These "coming out" videos are always helpful to someone. Thanks for posting.
"I had some cereal, and then I was fine."
Story of my life lmao.
ikr xx
I was shocked and sad to see that in 2017 kids still go through this ordeal of acceptance in school and family.
I'm glad your family supported you, but what you felt was what I felt growing up in the 70s in a South American Catholic Macho country. No one should be subjected to this.
But I can say that as you grow older, things will get better.
Good luck
Dale Cooper I know right😪 sadly I know a lot of people who are afraid of coming out just because they don't think they will/won't have any support from friends and family. You would think that in 2017 things would be different
Det är så synd att det är så än idag :(
Själv hade jag turen att ha stöttande föräldrar och syster närjag väl tog steget att berätta om mig. Att jag gillar killar liksom. Föresten så klickar jag prenumerera :D
Samuel Karlsson Thank you ever so much for this coming out story..I came out in my Junior year of US, it wasn't a joyous time for me. Sure, I felt that reality of knowing of WHOM I am. The certain amount of PRIDE, didn't come out to my mother till I was 25. Dad was dead at age 19 he an alcoholic, her a extremely hateful woman.
They didn't raise me, but my grandparents did. You are a very handsome young man, intelligent. Be the best that life offers you. And forgive yourself from the mistakes one makes.
Hugs sent your way. John R Indiana PEACE!
Your blue eyes are driving me crazy. Thanks for sharing your story with us
Thanks for sharing your story with us!
P.S. You look very handsome

Alex Kosovo Im glad to announce that you are officially a grade C holistic trainee!
A Holistic Vocal Coach Yayyyy!
It is a tough process, but it looks like you got through it on your own terms. Good for you Samuel! I'm glad that you're happy and able to be yourself. ;)
Also, what you said is very true. Most of us suffer in silence and don't really have anyone to talk to about this personal stuff. Thank God for TH-cam!! haha Cheers
Enjoyed your story, enjoy the journey , keep,safe
Great story, so glad you had a positive outcome at the end. To anyone reading this, who is also struggling, I echo Samuel's final comment. When you choose to come out make sure you do it when it feels right for you, and that you are safe. x
Grattis mate!
Now is when life gets more fun! :)
You an excellent narrator and actor and so enjoyable to watch. Seriously good looking on top of a great personality so wishing you all the best. 💜🏳️🌈🇿🇦
You are brave and I am proud of you. Thank you for sharing your story. Hi From Japan :)

well done and thanks for sharing.
Sounds so familiar, although it's been a long time since I came out, like you I wrote a long email and sent it round the family, it seemed so much easier than having to tell someone face-to-face and luckily, like you, it all worked out well :-) have a great life :-)
My advise is to tell siblings and friends first before parents because if all goes wrong (which rarely happens), there are people to support you, and with siblings, they can protect you when you tell your parents.
Thank you for sharing your story. I think 1 video can go a long way and you are pointing it in the right direction.
What an inspirational video! I'm glad you had the guts to be your true self! We need more people in the world like you.
I can also relate. You're amazing and we are all truly empowered and strong.
Well done! A superb video, Samuel. What you say about the dozens of coming out videos being a great help is so true for people who need to tell their families and friends. Thank you for telling your story. Tack!
a wonderful story and you're so cute! Your serenity is the most powerful message for all the other guys who need encouragement. C'mon guys, don't be afraid to show the world what you are, because you are perfect exactly as you are :)
Thank you so much for sharing your coming out story! These are messages of hope, happiness, and life really does get better. I think most of us have all experienced a very similar story - but I am so glad you shared yours. Thanks again!
I'm happy you came out Samuel. You deserve to be happy. :)
Thank you Sam for sharing your story. You are a great guy! Hugs from Colorado.
edwelty I’m from Colorado to 🤗👋
Thanks for sharing your story. And also for telling us about the dark bitter moments many of us experience(d). I am sure many people will find comfort and courage through your video. I am very glad you got all this positive support and love. I wish you a bright future! :-)
p.s. what those prizes background? ;-)
Such a inspiring story, i recognise youre fear and nights crying in the pillow, congratulations, be Who you wanna be and with Who you want to
Are you Swedish???
