I just came out to my mom 2 days ago.
I walked out of her closet and said "I'm bisexual."
I thought it was pretty entertaining
hahahahahah 😂😂😂 good job 👌 you made my day
okay i'm going to do this when i come out lol
YAAASS I'm going to do this
To the LGBT+ kids out there, I am a father of a gay boy. Don't prejudge your parents, I'm a vietnam vet, mechanic, and just plan old dinosaur. I was the last person my son came out to, because he was afraid that I would disown him. Believe it or not that hurt me so bad, for him to think I could ever stop loving him. Even if your parents are like me, and may seem on the outside like a person who would have a problem, you just might be surprised. Me and my son are closer than ever. You are loved :)
This comment made me cry.... I am fifteen and bisexual, and a girl. May i ask if you have any advise for me?? My father always talks about how gay people are disgusting and stuff and I dont know how to say it....
Alexa Owen hey hun, I'm pansexual n been out since I was 13 n I'm now turning 26 in Aug. Mind if I ask how old you are?
Sapphira Lynn she said she was fifteen
what an awesome father
Thanks for the tips you basically just gave a whole bunch gay people
I'm 13 but my parents keep insisting that I'm straight and it's now I realize that I'm far from it. when I was younger I was sure that I liked boys but never felt that attracted to them and always disliked the male body and the idea of sex.
Same
I'm a muslim, and I support LGBTQ+ with no hesitation. Just because I wear a headscarf I don't want people t think i'm homophobic. x
That's great :)
Paramore LPS Ty x
+Gino8451 you are a racist homophobic douch get tf of her channle ! y the hell r u even here?
MINT CONDITION Why does Gino8451 keep on harassing people on youtube? Why can't that punk just leave us alone if he/she is just homophobic and loathsome? That little punk needs to get the heck out of youtube.
I'm 13. I just came out to my mom last night. She said it's always been obvious 😂 I'm waiting for the right time to tell my homophobic father.
I am 17 and I have come out to my friends. But I am just terrified when I think of telling my family (My 3 siblings or my parents) My parents are really religious and kind of homophobic. Recently I got depressive and I even started hating myself... So I kind of understand you!
Good luck ! I'm going through the same thing
Hey You! Don't hate yourself. There's absolutely nothing wrong with you. It's their attitude that's wrong. I bet you're a really awesome person. Stay strong, it'll be fine.
***** Kiely Turner Thanks guys! At least we understand each other! We will go through it and we will show everyone how awesome we are, right?
Hey You! Absolutely!
Why on earth are some of us so ridiculously afraid of "otherness", especially when it is not harmful or dangerous?!
I love watching Coming Out Story videos.
It really helps me to know that I'm not the only one still struggling. I'm still struggling because my parents are religious and my girlfriend doesn't want me getting hurt.
I don't want to get hurt, but I know... one day, I'm going to do it.
I'm just glad that there's literally no limit to this.
You're an inspiration.
You've got a beautiful personality ElloSteph. Your story is very touching and wonderful.
your beautiful in and out. this video is the reason I subscribed to you because you seem like such a amazing person :)
Eight years ago I came out to my mom and the first thing she said was "I knew it." I'm completely out now and don't speak to 99% of my extended family because I'm a lesbian. My best friend of 20 years stopped talking to me because I decided to be me. It's all good, who needs family....
Its so good hearing someone else's story and their ups and downs! I've had a ton of hate since I came out last May and its amazing seeing someone come through on the other side of it all
OMG I LOVE UR TEGAN AND SARA POSTER IN THE BACKGROUND!!!!
What an awesome story!! Thank you for sharing you are awesome too. Coming out is indeed a process that takes years. I've lived more than a few decades, we won't say exactly how many years, and I STILL have coming out moments. So with this almost being the Anniversay of this coming out video. Thank you! You're awesome! Stay positive!
I just showed one of mt best friends this video a few days ago and it made his life a hell of alot easier. Thank you so much stephanie. -Hug- you are truly amazing
Hey everyone who you helped over the years me being one of them get how hard it is but I know we all want to thank you for being you and for helping us with all of your videos
That's Awesome! I'm not gay but I have told my kids that when they are older if they were to be gay that would be fine as they know theres nothing wrong with being gay. I believe if we teach our kids acceptance early on then hopefully anti gay bullying won't happen in schools
every parent needs to tell their kid(s) this
what a sincere talk! I appreciate the way you told your story to us, I'm impressed and touched. thank you.
