I am straight but I have a friend named Cody who is gay.His coming out story is terrible.I was the first person he ever told.Of course I was supportive.He then decided to tell his parents.His mom said."No you're not I will not let you be gay!" His dad punched him and said "If you are going to be a disgusting minority then get out and never come back." I will never forget 2:00 am in the pouring rain on my front porch sat my best friend with tears rolling down his face with a black eye and busted lip.My parents knew before his and he lives with us.His parents signed the papers giving my parents custody of him.His parents told mine that if they accepted him than they were going to hell.My mom looked at him and said "I'll see you there." Cody is now very happy and has an amazing boyfriend.Thank you for sharing yours it gives hope for a lot of people.Keep being the adorable couple you are! Xx
Allison Jones I just hope I will meet more people like you. My life is just pathetic. I have a boyfriend and we are living together. And non of my friends or family knew that im gay. They all thought that I am a womanizer and I dont have a serious girlfriend. But I am still happy because my boyfriend's family is very supportive and accepting. I almost cried when my bf's dad called me "son" one day. It means a lot to me. You probably don't care about my story but I just need to get this out in my chest. Have a great morning . :)
+John Carlo Pormento I love to hear people's stories! I'm happy for you and your boyfriend! I'm glad that your boyfriends family is supportive.I wish you two the absolute best in your relationship.
+John Carlo Pormento hey you i was juste reading the comments and found yours and I don't know if this is gonna make you happy but just wanted to say "you're not alone, and you're just perfect the way you're" sending you love and support from a Moroccan Gay .
PK Creedon I simply love the way Mike just looks at PK telling the story. Not intervening. Just looking. Guarding him with all his soul and all his love. Being his guardian angel as he opens up about his experience. That's true love. Those are the two souls that were meant to meet in this world and complete each others heart. PK. You are one lucky soul. I hope you'll never have to leave this angel of yours. Because he is love impersonated for your heart.
I'm going to take a totally different observation to this video because I am sure everyone will say it better than I ever could so with that said; the absolute love I see in Mike's eyes every time he looks at PK is just mind blowing! Not only this video but every video! You can fake a lot for the camera and take it from someone who knows this from working behind the camera but the one thing you can't fake is the eyes. The eyes tell it all, all the time. PK, you are one lucky guy and I am sure Mike would say he is the lucky one because he simply adores you. It is in his eyes!
Thanks. I could not have said it if it were not true but Mike is the one that really deserves the thanks because we don't find too many people in the world that love someone so unabashedly. It sort of restores my faith in people. All people.
I REFUSE to understand how can anyone dislike this vid, given its message and how important the issue is to thousands of people all around the world! A truly inspiring, emotional, and uplifting story.....You and Mike are such an inspiration for the LGBT people and it does mean a world to me and I'm sure to others too.
Jan Nowak -- Re: 'dislikes': These are unhappy souls whose only perceived power is negativity. They grow into adults, incapable of healthy relationships, still living in their mom's basement.
Jan Nowak PK said that sharing your story can inspire other people to share theirs… And I thought, really, is that the only reason why they are posting this video? How about a coming out story makes for good video content for their channel? Well, by the end of the video I reproached myself and was convinced that it was deeper than just sheer entertainment. The video is indeed beautiful and inspiring. Having said that, I hope that one day people will no longer have to come out, but simply be. I find it awkward anyway that whole I-have-something-to-tell-you moment. Why can’t people just start living a gay life nonchalantly when they are ready to be open? If someone asks a guy if he has a girlfriend, why can’t he say “I don’t like girls”. Who are you going out with? “My boyfriend”. I think that would wipe out the awkwardness when you’re ready to be you - and also put a claim to a right heterosexual people have always taken for granted.
+Cade Buchanan and I don't get your ignorance don't you have any productive stuff to do than to put hate comments, I'm not saying that you are homophobic or anything believe me you left real clear but man if they want to put an into to their video well let them. You know what I mean for them I bet it is like a tradition or some thing
Never think that your story doesn't matter. By sharing, you give courage to others who are afraid, strength to those who feel powerless, and love to those who find themselves without it. You bring beauty to the world through your thoughts, actions, and love. Thank you.
I think, PK, that *every* coming out story is beneficial to someone somewhere, struggling to be who they are. The bad ones prepare us; the good ones, like yours, shine a ray of hope. Perhaps one day, coming out will be one of those horrific things relegated to the past. Two moments in this moved me deeply: the first, at 5:39, when your friend in Ireland said that "you are a beautiful soul," I nodded and whispered, "Yes, he is." Then, when Sean, at 8:04, says, "I love you no matter what," it reaffirmed to me how wonderful your beautiful family is. And the way Mike looks at you, touches you, supports you throughout this . . . portrays the epitome of love. If I did not love you two already, this would set it in concrete. Thank you for sharing this with us.
boinerz Those are two of my favorite moments too! Thanks for the love and kind words as always. I hope this inspires people wherever they are in their own journey.
I generally don't like watching coming out videos but I have to say that this is one of the most beautiful and important videos I have ever seen on TH-cam... I think. It's so representative of your channel and what the two of you portray every week when you get behind that camera. You lead full, wonderful, enchanted lives and you share them with us. Just read these comments, PK and Mike. Some are inspired to come out like you. Some are crying. Some are entranced by Mike's loving gaze (beard=woof btw, you keep rocking that). Without even trying you give thousands of people HOPE for a loving, supportive family. For a story that some day, not too far now, we can be happy with. For love, for a partner in all things that will make us finally feel like we have found our perfect place in this world. And lastly you give us hope that there are beautiful souls in this world. I'm not a religious person at all but you have a beautiful soul, PK, your friend Piper was right (one of the most emotional parts of this video). So thank you, Pike. For all that you do, and all that you don't know you do. I look forward to Mike's story. Please, just keep broadcasting your lovely selves because, to quote that famous scene from Prayers for Bobby, a child is listening. And furthermore we're all listening, and we have your backs, and we know you have ours. All the love I can send through the screen. 8-)
Every coming out story, whether positive or negative, is SO important and has the potential to help someone else take that vital step. Thank you for sharing yours with us.
The amount of silent support and love that Mike is giving you throughout this video is so overwhelming... I have so many tears streaming down my face right now, that was beautiful. Love you both
The most incredible part of the story in my opinion is your description of the internal feeling of coming out starting at 3:44. I could not agree more that it is such a vulnerable moment and that anything can happen. I was lucky enough to have the incredible similar to you. A heart warming story. You are an amazing individual PK, and you too Mike. AND y'all are a fantastic duo. I'm so glad i stumbled across one of your videos 2 weeks ago and have binged through them all. lol. I feel like we're friends now =). #AlwaysSmiling #AlwaysWorthIt
Your story about your grandmother really hits close to home. When my grandmother passed away suddenly, the thought running through my mind over and over again was, "Why didn't I tell her?" The regret of not having taken the chance to tell someone so important in my life about a truth so essential to me was tearing me apart. At that time, I wasn't out to anyone in my family, but in a way my grandmother's passing catalyzed my resolve to come out to the people in my life who mattered; it made me realize that life is brief, and our time with our loved ones is too precious to wait. Even though I never had the chance to tell my grandmother who I really was, I try to make it up to her every day by living openly, and never taking those around me for granted. I think it's turned out for the better. Thanks for sharing.
You guys are such an inspiration!!! I grew up in the 60s & 70s when being gay was NOT accepted. There was SO MUCH hate and anger for gay people during that time! I was forced into the closet in order to be "accepted" and make my way up the career ladder at work. I made some decisions that I regret to this day in order to be accepted in society. You guys are SO lucky to be living in an era when being gay is now very accepted. I hope that someday soon that I can myself get the courage to change my life, come out and live the life of happiness that I really want and deserve! In the mean time, I watch your videos and am happy for you two and so many others that are so happy!
I never got to tell my Gran but I believe that she knew. Grans know much more than they let on. My last convo with my gran she said ' I don't understand why there is such an issue with people loving people. Who cares if man and woman, woman and woman or man and man love each other. They should all be allowed to marry. You should be loved for who you are not what you are'. Thanks for this video... I have binge watched nearly all of your videos in the last 3 days 🙈 you guys are awesome! Much love from Ireland x
Every time I watch videos like this, I get pumped up thinking "yes now I can go tell my parents", then all of a sudden my heart is going so fast, my mouth is dry, I'm shaking etc. I will do it one day but that feeling is so powerful.
