I was so afraid to be vulnerable in front of so many people , but im glad i got my feelings out! Thank you karamo for giving my mom and I the space to speak openly about our feelings!
God bless you honey! May he continue to strengthen and keep you and your family on this journey. You are so brave for expressing yourself especially to your mother. I know that was hard. You got this young King. Stay encouraged 🤍
Give your mom a chance and keep being hopeful. Even if something else may occur and you think she is not listening. Let her know just that, I have a son that's gay and I understand how your mom feels. BUT at the end of it all , that's my son and I love him unconditionally. And it took me a little while to accept that he was gay. Only because I was also taught that it's wrong. But then I thought about the fact of whom am I to judge . And how hateful some people are to gays. Which in turn they do not think about, because they themselves will be judged .
When he broke down for his grandma, I knew she was the only one who truly loved him wholeheartedly & that loss is still breaking him. I bawled. I’m so proud of you Jimmy. I pray you have peace with living in your truth♥️
No prayers for that disturbed entity boy, and you can judge people, it's written in your bible of contradictions, but it's how you judge and what for. Open your blind eyes, that's why you got a judge in the court system.
I felt so emotional as well. We truly don't know how big of a fight they are experiencing. Jesus sees him pass what we see. And although I am not in agreement with the sin I see a beautiful soul that needs deliverance. God help him to keep the faith. Lord I 😢for our children
As a gay 69-year-old black man I too went through the same with my family. I never felt the love from my deceased Dad, my mom always tells me she loves me when we talk, but not from my older or younger siblings. It was so bad, that I moved 250 miles away, 40 years ago. It is tough getting older without the love of your family. Jimmy, you are a great inspiration to all gay black males with the same feelings all over the world. A great video, Thanks.
I am a mother of a gay daughter, and I was raised to believe it was a sin. However, the moment my daughter told me the belief went out the window because my love for my daughter is unconditional. I don't see her as a gay woman. I see her only as my daughter. True love allows you to see past anything when it comes to your kids.
Mom!!! I’m most definitely near your age and I was raised around bigots, homophobia and racism and a word of advice. No matter how we were raised, we as ADULTS know that we don’t have to live that way, ESPECIALLY knowing we can and are hurting others. Our children and grandchildren deserve better. You are denying yourself a true loving relationship and after this life is over you want to leave the world a better place
@@felicitypasquill9194How do you disagree with an identity? It’s not an argument. Someone cannot change innate aspects of themselves like sexuality. That is the definition of bigotry.
Never, ever, ever beg for acceptance from anyone, including your mother. YOU MATTER!! My mother flipped on me, and I refuse to let her stop me. Like you, my granny supported LGBT people 100 percent, even went to Gay Bingo to see the Drag Queens, and they called her big mama. First Lady Elenor Roosevelt said,”No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” You will NEVER give your consent Jimmy❤️❤️🤗🤗
No he doesnt . Put such things down and have more kids , the only solution . Take them on a vacation to a 3rd world country , pay a local $$$ , he will solve your problem . Come back and have more kids
As a black, gay, Christian man this broke my heart because I was him. The fact that his mom couldn't even say the word gay reminded me of my mom. I went thru the same thing with my family, but 10 years later I have the best relationship with both parents, my father is now my best man in my wedding. Jimmy, you are a very handsome young man and with time and patience, everything will be okay. Just give your mother time and help her understand who you are. Karamo, I thank you so much for being a trailblazer, I love you down man fr
God loves all His children that follow His laws and teachings. All who go against God's Will and His teachings and laws are not His children. All who refuse to repent and don't turn to God are sinners and children of Lucifer (Satan/ devil 😈)
He can go live on his own, enjoy the choices and lifestyle. It sounds more like he needs his momma financial support while he's messing with men. Make those men take care of you that's what he should be crying about..
He speaks very well and he expresses his feelings well too, mom stop being scared and stop thinking so hard about it and let him be himself. I know it’s hard. We have a vision for our children and when they don’t live up to it, it’s scary and frustrating. We have to learn to let them be and find their way
You may feel hurt by your child’s decision to “come out.” But remember, this is not something they have done “to” you. Their homosexuality is not something they conjured up to purposely embarrass or punish you. It’s most likely been a painful secret they’ve kept hidden for years precisely because they feared you would be hurt. This is your child’s struggle, your child’s wound. As a loving parent - and a Christian - you must be mature and courageous. Now is the time to show your child the same grace and unconditional love that Jesus shows to all of us who struggle with sin in our lives. Pray for wisdom, understanding and the right words to say in this difficult and delicate situation.
