What a gentle voice! You're very handsome & eloquent. Wishing you all the best, because you deserve it! You're an affectionate person...it's in your voice & your eyes!
Watching this brought back a memory I had almost forgotten. One of the youth pastors in Sunday school was adorable! Just cute as it gets. I remember liking him and being so... interested... in him, I was very young and didn’t know why. I didn’t know then, I know now, LOL!

Sincerely … Beau
Shawn, this is a fabulous account of your coming out and accepting who you are. I had exactly the same experience but in a Catholic seminary. You had much more courage and charism than I and it took me another 40 years to have the epiphany that you had and the courage to follow through. Good for you, dude, and may God continue to bless you with love and insight...............Ray
Congratulations on your success in coming to grips with your sexuality. I did so in the late 1960s. I've had two long term relationships. The most recent lasted 25 yrs until his death in 2014. You have a life full of rich possibilities and part of growing is selecting which of your lessons in upbringing to keep. I found so much that is useful as a gay man. I wouldn't throw everyting away.
Shawn, I'm so glad that you didn't turn out the way your mother said you should. You are so much more than the limitations of being who she wanted you to be. Being authentic and genuine is what being "a man" is all about. I hope that all's going very well for you in this present moment. The peace of The Lord be with you always. Amen.
I can relate. Grew up in a Louisiana too with religious parents. Glad to see you armrest doing well and living authentically. It’s a journey and a process for sure.
I love this. I can relate to this there is a lot of people in the church that can be really judgemental and really controlling and they will try to force you to be uncomfortable as a straight man than be comfortable being who you are.
@@brama100 Hate to dissapoint you, my religion since I found it has answered all my prayers and I could not have more joy. Not simple happiness which is dependent on circumstances, but true joy no matter what is going on in my life. Christ brings abundant joy, not misery. You could not be more wrong.
@@brama100 What made me miserable was a life of sin, especially the so called "gay scene", trust me there is nothing happy and gay about that lifestyle.
Me too. It's imprinted upon you. If I'm at an open flame broiled grill, I have an instant flashback to the nightmares of HELL I would have when I was 666ristian. It was freeing when I removed that religion out of my life. Every gay person I meet, that is struggling with 666ristianity, I do my best to reassure and comfort them as I usher them AWAY from the mind control and psychological and spiritual trauma of that human blood sacrifice cult
I have a question….how do I overcome the fear that god will shame and condemn me for having sex….I have held this fear for a long time and it is difficult to shake, and it has kept me afraid to express my true feelings and interact with others in a personal manner most if not all of my life.
I understand. Sexuality is a gift . Intimacy is something we all need. As long as you are not hurting vulnerable people - you are free to love any adult who will love you too. You deserve that. We all do.
Honestly you should a therapist who specifically works with LGBT individuals to work out the religious indoctrination that’s affecting your sexual health. Both are ideal-we are spiritual creatures in a physical body so there’s no reason that our spiritual beliefs and sexual identity should be at odds with each other.
Not too sure if it's more an American thing about it being either gay or Christian. I know there's still homophobia in the UK, but there's also an acceptance of being both. I know Methodist ministers who are accepting and also stand up against bigotry of all kinds. There's also a high profile Church of England (Anglican) vicar who is a former pop star and gay. His late husband was also a vicar.
I'm not sure where my religious beliefs stand these days precisely but I do know that if God Made You then you can't be wrong. Anyone who says otherwise is second-guessing God. People can feel free to second-guess as much as they want but the people who are homophobic are often claiming God as the reason that they believe it's wrong. It has never made sense to me.
What I love about us - is that in one comment we will share a profoundly poignant insight about the interview subject, provide a masterful analysis of family dynamics, critique majority religious culture and norms, and still make sure to tell them that they're hot!
If you're waiting for God to judge you or you're fearful of God, don't be....You've been lied to...You've been deceived...The creator of the heavens and the universe DOES NOT have a brain...It's not human or human like.....It's a force and a power...and it has nothing what so ever to do with religion or a church.
+tangled55 That's not lint. Do you really think that this beautiful man who seem to take care of himself would wear a shirt full of lint for an interview that will be recorded for posterity? And the crew saw all the 'lint' and let it be? Really? Have faith in people!
My friend is struggling with religion and his sexuality. I was shocked when he came out to me. I am worried that one day those repressed feelings are going to explode. He will never part with his religion because he is very religious its essentially part of his life. I was never that religious even though I was the one that really brought it to my family. So I dont know what type of advice to give him. I dont think it will be possible to repress his feelings for men. He told there were times he really wanted to kiss me very badly. Also he is obsessed with large penis. One day he would want to come over my place to do Xrated stuff with me but I turn him down. The following day he will tell me to forget what just happened. Then the cycle repeated a few times. So far he hasn't talked to me about this topic for a few months now. I wont bring it up until he wants to.
It is a spirit of lust, lusciviousness, murder ,rage, a few others also....once possessed they push u to do acts an build up habits. Of course bad ones
God ,This guy's got beautiful eyes! He's got a great physique too, he should have done this shirtless, for among other reasons, it looks like on his shirt, that he's just come in from mowing the property. I really respect that he had enough of a sense of self, that he could be himself. and not be forced into a compartment by what he thought others wanted him to be, for fear they would abandon him. when you know you're gay, and you're afraid anybody that you care about is going to hate you, and want nothing more to do with you, it makes for a pretty isolated day-to-day existence.
Handsome, spontaneous, intelligent. God judges NO ONE. Religion is about Love & Tolerance. But there are many Wolves in Sheep's clothing. They present religion in strict terms...because they are in bondage.
Why is this a battle being fought? Let Tom love Jerry damn it, ain't doing shit wrong. Some species can be gay. You think love is a sin? I don't think so. The bible is a authority book. Guess what laws come from, OPINIONS!
Why do gay guys do that neck thing?? Imitating women yo. My girlfriend does that. It's because the energy of that spirit inside them inside their lives for whatever reasons is the same one in the others. That's why they act the same more or less if u notice. What is indiduality if they mostly all have the same habits an mannerism neck swirling.
you cant fight the nature. god created you as a man. there is no mistake in god work.pls remember god in first in your life.he can guide you the right direction. i am not judging your decision you made.
I hear a gentle brave and kind man who understands a God of love and is a reflection of His love. Thank you.
He's so adorable. His soft voice and demeanor, but there is still something very masculine about him. I love it!
What a gentle voice! You're very handsome & eloquent. Wishing you all the best, because you deserve it! You're an affectionate person...it's in your voice & your eyes!
I used all of my high speed data this month watching imfromDriftwood videos lol so captivating

