel the same unless you grew up with a racist family but that's a different story but that's just my opinion.
He made this video to get a message across to people.
I'm Catholic, but I'm not about to rip on him. If he's actually happy, who the hell am I to tell him no?
Do I have the right to say you can't be happy cause you're gay?
No, I don't.
Who the hell am I to tell him he can't be happy.
This video really touched me. And at the same time made me really angry.
What the fuck is wrong with the world.
He lost someone close to him, then wasn't even allowed to visit him or pay his respect to the person he loved.
Get you're head screwed on straight America
people should not judge a book by its cover those guys were so happy everyone deserves to be happy because love only comes once people don't realize how hard it is until the one you love fades away. he now has to suffer knowing tom is gone just think about the people you love. people are so cold why be so cold to somebody that was happy I feel bad for him after watching the video I cried because ill come out clean I am gay and I know how he feels so if anybody has something cold to say keep it your self he went through hell including what toms parents put him throgh
Christopher Lineman ....ummm thats kind of what I said
Christopher Lineman ....ummm thats kind of what I said
I'm not one to judge but Tom's parents are not right they should be guilty because of what they did to Shawn I'm so pissed at them I can spit fire
I agree with u just playing it cool since I don't know your real name
I cannot be the only one who wants to take a trip to Tom's Parents house and give them a good brutal beat down for the awful things that they did. Tom I am sorry for wanting to do this to your parents but what they did was beyond cruel! Shane I am very sorry for your loss. No one should have to go though this kind of thing ever. I wish the Marriage Legalization was sooner, then maybe Tom and Shane would be happily married.
+Radiant Violin you're not going without me
you are right
Count me in!
Im going with you.
+Scynthia The Violinist yes they should
Tom's family should be ashamed of themselves ...I feel disgusted in my stomach...who are we to tell our hearts who to love....
I completely agree 100%
it's sin
How on this green earth could you call love a sin???????? We should never tell anyone who to love
+Monica Iacobelli God do not like this. Pray for them and let God in charge of their life. God can change them if they listen. I accept them BUT do not agree with them. Amen
Alice Ng in first place who the heck are you to tell me what to do!!! I am not religious at all, Where is God when a child gets cancer?? where is god when someone you love dies??? get a life. and Never ever tell me what to believe!!! have a nice day
I’m straight, but Tom is gorgeous.
you are no more a straight now.
Oh my gosh...so sad...I'm crying so hard. This is why people disgust me. They loved each other, love isn't a choice. Being gay isn't a mental issue, it's just recognizing who you love in a different way...I'm so sorry for your loss. :'(
stunner49 so when did you choose to be straight?
denae bedard Best comment Ive ever seen!!!
i asked you a simple yes or no question. not starting a debate with you over religion, cause clearly nothing can be said to you people, your way to closed minded.
Josh White And how rude of you to call me an idiot and someone who liked my comment a fag. What are you trying to prove with that? It defiantly doesn't make me want to read anything you had to write. Glad to see my one question made you write such a compelling argument...
*clap clap clap clap* I VOTE FOR YOU. xD denae bedard
I am gay, and I am so proud to be who I am, I have always had to deal with people bullying me and saying nasty things about me, just because I'm different. When you're small, you get taught it's good to be different, but how come adults struggle to understand that? This broke my heart, we are all allowed to love whomever we choose. If you are too sour and narrow-minded/heartless to understand that, then you honestly don't deserve to call yourself a human being. My heart goes out to this guy, and Tom. RIP Tom. You will be missed. You both are extremely brave and wonderful. People like you inspire me to never give up!
Gerald Greyvenstein it is great that u are proud to be who u are embrace it flash it everywhere but....people don't know how to except it I am straight I am 12 and my mom has 2 gay friends I love them to death with all my heart and they are proud to be gay they should not be discriminated but yet it does not stop it from being a sin it is a sin today tomorrow years and years from now either way. But this is hell on earth you are under attack every day. jut know the Devil is a liar
Gerald Greyvenstein nobody should bully you, i'm not gay but I don't be mean to people who are. I scream at people who bullies gay's because its not nice its rude, you be who you are don't let anyone change you.