SoloTopGuy Hecker support for u :))) Let do it by one day my friend I strongly believe that your parent will approval and stand by you because they love you so much
Albert Adolf One you know your own circumstances. Wait until you feel comfortable and feel that the time is right; then, you can come out and feel good about it. Also, make sure you do it in an environment that is safe. Again, only you know your own situation. If you can come out, it will be a huge relief for you, and it will take a huge burden off of you.
***** I would leave the second sentence out - sounds a bit like an alligation to me. ;) So either only the first sentence or with an additional nice one.
***** Wow, I didn't know his parents are like that. Of course, usually I say "fuck that all", too. But I wouldn't use such a sentence when I don't know how my parents are going to react.
This is such a strong and emotional story. I hope that it can help at least 1 person. Back when I came out about 20 years ago, there wasn't really anything for support and encouragement. All of my family was supportive, except for my father. I told him that right now I needed the love and support of those around me. He said he couldn't give that to me because he couldn't understand my lifestyle. We didn't speak for the next 9 years. We have since opened up with each other and I have even moved closer to him now and I spent this past Father's Day with him. My point is, yes coming out is scary and reactions are unpredictable, but in order to be completely happy it's worth the risk.
PK and Mike will forever be one of the GREATEST couples on the planet because not only did they make it through the struggle, but even though they don't say it 24/7, you can see how much they genuinely love and care for each other through the way they look at each other and the small absent-minded touches and gestures toward each other. That kind of stuff can't be faked for the camera.
5 days ago I told my best friend for the first time. You were right: it was the scariest moment ever. In fact, I had to text her 'I'm gay' because I couldn't pull my shit together to say it to her on the phone. and she responded "you know I don't care and I'm fully supportive" and I just started bawling my eyes out because it felt so good to know I have a true friend who doesn't care about who I like. Your story inspired me so much and I am truly proud to be considered one of your subscribers! Thank you for doing what you do!
Powerful content here. Raw, emotionally honest, mega courageous. I was tearing up because I was moved by your story and ability to be vulnerability. Mike demonstrates how to be a loving rock, allowing the feelings to come up pass through, being there to love and soothe you. And you can clearly see Mike begins to tear up because he sees PK in pain. I feel like in this moment you can really see their deep love for each other and their hearts beating as one. I think what separates your vlogs from other gay couples is a conscious sense of wanting to use this platform to educate and to set an example of the profound power of love to elevate the human experience. I kept thinking of all the lives that get saved watching this video.
I couldn't have said it better. You're story is really touching PK. When I came out to my mom I couldn't get the words out and when I finally did, she said the same exact thing to me that your mom said to you "I'll love you no matter what". You truly are an amazing, sweet and kind person. Thanks for sharing your story. :D
My best friend in middle school came out to me. It was definitely hard for him to do so young and even though I didn't fully understand, I did understand what being a friend meant. I did what I could to make him laugh and make him truly understand how okay I was with it and how okay it is to be yourself. This video made me emotional. You are amazing. Cannot wait to hear Mikes.
Hi, PK & Mike :) I just got into your videos because of Matthew Schueller and I'm absolutely in love with you two. To me, both your Coming Out stories were so incredibly important (being closeted myself) and they inspired me so much! I definitely feel so much closer to actually coming out to everyone. I also find the two of you to be genuine, kind-hearted and amazing people. I especially loved how close you are to your family, PK. To me, that was the best - you guys are like a well-oiled machine, and I'm not gonna lie, I was lowkey jealous haha. I only wish my family was that well-bound. All in all, I think it really is worth it to smile :) I LOVE YA'LL
PK, telling what your sister said made me a little misty-eyed, but when you started talking about not having the chance to tell your grandma I'll admit, I totally lost it. I don't think I've ever cried so much at a coming out video. And I'm sure I've seen nearly a hundred. I've been waiting for these videos from you guys for a while, and I'm so happy you finally decided to share this part of your life with us. You and Mike make me smile on a daily basis. We love you guys.
Pk you really touched me with regret part. Thanks for sharing that part of your life I appreciate it. I'm 22 and my dad pass away 3 years ago and I came out to my family on my 21 st birthday. I been through that battle of regret and it still pains me to this day that my I didnt give my dad the benefit of the doubt and I feel like he had a right to know,but what you said made me feel a bit better and know hes looking down proud. Again thank you for sharing. Sincerely you and Mike's fan , - Ramsey
I'm not gonna lie! I so cried watching this. Thank you for your story and your sincerity. To hear a story is one thing, but to see a gay person put himself out there for the world to see and tell it with such honesty is such a gift. Much respect. Just THANK YOU!
I'm a grandmother of 8 and I can honestly say that I would love them all no matter what their sexuality may be. I see the love between you and Mike and I'm so happy for you both! 👬❤❤
I currently attend the University of Tampa. Since starting my second year here I finally felt comfortable enough to come out. I've been nothing but supported here on campus by so many people and could not imagine a better place to be myself. It's good to know that you had such a positive and affirming coming out story when you went here as well. Thank you for sharing your story and giving me an extra boost that I needed to feel comfortable about myself, I really needed that. It's so hard to put my faith in people sharing such a private part of my life, and I don't want to regret keeping that part of me concealed. I'm still partially hiding in the closet, clinging to some kind of fear I have of rejection, and watching your video may just be the push I need to go out and be who I am. Thank you...
I understand your sorrow Patrick... My grandma died from cancer a few days ago and I didn't even have the chance (courage actually) to be fully honest with her, anyway I want to believe that she's in better hands from now on and she supports me even though I can't see her, thank you for encouraging us to be as we really are : )
Gay, Straight, Bi, Trans love is love and everyone should accept you for who you are. This video was pretty uplifting, for those who are gay and struggling with coming out or for those who are straight who won't know what it's like to be gay. Awesome video guys
Thank you for sharing! I am sitting here in tears watching the video! Very encouraging! Do not hold in the regret of not telling your grandmother. It is better to have left things as they were then to have opened an uncertain door, considering her cancer diagnosis. Things happen for a reason and your relationship with and memories of her were more important than telling her you are gay. I know it is a bit philosophical and you are dealing with emotions, but it does help to look at things that way sometimes. Love you guys!
Why would you make me cry PK? Wonderful coming out. We love you too. Don't stop believing in others and yes you made cry, but it was a good cry. Enjoy your weekend full of marriage equality updates.
PK - I haven't cried in a long time, but while watching this video I cried like I hadn't before. Your story brought to the surface memories of my own grandmother who I lived with during a period of my adult life. We were so close, like best friends, yet I never did tell her that I am gay. She passed over 7 yrs ago without me ever sharing that truth with her. I am much older than you and Mike. My parents are in their 80s. This year, I decided I could not make that mistake with my parents. I finally gathered enough courage a few months back to come out to them. I am happy to say, they were accepting without reservation. My Dad said that his one wish was that I would find a man who will love me as much as he loves my Mother. PK - Mike looks at you the same way that my Dad looks at my Mom - they have been married over 60 years. To those out there who are struggling to come out, it is never too late to claim and own your gift of being gay, to hold your head high and be proud of who you are and what you can become. My hope for you is that unlike me, try to not to let so much of life's time and potential slip by before claiming and owning your true and authentic self. Life is too short to deny your true self. I remain hopeful that I too can find someone who will look at me as my Dad looks at my Mom and as Mike looks at you. Thanks go out to you and Mike for the example you continue to set for others and as I commented previously about the picture taken of you both kissing among the “religious” pride protesters, I say again - Preach Pike Preach. Much love and support sent to you and Mike. Now that I have cried, I'm gonna continue to smile...because they already know.
Rob Sutherland Ohhhh man, now U got me crying....wonderful story...hits a homerun here only because I was the same way with my NANA....but as of to day, I still have not come out to anyone. I am Bi, married with kids, grandkids.....and Just Wished.....by living in todays soceity, and as of today, Equal Marriage for EVERYONE was Passed in our USofA.......My life and the path I have gone down in my life, would BE SO DIFFERENT!!! Hope you have a wonderful Rest of your life....Hugs and best wishes my new friend. JR...
Thank you for sharing your story with us. I agree, it's important to share our stories in the hopes to open others eyes, as well as inspire others who may be struggling. I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother passing, and I'm sure that she loves you regardless. It sounds like she raised a great parent, and grandchild. Much love your way.