She doesn't have to learn anything, he can go live on his own, enjoy his choices and lifestyle. That lady has other children to raise ✌️. It sounds more like he wants his mommy financially support his lifestyle with men
Im 40. I came out when i was 17. When i came out to my mom.. she looked at me then kept doing what she was doing. She told me that i wasnt telling her anything she did not know. We have had THE BEST relationship ever. I feel so bad for anyone who has a mom that shows any kind of love anything less than what my mom has shown. Iam very blessed
I’m a woman (25) and I told my mother just 2-3 years ago that I had my first relationship ever.. and she was a woman. My mother was the same, she was like yeah I had a feeling. I’m still on the fence about my choice, as I know God doesn’t like the lifestyle and I’m very God fearing.. but I’ve welcomed Him to change my life where He sees fit. If I’m not meant for this woman, then send me to the one I’m meant for. BUT my gf is wonderful and loving.. hasn’t given me one reason to leave. My mother likes her too, even cracks gay jokes around us lol. Not everyone in our position is so blessed..
This young man is amazing! He is so clearly stating his needs and it seems to fall on deaf ears. It's simply heartbreaking. I would sign up to be his mom in a second! ❤
“I’ve never said anything against your sexuality.” I’m tired of hearing that. He expressed it’s not what you say, it’s your actions. It’s how you act around him and towards him versus others. That young man is very self aware and very intelligent.
@@deronreed2945did you even watch the video? how is he being a drama queen? his own mom acts funny towards him for being gay and treats him differently than the rest of his siblings and the fact that she can’t even say the word “gay” is very telling.
MOM, as a daughter with a disability it feels like a similar situation. Like he said ‘he didn’t want to choose it’s just what he got’. His gay side isn’t everything, just like my illness isn’t who I am but I’m happy my mum learnt it and accepted it and remained the BEST MOM!
WOW! That was an intense episode. I empathized with the son and the mom. He articulated his feelings very well. He was clear and to the point. It was so interesting that the mom was just as clear and to the point. She honestly did not understand. She definitely loves her son. The proof is her willingness to change her perspective. So cool to see Karamo identify completely with his guests.
This is so tough! I didn't come out until I was 41yo because of fear and I was terrified of what would happen. When I finally did, I was excommunicated from my family and church! I am now in my 50's and my family have FINALLY come around.
I’m so proud of Karamo for becoming the man HE NEEDED as a child now he’s able to help heal kids like him. this episode had me bawling i love my community 🫂🤎🏳️🌈
Karamo is the next oprah ! I’ve learn so much from you. Like how you did took your time with this family especially the mother when she didn’t understand what you meant by getting to know her son better. You listen and sometimes that’s the main thing people need . Great job ! You’re doing the lords work!
@winnykavugwi3089 God has to be involved in sin considering we are all sinners in one form or another. How can he leads us away from it if he doesn't want to get involved. Makes no sense to me
@@whocares650 He does help us get out of it by knowing the truth (sodom and and gomorah its the teaching that He has written so that you can read n understand the context and consequences of such acts what will happen at the end of it all )and not to live in it with ignorant ear and hard hearts to repent and accept the truth can you kindly read your bible again unless your replies are based on human thought and thinking.if you need any proof of anything that isn't right in Gods eye just take your time read the word and you will judge for yourself whether what you do if its right or wrong dont be lazy to read Gods word stay blessed
People don’t understand the mother, she was raised differently but she accept him and was willing to learn but it takes time. The same way he wants to be learned she does too.
Best statement I've heard on this tread all night....I'm going thru the same experience as a parent...I love my son but I don't agree with his sexual preference because of my beliefs...now he has hiv 😢......it's not the end of the world but I am truly trying to open up and understand...