Stay happy don't let words bring u down😄😄😄😄😊😊😊😊stay👬👬
Dude ur right :)..but i don't ever want to be gay..this world is not different it's real but idk I can't.. believe and change ur selves and don't make girls cry to break their hearts...just run away with him far away as u can be.?
Believe ur selves choose who u want to be
What his family did is just disgusting and I think they should get punished for this, because in my eyes this is even worse than crime ... I don't understand how awful some human beings are on this planet..
i want to give Shane a big hug right now ❤❤😢❤❤ I love😘❤
same
masha
Jass
Why can't people just exept that gays and lesbians are going to be together no matter what if they really love each other wow america just wow.
Ya
I think sugar cookies are gross but no were not makeing that illegal are we
Person: what's wrong wit you sugar cookies are awesome
Another person: I think gay people are deliousious
Person: WTF IS GOING ON
Another person: BE QUIET AND EAT YOUR GAYS
Me: well that escalated quickly
You sound like me on sundays
Yeah I know
This man deserves to love who he loves, Tom sounded like the best man in the world to him, Tom's parents control who he loves, I'm so sorry for your lose :'(
I meant Tom's parents can't ever choose who he loves, sorry for mistake
I agree
mare121362 yay, your so awesome!!
logan ferris I'm glad you think so, people just need to accept gay people to gays or lesbians
You are right that's so messed up that toms Parents did that!
People are so fucking cruel.
People need to grow up and accept others' differences.
Children today.. disappoints me sometimes. Especially kids like him. Ebony Moore, I agree with you, he probably hasn't even gone through puberty yet, or even know what puberty is. XD
mickey boy Seriously? Gtfo.
+mickeyboy You have to grow up and face the fact that you are not the judge of mankind. People like you encourage other people to kill themselves. God does NOT hate gay people. He loves everyone. You know why? Because everyone is human, no matter what you say to them. Here's your wakeup call. I hope you decide to change.
In the end GOD will judge everyone not you mickey boy.You probably don't even go to church,do your parents even know your writing horrible stuff like this on the internet and do you probably don't even know what it means to be gay.
The only one on here making sense.
shane im sure tom would be proud of u now...he would be smiling after seeing this frm heaven :")
lol are you sure ??
Yea Tom would be fucking proud I'm with u 🙌
Imène Mellal why would u say that ? Yes he would be very proud of him !
How could u be sure he was in heaven?
Here, lets try a simple exercise. Name a food that you hate. Then ask yourself why you don’t like that food. You don’t choose to hate it, do you? Its the way your taste buds react to it, not your choice. Go eat it, try and make yourself like that food. It won’t work. Because you were born that way. Well, sexuality is the same way. I’m not in any way, attracted to women. I can’t make myself like them. It’s the way my brain reacts to them. I am sexually attracted to men, and nothing can change it.
First started reading this comment and thought you were gonna make your argument analogous to how people are born hating gays and it's not their fault that they hate them they cant help it or something- thank god you proved me wrong I was nervous for a second lol.
then what your saying is GOD isnt perfect, you werent born that way
God has noting to do with it!!! This was a post i have shared, that someone else has posed, made sense to me. Reason being why I have posted it!!! Stop being so DEFENSIVE! LOL
God is PERFECT, YOUR NOT NOR IS ANYONE ELSE!!! lol
That was such a lovely comment, I'm Lewis by the way, and I think that if the world was made up of people like you then the world would be like the best. This video was sooo emotional, my parents would never love me if they found out what I was like. My social anxiety doesn't help either. People always think that I'm screaming for attention when I try to talk to them about how I feel. So I don't like to talk about me. Sorry, I shouldn't be writing this here, sorry...