How can people dislike this video. The video was an opportunity for pk to share his coming out video and he was brave enough to share his coming out video. Stay strong pk
What a powerful and moving story i'm crying so much right now I wish everyone's coming out story was as beautiful as yours and no one ever experiences judgement and shame for being gay or whatever label they are struggling with. Maybe someday. Definitely someday. I know your grandma is looking down from heaven smiling and extremely proud of what you've become and i'm sure even if you weren't able to tell her she understood and she felt she could leave you here on earth with a happy home who supports you and maybe for her that's what matters. And she can leave peacefully knowing your family's got your back no matter what.
That was very emotional and so beautiful. Mike was like a rock at your side filled with love in in his eyes. You two are wonderful together. Then (from snapchats) he gave you a foot massage. More Reese's for Mike! Love you PK. Thank you for bringing rainbows into the world.
I've been waiting for these. PK, anyone who even just watched your videos can see how passionate you are about things you love. Your work, your family, and Mike. It's respectable, and you can also see that you're an amazing son, brother, boyfriend, and just an amazing man in general. Mike is so lucky to have found you. I wanna be your best friend! I'm also glad to know that you have this whole TH-cam community that supports and loves you. I know it sounds weird, but when you let us into your lives, it feels like we know you. Thank you for sharing this with us. And know that we would have all been at Pride celebrating with you. ❤️❤️❤️
you probably won't see this but I am so glad that you guys came out. It doesn't matter what other people say because you are you and nobody can change you. It is your life express how you feel to the world. I think that you guys inspire a bunch of people to come out of the closet. You are so lucky to have Mike,Friends, and family to support you guys. LOVE YOU GUYS :*
What an inspiring video. How in the world can anyone dislike this? I had tears literally wobbling in my eyes when I heard this. You two are so cute and perfect for each other. Also you two seem super sweet and kind. Hugs from Washington state.
The only coming out story, out of the hundreds that I have seen, that made me cry. All I can say is thank you. Thank you for helping me find myself. All my life, even when I was four, my family knew. But I live in the pacific northwest, and my family took it better than anything I could've imagined. I remember when I told my twin sister, I was in her room and I told her and she started to cry. And I felt my heart slowly melt away, but like your sister she said, "I'm sorry that you have to deal with those assholes that live here." And we just hugged and then my heart came back into shape. Then I told my brother and he knew too. Then my mom and she just said, with her motherly voice, "I know sweetie. I'm just happy you told me." Then came hours of tears and love and I had never felt more safe. Then the hardest one, my dad. My dad grew up in the south so that made me especially scared. Then when I told him, at T.G.I. Friday's in a San Jose Airport, he looked me in the eye and said, "Nothing will ever change my love for you son." And then I heart became an unbreakable and safe place for all the love that my family gave me. As I got older, other family found out and no one cared. They just saw me as their nephew, grandson, cousin or just plain family. Though my grandma never got that change. She had died from lung cancer one year before I was ready. That is my greatest regret. I never got the chance to let her know the true me. And then again, when my grandpa remarried and I had lost another grandmother to lung cancer. Though my story is not filled with sadness and separation, it does not mean it was easy. Telling someone else about who you are, after finding out for own, has been the hardest thing for me to do, even harder than high school. But I hope that PK's story inspires those who do not want to waste another minute hiding. PK has inspired me to show this world what I've got and how to make the most of it. Even though your closest may have good clothes, what is the point of having them if you can't show them off? Thank you again Patrick. Truly.
this is by far one of the most touchy videos I have ever seen and I really want to thank you for sharing it with us, I know it was difficult but even those difficult moments help others with their own struggles when you share something this personal, I know you don't know me but I am so fortunate to have met you even if is through your awesome videos, they really help me and show me that there is still hope for the rest of us who came out really late in our lives all because of fear, I only wish I had known you before and I'm sure things would have been easier. Keep loving each other and never let go of the beautiful love you have for each other which is really hard to come by these days, love you both a lot.
I can somewhat relate to your story and/or journey as you called it. My family wasn't as accepting (glad yours was!) and I remember feeling EXACTLY (and I do mean EXACTLY) how you felt... The feeling of uncertainty, worrying about reactions from people. All of that is to be expected & unfortunately you've just gotta roll with it. I can especially relate to the story of the grandmother you mentioned that you didn't get a chance to tell (by the way I'm sorry to hear how she died.) I like you wish I would've told my paternal grandmother before she died but again like you I never got the chance to so I totally understand how you feel. Not to overshadow your story but I myself am disabled so you can imagine how that was for me on top of not only that but also being black (and for the PC folks African-American). Anyway, I say all this to simply say keep doin' your thing man you're an inspiration to so many people (including me) and you've always got my support. I wish you & Mike all the best going forward. I already know what you did was COMPLETELY worth it...OKAY!!!!
Thank you guys for this. You guys are simply the best. Your relationship is so special and the way you look at each other is so lovely to see two people do that, regardless of their sexuality or gender! Watching you on youtube gives every gay young man, or woman, the hope that they can have what you guys have. I watch every video of yours and you're an absolute inspiration, you don't take any of your 'views' or 'subscribers' for granted or your lives. It's amazing to see how much you appreciate everything you have. I've worked with young men who won't come out to their families or friends, but just watching you can give them the step forward to even consider a future as an 'out' gay man. I know loads of people comment on your videos, which is great to see, I just want you to know that from all the way here in the UK, I so enjoy watching you guys live your lives, be such an inspiration and just lighten everybody's day. Its a real shame you guys are so far away, I know you guys would be amazing on a night out. Please never change what you're going, keep us posted and thank you again for sharing your story! P.S PK your grandmother is watching these videos too, wherever she is and know that she loves you regardless. If its anything like my family, they already know. Stay positive, stay true and stay amazing! #becauseitsworthit
This video was so powerful and heartfelt PK- words can't express how pride I am of you. I'm happy you have your family's support as well as Mike's love & partnership. I wish you the brightest future PK. I came out on Mother's Day and it was like a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. Parents were supportive for me as well. We can be the best men we can be now! *smile!"*
Hey PK Creedon I want to let you know that you were very brave to share your story. Keep doing what you are doing. It's very heartwarming to see you guys staying personal with us fans. You have no idea how much your videos help people especially myself. You help me stay positive with all the negative aspects of this world. I hope to meet you guys one day. Till then, journey on.
This vid has left me speechless. Your words meant so much, as I myself am not completely out of the closet yet, still trying to stand up strong and face each day as it comes by with hope that I will one day soon be free to live the life I've always wanted. You and Mike have made my day every time I watch your videos since I came out to myself. Some of the things mentioned in this vid has given me more hope to the happiness I hope to gain soon. Can't wait to see Mike's vid soon.
I think i just Cry the full 14 mins of the Vid because your story is just so sweet .. the crazy thing is i dont know you in realife but it feels like i know exactly how you are ... i just love the person who you be and pls go on so
Well that one will tear your heart out and make you cry like a baby! So proud of you for everything you've done, and everything you continue to do! So amazing and heart warming.
your coming out story is very inspirational....I love you guys!...mine was very much the same where I did not tell one of my grandmas and I regret that so much....I have found that most people will support you...but you got to do it when its right for you....I am so happy for you guys and keep loving each other.....mikes eyes looking at you in the video....Priceless....He loves you man!!!!.....I smile....because "it Is worth It"!!!
I think to say THANK YOU is not enough for what you did! And I hope I'm not the only one who really appreciated it and I'll be waiting for Mike's story. LOVE YOU BOTH.
Omg. I'm like crying my eyes out. To all gay people out there, in the closet or out. Being gay is not something to be ashamed of. It's part of who you are. Wear it like badge of honor. We are who we are. Don't let society hold you back. If others can't accept you and has a problem with you being gay, it's their problem not yours. Those who truly love you won't mind. Coming out as a gay teen had me losing friends that meant the world to me, but hey, I'm still alive. Better than ever and happier. PK Creedon thanks for sharing your story. Like you I came out to my best friend, a guy. We knew each other since we were four. When I told him hr just hugged me and told me that I am his best friend no matter what. Still best friends after 18 years! #Bff You have an amazing family and you are beautiful. #TeamPike
So much love to you guys from China!!! You guys are the cutest!!! I came out to my conventional chinese parents two years ago and they are very supportive as well. I hope every gay guys who are still in the closet, be brave, take your time and finally live a happy life!!!
So lucky to have been so supported. You're right, not everyone's coming out story is positive, but its a beautiful story and absolutely worth sharing. Many thanks!
Both of you are incredible guys! Every coming out stories are very emotional and it helps to so many people, that still stay in the closet by fear, to coming out. When i was in the closet this kind of vids helped me A LOT to accept myself and to coming out. Love u boys!! XOXO!!
