Two Beeps is a gay couple living in Brooklyn, sharing their life with the Internet.
Jeremy, I'm a youth counselor of guys in your age group [17 to 32]. Your video this morning explains perfectly what gay guys in the 'coming out' process experience. Family, religion and society all influence our concept of whom we are. They are very powerful forces in our lives. If they are misinformed about sexual orientation, it creates a tremendous hurdle for us to jump. When you found John, you found a soul mate. The freedom, thrill and joy that took over your life was awesome. Then you knew, this IS who I am. I celebrate and revel in the love you and John share. You are most fortunate and blessed...............Ray
Coming out is probably one of the bravest things a person can do, thank you guys for sharing your experiences with us and I hope they're useful to others who are still strugguling with their sexuality and coming out, We love you guys, you truly are amazing
+Francisco Daniels People are playing video games to be heroes, conquer enemies, worlds, fight demons etc.: as you say the bravest thing for any of us is to present our vulnerable, nascent selves to a critical, judging and hostile world. A bravery unrecogonized to some extent. Thanks to your comment I remembered how 'brave' we all have to be; every day though.
I just wanted to hug you right now! I love you and Jonh so much! Keep doing us happy!
I can tell that was hard for you to share such personal stuff. Just know that you are helping so many people struggling, you give them hope and courage
"How I Met My Beep" is my favorite how we met video ever and I've been waiting for these since then. I knew they were going to be wonderful and boy, are they! Thanks so much for opening up like this...it means so much.
I know me too
+Mary Wehring Absolutely, Mary! We're so glad that we can use our channel not only to entertain but to also portray a healthy gay relationship. It can be hard to open up sometimes, but if it helps even one person, we think it's well worth it. Thank you for your love and support!
i love how you guys practically came out with each other, that you weren't alone. while the struggles were internal, you had a battle partner and i find that so romantic. i hope to find someone like that someday. Much Love xx
As a group, several of us are sitting here watching yours and John's coming out vids, while waiting for our next class to start. We are all impressed with both the emotional sincerity and devotion that you both put into these, and the obvious love that you have for each other. “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
- Lao Tzu
You have several new subscribers here :) Just a group of Law students from California University of PA.
I was so moved by your story. I'm 51 years old and in a relationship for 23 years. We finally were able to marry last December. Even after all this time, I still have feelings just as you described. Keep moving forward. There are good things ahead for my favorite two beeps.
+Tim Wooten Gamble That's awesome, congratulations! We are very excited for our future :)
Thank you and John so much for being inspired to put up these vids w/ subtitles.
Another thoughtful coming out story. You two really present a wonderful story of coming to terms with being gay and developing such a beautiful relationship. Kudos to you both.
Shallow things first: you shaved! You look so different without stubble/beard. Younger I think, maybe more vulnerable. Your hair is on fleek! Your eyes look beautifully big!I can't imagine how hard it was for you, not just making this video, but having to 'come out.' Like I said on John's video, 'straight' people don't have to come out, and it shouldn't be any different if you're gay/bi/any other label people want to use, but sadly it still is. You're an inspiration for doing this video; these help so many people. I'm so glad you found each other, and through that, yourselves. I'm not naïve to think that you have a perfect relationship, I'm sure you have your ups and downs like any couple, but what you do have, is clearly very special, and you're so lucky to have someone to love like you love each other, and to be loved by the other too. I hope one day you are able to take his hand in public without even thinking about it, because that's how the world should be. You should be proud of who you are, and of your relationship, of course you should! No one should ever make you feel like you can't do this, but sadly, not everyone has figured out that LOVE is LOVE, it is not defined by gender. You're a beautiful couple, and I feel really privileged that I get to watch your videos. Oh my god, I want to hug you so much when you're emotional. Thank you for telling us your story.
Thank you Jeremy. I gave into the fear and anxiety. I married the girl, still hoping that if I conformed, it would 'fix' me. That wasn't fair to either of us. Now divorced and 43, I am now comfortable and brave enough to be my true self. It is all thanks to beautiful videos like yours. Two Beeps are inspirational! You have helped me so much. Thank you!