It's 2016 I'm watching for the first time I'm so sorry for you
His family really got absolutely nothing from their own son, while you got all that one person can possibly give to another. You had received the very best of him, his devotion, love, laughter and joy. Look at all they missed with their misguided hatred.
I am so sorry for your loss. I also lost the love of my life to suicide and for years I felt so alone and scared without him. I know Tom is waiting for you Shane. Please stay strong and keep fighting. You are not alone.
It's a shame now as gay marriage is now officially legalised. Well in the uk anyways. Such a sad story. I thought God said to love everyone.
Yes he did. But you can't mix his words he made a man and woman in the beginning of time because them together can be fruitful and multiply two men or women can not he said love everyone, yes. something like family not everyone loving like husband and wives
It's true that God loves everyone. But he hates sin! Therefore, we should hate sin too. Don't get us wrong. We did not write the bible.
Grace I. remember that back in the history beeing black was a sin, or tell me when has GOD talked to you and tell you whats wrong or wrong, what to do or not to do, ur the hater here, ur the one that will get judged by god, not a person who loves others,
Marco Bañuelos , those who said that it's a sin to be black were not following what the bible says. I am not the one who said it's not okay to be gay. It's the bible in "1 Corinthians 6:9" and "1 Timothy 1:8,9" So, I do not hate anyone, in fact I have a lot of gay friends. I see homosexuality as a sin just like stealing and lying. It doesn't stop me from being friends with people who are gay or people who lie. I am simply saying what's true, according to the bible. The bible is my guide.
Grace I.
WOMAN WHY DID YOU EVEN WATCH THIS VIDEO IM SO ANGRY AT YOU -.- go get a life.. I like watching these comments of support the gays because I like to see nice people supporting a person that has a loss. I cant help to think you have so much time to find out in which part of the bible it said and everything, let me tell you something...
You just want to be correct i get it, i used to be like that but god damn girl go do it in real life.
yes i said god damn
But really I just want to see the people supporting each other i'm very tired of your name appearing in my screen and im sure your pissed off about me and my name appearing on your screen too.
But what are you doing in the commentary of a video of gay people
wow.. dedication, how old are you?
Things are changing very slowly, and things will be better.
I am like crying right now and I can't stop, this just broke my heart people are so messed up, I just can't stop crying 😯😥😭😖😫😿🙀💔👏
You have seen this vid to I cry every time i see it
Cinder,Lilac Lavender,and Vanilla I know right it's so fucking sad
*crying* I watched it again
Omg..don't watch it
I did
Stay strong he is always with you
I am disgusted by how Tom's family acted tpwrds you and Tom himself. They should be ashamed of themselves, threatening to kill your own son because he came out as gay, but failing to recognize his happiness and that he has found the love of his life. This world makes me sick. Honestly, I can't
Love is Love and this love story is beautiful and so sad at the same time 😔💔❤️
Niall's Girl yes it's true I'm sad I watching this video I'm cry
I'm so sorry Shane , i cry a lot when I see this.😢😢😢😭😭😭😭
Niall's Girl so sad🙁😭
I am a Christian and I support same-sex couples. Please know that there ARE other Christians who do too. Tom looked like an absolutely wonderful person, I am truly, truly sorry for your loss. Words cannot describe what it must have been like for you two. Against all odds you stuck with each other. Love is a beautiful thing and comes in different ways. May Tom rest in peace
Why don't parents just love their kids and accept it if they are gay., what is the problem
+Julie Miles Exactly
Easy because they view Gays as a problem and abomination . Its hard to change people's view ,they can pretend that they "accept" you ... but deep in their heart ,in their speech and perception they still view you as disgusting and surely they dissapointed with you
I don't feel pity for this guy at all, more like a deep admiration. How does anyone go through something so hard. Open your eyes and realize how important someone is too you. Love if its real is the most wonderful thing you can have in life. I hope Tom is in a better place and I know he will keep you safe wherever you are sir...