This video turned me so emotional. Thank you so much for sharing your story and encourage us to follow the same path. It's never easy but as you said, someday you'll find that other one, the person who will love you no matter what and who always will get your back. Also I'm so happy for you, I can tell I see true love in both of you guys eyes, and that's so beautiful and tender that gives me hope and makes me wanna cry of much sweetness. Keep that love and thank you again!
You have such an inspiring story. I was really moved by the courage and the strength you had to come out to your friends and family. My name is Andrew and I've been watching your videos for quite some time and I have just recently came out to myself after being confused about my sexuality for a year. Watching this video encourages me to come out to friends and family in the future and not be scared anymore. Thank you and I love you guys ❤
The last time I watched this I was deep in the closet and terrified to be honest with myself and this video helped me feel less alone. Watching it today as an out and proud queer girl and I feel the most me I've ever been in my life. Thank you Mike and Pk
Beautiful video, as usual. But the one of the things that I adore about their videos is the genuine love between these two that just permeates through the screen. It is really encouraging. One day, I will find my HIM. Stay blessed guys.
That was such a touching story. I came out to my mom once a year for the past 4 years... yeah... i came out to her 4 times and she's still in denial..... I'm so happy you have such a supporting family on your back!
I've never seen a TH-camr open up this much, I love you guys so much you guys are by far the bravest people I've ever seen on TH-cam. I hope you guys the very best, I swear this is perfection 💗💗💗
I LOVE YOU TWO AND HAVE ONLY WATCHED 3 VIDEOS THUS FAR. I'M, OF COURSE, SEVERAL YEARS BEYOND YOU TWO BUT I NEVER COULD COME OUT DURING THE ERA OF TIME I WAS IN. IT WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY TABOO TO HAVE DONE SO. I AM SO GLAD I GOT TO SEE THE TIMES CHANGE A GREAT DEAL FROM MY VERY YOUNG DAYS AND SO MANY GOOD THINGS HAVE DEVELOPED AND HAPPENED IN NOT SO MANY YEARS EITHER. I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING YOU TWO YOUNG MEN. KEEP THE GOOD AND "POSITIVE" VIDEOS COMING GUYS.
I so love your story PK ... most of us have a struggled story ... I got one, too. Your man, Mike has the most loving and compassionate looks on his face as you told your coming out story... he’s feeling your pain and hurt ... you can see it in his face ...but kisses your shoulder and shows compassion ... that beautiful man so loves you ... don’t ever let this gorgeous man go. You chose well and so did he.🌈
Thank you for sharing! Everyone has their own story to tell and am glad you shared yours! Big hugs from TX because every time you share your story it's still emotional and difficult living through the whole thing again! Always look forward to Wednesday's!
Steak n' Shake is life! 🙏🏾 But this was so sweet and heartfelt I love it. It's always nice to TH-camrs who are #ProudtoBe who they are unapologetically.
I love love love you guys, and love the story. when I see the two of you together my heart just melts and my eyes start to leak. Your relationship is such a beautiful thing, and you were definitely meant to be together. What a shining example of true love.
PK, I have no words for what I have just watched, you are incredibly strong. I'm a 17 year old male, and all that I wish for is a family as supportive as yours (Keep in mind that I am still in the closet at this point). Having a Catholic family doesn't help at all. People tell me that my parents probably know already or that it isn't that hard. Well it crushes my heart every time I think of telling them and think of what their reaction will be. I wish it wasn't as hard to come out as who you are, and not be judged by people who simply do not understand it. It infuriates me every time that someone says its a choice to be gay. Asif it is like we want to be hated. You are amazing PK, and you are inspiring to me and thousands.
Well -- this was a pretty incredible story. I had assumed that your coming out was positive but the way you told it was incredibly moving. Fortunately, you can't see the tears falling down my face at the moment but I congratulate you on letting us see a bit behind the curtain of your normal effervescent personality.
This was literally the best coming out story I've ever watched! I watch all your videos and follow you on snapchat and you're just so awesome and such an inspiration! I hope that whenever I'm older I'll be as happy and striving to make a change like you.
PK Creedon PK, for me you are one of the most remarkable, brave and endearing young men I have ever come to know. Thank you for opening your heart to us. Have to cry when i watch that video. Thank you so much for sharing this emotional moments with us. Love you guys so much. #remembertosmile #becauseitsworhit
Thanks for sharing your story PK. You guys always show what true love looks like, and its a beautiful thing. Don't beat yourself up to bad for not sharing with your lost relative. Just know that you were loved by her. I am sorry for your lost. You guys always bring a smile to my face. Loving the pike show :) #Love #Support #Positiveoutcomesonly
Your stories are so beautiful, I am so glad you have a supportive loving family behind you. You two are so inspirational and you have the most beautiful love. I am so glad you both have opened up your lives to us and let us in on your stories. You two give me so much hope,. You gives me hope that one day my parents will take back the hurtful things they said when I came out to them. You give me hope that one day coming out wont even be a thing because it isn't a big deal to be gay/bi/straight/transgender. So thank you boys. for being that little beacon of light! I love you both
One beautiful video, I teared up watching the whole thing. Thank you for sharing. For whatever it's worth, I genuinely believe that you have the best channel that I found peace in every single video you posted. Like my day could literally be made with a click of a button. It's night time here and I'm watching this on my smartphone in bed (got a notification saying you posted a new video. lol. I literally have no life..but yea), so, it's the perfect bedtime story. Again, thank you for sharing your life and love you both. Xx.
Thank you for sharing your story. I just came out today to everyone on my Facebook. I received nothing but love and support! Watching your videos helped give me the courage to come out. Thank you.
Thank you, PK, for your story. You’ve helped many people by sharing it. Even I, as a more senior gay, have learned something. You’re a blessing to our community. ❤️
omg that was so powerful, i don't have words for it. im glad u two are a couple, if i will have to gave a award to the best couple ever that would be for you guys. God bless u and God bless your love.
I already knew you had an amazing family after watching the Christmas video, but this video really reveals the loving bond you each have. God bless you all. Thanks for sharing.
One of the greatest aspects of these coming out videos is that young gay people, who are afraid, and who live in small towns and don't know anyone else like them, get to see that there is a future and hope for a gay person. I'm 70 and grew up in a small town in the mid-west. I thought that there must be other gay people, but I didn't know any, and could not conceive of what life as a gay person could be - it was terrifying thinking that I would always have to hide and never find love to share with another. I'm so glad that gay marriage is now legal and young people have access to people and information outside their immediate family and friends. Coming out stories give the young and afraid hope and a vision of what life can be as a gay person - it might be the ray of hope that saves a life.
Thank u PK for sharing your story and your tears with us, although it was an exchange of tears cause I cried with you. yes ,as I said on Mike's coming out video, you were born to each other, you were meant to be one soul. lots of love from London
I am straight but I have a friend named Cody who is gay.His coming out story is terrible.I was the first person he ever told.Of course I was supportive.He then decided to tell his parents.His mom said."No you're not I will not let you be gay!" His dad punched him and said "If you are going to be a disgusting minority then get out and never come back." I will never forget 2:00 am in the pouring rain on my front porch sat my best friend with tears rolling down his face with a black eye and busted lip.My parents knew before his and he lives with us.His parents signed the papers giving my parents custody of him.His parents told mine that if they accepted him than they were going to hell.My mom looked at him and said "I'll see you there." Cody is now very happy and has an amazing boyfriend.Thank you for sharing yours it gives hope for a lot of people.Keep being the adorable couple you are! Xx
+Allison Jones Bless your family dear.
+John Carlo Pormento We just did what was right and I don't and never will regret it.
Allison Jones I just hope I will meet more people like you. My life is just pathetic. I have a boyfriend and we are living together. And non of my friends or family knew that im gay. They all thought that I am a womanizer and I dont have a serious girlfriend. But I am still happy because my boyfriend's family is very supportive and accepting. I almost cried when my bf's dad called me "son" one day. It means a lot to me. You probably don't care about my story but I just need to get this out in my chest. Have a great morning . :)
+John Carlo Pormento I love to hear people's stories! I'm happy for you and your boyfriend! I'm glad that your boyfriends family is supportive.I wish you two the absolute best in your relationship.
+John Carlo Pormento hey you i was juste reading the comments and found yours and I don't know if this is gonna make you happy but just wanted to say "you're not alone, and you're just perfect the way you're" sending you love and support from a Moroccan Gay .