Luuu L ja det är jag;)
great of u to share ur story, will help others going through same thing
Why it has to be so difficult and why we have to face so much hate... I want to come out to my dad, but I'm afraid how it will affect him. I love my parents so so so much and I think they love me too, they are my everything and we are really close and my dad is one of my best friends. Even though my mum knows about me we've never talked about it after I came out and I think she is still disapproving because of the society and the disapproval which might bring to the family and my family is quite respected one. Thankfully, I don't live there. London is where I can be myself. And if I can just tell my parents that I love them and as long as we stay together and true to each other, it doesn't matter what hate we get or not. I honestly believe that shared Love is stronger than hate...
Thank you for the video and sorry for speaking my mind. As Troye sais "I am tired of this place, I hope people change"
Thanks for sharing your story :) Glad you have a supporting family. Sending love from Switzerland :)
Good for you! I didn't come out til I was 52. It was easy around my non-church friends, but devastating with my church acquaintances and friends.
Interesting comment - I have received an amazing affirmation from my Church (at least the Vicar and others) I have a few isolated voices crying out in the wilderness - the thing is REAL love - How can the God of love reject true love.
You inspire me so much. This video really helped me come out to my parents. Thank you.
coming out during the 80's and 90's was not so easy for some o us specially coming from a religious background. This new generation is so lucky to live in a generation where homosexuality is being more acceptable
your heart is amazing!!!!! love your story
So proud of you. Such an awesome story, you brought tears to my eyes. You're such a handsome man with a beautiful personality, someone will be lucky to be a partner with you through life,
Tillykke med det Samuel :) Nyd livet, det er kort ❤
I have a really same story ❤️❤️u r the best ! stay strong
Thank you for sharing your story and inspiring others.

I feel the same way ❤
Inspiring and eloquent.
I subscribed!
Nicely done, a very good job on telling your story concisely and fully. Thank you for sharing this video.
Very handsome boy.. enjoy your life, be happy x
Such a sweet story. There will still be bumps ahead as in any relationship weather it be your sweetheart or your family. Keep the attitude you have and you will be happy. I wish.you much love and happiness in your future.
I too as a child knew there was something different about me cause I had a crush on a boy in my Kindergarten room. I loved his orangeish yellow shirt he wore.
BTW what are all your ribbons forward. Good luck and stay strong.
I know you posted this last year but I love the story and appreciate you sharing! It is definitely inspiring to guys like me. Thanks!
Travis Nelson hey Travis! Really glad you liked it!:) I’ve been out for like a year and a half now and I want to do a second one for national coming out day! So stay tuned for that and remember that you’re awesome 🙌🏻
@@SamuelKarlsson Awesome idea! I'll subscribe and stay tuned for that
Oh yay!! That's so awesome dude :D
I hope all is well,
oh you came to Australia? I'm from Melbourne myself, did you enjoy ur trip?
i absolutely loved my trip
Well told. Said it a dozen times, every ones story helps someone struggling to come out or dealing with sexual identity issues.
I am most interested in your award ribbons. Congrats for these awards.
Exactly!:) They ribbons are from equestrian competitions :p
Good for you man, good for you. x
Thank you for sharing your personal story. I relate in that TH-cam helped me quite a bit too as I was watching coming out videos. I'm a freshman in college and I recently came out in my high school yearbook: "I started high school with straight A's...now I'm not even straight! I'm still me, though!" Thanks for inspiring youth like me!
Haha I love that! Thank you for sharing :)
good!👍
thank you for sharing your video ! u're awesome
U r so sincere ❤
"I had some cereal and then I was fine".....ain't nothing that a bowl of cereal can't do baby.
Thank you!
Thumbs up for your video.
This video was such a big help
Sam, you seem like a really nice guy and things do get better:-)
You are amazing bud, No matter what 😎 I will always be a fan. Plus I'm always here if you need a new friend
You are awesome buddy, I knew I was different, from age 6 years. I live in South Africa. Wishing you all the best.
