' You're not GAY......are you?" I literally choked on my beverage! Been there, done that.... with the same response. Why do parents do that? Are they really ready for an honest answer?????
@@francoisbessing You really had me scared for a moment. Having replied to this vlog 3 years ago, I had forgotten it's content and, for an instant, thought that your remark was to something "I" had said. Now though, I'm glad to see that you feel the same. That no loving parent would ask that question, specially in such a negative manor, with only one possible answer. It's amazing to see that these men overcame so much & turn out so Awesome.
There is a symbolism here; the railway tracks represent a transition, a 'to' and 'from' through life. I applaud the uploaders of this video. It is inspirational. Be proud of who you are; challenge anyone who believes otherwise. Greetings from Australia.
I came out in 1969. I was from a red state in the South. I had to leave in order to be free. The railroad tracks are a metaphor for leaving town. I moved to New York City. I went through very difficult times without family or community support, but it was necessary.
Been together for 13yrs and now in the process of adding a child in our life. God has bless us in so many ways, all you have to do is have FAITH & the LORD will take care of the rest...: )
Such an amazing vid. I'm 36 and grew up loving sports and even though it was the late 90s and early 2000s, there still was nobody openly non-heterosexual for me to confide in or feel safe around telling my truth. I'm so glad that you guys found solace in each other, and are examples to so many other athletes that they aren't alone
I’m 54. So I grew up in an era where I knew no openly gay people. Yes, I found out years later that I was not alone. I started to lie early in life. I had to because to be honest would have cost me much turmoil. Today I struggle to be truthful because for many years I lied. I wish you both much joy and peace. I live in St Paul.
I'm 61 ----- likewise, I never told anyone ---- I've always been fat, which adds another negative factor to most people, so I just keep on keepin' on solo--c'est la guerre.
Thanks for telling your story. I too am 54 and live in st paul. I am having to learn to tell my feelings and needs immediately and realizing I lied and being honest is scary. I am terminally ill as well so telling my "needs" is paramount is others can't tell what I need.
Love your story. You're both such sweet guys. I sometimes think the emotional pain and desire for acceptance that's endured throughout one's early life, albeit counterintuitive, increases empathy and compassion. Prejudice of any kind is simply a learned behavior. I pray that someday adults will lead the way in helping the world unlearn strategies that discount, diminish, devale, and shame worthy individuals.
You guys are lovely and adorable you sharing your coming out experiences. We have all been there at some point... The fear of being seen as failure to our cherished parents, the constant identity battle (who you truly are / who you faint to be) and there comes butterflies
The degree of hate expressed in some comments by those that believe they are for God is a shocker. These ones have chosen hate over love - separation over unity. Love wins because love is all there is. Everything else is an illusion. Love brings us home.
Love is a pure feeling of heart, Love is true when love is new, Love makes the world go round, The passion and compassion that surround, When you fall in love, you are not you, Everything looks awesome, Everything looks new! From my heart, I wish to confess, That I love you!
I think being gay nowadays shouldn't BE even a question! is completely normal! is 2017!....most people I come across are quiet educated...and whoever is not, then probably will not survive in a civilized city...
Bravo to these honest and strong beautiful guys on telling their story. You did the UofM proud. A true inspiration to other athletes who are thinking about coming out or already out. Watching this brought back memories I had pushed away and wish they would stay put away. They only bring 😔 and 😢.
What a great vid. Alec did a great job, with two amazing people. If one gay youth is saved by this vid it is certainly more than worthwhile! Stay True!
Just beautiful couple with a wonderful message to ALL of us. But especially for those that are of an age where being gay is especially difficult. Be true to yourself and love you guys Sooo much and want to say thank you ever so much!! Luv sent your way! XXXX OOOO XXXXPEACE!
What a gorgeous couple!!! I love that they’re polar opposites physically...which shows us that beauty is in all colours and that it’s really not that important, ‘cause it’s their hearts that brought them together. Much ❤️ and Aloha spirit from Honolulum 😍😍🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🤙🏽🤙🏽
What an awesome video congrats guys ! If anyone had any problem with you, it,s not you that,s the problem it,s there small mindedness, closed minds and bigotry, just be true to yourself,!
Where i live no one gives a flying fuck what anyone is doing...follow the lead people who gives a fucking shit what people do in their private lives as long as they are not hurting anyone...gee...
Great video i like👍❤. And tbh this is what im going trough every n single night i said im going to come out to a friend but i cant cuz im afraid to lose my friend. And right now im still in the closet😔
donna baimbridge bless you for that my mom she wouldn’t care if I told her if I was s lesbian she would be supportive no matter what because she’s my mother and I’m her daughter
We need to learn to love or self . And be against stereotyp . Gay isnt beeing girly . But regular guys . I am gay i am hiden bcs i saw social rejection . Wispers or rumors even in or regular life we are targeted
I'm gay, and being gay is more beautiful than having a woman ask for compliments. I love being gay. I never had a boyfriend. I've been single for my whole life not because of my looks it's because I need to be perfect to get a bf.
Buy Gay men are into fashion and interior design and talk funny and walk funny and 'real' men do sports and drink and screw cheap women and fight and wear cargo shorts and have low voices, we ALL know this !! Please !! people are people, love is love and what we do behind closed doors is no-one's business, get a life haters ,,, oh and yes ,, WHO MAKES GAY PEOPLE ? yup !! the answer is STRAIGHT PEOPLE MAKE GAY PEOPLE !!
Hope me too but my problem is my parents don't know that i am bi it's really hard for me to say that i want a guy want to express my love for ever 😢😢😢😢😢
Kids are not born bullies. They become ones from hearing their parents and close family members.
Yep!!
It’s sad because the cycle is so hard to break 😔
@Josue2018 ikr makes me sad
True. Sad. Heart breaking. Also, the poison comes from religion!
Also kids are not born gay? Or trans not born male or female?
He eyes light up when he talks about him. Happy 😊
' You're not GAY......are you?" I literally choked on my beverage! Been there, done that.... with the same response.
Why do parents do that? Are they really ready for an honest answer?????
It's really an inappropriate question. Like asking your child what sexual position they prefer in bed. Should not be asked.

Beautiful story. One day we're going to see such thoughtful stories featuring gay men in the mainstream. These stories need to be told.
Agreed, but gay people full stop.

The Lord ain’t in NOTHING unclean sir!
@@annacaldwell4108 I guess that means this isn't unclean.
Relentless Renee U R the devil so please SHUT UP!!
God will be with you and your family at every step of the way 💕
I really hope this will become a series. The potential of greatness is mind blowing. Everyone goes through the peer pressure sometime in their life.

+beautiful world - your response is all we can do but do you realize your response devalues the pain of hiding.