You know true love exists when you see the way mike looks at pk❤️
PK Creedon I simply love the way Mike just looks at PK telling the story. Not intervening. Just looking. Guarding him with all his soul and all his love. Being his guardian angel as he opens up about his experience. That's true love. Those are the two souls that were meant to meet in this world and complete each others heart. PK. You are one lucky soul. I hope you'll never have to leave this angel of yours. Because he is love impersonated for your heart.
Tebe bonito con le telo corto
I'm going to take a totally different observation to this video because I am sure everyone will say it better than I ever could so with that said; the absolute love I see in Mike's eyes every time he looks at PK is just mind blowing! Not only this video but every video! You can fake a lot for the camera and take it from someone who knows this from working behind the camera but the one thing you can't fake is the eyes. The eyes tell it all, all the time.
PK, you are one lucky guy and I am sure Mike would say he is the lucky one because he simply adores you. It is in his eyes!
Chandler Verastro Honestly, Chandler, I think no one could have said it better. Well done! :)
Chandler Verastro Very poetic and very very true. Nice Catch ;)
Thanks. I could not have said it if it were not true but Mike is the one that really deserves the thanks because we don't find too many people in the world that love someone so unabashedly. It sort of restores my faith in people. All people.
Chandler Verastro Amen, brother!
Chandler Verastro seeing Mike and people like you restores my faith in life and its people. :)
I REFUSE to understand how can anyone dislike this vid, given its message and how important the issue is to thousands of people all around the world!
A truly inspiring, emotional, and uplifting story.....You and Mike are such an inspiration for the LGBT people and it does mean a world to me and I'm sure to others too.
Jan Nowak Thank you Jan. That means so much to us. Your love and support goes such a long way and never stop being you.
Jan Nowak -- Re: 'dislikes': These are unhappy souls whose only perceived power is negativity. They grow into adults, incapable of healthy relationships, still living in their mom's basement.
Jan Nowak PK said that sharing your story can inspire other people to share theirs… And I thought, really, is that the only reason why they are posting this video? How about a coming out story makes for good video content for their channel? Well, by the end of the video I reproached myself and was convinced that it was deeper than just sheer entertainment. The video is indeed beautiful and inspiring.
Having said that, I hope that one day people will no longer have to come out, but simply be. I find it awkward anyway that whole I-have-something-to-tell-you moment. Why can’t people just start living a gay life nonchalantly when they are ready to be open? If someone asks a guy if he has a girlfriend, why can’t he say “I don’t like girls”. Who are you going out with? “My boyfriend”. I think that would wipe out the awkwardness when you’re ready to be you - and also put a claim to a right heterosexual people have always taken for granted.
+Jan Nowak Jan, you are such a beautiful, kind, loving, inspiring soul!!! So sweet and kind!!
+Cade Buchanan and I don't get your ignorance don't you have any productive stuff to do than to put hate comments, I'm not saying that you are homophobic or anything believe me you left real clear but man if they want to put an into to their video well let them. You know what I mean for them I bet it is like a tradition or some thing
Never think that your story doesn't matter. By sharing, you give courage to others who are afraid, strength to those who feel powerless, and love to those who find themselves without it. You bring beauty to the world through your thoughts, actions, and love. Thank you.
I think, PK, that *every* coming out story is beneficial to someone somewhere, struggling to be who they are. The bad ones prepare us; the good ones, like yours, shine a ray of hope. Perhaps one day, coming out will be one of those horrific things relegated to the past. Two moments in this moved me deeply: the first, at 5:39, when your friend in Ireland said that "you are a beautiful soul," I nodded and whispered, "Yes, he is." Then, when Sean, at 8:04, says, "I love you no matter what," it reaffirmed to me how wonderful your beautiful family is. And the way Mike looks at you, touches you, supports you throughout this . . . portrays the epitome of love. If I did not love you two already, this would set it in concrete. Thank you for sharing this with us.
boinerz Those are two of my favorite moments too! Thanks for the love and kind words as always. I hope this inspires people wherever they are in their own journey.
boinerz Well said!!
No matter how understanding and supportive people in your life are, it's always hard. Every story is important. Thank you for sharing yours.
I generally don't like watching coming out videos but I have to say that this is one of the most beautiful and important videos I have ever seen on TH-cam... I think. It's so representative of your channel and what the two of you portray every week when you get behind that camera. You lead full, wonderful, enchanted lives and you share them with us. Just read these comments, PK and Mike. Some are inspired to come out like you. Some are crying. Some are entranced by Mike's loving gaze (beard=woof btw, you keep rocking that). Without even trying you give thousands of people HOPE for a loving, supportive family. For a story that some day, not too far now, we can be happy with. For love, for a partner in all things that will make us finally feel like we have found our perfect place in this world. And lastly you give us hope that there are beautiful souls in this world. I'm not a religious person at all but you have a beautiful soul, PK, your friend Piper was right (one of the most emotional parts of this video).
So thank you, Pike. For all that you do, and all that you don't know you do. I look forward to Mike's story. Please, just keep broadcasting your lovely selves because, to quote that famous scene from Prayers for Bobby, a child is listening. And furthermore we're all listening, and we have your backs, and we know you have ours.
All the love I can send through the screen. 8-)
Every coming out story, whether positive or negative, is SO important and has the potential to help someone else take that vital step. Thank you for sharing yours with us.
The amount of silent support and love that Mike is giving you throughout this video is so overwhelming... I have so many tears streaming down my face right now, that was beautiful. Love you both
The most incredible part of the story in my opinion is your description of the internal feeling of coming out starting at 3:44. I could not agree more that it is such a vulnerable moment and that anything can happen. I was lucky enough to have the incredible similar to you. A heart warming story. You are an amazing individual PK, and you too Mike. AND y'all are a fantastic duo. I'm so glad i stumbled across one of your videos 2 weeks ago and have binged through them all. lol. I feel like we're friends now =). #AlwaysSmiling #AlwaysWorthIt
Your story about your grandmother really hits close to home. When my grandmother passed away suddenly, the thought running through my mind over and over again was, "Why didn't I tell her?" The regret of not having taken the chance to tell someone so important in my life about a truth so essential to me was tearing me apart. At that time, I wasn't out to anyone in my family, but in a way my grandmother's passing catalyzed my resolve to come out to the people in my life who mattered; it made me realize that life is brief, and our time with our loved ones is too precious to wait. Even though I never had the chance to tell my grandmother who I really was, I try to make it up to her every day by living openly, and never taking those around me for granted. I think it's turned out for the better. Thanks for sharing.
You guys are such an inspiration!!! I grew up in the 60s & 70s when being gay was NOT accepted. There was SO MUCH hate and anger for gay people during that time! I was forced into the closet in order to be "accepted" and make my way up the career ladder at work. I made some decisions that I regret to this day in order to be accepted in society. You guys are SO lucky to be living in an era when being gay is now very accepted. I hope that someday soon that I can myself get the courage to change my life, come out and live the life of happiness that I really want and deserve! In the mean time, I watch your videos and am happy for you two and so many others that are so happy!
I never got to tell my Gran but I believe that she knew. Grans know much more than they let on. My last convo with my gran she said ' I don't understand why there is such an issue with people loving people. Who cares if man and woman, woman and woman or man and man love each other. They should all be allowed to marry. You should be loved for who you are not what you are'.
Thanks for this video... I have binge watched nearly all of your videos in the last 3 days 🙈 you guys are awesome! Much love from Ireland x
Every time I watch videos like this, I get pumped up thinking "yes now I can go tell my parents", then all of a sudden my heart is going so fast, my mouth is dry, I'm shaking etc. I will do it one day but that feeling is so powerful.
SoloTopGuy Hecker support for u :)))
Let do it by one day my friend
I strongly believe that your parent will approval and stand by you because they love you so much
SoloTopGuy Hecker Take your time. But, YOU GOT THIS!
Albert Adolf
One you know your own circumstances. Wait until you feel comfortable and feel that the time is right; then, you can come out and feel good about it. Also, make sure you do it in an environment that is safe. Again, only you know your own situation. If you can come out, it will be a huge relief for you, and it will take a huge burden off of you.
***** I would leave the second sentence out - sounds a bit like an alligation to me. ;) So either only the first sentence or with an additional nice one.
***** Wow, I didn't know his parents are like that. Of course, usually I say "fuck that all", too. But I wouldn't use such a sentence when I don't know how my parents are going to react.