I can't began to tell u how sorry I am for ur lose. It's so clear he was happy with u and the cause of his problems were his family. Ur story hits me deeply. I have many gay family members including my 19yr old sister. I love her and the others so much that we love their parents for loving and making them happy. Who r we to decide what God does or doesn't like. I understand the use the bible as a cop out but the bible also says he makes NO MISTAKES. I hope one day they realize the actual reason for their son's death and that it hurts them til the day they die. Again I'm really so sorry😢
How have u been lately? I worry for u.
Also Jesus had two dads and he was the work of God. Any man or woman using God as an excuse for being anti gay is a hypocrite.
fjghh
No matter who you are or whom you love, love is love. And nobody can take that away.
This video... I'm crying so hard, I have a headache... I can't imagine losing my boyfriend... If I did, I'd lose any reason to live... And just thinking about that... I feel so sorry for the two in this video and I'm worried about my boyfriend and myself... I don't want something like that to happen to him... >~
how can you cry for gay couple huh, and not to cry for a million of syrian babies dying every day ncncncncncnnc
Valon Idrizi syria is a diffirent story so please ,i lost my husband and i know how it is so please. gay or not gay we are all human
+queeniekenjens Ken ok have it to yourself
I can cry for a gay couple and not a million syrian babies because the first thing is closer to me in ANY way and I have absolutely no connections to syrian babies.
+Valon Idrizi
Why are you even watching this video??
Say "potatoes" if you are against bullying, for gay marriage, and want equality for all!
Potatoes!
Potatoes potato PO FUCKING TATO
Pofuckingtato
Potato
Poooooooooooooooooooooootatooo
People are just sick. I still cant believe this actually happened. It sickens me, makes me ashamed of being part of this fucked up society! This brings me so much pain... And this brave man deserves all the love he can get. This is so unfair.
agree
i agree
Completely agree.
The lovely part is that indeed while we may be living in a fucked up society, while living in a world of zero tolerance people will emerge out of nothing, people that actually are worth and are good, people that care and dont care about if you are or not gay.
I am not gay, I dont care if I ever have a gay son or daugther, I would be more concerned if he/she has a disease, or some kind of problems, being gay is not and shouldnt being even think as a "Disease" (I've heard people saying that).
While watching this video you actually can feel the love, I would love to have a person to share my love, a real and pure love, its really sad but sometimes good people happen in your life, love comes in many ways and its not for us to either decide or judge, love is beatiful and to be honest we all can know that the boy's parents didnt love him, they cared more about a book of rules and what the neighborhood could've said rather than what he felt or how lucky he was for finding someone that loved him the way this man did.
If I ever get to be a parent I would be happy to know that someone loves my child, also to know that person is brave enough to fight for the love of my child and is brave enough to keep living in a live that is sometimes so rude, crude and harsh, I would be proud to have someone like that in my child life, I wish many people could live according to what they believe (Good thoughts, nothing too crazy like public orgies :P) and not afraid of living.
Today we cry, tomorrow we'll laugh, we all have to believe that the next day will be a brighter day no matter what.