I'm a Christian, and am bisexual (no-one knows). I have always been taught being gay/liking same-sex is a HUGE sin. However, I've just thought (this is for all fellow Christians): If God dislikes us for being gay, why did he make us like this?
+Fred Jones im christan and bisexual too. I think that God still loves us even if we are gay.
Exactly
I'm a Catholic pansexual and one thing my priest said that kinda helped me become happier with who I was was that God doesn't hate you. He loves everyone. The church as a whole though (Christians) can be judgemental and "require" you to do certain things or be a certain type of person in order to be accepted into the church. But that doesn't change the fact that God loves you.
I love your story thank you for telling it. You are my new hero. Stay strong in life and do what you do best.
Your coming out story was inspirational! You're beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
It's crazy how I'm watching this video now and I remember watching your first coming out video more than two years ago when I was still figuring out who I was and haven't told anyone anything. That video helped me a lot. The past two years I was able to accept myself for who I was because I was honestly terrified at first. I was able to come out to my closest friends who were just amazing about it. I met and fell in love with a girl who helped me as well as helped her learn more about ourselves and accept ourselves. I learned what love truly was, even though we aren't together anymore I'm still happy that it happened. My next step now is to come out to my family, who are Catholic and I'm truly the only gay cousin. It'll be a hard process but I have to be positive about it. Thank you for your positivity and sharing your life with us, you inspired me to be myself. I hope to meet you one day and give you a hug! -N
i came out to my brotherm to my sister and my mother once... she took it bad, she said to never talk about it again... after that i fell in love with a guy, we had a relationship for over 3 years.. durin that time my mother forgot the subject... she may think that it was a fase.. but its not. im not that confortable with boys... all my friends know couse they know me so well and they care for me a lot. most of them are gay or bi. i have some straight friends, both girl and boys... i had a relationship with a girl for a year. it was a nice year but it finish in a bad way couse i wasnt ready for a relationship with a girl. i wasnt in that time sure of my sexuality and i didnt even love myself... i dont do now.. its hard, im not very confident if myself... but now i admit my love for woman and im proud of it.
I know you posted this two years ago but I really needed to hear that at the end thank you so much
The L-word in your L-box! Love it! I have two daughters, one who is bi and one who is straight. It doesn't matter to me what their sexual orientation or gender identity is. I only want them healthy, happy and safe. I hope for a day when people no longer need to come out, but can just live their lives and be. :)
AliciaLand you are an amazing mother!
I have to say thank you, my girlfriend loves watching your videos. She always has the biggest smile on her face. You give her confidence and inspire her to be better. Your just inspiring to everyone, but i love seeing her lying on the couch after having a bad day or shes in pain, and shes laughing and smiling because shes watching you. So thank you for belping my partner out in hr times of need even though you dont know :)
Keep it up :)
Ele xx
Really apriciated this video. It made me happy to watch in so many ways. Thanks.
I'm 13 and I just realized that I was attracted to girls this year. I haven't come out to my family or friends yet, but I plan on it soon.
I'm out to quite a few people... but not fully. I got some support and some hate for it. It's lovely when others can share their experiences though... It let's others get the courage to do the same. I'm so glad I stumbled onto this channel today. Lovely videos so far. Keep up the great work~!
OMG.....it's 'younger Steph'! Haha
Wow! Inspiring!! ❤️❤️ thank you for posting this!
Steph, every time I watch your videos I get in a better mood
Great video. Congrats! And you are so right. I'm much older than you and I'm still coming out slowly. I'm from a generation where it wasn't so easy to be out. Videos like yours give me strength. Thank you!
i came out to my mom when i was 12.... She was like "But how do you know you're gay (lesbian) if you've never had sex?"
So i looked her straight in the eye and said "Ive never had sex with cheese, but i love it. Don't need to have sex with someone to know you love them."
Squishy Roll
LOL!! awesome comeback 😂😂😆😆✌👌
may I ask you if you are lesbian, bisexual, or pansexual?