This is such a strong and emotional story. I hope that it can help at least 1 person. Back when I came out about 20 years ago, there wasn't really anything for support and encouragement. All of my family was supportive, except for my father. I told him that right now I needed the love and support of those around me. He said he couldn't give that to me because he couldn't understand my lifestyle. We didn't speak for the next 9 years. We have since opened up with each other and I have even moved closer to him now and I spent this past Father's Day with him. My point is, yes coming out is scary and reactions are unpredictable, but in order to be completely happy it's worth the risk.
PK and Mike will forever be one of the GREATEST couples on the planet because not only did they make it through the struggle, but even though they don't say it 24/7, you can see how much they genuinely love and care for each other through the way they look at each other and the small absent-minded touches and gestures toward each other. That kind of stuff can't be faked for the camera.
5 days ago I told my best friend for the first time. You were right: it was the scariest moment ever. In fact, I had to text her 'I'm gay' because I couldn't pull my shit together to say it to her on the phone. and she responded "you know I don't care and I'm fully supportive" and I just started bawling my eyes out because it felt so good to know I have a true friend who doesn't care about who I like. Your story inspired me so much and I am truly proud to be considered one of your subscribers! Thank you for doing what you do!
Congratulation! That's a good news :D
Having friend who truly accept you is indeed feels great
***** aw shot. That was not a pleasant experience i guess. Be strong friend!
:D
***** aw I'm sorry :/ i promise it will get better :)
Powerful content here. Raw, emotionally honest, mega courageous. I was tearing up because I was moved by your story and ability to be vulnerability. Mike demonstrates how to be a loving rock, allowing the feelings to come up pass through, being there to love and soothe you. And you can clearly see Mike begins to tear up because he sees PK in pain. I feel like in this moment you can really see their deep love for each other and their hearts beating as one. I think what separates your vlogs from other gay couples is a conscious sense of wanting to use this platform to educate and to set an example of the profound power of love to elevate the human experience. I kept thinking of all the lives that get saved watching this video.
I couldn't have said it better. You're story is really touching PK. When I came out to my mom I couldn't get the words out and when I finally did, she said the same exact thing to me that your mom said to you "I'll love you no matter what". You truly are an amazing, sweet and kind person. Thanks for sharing your story. :D
Honest. Kind. And Smart. Two of the nicest guys who deserve each other.
My best friend in middle school came out to me. It was definitely hard for him to do so young and even though I didn't fully understand, I did understand what being a friend meant. I did what I could to make him laugh and make him truly understand how okay I was with it and how okay it is to be yourself.
This video made me emotional. You are amazing. Cannot wait to hear Mikes.
Katlin Nicole You're a good friend.
U can tell how much Mike loves PK Creedon just way watching the way he looks at him you can see the love in his eyes😘💜... Luv u both
Hi, PK & Mike :) I just got into your videos because of Matthew Schueller and I'm absolutely in love with you two. To me, both your Coming Out stories were so incredibly important (being closeted myself) and they inspired me so much! I definitely feel so much closer to actually coming out to everyone. I also find the two of you to be genuine, kind-hearted and amazing people. I especially loved how close you are to your family, PK. To me, that was the best - you guys are like a well-oiled machine, and I'm not gonna lie, I was lowkey jealous haha. I only wish my family was that well-bound.
All in all, I think it really is worth it to smile :) I LOVE YA'LL
PK, telling what your sister said made me a little misty-eyed, but when you started talking about not having the chance to tell your grandma I'll admit, I totally lost it. I don't think I've ever cried so much at a coming out video. And I'm sure I've seen nearly a hundred. I've been waiting for these videos from you guys for a while, and I'm so happy you finally decided to share this part of your life with us. You and Mike make me smile on a daily basis. We love you guys.
I cried so much watching this
Pk you really touched me with regret part. Thanks for sharing that part of your life I appreciate it. I'm 22 and my dad pass away 3 years ago and I came out to my family on my 21 st birthday. I been through that battle of regret and it still pains me to this day that my I didnt give my dad the benefit of the doubt and I feel like he had a right to know,but what you said made me feel a bit better and know hes looking down proud. Again thank you for sharing.
Sincerely you and Mike's fan ,
- Ramsey
I'm not gonna lie! I so cried watching this. Thank you for your story and your sincerity. To hear a story is one thing, but to see a gay person put himself out there for the world to see and tell it with such honesty is such a gift. Much respect. Just THANK YOU!
The way Mike looks at PK... I'm done !!
I'm a grandmother of 8 and I can honestly say that I would love them all no matter what their sexuality may be. I see the love between you and Mike and I'm so happy for you both! 👬❤❤
You're an amazing grandma 😍😍
I currently attend the University of Tampa. Since starting my second year here I finally felt comfortable enough to come out. I've been nothing but supported here on campus by so many people and could not imagine a better place to be myself. It's good to know that you had such a positive and affirming coming out story when you went here as well. Thank you for sharing your story and giving me an extra boost that I needed to feel comfortable about myself, I really needed that. It's so hard to put my faith in people sharing such a private part of my life, and I don't want to regret keeping that part of me concealed. I'm still partially hiding in the closet, clinging to some kind of fear I have of rejection, and watching your video may just be the push I need to go out and be who I am. Thank you...
I understand your sorrow Patrick... My grandma died from cancer a few days ago and I didn't even have the chance (courage actually) to be fully honest with her, anyway I want to believe that she's in better hands from now on and she supports me even though I can't see her, thank you for encouraging us to be as we really are : )
Gay, Straight, Bi, Trans love is love and everyone should accept you for who you are. This video was pretty uplifting, for those who are gay and struggling with coming out or for those who are straight who won't know what it's like to be gay. Awesome video guys
Thank you for sharing! I am sitting here in tears watching the video! Very encouraging! Do not hold in the regret of not telling your grandmother. It is better to have left things as they were then to have opened an uncertain door, considering her cancer diagnosis. Things happen for a reason and your relationship with and memories of her were more important than telling her you are gay. I know it is a bit philosophical and you are dealing with emotions, but it does help to look at things that way sometimes. Love you guys!
Why would you make me cry PK? Wonderful coming out. We love you too. Don't stop believing in others and yes you made cry, but it was a good cry. Enjoy your weekend full of marriage equality updates.
PK - I haven't cried in a long time, but while watching this video I cried like I hadn't before. Your story brought to the surface memories of my own grandmother who I lived with during a period of my adult life. We were so close, like best friends, yet I never did tell her that I am gay. She passed over 7 yrs ago without me ever sharing that truth with her. I am much older than you and Mike. My parents are in their 80s. This year, I decided I could not make that mistake with my parents. I finally gathered enough courage a few months back to come out to them. I am happy to say, they were accepting without reservation. My Dad said that his one wish was that I would find a man who will love me as much as he loves my Mother. PK - Mike looks at you the same way that my Dad looks at my Mom - they have been married over 60 years. To those out there who are struggling to come out, it is never too late to claim and own your gift of being gay, to hold your head high and be proud of who you are and what you can become. My hope for you is that unlike me, try to not to let so much of life's time and potential slip by before claiming and owning your true and authentic self. Life is too short to deny your true self. I remain hopeful that I too can find someone who will look at me as my Dad looks at my Mom and as Mike looks at you. Thanks go out to you and Mike for the example you continue to set for others and as I commented previously about the picture taken of you both kissing among the “religious” pride protesters, I say again - Preach Pike Preach. Much love and support sent to you and Mike. Now that I have cried, I'm gonna continue to smile...because they already know.
Rob Sutherland Ohhhh man, now U got me crying....wonderful story...hits a homerun here only because I was the same way with my NANA....but as of to day, I still have not come out to anyone. I am Bi, married with kids, grandkids.....and Just Wished.....by living in todays soceity, and as of today, Equal Marriage for EVERYONE was Passed in our USofA.......My life and the path I have gone down in my life, would BE SO DIFFERENT!!! Hope you have a wonderful Rest of your life....Hugs and best wishes my new friend. JR...
Thank you for sharing your story with us. I agree, it's important to share our stories in the hopes to open others eyes, as well as inspire others who may be struggling. I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother passing, and I'm sure that she loves you regardless. It sounds like she raised a great parent, and grandchild. Much love your way.
What a gift you have given your parents and the rest of us . A video blog to cherish !
How can people dislike this video. The video was an opportunity for pk to share his coming out video and he was brave enough to share his coming out video.
Stay strong pk
What a powerful and moving story i'm crying so much right now I wish everyone's coming out story was as beautiful as yours and no one ever experiences judgement and shame for being gay or whatever label they are struggling with. Maybe someday. Definitely someday. I know your grandma is looking down from heaven smiling and extremely proud of what you've become and i'm sure even if you weren't able to tell her she understood and she felt she could leave you here on earth with a happy home who supports you and maybe for her that's what matters. And she can leave peacefully knowing your family's got your back no matter what.