As a straight, old grandma, I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you guys! Life is short, trust me -- you blink and you're old, so live your life the way it feels right. No one can knock love. There's not enough of it in the world.
I am glad you guys decided to share your stories/life with us. I look forward to seeing the two of you your chemistry is amazing, makes me smile even if it's been a shitty day/week. If you do encounter haters in the comments, remember that they are NOT the majority. A lot of us are just creepers that watch and never comment but we DO love you both. Watching you and John get emotional in these last two videos made me wish I was closer so I could give you guys a hug and tell you how much your channel means! (HUGS)
😢 The emoji says it all. Like John's coming out story, yours was very emotional and very personal, so thank you Jeremy for taking that deep breath and sharing it with everyone. Coming out is never easy, and for better or worse it's one of the things that brings everyone in the LGBTQ+ community together, as we can all relate. You've struggled and come out the other side a better and happier person for it and you want to give back. That's amazing. There is still much to fight for, though I'm not in a relationship I know that feeling of worrying about holding hands in public While it shouldn't be, to do so is like a challenge to society. But we'll get there, and I know as John and Jeremy, and as Two Beeps, you'll go far!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful coming of age story! So beautiful!
I remember having such strong feelings for guys in my dormitory that it scared me. I stayed deeply in the closet, dating girls and doing what straight guys are supposed to do when they're away at college.
Thank you so much, again!
You are a treasure I will always love! 2 Beeps are 2 Jewels of humanity that make us hope more, give more and love more!
So much of what you said rang true for me. I started a GSA at my liberal Seattle-area HS because of how much I heard "that's so gay" around me and I too still have insecurities about being openly gay/couply in public. Thanks for sharing your story with us. Also, stop with the whole making me cry thing you guys!
A very moving story and an important message to others who are still struggling with their identity. Jeremy you now have another reason to be proud. A great bookend to John's video. Thank you both and much happiness together!
You know the show The Fosters? Yea, my favorite show. Anyway, I showed my dad an episode and any lesbian/gay affection causes him to look away and roll his eyes. Great. I can just imagine him rolling his eyes when I tell him I'm gay. Fun. 😞
+Anthony Snyder Maybe, but maybe once he sees that he knows a real live 'one of them' it may not be as you imagine. Hard to know but maybe try a few test questions ('Hey marraige between men and women is now legal, I reckon its OK, what do you think?') to see where he is coming from. You might be right, but also you might be surprised.
Nice job Jeremy. Proud of you & the courage it took to put that story out. Beep On!!!
This literally made me cry 😭 when I came out it took me 3 years to decide what I am to myself then I told my family and friends. They were so supportive with me!! I am so proud of you Jeremy ❤️
+Lottie Penny You are so sweet! Thank you for your support - it means a lot
Its my pleasure, i love you guys to the moon and back!! I will support you till the end!! ❤️
I hope sometime in the future being gay won't be such a big deal and people won't be afraid of being themselves
Lovely video. You make a great point about how coming out is a never ending process. Also, how despite being part of a loving family, negative self talk enabled you to think than you were less than. Glad you found your beep.
+Christopher Tilley A lot of times, the struggle is much more internal than external. For me, the biggest hurdle was accepting myself. I'm glad I found my Beep too :)
Jeremy, that was a beautiful video. :)
Thank you, Jeremy, for doing this video. I know it wasn't necessarily the easiest thing but I know you will help others. I love your heart and your willingness to share a part of your lives with us.
Man a truly raw video. It's hard the things we have to go through to be ourselves ! All I will say is big hugs to you both !! Your #1 fan in Australia xx
Jeremy your story touch my heart and brought me to tears. Because all of start like that dating girls even though we want to date a guy. But the world is changing and now there's more acceptance. And at the end of the day you found John a person who love. A message to everyone don't desperate because it gets better. Thanks for sharing your story Jeremy.I love you guys.