Trevor Roberts thanks dude😄
Well with your looks and obvious kindness and intelligence, you should go far. So don't worry, just be selective about the company you keep and always try to do the right thing. Be happy and good luck, kiddo!
what an INSPIRING story,,your one 'tuff cookie" lol..Good Luck to you,now,and always,stay safe,an stay well..CJ
Very inspiring story, kid. Loved listening to your coming out story.
hello Sam. I just saw your video about your coming out. Your history make me cry 😢. Your are a courage boy. I appreciate a lot your advice. Thanks Simon. Your history is really important. Take baby. Milton
awe babes this really struck me x your really cute x
Awe this was so good :)
tycetyce thank you😘
You are such a cute guy!! I'm glad that you received such love and support from your family, I know for a fact that I wouldn't from most of my family (bi btw)
Sam, thanks for sharing something so personal. This might be a bit long but it's a serious question/concern. Though I think the situation has improved from when I came out 30 years ago, it is still hard. It is still scary. It is sad that so many kids are still crying themselves to sleep and having to hide who they are. It is a huge burden that kids have to bear. Like you, I know that first hand.
Since you are so open to sharing, I have a personal question for you. I don't have an answer or a solution, but I would like to know your opinion. What would make it easier to come out? Is there anything your family or friends could have done that would have encouraged you to come out sooner? Part of the reason I bring this up is that I have heard from people that were on the brink of killing themselves. When they did come out, most of their friends and family would say something like "oh, yeah, we knew...we don't care...we love you anyway", etc. Don't get me wrong, it's great that they had a positive coming out experience and were accepted and loved. But I just can't get over all the years of suffering, and fear, and hiding, and lying that some kids have to go through that might not have been necessary.
Thank you in advance for sharing any thoughts you have.
hi, i think that one thing they could have done would be to have been a bit more oppenly supportive.. i dont really know. i think too much though, thats my major issue
I am so happy for you that you finally came out!!! I totally understand I am gay also.. From what you said you remind me of myself!! Your such a handsome guy! I subscribed to your channel.....I must say one last thing you have the prettiest blue eyes..I hope I didn't offend you By saying that?
Let love rule
hi ya handsome glad to see you come out love your blue eyes.
Had no idea I was gay until I was 24 and still did not come out till I was 27. I had friends who were both male and female throughout my school years. No one ever had a clue, was never outed. Biggest challenges back in my younger days was AIDS or the Black Death so You Tube would have never helped. Glad I'm still alive these days and nowadays being out is not a big deal to me. I wish it could have been better but at least I'm still alive. Best of luck!!!!!
No one who's not LGBTQ knows how difficult a coming out is.
Thanks for sharing! I must say that I'm really surprised that even nowadays, even in Sweden, that there's still some level of homophobia in school. That shows we do need a lot of work to do. But congrats on finally being you! I know how hard it is to come out and I'm still thinking of how to come out to my parents.
Hi, yeah and I've realised that it's a common thing for people to be a bit homophobic.. I find it sad:/
Just don't stress when it's right it's right xx have a lovely day
Samuel Karlsson Thanks for your reply! I think I'll find a good timing to come out eventually. Have a nice day you too :)
💜
You have such a nice accent and you are cute too!!
Thanks 4 this video 💖🙌🙌🙌🙌💖🙌🙌🙌🙌💖
So sorry for you that it had to be so difficult. Shouldent be now adays.
Thank you Samuel - what can I say - I used Lockdown to come out - it meant I couldn't face anyone. It took me 38 years to come out, I know those tears - how did it take so long ? I suppose I grew up in a less inclusive era where being gay was not a real option. I never married though and I suspect a few of my gender have - I came out last Feb and never felt so relieved - I can be me now. I hope too to have a boyfriend - you realise it is the only thing that fits. Bless you and every happiness in the future in finding a true love.
Thank you for telling me your story, it means a lot! And so happy you can be yourself, it's the best feeling :)
@@SamuelKarlsson thank you Samuel for your gracious reply - that also means a lot to me - hoping to become involved in my local LGBT+ society - we can take a pride in who we are and be a blessing to both ourselves and to society - I have told myself a boyfriend will happen when I am ready - this takes time
inspirable❤💚💜💙💛
hey where is the red heart;)
+Samuel Karlsson i would like to give personally😊😊😊
What if I say you are the most handsome boy in the world?
how do you know when its the right time?
im 16 atm and promised myself that il move out before i come out because i dont want to get in trouble with my parents since they can be verry harch and they are homophobic
but i dont want to feel like i am keeping a major secret from them and like I am wrong here
any tips?