That was very emotional and so beautiful. Mike was like a rock at your side filled with love in in his eyes. You two are wonderful together. Then (from snapchats) he gave you a foot massage. More Reese's for Mike! Love you PK. Thank you for bringing rainbows into the world.
I've been waiting for these. PK, anyone who even just watched your videos can see how passionate you are about things you love. Your work, your family, and Mike. It's respectable, and you can also see that you're an amazing son, brother, boyfriend, and just an amazing man in general. Mike is so lucky to have found you. I wanna be your best friend! I'm also glad to know that you have this whole TH-cam community that supports and loves you. I know it sounds weird, but when you let us into your lives, it feels like we know you. Thank you for sharing this with us. And know that we would have all been at Pride celebrating with you. ❤️❤️❤️
you probably won't see this but I am so glad that you guys came out. It doesn't matter what other people say because you are you and nobody can change you. It is your life express how you feel to the world. I think that you guys inspire a bunch of people to come out of the closet. You are so lucky to have Mike,Friends, and family to support you guys. LOVE YOU GUYS :*
must say i love PK's honesty so much. he just feels so right
What an inspiring video. How in the world can anyone dislike this? I had tears literally wobbling in my eyes when I heard this. You two are so cute and perfect for each other. Also you two seem super sweet and kind. Hugs from Washington state.
The only coming out story, out of the hundreds that I have seen, that made me cry.
All I can say is thank you. Thank you for helping me find myself.
All my life, even when I was four, my family knew. But I live in the pacific northwest, and my family took it better than anything I could've imagined. I remember when I told my twin sister, I was in her room and I told her and she started to cry. And I felt my heart slowly melt away, but like your sister she said, "I'm sorry that you have to deal with those assholes that live here." And we just hugged and then my heart came back into shape.
Then I told my brother and he knew too. Then my mom and she just said, with her motherly voice, "I know sweetie. I'm just happy you told me." Then came hours of tears and love and I had never felt more safe. Then the hardest one, my dad.
My dad grew up in the south so that made me especially scared. Then when I told him, at T.G.I. Friday's in a San Jose Airport, he looked me in the eye and said, "Nothing will ever change my love for you son." And then I heart became an unbreakable and safe place for all the love that my family gave me.
As I got older, other family found out and no one cared. They just saw me as their nephew, grandson, cousin or just plain family. Though my grandma never got that change.
She had died from lung cancer one year before I was ready. That is my greatest regret. I never got the chance to let her know the true me. And then again, when my grandpa remarried and I had lost another grandmother to lung cancer.
Though my story is not filled with sadness and separation, it does not mean it was easy. Telling someone else about who you are, after finding out for own, has been the hardest thing for me to do, even harder than high school.
But I hope that PK's story inspires those who do not want to waste another minute hiding. PK has inspired me to show this world what I've got and how to make the most of it.
Even though your closest may have good clothes, what is the point of having them if you can't show them off?
Thank you again Patrick. Truly.
Brilliant thought about clothes in the closet. Thanks.
this is by far one of the most touchy videos I have ever seen and I really want to thank you for sharing it with us, I know it was difficult but even those difficult moments help others with their own struggles when you share something this personal, I know you don't know me but I am so fortunate to have met you even if is through your awesome videos, they really help me and show me that there is still hope for the rest of us who came out really late in our lives all because of fear, I only wish I had known you before and I'm sure things would have been easier. Keep loving each other and never let go of the beautiful love you have for each other which is really hard to come by these days, love you both a lot.
I can somewhat relate to your story and/or journey as you called it. My family wasn't as accepting (glad yours was!) and I remember feeling EXACTLY (and I do mean EXACTLY) how you felt... The feeling of uncertainty, worrying about reactions from people. All of that is to be expected & unfortunately you've just gotta roll with it. I can especially relate to the story of the grandmother you mentioned that you didn't get a chance to tell (by the way I'm sorry to hear how she died.) I like you wish I would've told my paternal grandmother before she died but again like you I never got the chance to so I totally understand how you feel. Not to overshadow your story but I myself am disabled so you can imagine how that was for me on top of not only that but also being black (and for the PC folks African-American). Anyway, I say all this to simply say keep doin' your thing man you're an inspiration to so many people (including me) and you've always got my support. I wish you & Mike all the best going forward. I already know what you did was COMPLETELY worth it...OKAY!!!!
The feels!! Omg. Probably the best coming out story I've ever heard. Super sweet. Touched my heart. I'm happy for you PK and you too Mike.
Thank you guys for this. You guys are simply the best. Your relationship is so special and the way you look at each other is so lovely to see two people do that, regardless of their sexuality or gender! Watching you on youtube gives every gay young man, or woman, the hope that they can have what you guys have. I watch every video of yours and you're an absolute inspiration, you don't take any of your 'views' or 'subscribers' for granted or your lives. It's amazing to see how much you appreciate everything you have. I've worked with young men who won't come out to their families or friends, but just watching you can give them the step forward to even consider a future as an 'out' gay man. I know loads of people comment on your videos, which is great to see, I just want you to know that from all the way here in the UK, I so enjoy watching you guys live your lives, be such an inspiration and just lighten everybody's day. Its a real shame you guys are so far away, I know you guys would be amazing on a night out. Please never change what you're going, keep us posted and thank you again for sharing your story! P.S PK your grandmother is watching these videos too, wherever she is and know that she loves you regardless. If its anything like my family, they already know. Stay positive, stay true and stay amazing! #becauseitsworthit
This video was so powerful and heartfelt PK- words can't express how pride I am of you. I'm happy you have your family's support as well as Mike's love & partnership. I wish you the brightest future PK. I came out on Mother's Day and it was like a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. Parents were supportive for me as well. We can be the best men we can be now! *smile!"*
Hey PK Creedon I want to let you know that you were very brave to share your story. Keep doing what you are doing. It's very heartwarming to see you guys staying personal with us fans. You have no idea how much your videos help people especially myself. You help me stay positive with all the negative aspects of this world. I hope to meet you guys one day. Till then, journey on.
This vid has left me speechless. Your words meant so much, as I myself am not completely out of the closet yet, still trying to stand up strong and face each day as it comes by with hope that I will one day soon be free to live the life I've always wanted. You and Mike have made my day every time I watch your videos since I came out to myself. Some of the things mentioned in this vid has given me more hope to the happiness I hope to gain soon. Can't wait to see Mike's vid soon.
I think i just Cry the full 14 mins of the Vid because your story is just so sweet .. the crazy thing is i dont know you in realife but it feels like i know exactly how you are ... i just love the person who you be and pls go on so
Well that one will tear your heart out and make you cry like a baby! So proud of you for everything you've done, and everything you continue to do! So amazing and heart warming.
your coming out story is very inspirational....I love you guys!...mine was very much the same where I did not tell one of my grandmas and I regret that so much....I have found that most people will support you...but you got to do it when its right for you....I am so happy for you guys and keep loving each other.....mikes eyes looking at you in the video....Priceless....He loves you man!!!!.....I smile....because "it Is worth It"!!!
Thank you PK for sharing such a personal heartfelt story. Brought tears to my eyes. Keep inspiring.
PK you have a heart of gold! You two should be voted the POWER COUPLE OF THE MILLENIUM
I think to say THANK YOU is not enough for what you did! And I hope I'm not the only one who really appreciated it and I'll be waiting for Mike's story. LOVE YOU BOTH.
This is the fourth or fifth time I've watched this and I tear up every time. Thank you for sharing.
Omg. I'm like crying my eyes out.
To all gay people out there, in the closet or out. Being gay is not something to be ashamed of. It's part of who you are. Wear it like badge of honor. We are who we are. Don't let society hold you back. If others can't accept you and has a problem with you being gay, it's their problem not yours. Those who truly love you won't mind.
Coming out as a gay teen had me losing friends that meant the world to me, but hey, I'm still alive. Better than ever and happier.
PK Creedon thanks for sharing your story. Like you I came out to my best friend, a guy. We knew each other since we were four. When I told him hr just hugged me and told me that I am his best friend no matter what. Still best friends after 18 years! #Bff You have an amazing family and you are beautiful. #TeamPike
Now I am crying..... The world is very very very big. Just be who you are, and you will be loved by just being yourself.
So much love to you guys from China!!! You guys are the cutest!!! I came out to my conventional chinese parents two years ago and they are very supportive as well. I hope every gay guys who are still in the closet, be brave, take your time and finally live a happy life!!!