Yes, it's quite sad that you, growing up in liberal Massachussetts in the Noughties, had to go through the same painful process I went through in conservative South Italy in the Eighties (!), but it's wonderful to think that at the end of this process you met your soul mate John, just as I met mine 22 years ago :-) Thank you for this wonderful video and please keep up the good work ;-)
So moving! I went through years wondering if somehow I would change, while feeling pretty certain that I wouldn't. The struggle in society still continues, but I'm so proud to see it moving in the right direction. I'm very grateful for all those who helped get us to this point. And thank you for having the courage to help those Beeps coming after! Love you!
+Harry Laube We're very fortunate to be grown up in this time when he wheels of acceptance are slowly turning. If things were different, we might have never started a TH-cam channel!
What's a word that's more than fantastic & amazing? Coz that's what this video is!!! You appear so confident in the other videos on your channel, it's sooooo refreshing that you show you are vulnerable like every one else who is coming out or has come out. This is a very relatable video and I'm sure many people will be helped by watching it. And it's also an entertaining video to watch.
Two Beeps FTW!!!!!
+Ken Chapman Thanks, Ken. It's definitely a different kind of video, and sometimes it's not so easy to open up. Glad you could relate!
Since I started watching, you literally gained 13K, I'm so proud and quite lucky tbfh to have been able to get a rainbow star and so many replies, as for your coming out videos, I'm sort of proud of you telling your story, and even more proud of you for filming youtube videos, you opened my eyes just now. you guys are a lovely couple, and I hope to see your faces for many more weeks/months/years
You guys, J&J, are both so frank and honest it is certain you will help some poor someone out there that'll see this and be blessed by it. Great work, guys!
I'm glad that you're both here and willing to share your
lives with the world. It gives such a positive message of hope for us all. Thank You.
"Kids are mean" truer words have yet to be spoken. Love you guys!
+Maya Bode Mathur Thanks for your support, Myra!
+Two Beeps :D ... wait I forgot I hate emojis.
Thanks for sharing your story, Jeremy. Even though I'm out and everything I still get anxiety about being too apparent when I'm in public or with strangers. I just hate that I don't know how the people will react.
I have to say I can relate to a lot of what you have said in your video. I'm so happy that you and your partner are being true not only to yourselves individually but to each other and now to the world. I know first hand how hard coming out can be. The emotional roller coaster we go through as gay people is really intense at times. You should consider yourselves lucky you have loving and supportive families because some of us are not so lucky. I can only say that as you move along your life's journey continue to love yourself be true to yourself and life does have a funny way of working out. Thanks for a great video.
Love you ❤ and i am proud to be part of this.
A wonderful, emotive, heartfelt vlog.
Omg, the entire video I just wanted to Blue Skadoo into my phone and give you a GIANT HUG!!!! I am so happy that you have figured out who you are and were willing to share your story with us ❤️❤️❤️ I love you and John so much because you two have impacted my life in such a big way that I can't thank you enough for just being yourselves and turning my life around❤️ Also, if you ever get worried, just remember that John will always be right next to you and will help you with anything and everything ❤️😘😊
Thank you for sharing your story! I'm so glad you had such supporting family and friends. I'm so thankful for TH-cam. It is such a wonderful platform for people to share their stories. I get to see people like you and John and just how beautiful and normal your love is. I'm hoping some day that elementary school kids will come to understand that sexuality does not fit into a perfect little box tied up with a shiny bow.