people take your stuff, take all you own but when you need something they take that away from you. HOMOSAXUALITITY IS NOT A SIN!!!! if you say it is you are a sinner for torturing someone for who they are
Homophobia is the one thing i take seriously. And diseases
lol. but true. that story was soooooooo sad but i didn't cry
I'm in tears, I'm so very sorry, but hat evil family....karma will get them baby, I'm giving you a huge virtual hug, my heart is with yours, I'm a gay guy so I know EXACTLY how it feels, with love and respect....and PM me any time you need a friend 😢😰😥
omg so sad i cant stop crying 😢😢
:'(
Same I'm crying too 😪😢😪😢😪😢😪😪😪😪😪
+Jayson Coates awww 😞😞😞😞😖😖😖😔😔😢😢
+Sahar Kour why can't people just be ok with other people being for who they are
+Jayson Coates i don't know :(
My mom's partner also passed away, about 2 years ago. His family came to her flat and threatened her, they basically robbed her to pay for his funeral. They took his car and what not. It broke my heart when she told me and I felt so bad, but how should I have known? When the funeral took place, she was mentioned only one time(in the speech that was held) as his partner or something. I mean they have been together for I don"t really know how long, maybe like 10 to 14 years. And they mentioned her ONE FUCKING TIME. It broke my heart even more, it destroyed me I couldn't stop crying about his death and the unfairness my mother was facing. Humanity has an ugly face, I hope the majority of us are better than that, but I am not really sure. And when she told me more about him it depressed me even more. He was always so bitter and unfriendly like all the time. I was always asking myself why that is. My mother told me that he was I think even married to another woman, they even had a daughter like 2 years old or something. This other woman killed their daughter and committed suicide... This really depressed me, but I didn't show it to my mom. And two years ago he passed away after a long battle with heart issues. He was operated on several times, and it just seemed as if they were doing experiments on him and not doing anything to improve the situation. At the end he even had an artificial heart. I sensed that he wouldn't live any longer, but I tried staying positive...
Last year also my grandmother passed away like 9 months ago or so, life is just a bitch, I am sorry for this emotional garbage, but I had to get it off of my chest somehow...
People are so damn ignorant
People need to just accept LGBT. It's a real thing, so insulting it will just get you nowhere. Just because some people don't like the idea, does not mean that it's magically gonna have never existed.
On July 2nd, I came out to my parents as bisexual. My dad was super supportive and said he was proud of me. But my mom didn't say anything, just huffed and rolled her eyes. She kept her mouth shut until she heard me pour my heart out to my dad about how I love my best friend that's a girl. She keeps telling me that I'm just going through a faze. That I'm just asking for attention. I told her today that the greatest thing I ever did in life was admit to myself that I was bisexual, and she rolled her eyes. She rolls her eyes or leaves the room when I bring up the topic of being bisexual. She told me to watch out for her mother (and brother) because they'd judge me. But she should have really warned me about herself.
*phase
awe that's so sad!
Im sorry you went through that
i was looking through the comments and i saw some really horrible comments,i was thinking why are so many people against gay? so what if somebody is gay these two people love eachother,take care of eachother,and watch eachothers back like any other relationship they are people so why are gays given such a hard time? i dont see why the word gay is even around like they are people just with the same gender so how is it really that different from a boy and a girl ?????
l'm a lesbian l know how you feel..
my parents are okay with it, but l did have a girlfriend, l may never hold her hand.. never come inside.. they were cruel to me... and mean the whole time..
and when l wanted to tell my friends that she and l were dating she told me, that if l said it, she would break up with me...
And things even worse than that.
l have very much respect for you.. real love is very strong.
we maybe had a different situation, but l don't have contact with her anymore
and l loved her til death, but she just left me outside in the cold...
You and Tom l don't know what to say, so beautiful together..
l hope l find the love of my life one day... l never really had luck in my life
and really my heart goes out to you and your family and to tom l'm so so sorry :'(
if you need someone to talk to.. we can talk maybe it helps though :'(
Videos like this are needed to help open people's eyes. You did nothing wrong. People who don't believe in gay marriage are shallow and insignificant. They can't see past their own noses to the truth beyond.
I can't stop crying. Thank you for making this 💜
This is very disheartening, every body deserves to be happy, be loved and to love. No gender nor religion would ever be a hindrance to a fruitful relationship
This is what makes me sick. Loving has nothing to do with God. Yes it may say it in the bible, but that was made before people even considered accepting homosexuals. Loving god, being Christian isn't about hating homosexuals. It's about doing the right thing. And saying rude messages and doing stuff that Tom's family did, that isn't Christ like. It's not being a human, it's not showing the basic human kindness.