I think we all know how we really felt, anytime we were in a locker room, next to another naked guy.
Your interest was lust.
@@frankpaya690 that's lust
I love his voice.
It’s the opposite of Morgan Freeman but still so smooth

I used to feel like I was living proof that God made junk. Now I enjoy the HELL- out of my homosexuality!
Great response. I agree.
I love his sweet gay boy voice. He's so adorable! 😘
straight guys sound like that too
And his bald head 😍👀😘
@@Jinxyoutoheaven but they really don't lol
Strange how so many overly Christian parents often times have gay children. Lol. :)
Could god would be trying to make them accept homosexuality? I'm thankful to him if that's the case :)
It's kind of like why do so many children of police and firefighters wind up being juvenile delinquents?
Its take two heterosexual parents to make a gays kids, everybody know that! ;)
Too compressed. No open communication.
Shawn, I'm so glad that you didn't turn out the way your mother said you should. You are so much more than the limitations of being who she wanted you to be.

Even today in 2015, it amazes me that religion is still able to paralyze people with such fear and confusion .
I know!!!
It depends on the religion. My religion is very accepting of LGBTQ people.
Religious Trauma syndrome. It's a things
You are courageous and kind and responsible

All these nice people suffering from religious beliefs make me feel, there's something basically wrong with religion.
+kpunkt klaviermusik
That's because there is everything wrong w/ religion. It's evil and makes peoples lives miserable.

Shawn, you have a BEAUTIFUL soul!
And eyes to match.
I can relate so much with how shy he was about it. I'm not religious anymore but the fear still sticks to me because my parents are religious

Well. You sure won't have a hard time getting a fine man to hug. You're cute as fuck! Sorry not sorry! ;)
You are handsome 😊
I feel like im hearing michael jackson...
Michael Jackson's voice was much higher than this guys , this guy sounded more like Jermaine Jackson
I wonder if this is jayden diore fierce’s prayer “buddy”?!?!?!
FIIIIINE.
he is goregous
The only sin is that shirt tho.
He should have consented to tell his story, wearing only his birthday suit.
So much plushes! Lol i would happily help him remove them.
Jesus wants us to die to ourselves
this is creepy.
prayer I mean. praying is creepy.
Atheist?
