You know true love exists when you see the way mike looks at pk❤️
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. :)
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
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!

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.
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!!
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
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
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.
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.
The way Mike looks at PK... I'm done !!
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
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...
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
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
Honest. Kind. And Smart. Two of the nicest guys who deserve each other.
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
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.
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!
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. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing. I went to a Christian College and needed to hide being Gay to get by. Once I graduated I gradually came out to those I met outside the Church. My Mom, Dad and sister accepted me unconditionally. Once I came out out relationship grew in to a beautiful thing. My Mom and Dad have passed but they have met my boyfriend (now my hubby) and loved him as a son. His parents are the best in-laws ever. I also have regrets not telling my Nan before she passed but my Dad told me she knew and loved me anyway. You two are an amazing couple to watch. You laugh is infectious... you two remind me of us.... all the best to you both!
Dear PK and Mike...
I personally wanna say thank you for sharing this, I'm crying a lot bcoz ur story lil bit same with me but unfortunately my family doesn't accept me as I expected. But that's okay bcoz like u said I'm not alone... I already found my mate and someone like u that always giving such a big support and motivation for me.
Thank you guys, I never regreted for coming out bcoz I'm proud of who I am and we deserve to be happy as who we are...
This is the most touching coming out story that I ever watched, God bless you guys and I wish both of you have a very happiness life.
#teampike #remembertosmile
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.
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!"*
must say i love PK's honesty so much. he just feels so right
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.
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.
This is the fourth or fifth time I've watched this and I tear up every time. Thank you for sharing.
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!!!
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 😭😭😭
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 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-)
It's almost 2:30 in the morning where I am. And I've been watching your videos all night since Jaclyn showed you guys in her snapchat. I'm balling my eyes from your story. You have such a beautiful soul! The love you both show is unimaginable. I love you both so much lol. You've made me laugh and cry. It's amazing. Keep showing people it's okay to be themselves! So happy to be a sub ☺️ I can't wait to see what this journey brings for you guys 💙
What's Jaclyn's snapchat?
What a beautiful comment
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.
"We already know" that you two are AWESOME! So inspirational! I didn't officially come out to some of my family until We invited them to our wedding last Sept! LOL We HAD lived together for33 years though (since the night we met), so it wasn't a surprise to anyone. Only one brother-in-law refused to come and we have had no negative reactions (at least to our faces). For someone who grew up in the 50s and 60s, THAT seems surprising. I never thought I would live to see the day, and at 64, I easily might not have. Now, I love introducing , my HUSBAND! YAY for change! :)Thanks for brightening the world. Now I need another box of Kleenex. :)
Hey PK, I go to Lincoln Way North and I just want to let you know you're a legend here and I really think you need to come back before the school closes (if you didn't know, Lincoln way north is closing after this year) Phoenix Forever! You're inspirational and we want you here before it goes down forever.
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.
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.
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 :))
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
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 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.
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
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!
Thank you for being so brave and so generous to share your stories with us, PK!
Bravo!! Love!!
And always remember to smile, cuz it's worth it!!
Hey PK, your coming out story is really inspiring! Hearing your story made me cry a bit.
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
How awesome is that you receive the support of your entire family!!! Why not everyone is like that? I'm already out, everyone knows, specially for my Facebook that it shows up that in Theatron(the biggest gay bar in Latin America).
.. Butbim still fighting
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.
I'm crying omg don't change for the person pk.
I love you for canada ❤️
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.
Wow, heartwarming story! You actually made me cry watching this video!
Thank you Patrick and Mike for sharing such a personal and private emotion with us!
Love from Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Your story is amazing!! Have to say I cried almost the whole time!! You and Mike are incredible together!!
I lost it in this video when I saw the tears forming in PK's eyes I burst into tears and I'm still trying to figure out who I am I believe that I am bisexual but all of my friends think it's a joke and I don't know how to tell them please help me I don't know what to do and this video made me realize that I need to just let it out to my mom because unfortunately I lost my dad he dropped me and my brother off on the side of the road and a family came and picked me and him up and I realized that family was my mom and I never talked to my dad when I still love him but he DOSENT love me or my brother Thankyou PK for making me realize it DOSENT matter if your gay les bi or trans were all still a team and I will never leave that team thankyou😭💕
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!
PK thank you for sharing but you brought tears to my eyes when you mentioned your grandma who passed from cancer and your regrets in not being able to tell her. That had to be a difficuilt time for you. God bless you and Mikey.
PK - thank you for sharing!! VERY emotional, and I still have tears in my eyes as I type this. Just want to say that you guys are great and brave in doing this. Thank you. I thought of myself when you said creating other labels... I never realized that I had done that also - Vice President of this club, President of that, Academic Senator in College.... Sad, isn't it?? But true for so many of us.
I am SURE that your grandmother is looking down and smiling and loving you!
I think that you and Mike are so wonderful and feel almost like a part of my family. I am your dad's age, but you are wise beyond your years and bring much insight to those that watch your videos. Thank you again!
Have to say this - wish that Mike had a twin brother! You 2 are cuties!!!
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...
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 stop beating yourself up, I believe your grandmother had more than enough on her plate with cancer...let her rest in peace and love and You forgive yourself now and live with her loving you just for being her grandson and a wonderful guy that you are.