There is no god, so living your life avoiding your true desires is a sin to life, live how you want and live how you want and discard those who try stop you.
Hey dont bring religion into this. Christianity isn't perfect but you can't stereotype the whole religion. I'm Christian and I disagree with this. So don't bring in religion
Tough, I can say or do what I want I will not be told what I can and cannot talk about by a Christian of all people lol. This is what I'm talking about, god lovers are down your throat for expressing an opinion. Tough! And guess what Christianity telling people it's a sin for two men to lay together is relevant here. Without this horrible evil cult of his horrible brainwashed parents, he'd have had a true chance at love, love is more important than some phoney religion designed for vanity, "oh we are too special to just not exist"
Stephen Dunn I'm a christian. But, i refuse to bellow my religion down someones throat. I think it's wrong a disrespectful. I'm also gay. Not all Christians are like the Westboro Baptist Church, man. There's chill Christians, too. In fact, a lot of people don't even know I'm a Christian because I am so against pushing it down people's throats. Open your mind, man. Realize that not everyone is like you.
Dont bring god or religion to this man. Not all of religious ppl act like a strict angel wanna be. Im a christian and im okay with the fact there are gay, lesbian or bi in this world. And its called tolerance and humanity.
Lexie hughes His bfs parents are religious so "god and religion" is apart of this subject, I know it hurts believing an imaginary guy in the sky doesn't like gays, but guess what, he doesn't exist so I don't care :) And I will bring anything into it that I want, I'm not religious so I can't be oppressed, nice try though matey :)
He is such a brave man. His soulmate is and always will be beside him. Idk how he could stand all that pain bc i wouldnt.
It will get better. Remember the days where black-and-white interracial marriage was considered illegal/sin? Look how stupid those folks were! Btw, not everyone adopts to your BIBLICAL WAY OF LIVING cuz not all of us are Christians. I'm a Buddhists and I am proud to be one because there's no discrimination and forceful rule in Buddhism. Love is love - doesn't matter if it's between the same or different sex.
Love is about two persons caring and protecting one another. Get that fact right.
Preach it!

What happened to this poor man is a sin. Loving who you love does not make you a sinner, people who treat you badly, threaten you, don't allow you to be together, they are the sinners. I support Tom and Shane full-heartedly, and everyone like them. Whoever you love you love. We are humans, we bleed blood, we breath air, the only difference is how we use our hearts, and who we give our love to, and that should be something that we honor and celebrate, not destroy.
I agree with you,person with cool looking profile pic!
Who?
Your the only other person in this conversation so....
Kay. But thanks. Glad you feel the same
it don't matter if u r gay straight or lesbian we r all the same people and its not a sin to be gay or lesbian
Agreed
+NinjaWarrior All the Abrahamic religions say homosexuality is sin. So I don't understand where you say that it's not sin, when it is.
Sorry it is a sin!
LyNxWiTheR - Minecraft And More! Agrees with me its not a sin
Agreeing with men does not make it a fact. God already laid out the rules for us, it's in the Bible.
I will never forget this mans story. God bless him. His lover will always be watching over protecting him..
I wasn't crying, there was just some ninjas cutting onions in the room. Damn onions.
im only 13 and i can honestly say i support the LGBT community, People honestly make me mad with this stuff. Love is Love you can not force someone to love somebody or something; either they do or they dont. Everybody should have the right to legally marry who they want. without being threatened by society. I have no problem with any life style of living, way of loving, or religion. More people/parents need to realize you can't stop you child from loving someone. If they love someone they love someone its not in you jurisdiction to decide that for the. We're so worried about influencing kids but its your child's decision for that not yours. A child being homosexual doesn't mean they are different from the child you loved or raised. WE are so blinded by our ideals of what love is that we dont realize we're hurting people in the process. Nobody should ever have to go threw this.