By the way →
congratulations on your coming out 👏👏👏🙌🙏🙌
Literally loving her
You are the sweetest person ever. Thanks for sharing your story. Love you~
Thank you sweetie I love you too. Be happy, never regret and never look back cause your road ‘s ahead so leave your initials to remind them that you were there🌹
I came out in July this summer. It was so scary but I was so relieved when I did it. I'm so happy I did. Happy Coming Out Day!!!
omg totally fangirled over the Get Along poster xD I LOVE YOU STEPH you're the best
Love it. Took me a few years to completely come out as well. It can be a verrryyy long process. Just finished up by telling TH-cam in a vid yesterday though! WOOP.
Thank you so much for this video! I just cannot to all of my friends and they all very supportive now I just have to tell my parents and family!!
If I meet you ever (which I'm sure will never happen) I MUST HUG YOU! I adore you and your amazing way with words. Keep up the good work, you are inspiring to ll of us!
So um I told all my friends that I was bi and my dad and step dad. They were all accepting of it until it came down to my mom... She said no I wasn't bi that it's just a phase. That I'm confused... Well I'm not I know my sexuality... I just hate that out of all the people I love my mom is the least accepting. She told me things like; Its gross and that am I trying to come onto her. One day she said I should just move out. It hurts to know she'd say all this... But I just pretend to be straight for her sack... I use to have a girlfreind and her mom found out causing us to break up... I just wish people were more accepting of it...
Alie Bae I hate the fact that most of the gays, lesbians and other people don;t accept us bisexuals. :(
Tina :) ik...it doesn't seem fair, you know? :( Just because I'm attracted to both doesn't mean I'm a hoe, cheating on like 7 different people
TRUEEEE UGH.
I know I'm bi and I have only come out to my bff
Ya me too
Good for you- you seem to have a great vibe about you and loving people in your life. I think I may subscribe to your channel based on this video alone. Have a great day :)
You have the largest, prettiest eyes. They look green. Glad your family was loving and supportive...you go girl.
You had so much support, your story is very nice and inspiring :)
You're so inspirational ❤️
It's okay, you'll get there someday(:
and when that day comes i wish you the best of luck with everything!
Your story brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing that. It's really funny but I was born at the Coming Out day but I haven't came out yet
I'm a lesbian too and you inspire me SO much thank you
You are so amazing and have really inspired me.
I just came out a little less than a week ago and I feel so much better. I recorded my parents when I told them because I wanted to see how they would react and uploaded a video in hopes people would watch it to see that you never know how people are going to react. Thanks for sharing your story and helping people, love you steph
***** I'd rather be in hell if you will be in heaven honestly.
***** for starters, he can probably spell my name correctly.
Because correct grammar and clothing define a person? I think there's a flaw in your logic.
***** ^
Then stop being straight. See how that sounds? I appreciate your concern, but I'm doing just fine. *****
I never really got to tell my mom before she passed away, and at 39 I still have people to come outdo. Thank you for your video, it is encouraging me to tell the people I want to that don't know. Thank you again. Peace v
omg i love u so much u r such an amazing person
i know this sounds crazy but u helped me come out to my friends thank u so much
You're amazing!!!! I love youuuuuuuu
That was real inspirational. Thanks for sharing, hopefully I will make a coming out video soon. You're amazing and Beautiful!
My best friend's exact words when i came out to her were "aw thats so cool. Can i chop the onions please?" I was cooking lol
Thankyou so much for making this video
What an awesome chick! Wow your words mean alot specially to people like me ( whoa way too much to spill out right now). Thanks for your inspiration!
Awe this story is so perfect .
I came out to my mom today, and its videos like this that keep inspiring me
I hope everything works out for the best!
I love ur Tegan and Sara poster in the back! :)
am I the only one who can't stop watching the mirror at the back😂😂
At school, even though I had been very open about my sexual orientation, I had never wanted it to be spread throughout school, but it happened to me as well. The feeling was terrifying, but like she said, the people that mattered accepted me, and even though there was name calling and/or teasing, it was just nice to know that those i cared about were okay with it
I am trying to work up the courage to come out and this video really helped me. Thank you so much :-)
Holy crap. Our stories are nearly identical. Thank you so much for sharing
Needed this thanks
I am 13 and i am lesbian and i am proud! i have been bullied so much at school in the last 2 months but i just carry on to be who i am♥i salute you all gay girls and guys♡★
caitlin Gabriel Don't listen to the bullies, I realise this is so late but always be proud :)
Loveeeeeee the Get Along: Tegan and Sara poster
Tegan and sara totally sold out...... ew.