These are my absolute favourite coming out stories on TH-cam they were so intimate and heartfelt I just want to thank you both for sharing them because they're so inspiring to us your subscribers and we love you both for it
let me hug you, please....you and John are just adorable....hope you will have a long life together! kisses from France
❤❤❤❤you two... your stories of coming out arent just inspiring for us..they are therapy for you... to say aloud today youre proud of who you are is a healing process for the child in you who didnt have the voice...confirmation to the awkward teenager he has value...validation. to the men you have both become thay your love is just as worthy and real as any other person living on this planet...this video is the steps to over coming the stigma that there is something gross and wrong about the love you and John share... Today begins the celebration of how good your love is and will be for years to come... im so humbled by how you met and how much you compliment each other... we all aspire to have a love as wonderfully kind, fun, endearing and truthfull as our Two Beeps... blessed be this Hallowed Season...😘
Idk about everyone else...I love both of the Beeps!! They're so cute together :)
It's amazing that you were still struggling with your sexual orientation, really not that long ago... and yet seem so completely comfortable, cool, and hysterically funny today. It's hard to imagine you any differently.
Thank you for sharing your story! It is a process like you said, and that was nicely put.
I am so happy you've received so much love and support from the TH-cam community :-)
The struggle you describe in your coming out process, the battle mostly with yourself, is generally typical of gay people, I think. It was certainly that way for me. It may be harder for some than for others, but I expect there are very few who don't go through what can best be described as a grieving process. The metamorphosis from being what society expects of you to being true to yourself is painful, something is lost (our old self) and we grieve, even if we don't call it that. But in the end, the true self emerges and there is more beauty in the world. I know there is with you and John here. You share some of your life with us through this medium. That gives courage to those who are struggling still, and affirmation and a model to the rest of us. We love you, too.
+boinerz Thank you so much - well said! We hope that sharing our stories can help those who are going through similar struggles.
Thank you so much for sharing you story. It takes great courage to open yourself up and share something so personal. I know this video ( and John's ) will help others currently struggling to accept themselves.
I am so happy for you guys! Not all of us have the luck to find love the way you did!! cherish your love for ever!
Thanks for sharing your life with us !
Love your videos and love you guys !
Xoxox
Thank you guys so much for doing these videos. Both you and John's videos provide a great support system and pick me up every time you post them up.
I have the same experience too. When I was a little kid, my peers used to call me sissy or faggot and said lots of mean jokes. As I was growing up, I found out what truly matters is being honest with yourself and don't let those stereotype upset u. I'm so proud of u guys and also very glad to see the contributions that u have made to the community which can made this world better and more pluralistic. Thanks for sharing ur coming out video. I'll always love and support u guys, even though I live on the other side of the earth. FFL!! PS: love u guys in skinny jeans, looks great!
you two guys are incredible,love and support my two beeps boys!
I love you guys, you're just both so genuine.
This was so sweet! I loved both of your videos this week and I adore your channel! So raw and incredibly touching; I admire your courage!
Bravo to you both. Your videos always give me a welcome shot of joy.
I never got to tell my parents i was gay, i am much older and thakfully times are changing. Thanks Two Beeps for your channell. i wish yutube would have been around when i was struggling. Love you both
Been watching you from week one and I love how you have progress as a person, a couple and a TH-camr. Good job and very nice video.
Love you guys. I think there are so many people out there who can relate to this. I know I can. Coming out is a process and its something that is sacred to us as individuals. The possibilities of the unknowns of coming out are endless. I came out 5 years ago this Halloween and it still gets me emotional. Its crazy growing up and feeling so secluded and trapped because we are so terrified and ashamed of being gay that we put so much pressure and emotional baggage on ourselves. Then, once we come out, a whole new world opens up to us and for the first time we feel free. Its a shame that it has to be that way. Now, after feeling so secluded and alone we have something like youtube where we can reach out to thousands of people to make it just a little bit easier to say you are not alone and you matter. Beep, you are an amazing and inspirational part of the LGBTQ community. I hope I get to meet the Beeps one day next time you are in LA.
Although youtube isn't the best place for it here is my story.
I'm in a loving relationship for almost a year now and I'll move in with my boyfriend soon.
He supported me and made me feel awesome about having him in my life although I'm basically still in the closet mainly because of my parents.
But if they can't accept me as I am they'll lose me.
So even though this is just another comment in youtube know that being gay isn't abnormal or weird as some people try to make you believe.