I am 10 and feel the same way. Sometimes I wonder how the world ever became what it is to this day. People really act dumb sometimes.
I'm sorry man, i think people should be allowed to love who they want to love
I’m a gay 15 year old boy and I’ve never been in love I’ve had struggles that have involved the police and I’ve been hurt by people who regard me as nothing and I watch this and it gives me hope that it’s all worth it so thank you c
Gay relationships may seem weird to straight people, but the world is big and many other things also seem weird, does that meanings we should just erase everything that seem weird? Then why was the word "capacity" created?
He wouldn't need medical help BC he's happy the way he is and his parents should have been supported
gays are the funnest people to be around, there so nice, and plus there expressing who they are... :D
This is so sad.. I have no words! How can Tom`s family.. especially his parents be so heartless.. when their son was so warm-hearting and caring!? I'm so so sorry for what you have gone through! Stay strong!
This story broke my heart....its so very sad.
I watched this a do was smiling at the start looking at how cute you two are then when you said he died my heart dropped and I cried my heart out :'( this is soo sad :'( you should be aloud to see him :(
I think with same sex relationships you have to flip reverse the feelings and understand what it would be like for yourself to be gay and get the hate that these people go through. They are no different to anyone else and in the 21st century you would think that they should have the same rights...so sad to see this medieval oppression still happening !!!
The true love isn't dead!!! Just close your eyes and think about tom He live with you!!!¡
How different it would´ve been today that gay marriage is being legally opened to all states. I think Tom from Heaven is celebrating. Love (which is God´s command) always wins.
I do know that, I have heard it and read it, but also know that God´s love is bigger and wider reaching all individuals. So let God judge us all, My job and yours is to love and treat the neighbor as you want to be loved and treated.
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[a] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] There is no commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:30-31
***** Look, the problem that I have found is to take the Bible as words written in stone. I do believe in God and that God has inspired the prophets, but it is certain that there is human thought in it. If we follow the Bible as it were written in stone, you and I should not have a arm or an eye because we are all sinners. It is interesting that what bothers is thinking in two guys or girls having sex??? I guess that is being more perverted than other people. What not thinking in just humans, with no labels at all. That is all we need. We will have a much better world.
Erase my case ASMR101. God sent his son Jesus to saved us ALL. You said it well, I totally agree.
Natin Gerardo Guzmán Lol no, half of this shit is made by the christian religion, without you people the world would be infinitly more accepting...
Why are you so hurt that this is bothering you a lot? I do understand that you don´t agree. You are so entitled to any opinion and that is ok. However, in your words it is perceived hatred and resentment. A person whose God is in his heart cannot have such feeling towards another human being made by God. Why men feel attracted to another? That I do not know, but I do know that God loves me and He died for me, you and everyone on the cross to save us ALL.
keep on living for him, he is always with you even through the rough times
I'll stand with you! Love is love no matter what. Stay strong.
For all who is wondering what Shane is doing, he is committed to rayvonowen in a concert he proposed to him,he found his love guys 😊
I bet the parents did it
I thought the same thing.
***** im so sad story :(
I was thinking the same thing!
ya
+WildGurl Dreamer you don't know that
this story makes me appreciate my boyfriend alot more, i hope one day he will be my husband as i will be his
This is 6 may 2020
Is he your husband now. 😀
@@jumbangsongthing6605 no, but maybe we'll meet again some day when we're more mature (:
@@pleb1105 bless you 😇
Pleb way what do you mean are you guys no longer together ?
It's very sad to lose someone you love. My heart goes out to him.
dont hate yourself for what you are love yourself for the person you want to be
It's ridiculous how people treat gay people. There are people who're against gay marriage but if you asked them if black people should have equal rights they'd say yes. Why should it be different for gay people?