Thank you for sharing this PK.. I laughed and cried... You are such an inspiration... You give me hope to look forward to a future that's full of happiness... Thank you!
boy, that was an emotional roll-a-coaster. i always cry at coming out storied but i think i cried the most at your story so far. i had a similar situation. i am with my partner now for the past 18 going on 19 years and you do meet the one. thanks for sharing and i can not wait to hear your partners story. good job and thanks for being a leader in the gay youTube community by helping and supporting people coming to terms. HAPPY PRIDE.
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 : )
Thank you for sharing your story.
I believe that we know (subconsciously) everything that is going to happen to us in our lives. It is either learning how deal with the issue/event that has popped into our lives or learning the skill we need to put these ideas into existences/reality.
It's all about timing. Sometimes you have a choice to inform the world of your/our existences and other times it can thrust upon us.
I also believe this world doesn't give us anything that we can't handle or at the least is a story (which you may not know at the time) that will you make you/us a stronger persons.
Also I'm a great believer, that I wasn't called into existence for myself. Not that I'm here to be somebodies other half, because I'm whole. I'm just looking for somebody to journey through this world with. Whom doesn't have to use words, to know what I'm feeling/thinking (well not all the time).
Kind regards.
Jeames.
Oh guys I love you too so much great video
I came out 8 months ago and it wasn't bad My parents are so proud :)
You two are so awesome
I'm so happy I found your TH-cam channel. I cried listening to you. My daughter came out years ago. I love the reaction when she told me and I told her it was about time she said something. And that I love her the same way. And I have her back no matter what.
thank you so much PK for sharing your story. i will always be person who respect to another peoples no matter who they are.. you are the amazing and inspiring person and your family is one of the best family. so thankful to have them in your life and of course Mike too. cant wait for Mike's story. love you guys. XOXO ..
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!
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.
I don't feel like a "like" shows how much I loved this video. Words can't even describe it, but I'll say one thing.. one of the best videos I ever watched on TH-cam❤
I'm confident that your Grandma is up there watching over you and being so proud of what you have become PK, and we're so grateful that we have you and Mike reminding us all the time that we are loved no matter what and we love you too for that. Giving you two a major internet hug right now :)
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 came out to my friends first, and then my sister, favorite aunt, and then my mom. After that, mom and I both thought the rest of the family might not be as loving. Apparently, the weight of that was a heavy burden on my mom. She had picked her sister up from the airport and just started crying, and told her sister why. That she was scared that the family would reject me. Her sister said that that was stupid, and told the whole family. My mom called me to let me know what had happened. Then my grandmother called, but I was too scared to answer the phone. I still regret that. My grandmother left a message, and said, "Johnny, I love you! I couldn't love you any more. I'm happy that you have found someone that makes you happy (I was living with my boyfriend at the time, and that was shared with everyone, too). I can't wait to meet him. I love ya, kid." I only regret waiting so long to let my family know me. Moreso, that I didn't trust the people that had always loved me so well.
I empathize with your regret, PK Creedon.
Thanks for your inspirational story.Im a gay too.
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!!
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!!!!
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.
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.
you are amazing! I'm so happy that your coming out journey was full of supportive individuals and love!
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!!!
Awww..PK Thanks for sharing your story with us. Glad everyone was so supportive. Awesome story and great message, so inspiring! So proud of you and we'll always love you x
Happy Pride :)
PK you have a heart of gold! You two should be voted the POWER COUPLE OF THE MILLENIUM
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.
What a gift you have given your parents and the rest of us . A video blog to cherish !
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!
My grandma passed away about a year ago, and one of my biggest regrets when it happened was that I didn't come out to her, so I definitely understand the pain of it. Thanks for sharing your story.
I'm glad you had a good coming out experience, I did too which i'm really lucky and thankful for because I know not everyone has good experiences. Thanks for sharing your story because I know a lot of people watch coming out stories before actually getting the courage to do it themselves, so hopefully this will help someone out in the future.
Thanks for sharing ! I think your video is awesome cause it shows that people can be open-minded and supportive and that comin-out can be a totally positive experience ! I hope that one day stories like yours will be the norm and not an exception :)
love and adore two of u so much. Live with your true personality is the most priceless thing in the world.
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
You seam to be a kind valuable unique person I really loved the video ... Now I'm just waiting for mike's coming out story hahaha
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 :*
That is a beautiful story. I can empathize with you when you tell about your grandmother whom you did not get to come out to. I did not get to come out to my parents, because I was still unable to accept myself before they passed. I especially feel bad about my mom, because I think she knew and she tried to drop hints that it was ok for me to tell her.
Today is my day off and I decided to marathon all your vids and I AM SO HAPPY I DID. Thank you for the good vibes and I literally laughed my lungs out in every single vids! You're my new favorite and I hope you guys won't get tired of making your osm vids :)
You made me cry! You deserve all the happiness in the world! I love you PK!
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 don't know why Mike makes me cry everytime I watch one of these videos but he does...the way he loves patrick is so real and beautiful and moving..I've never seen that...that's all I want..sigh
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
this video make me cry with happy tears because I had the same reaction from my family and friends as you did. also, I have that same regret as you do because I didn't tell one of my grandmas before she passed away. thank you for sharing and you two are such an inspiration.
Thank you for this very emotional video. Mike's deep love for PK is so apparent. I love you guys.