I doubted myself for many years and thought that being gay made me weak or less of a man, never think that way.
You have only one life and you shouldn't live in fear and regret because people tell you to.
+Samatas Beautiful message and story. Thank you for sharing
:-D
+Samatas dont limit yourself or let anyone tell you anything like your not good looking or handsome because on the inside your just like everyone else a betiful person and good luck =)
+Bonnie Bunny beautiful*
Jeremy and John, Even though we don;t know you we feel connected to you through your inspiring videos. For us you show being gay is completely normal, healthy and real. Moreover, you show that gay people are actually really nice guys as opposed to the often stereotypical portrayal - it's nice-to-be-nice as we say. Never change. Sending our love and best wishes to you both from England. George and Alexis. We'll look out for you when we're next in NYC and maybe buy you a drink. XXX
Jeremy I am so proud of you and John. Thanks to both for sharing your coming out stories. I have had some of the same struggles that you talked about in my life. Thankfully now I accept myself but because of who I am I live closeted and will have to all my life. I am happy that your generation and the others coming will have an easier way to live. I know there is still a lot of improvement needed but we have come a long way. Thank you guys for your channel.
I love you guys so much! You don't realize how much hope you've given me, and given other people just by putting yourself out there. I've watched every single video of yours and admire your relationship. Just by being yourself inspires people, so continue doing that. We are all here for you.
please continue to do what you do people like you help myself and others with our depression & anxiety
Thanks for sharing this story! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your and John's journeys! Keep it up :)
This video was lovely, I'm so proud of how far you have come. Love you💙
You are wonderful Jeremy, so full of life! So happy and proud to call you my friend! Can't wait to meet John in person. Love you so much! Robby
♡ Jer ♡ 2 beeps
Always proud of you two and your work. Truly an incredible couple. Always make me smile and always make me laugh. Always make my day brighter. Thank you for sharing your coming out stories. ♡ ur beepster
+THEoriginalAMIGO Thank you! We appreciate the love and support so much :)
Damn, Jeremy!!! I'm seriously at a loss for words. Except, wow, and thanks for this amazing video.
Thanks for sharing this Jeremy! :)
You two are a real benefit for so many who struggle with what is still to most a dirty secret, God bless your families for the support they have given you. I wish you both all the happiness
I loved both of your coming out videos so much. My story is more like Jeremy's though because I felt and went through almost exactly the same tings, even going to a liberal high school in Mass haha, but for me growing up with an extremely religious family, I only knew "gay" to be an insult as being stupid or inferior, which is why I never wanted to actually be gay, and thought that maybe I could get myself to like girls the same way I liked guys, but that was never possible. I remember going to church and always praying so much asking why I had to be made this way, and for God to please change who I liked and who I found attractive. I stayed awake at night crying and praying trying to understand why I would never be who other people wanted me to be, and who everyone in my church always wanted me to be, but nothing ever changed. For me coming out has taken, and is taking years and years, and I still haven't told my family yet since they are totally against what they call the "gay lifestyle". I constantly feel like I am never good enough to be their child since I am gay and I hear them say things like "I could never accept a gay child", or "I could never go to a gay wedding, it just isn't ok", or them constantly mocking people who are gay and what they have done because of the fact. They don't realize that every time they say something hateful towards the gay community, they are also, in my mind, saying they hate me as well, and that I will never be enough for them. Seeing people truly be supportive however makes me happier than anything, just like I am happy with watching all of your videos. I see the love that two people in a same sex relationship can truly have with one another, and I see that happiness that you bring each other, and I know that this is something I want. Even just seeing you two together in your videos, and making me laugh or cry or just feel, I know that one day I have to chance to truly be happy, and to not be the abomination I have always thought of myself to be. One day, even if my parents don't approve of it, I will be able to love and live healthily with someone of the same sex, and it does not make me any less of a person. I truly love what you two do, and I want to thank you for making my days, and my knowledge of the future brighter.