I believe in God and I am a Christian but I am no where near a judgemental person. The whole Bible in my opinion is just full of contradictions. God says "love one another" but then goes on to say that "no man should lie with another man" I believe that no one has control of who they fall in love with and for this particular person to feel like he cannot cope anymore is the most upsetting thing because there is a huge percentage of the population in the world who feel exactly the same and who don't have supportive parents, just like Tom didn't have. it's just disgraceful and no one should feel like they don't deserve a place in this world just because of their sexual orientation. equality should be more recognised in this world today. thoughts are with you. xx
I'm listening too...and sharing. What you have (not had) Dear is so Precious! And no one or nothing can erase that. You are beautiful in Body, Mind, and Soul
*to an opponent, tolerance, to a friend, your heart, to your child, a good example, to a father, deference, to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you to yourself, respect to all men* ❤
I can't stop crying, I wish u guy could have been together forever... I'm devastated, I'm so sorry.. I didn't do wrong in ur life/ I don't even know u but I'm sorry for ur separation
"Up yours" from nakateleeli
I cried so hard those PARENTS should LOVE there KIDS NO MATTER WHAT who beats there own kid and threatens them with a gun those parents are disgraceful and for people to think that anything besides being straight is a sin there WRONG god didn't write the bible okay and two I will stand for equality with you
I have a bucket full of my tears beside me. Gay or Straight, everyone should love and be loved. Stay strong always! :)
I cried throughout the video and I'm so sorry for your loss. Thankyou for this it has opened up my eyes.
Aww I cried and I hope you feel better. I wouldn't know how to live like that either . 😟
omg.... i cry like a baby.... why is always gay love so sad ? we cant be happy ? never ? :,(
Me too. This is so said and happens way too many times.
Oh, so sorry this guy....
:(
There was so nice couple....
+Atila Pasterko it is not true. you'll be happy for sure. love will always find its way. just be patient and love. may your life fill with happiness together with the one you love.
I don't think so, I have no lucky in love. Now I meet a guy from Brasilia, we talk every day,since 8 months, and I realized that he use me, he need just my money, not me. But I fell love with him. Hes 27 old... we...ahh.. is no lucky for me
He didn't have to kill himself over his parents rejection of his lifestyle. He could have just left home and start over life with his mate. That's how it should have been.
He didnt Commit suicide. He was taking photos of a friend and lost his balance. It was a tragic accident nothing more so find out a few facts before you make a comment like that.
I'm speechless. How can any parent do this to their child.Your child's happiness IS your happiness.
Exactly, his parents are so cruel, that word doesn't fit them they are evil!
+cocksucker166 you sir, are a sick, evil person and you are a disgrace to humanity.
+cocksucker166 ok you're going to talk about sins like you have a soul and then say things like that? please. you're obviously trolling
AMEN! I am just shocked by these comments from stupid self-centered hatin people!
I cried like alot :(
Me too. 😰
thats cute
There should be equality for people of different sexual orientations. Gay marriage ( not a civil partnerships) are legal in the UK in March. Britain has made a move forward how about the U.S.A join. They dont have to let gay people get married in the church the British have made that against the law to protect the church but otherwise in the UK gay people are gonna have the same rights as any straight couple. (The uk had already legalised civil partnerships before this new law arose) I am a Christian and straight and even I feel it is out of order along with the ignorant comments on here. You should love who you want to it is your life god gave us free will, human beings sin all the time no sin is above another so you have no right to judge someone else and judge not unless you wished to be judged.
God Bless you! I'm listening and there's millions of straight ppl like me who believe and know the real way, Equality for all!
the real way to what straight or gay people
I am so sorry for your loss. It is clear in the video that he loved you as much as you loved him. I just want to hug you and your mother right now. I wish you peace.
*im so sorry , but i have a word , no one is perfect* :-(
stay strong
Be sure of it !!! We do all for that !
This world is full of fucked up people and tragedy my heart goes out to you
Somehow I already started crying when the music began
cus you're a bit higher as nigga