on how to cope?
i think that if that is the way you see you parents, maybe its better to wait... or if you have like a safety net to fall back on like a friend or sibling that you can stay with. Thats the hardest part-knowing when the time is right
Samuel Karlsson Samuel Karlsson i have a friend to fall back on, but she is under 18 and lives with her parents so i wouldn't want to become a bother and stay there for over a day
i have an 18 y o brother, but i notice that he also makes homophobic comments.
i used to hope that he only said them to please my parents, but i noticed he also sais it when they are gone
il wait, thanks for the reply it really helped
I never came out and I am 62. I just lived my gay life. It was never discussed. I have been with my husband 32 years. I am more than being gay. Being gay does not define me. I am also an Engineer, Financial Planner, Republican, etc.
Good video. I doubt you'll have any trouble finding a boyfriend!
God bless you and all your Family i know how hard it is to live all that kind of bullying School but most of those who say gay are nosy people who live unhappy because they are do not accept what they are and have to prove that they are real men say men when they are not because a real men will always respect others we all know that no one is perfect in this world and live your live and let others live...??
I relate
Thank you for posting this. if it even only helps one person it was worth the effort. your sincerity is inspiring. well done!
Hej! Vad har har hänt med din kanal? En stordel av dina vlogs är försvunna.
Why did you move to Australia?
Omg your beautiful 😥😱♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ #CanRelate to your story
Just subscribed
Dmitry thanks dude:)
best of luck to you im 47 and probely in denial such corage
My parents still think its a phase and that i can change my sexuality. :( I suffered a lot when i had to pretend i liked girls and had to date them, but now i'm sick and tired of that. I'm glad to know there are others like me. Be always proud of who you are!
lol, wait until they see you parading with a pride flag alongside your partner 40 years later, "its just a phase". Keep doing what you do! Have a great night
Thank you babe. Even if i could i wouldn't change my sexuality for nothing (how could i? The greek gods are all coming out nowadays :D). Most importantly: I was born gay and i'm proud of that, it will obviously never change and my parents are slowly realizing it.
I'm really proud of being gay and seeing ppl like Wentworth Miller, Colton Haynes or Gus Kenworthy coming out is such a huge inspiration for me and for all LGBT young people.
I know someday i will have a husband and kids! Hope u can accomplish that as well.
Rod Litch Exactly! Gus and Colton are huge insipid for me too😄
My story is very similar to theyr stories. There was a time where i had to pretend i was straight and date girls, and it was so depressing and hurtful. I remember both Colton and Gus saying they cried and took pills after being with girls, and that's exacly what i felt. :(
I'm so much more relieved now! Some people still don'I understand that this is not a phase. We will never be with someone of the opposite sex because being gay it's who we are and we will always be that away. I wish you all the happiness in this world Samuel and i hope you fight the right man to be the father of you're kids. :)
Much love
Thanks for being brave and sharing your story. I was really moved. What puzzles me is sometimes you sound like an American, then a bit of a Brit twist on a word. Were you living in the States before you went to Australia? Did you originate in the UK?
beachesboy1994 Nah man, I'm from Sweden:) studied Cambridge English for a while and then I went to Australia:) that's probably why my accent is a bit weird
Kind of you to take time to answer. I wouldn't call your accent weird. I was just trying to pin it down, since guessing where a person with an accent (for me) might be from is a hobby. I was a reference librarian in a public library in a town with a large university. Every so often a student would come in with an English/Australian/South African/New Zealand accent and I would amuse myself by saying to them, 'Do I detect an Italian accent?' Their confusion amused me greatly. Perhaps I am evil.
dam sam your beautiful!!!!!!!!
Heya! Where are you from? :)
Sweden:)
Nice! Heard on your accent you were from Scandinavia somewhere :)
In elementary school I knew then I liked boys WAY MORE than I liked girls. I used to crush on the cute guys in my classrooms. Guess I matured way younger and way faster than my peers. But it was a time that you kept it all to yourself, which is harmful to your self being. Things are a bit different today compared to then. Glad you came out and be yourself.
Michael0301L tell me about it, still don’t feel mature😅 Coming out was one of the best decisions I’ve ever taken!