I can tell that this was hard for you, but I'm glad that you could share this with us
You and John are heros
Thank you and John so much for these videos !
Thank You Jeremy for sharing this with us. Next time your out in public and your with a group of your trusted friends, take advantage of it, there is strength in numbers. Take hold of john's hand and enjoy the feeling of closeness that holding your partners hand in public will give you. You'll have a whole group of your friends around you to make you feel safe and comfortable and your friends will protect you and support you. BIG HUGS to you and John and heaps of LOVE.
Wow I saw so much of myself in both of your stories. Especially you describing your early adolescence hoping to grow out of the gay. Thank you for sharing your stories.
I just wanna give you guys a hug after these coming out stories, but i can't cause I far away so I'll do it virtually *gives virtual hug*
+Two Beeps I know I'm sooo late, but omg, Jeremy this was so touching... thank you for the trust and confidence you had to say this to us, it really means a lot. Lots of hugs❤️
This is so... Deep. And so relatable and you just said every single bit I think is so important to mention and that so many people don't mention...
Love, support abd adore you.
Love and support from a viewer from the other side of the world, from Egypt. Two beeps you are awesome together, your love to each other is ideal. I am honored that i got too close to you both despite you never and will never meet me.
I love your story ❤
Great video! Yes coming out is definitely a continuous process. The more I say I gay the more comfortable I become with it. Took me a very long time to make it to this point. Thanks for shearing!
Thank you so much for this video guys
Guys always stay strong, when there's a hateful comment, there are too much love comments and support too! :) Love you!
+Miguel Deleon Thank you! Luckily, we're been very fortunate to have predominantly positive comments :) Love you too!
Two Beeps :) thanks for the answer! I literally love when you answer to people so that shows you guys are so nice ;D also if you follow me on Instagram i'll be always grateful for it !!! follow:@miguel.016♥♥♥♥♥♥
Thank you so much for your video, Jeremy! It was, like Johns video, so inspiring and it will help a lot of people! :-)
awe great video! so many hugs!
your stories are such an inspiration. thank you for sharing your stories!! I LOVE YOU TWO BEEPS!!!
Jeremy: I enjoyed John's story and now yours. I did not know you went through all of that. It is indeed an experience and a journey. Jeremy look at how far you have come with your acceptance. I must say I was impressed with how you expressed your feelings and told your story. I could tell it is still emotional for you. You did another milestone today in telling your story. I have seen you and John holding hands in videos. I had no idea that you were being that courageous. You keep working on that journey Jeremy. You have a good man( John) and the support of friends and family. You take care.
Both your and John's coming out videos are so amazing and inspiring. Thank you so so so much for sharing your story.
Wonderfully sweet and moving stories from the both of you. Thanks for sharing. 💗
When I came out, I had the locks changed on me. That day I lost my parents my siblings and all but 3 of my friends. I'm glad you had a positive experience.
That's a very moving testimony ! I wish you all the happiness you can get ! Thanks for sharing it with us !
Jeremy, your history is almost like mine. I can remember being in an all boys Catholic high school and hated gym class because I didn't want the boys see me excited (you know what I mean) when I would see them in the buff....Your Chanel along with others gave me the courage to come out to my family recently. So to that THANK YOU!!!!!! You did an assume job on this video by the way I wish you and John the VERY BEST and will keep you two in my prayers.........
I am so glad for brave gay men like you. I am so glad I found your channel. Luv you guys. I think you're great.
I think John brings the best out of you and you do the same for John. I can't pick a favorite I like love you guys equally. I hope you realize everyone will hate on you for whatever reason gay or not gay, people can just be so mean
This video, like John's, made me really think about my own coming out experience.thank you for being you guys
This is the most sweet and happiest come out video I've ever seen~~~~~ (co-1st place with John's)
This so wonderful to see. I hope you know that videos like this mean so much to us and we love you so much❤️ (off to watch John's vid now☺️)
thank you for opening up and sharing something so personal.