I also went to a religious Jewish school!! And i knew when I was in 6th grade!! Your so amazing!! I love you Steph!!!
Great story, lovely jewellery, Tidy room, What a very straightforward woman. I wish you lots of enjoyment and happiness.
Amazing video!!! I loved it!!
Fruit cake, That is such a lovely thing, so cute! I am sorry you got kicked out but i am so glad you are fine now and are sharing you story with us all. Keep being fruity :D!
Thanks for sharing your story. Go you!
i just came out to my family a few days ago and my mom was very supportive, but my dad is harassing me. I don't know why people have to be so mean
my dad would be the same if he found out his two oldest kids arnt straight,my mom is pretty much fine with what she knows so far though
You go girl!
this is perfff this video is just perff
This was uploaded on my birthday! I had no idea that it was national coming out day! Thats awesome!
Steph ur amazing and I love ur videos... ur videos help so many people.. :)
You're a beautiful and inspirational human being. I'm glad you made it and that you are happy in life. ✌#Cheers
so awesome i liked ur views on how each story matters :,)
Great story :) You were very lucky to have your neighbor there to guide you through so much when you were first learning about the gay lifestyle, as well as to have other LGBT+ friends. That, I think, is one of the hardest things about my personal situation - not having that. But really, thank you for sharing this :) Happy National Coming Out Day!
Ooh look it's tegan and sara in the back!
When can people be like this to me, to be all sweet and accept who I am? I still don't know if I am gay, but I want people to accept me for who I am everyday. ElloSteph you are a big inspiration to me and others!!! 😊
OMG YOU'VE CHANGED SO MUCH OVER THE YEARS I'M SHOOK FAKDSJFHKAJSFG
Thank you so much for this. I'm 14, and going to a private Jewish school as well and coincidently I also confided in my bisexual friend this year, my close friends, and my immediate family. I'm still not sure whether I am bisexual or lesbian, but this video meant a lot to me. Thank you!
Very helpful story. Thank you.
I relate too this soo much. I'm 12 and I'm slowly coming out to close friends, but I'd rather not tell my parents until I'm out of the house. My dad can barely handle Hannah Hart.
Lovely story! Thanks for sharing :)
aw you're so sweet ! love you :)
It took me ten years to come out. I realized I liked girls when I was 12 years old, and I came out to my family when I was 22. I am so glad I came out, I am SO much happier.
Love you more!
Thx Steph !!
Just turned 18 and came out the day before national coming out day this year! Took almost my entire high school career to accept that I'm gay. This is a great video! Thank you! Ps you are GORGEOUS!! Absolutely stunning! :)
I subscribed to you
I came out as bi-curious to my mom and sister, with the help of a really great friend, 5 days before Christmas after my sister's baby shower. It went better than i expected it to and I'm glad I was finally able to be open with my mom after bottling things up and feeling like I was a different person around them than I was around my friends cuz my friends knew first. I know I still have some discovering left to do but I feel that was the first step in discovering who I really am.
Sometimes it takes people a while, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that at all. Coming out is something everyone does on their own terms. But, no matter what, it helps you be exactly who you are which I think is one of the most important things in the world.
I don't really know how I came to this Video since I was listening to music (lol) but still I listened to your whole story. it's always a good thing seeing that we are not alone with this "Problem", but still, where I live I'm really afraid of comin' out. My parents know, and they are not really proud of it, some friends do know it too, but still, most of the people I know don't know anything. It's sad, 'cuz I always have to think about what I say, not to say anything wrong so ppl could find out I'm gay. It's not that I'm afraid to get beaten up or stuff like that, but already being a lonely person I get afraid of losing even the few ppl left with me. I hope I'll get it over and eventually coming out to the world, how you did. :3
Steph, you have the best smile! 😆
This made me smile. Thank you for helping my confidence boost up. This gives me confidence that one day, I will be able to come out 100% as lesbian. Again, thanks. ❤️