You are so lucky. I am still afraid to tell my parents 😭😭😭
I LOVE YOU PK! YOU DONT DESERVE TO CRY. WE'RE ALL SO PROUD OF YOU. STAY HAPPY WITH MIKE AND YOUR FAMILY!! I SUPPORT YOU THE WHOLE WAY!!!
So lucky to have been so supported. You're right, not everyone's coming out story is positive, but its a beautiful story and absolutely worth sharing. Many thanks!
Both of you are incredible guys! Every coming out stories are very emotional and it helps to so many people, that still stay in the closet by fear, to coming out. When i was in the closet this kind of vids helped me A LOT to accept myself and to coming out. Love u boys!! XOXO!!
This video turned me so emotional. Thank you so much for sharing your story and encourage us to follow the same path. It's never easy but as you said, someday you'll find that other one, the person who will love you no matter what and who always will get your back. Also I'm so happy for you, I can tell I see true love in both of you guys eyes, and that's so beautiful and tender that gives me hope and makes me wanna cry of much sweetness. Keep that love and thank you again!
You have such an inspiring story. I was really moved by the courage and the strength you had to come out to your friends and family. My name is Andrew and I've been watching your videos for quite some time and I have just recently came out to myself after being confused about my sexuality for a year. Watching this video encourages me to come out to friends and family in the future and not be scared anymore. Thank you and I love you guys ❤
Andrew Music hang on my friend :))) live for yourself not other people. :)))
Adore you too
Tien Nguyen Thank you so much for your support :))
Thanks PK. That was so heart felts story. Your grandmother knows even if you was scares to tell her she knows.
The last time I watched this I was deep in the closet and terrified to be honest with myself and this video helped me feel less alone. Watching it today as an out and proud queer girl and I feel the most me I've ever been in my life. Thank you Mike and Pk
Beautiful video, as usual. But the one of the things that I adore about their videos is the genuine love between these two that just permeates through the screen. It is really encouraging. One day, I will find my HIM. Stay blessed guys.
That was such a touching story. I came out to my mom once a year for the past 4 years... yeah... i came out to her 4 times and she's still in denial..... I'm so happy you have such a supporting family on your back!
I love seeing this serious, grounded side of you PK...as well as your playful, silly side! Lovely!
You two are so amazing. I love your authentic story telling and your display of true love for each other. Thank you for sharing your experience!
I've never seen a TH-camr open up this much, I love you guys so much you guys are by far the bravest people I've ever seen on TH-cam. I hope you guys the very best, I swear this is perfection 💗💗💗
I LOVE YOU TWO AND HAVE ONLY WATCHED 3 VIDEOS THUS FAR. I'M, OF COURSE, SEVERAL YEARS BEYOND YOU TWO BUT I NEVER COULD COME OUT DURING THE ERA OF TIME I WAS IN. IT WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY TABOO TO HAVE DONE SO. I AM SO GLAD I GOT TO SEE THE TIMES CHANGE A GREAT DEAL FROM MY VERY YOUNG DAYS AND SO MANY GOOD THINGS HAVE DEVELOPED AND HAPPENED IN NOT SO MANY YEARS EITHER. I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING YOU TWO YOUNG MEN. KEEP THE GOOD AND "POSITIVE" VIDEOS COMING GUYS.
I so love your story PK ... most of us have a struggled story ... I got one, too. Your man, Mike has the most loving and compassionate looks on his face as you told your coming out story... he’s feeling your pain and hurt ... you can see it in his face ...but kisses your shoulder and shows compassion ... that beautiful man so loves you ... don’t ever let this gorgeous man go. You chose well and so did he.🌈
Thank you for sharing! Everyone has their own story to tell and am glad you shared yours! Big hugs from TX because every time you share your story it's still emotional and difficult living through the whole thing again! Always look forward to Wednesday's!
Steak n' Shake is life! 🙏🏾 But this was so sweet and heartfelt I love it. It's always nice to TH-camrs who are #ProudtoBe who they are unapologetically.
This is just awesome PK... thanks for sharing and being so open. I can't wait to here Mike's story also... Keep posting videos!!!
I love love love you guys, and love the story. when I see the two of you together my heart just melts and my eyes start to leak. Your relationship is such a beautiful thing, and you were definitely meant to be together. What a shining example of true love.
PK, I have no words for what I have just watched, you are incredibly strong. I'm a 17 year old male, and all that I wish for is a family as supportive as yours (Keep in mind that I am still in the closet at this point). Having a Catholic family doesn't help at all. People tell me that my parents probably know already or that it isn't that hard. Well it crushes my heart every time I think of telling them and think of what their reaction will be. I wish it wasn't as hard to come out as who you are, and not be judged by people who simply do not understand it. It infuriates me every time that someone says its a choice to be gay. Asif it is like we want to be hated. You are amazing PK, and you are inspiring to me and thousands.
Well -- this was a pretty incredible story. I had assumed that your coming out was positive but the way you told it was incredibly moving. Fortunately, you can't see the tears falling down my face at the moment but I congratulate you on letting us see a bit behind the curtain of your normal effervescent personality.
You guys are such a positive light and I genuinely appreciate your videos.
This was literally the best coming out story I've ever watched! I watch all your videos and follow you on snapchat and you're just so awesome and such an inspiration! I hope that whenever I'm older I'll be as happy and striving to make a change like you.
PK Creedon PK, for me you are one of the most remarkable, brave and endearing young men I have ever come to know. Thank you for opening your heart to us. Have to cry when i watch that video. Thank you so much for sharing this emotional moments with us. Love you guys so much. #remembertosmile #becauseitsworhit
I was crying by the end along with you. You are an amazing person and have an equally amazing family. Your story is very powerful.
Thanks for sharing your story PK. You guys always show what true love looks like, and its a beautiful thing. Don't beat yourself up to bad for not sharing with your lost relative. Just know that you were loved by her. I am sorry for your lost. You guys always bring a smile to my face. Loving the pike show :)

PK you made me cry! Thank you so much for sharing and I'm in the midst of this struggle at the moment so this video meant so much to me.
Your stories are so beautiful, I am so glad you have a supportive loving family behind you. You two are so inspirational and you have the most beautiful love. I am so glad you both have opened up your lives to us and let us in on your stories.
You two give me so much hope,. You gives me hope that one day my parents will take back the hurtful things they said when I came out to them. You give me hope that one day coming out wont even be a thing because it isn't a big deal to be gay/bi/straight/transgender.
So thank you boys. for being that little beacon of light! I love you both
One beautiful video, I teared up watching the whole thing. Thank you for sharing. For whatever it's worth, I genuinely believe that you have the best channel that I found peace in every single video you posted. Like my day could literally be made with a click of a button. It's night time here and I'm watching this on my smartphone in bed (got a notification saying you posted a new video. lol. I literally have no life..but yea), so, it's the perfect bedtime story. Again, thank you for sharing your life and love you both. Xx.
Thank you for sharing your story. I just came out today to everyone on my Facebook. I received nothing but love and support! Watching your videos helped give me the courage to come out. Thank you.
You made me cry! You deserve all the happiness in the world! I love you PK!
Thank you, PK, for your story. You’ve helped many people by sharing it. Even I, as a more senior gay, have learned something. You’re a blessing to our community. ❤️
Thanks for the video, I'm sure it'll help others and I'm glad you found someone like Mike who loves you back as much as you love him
omg that was so powerful, i don't have words for it. im glad u two are a couple, if i will have to gave a award to the best couple ever that would be for you guys. God bless u and God bless your love.
I already knew you had an amazing family after watching the Christmas video, but this video really reveals the loving bond you each have. God bless you all. Thanks for sharing.
One of the greatest aspects of these coming out videos is that young gay people, who are afraid, and who live in small towns and don't know anyone else like them, get to see that there is a future and hope for a gay person. I'm 70 and grew up in a small town in the mid-west. I thought that there must be other gay people, but I didn't know any, and could not conceive of what life as a gay person could be - it was terrifying thinking that I would always have to hide and never find love to share with another. I'm so glad that gay marriage is now legal and young people have access to people and information outside their immediate family and friends. Coming out stories give the young and afraid hope and a vision of what life can be as a gay person - it might be the ray of hope that saves a life.
Thank u PK for sharing your story and your tears with us, although it was an exchange of tears cause I cried with you.
yes ,as I said on Mike's coming out video, you were born to each other, you were meant to be one soul. lots of love from London