What I hate is they want people who think like his mother to except them and they are unwilling to except people that think like his mother sometimes gay people are some of the most selfish people
They have to both be patient and listen to each other.. I could see the genuineness in his mother and the emotion in Jimmy.. they both want the same thing.. as Karamo would say, they gonna be alright ❤️
I don't blame her totally. She was taught that being gay is wrong. She was taught that it is a sin. I do give her kudos for caring enough for her child, and coming on the show to learn, and be able to reconnect with her son. Let the healing begin!
I can. She, as an adult, is fully aware that she was TAUGHT that! so she is fully aware it can be unlearned and if that's not something you're willing to do for YOUR CHILD!!!! you don't deserve kids. She CHOSE to continue being that way and uses that as an excuse.
No. “Nippy” Unacceptable!!!!!! So if white racist parents teach there children to hate black people, and teach them black peoples are untrustworthy people, and they’re always wrong. When that child becomes an adult, it’s okay for them to continue the same cycle because that’s what they were taught? That’s not a valid reason to excuse her behavior. Not everything our parents teach us is correct and not everything should we abide by.
@@_kiearacovee I get that but it’s the meaning of the word and it’s not something a little kid should say at that age , if they said that a lot inappropriate classroom the teacher will say something like , I’m not saying she’s completely right and I get what you saying but facts and facts
My tears were bout to rush down I had to blink them back. They were thick too. I hope that she can be better and they can grow their relationship. He truly deserves it.
This one really hit me as a straight female. This is so sad and hurtful, Jimmy is an amazing and adorable and handsome young man who deserves an apology and unconditional love. I really hope his mom gives him the love and respect he deserves and I really hope Jimmy can benefit and feel happy, loved and respected ❤️
I accepted my daughter's decision later on in her life at 31 yrs with 4 kids. Now, she's 33 years. She's doing amazing with her partner and my grandkids are so happy, more happy than they've ever been. I was raised the same way like this mother. God is the judge of all things. I don't have no rights to cast any stones at no one. I still believe in God and his son Jesus Christ. 🙏🏾 🤲🏾❤️
Amen!...Because I'm sure we all have our share of so-called sins, but our parents didn't cast us aside because of it. They loved us in spite of, even if they didn't necessarily like what we were doing. It's amazing how people are unwilling to show the same grace to their own creations/kids that has been shown to them at some point in life. And what's crazy is that as far as we know, this young man graduated from high school, went to college, stays out of trouble, and is not being a menace/danger to society. His overall character and productivity in society matter WAY more than whom he's attracted to.
i’m glad that you love your daughter unconditionally but momma, it’s not a decision. she was always who she was and God knew that. keep loving and supporting her in all of her endeavors.
He’s a beautiful young man. Sometimes I think it’s hard for parents who were not brought up around things that are “normalized” now such as being openly gay and such. I don’t believe all parents are trying to be homophobic, it’s just something they aren’t used to and that should be accepted as well. I believe no one should be forced to accept someone and that doesn’t automatically make them homophobic or disgusting, it’s just their personal outlook. I think this topic should be brought up more because people often think just because someone doesn’t accept or easily understand someone that is gay that they are homophobic which isn’t true. You have to understand the other person as well, and it’s 100% okay if they can’t easily welcome you. But what they SHOULD give is respect always. That’s how I feel.
She doesn't have to learn anything, he can go live on his own, enjoy the choices and lifestyle. He wants his mommy taking care of him when he's with men. Make those men take care of you
@@ljb5163 Sometimes it's actually best that way to be alone. It's nothing like family looking at you in the face and ready to pull your plug a little early to receive their inheritance or go behind each other's back and change the living will.

@@sanyunadeera5237you sound mad dumb you can't choose to be gay that's like saying straight people can switch to being gay when they please stop and think with actual common sense if god had a problem with gay people they wouldn't be here, especially if he could do something about since he's the all mighty one right... Oh ok
Thank u Karamo for breaking it down for the mother becuz I wanted to jump thru the phone watching when she didn’t understand what “learning about her son being a gay man” meant. 🙄 Poor Jimmy 😞
Karamo will come a long way... So proud of you! 🎉 And as far as the topic, as long as we keep on communicating and try to understand each other, we will ALL come a long way! #HOPE ❤
When he started breaking down when his grandmother was mentioned sent chills down my spine I literally just started crying. 😢 I loved my Big Girl so much. 💕🙏🏾 I was very close to my great grandmother as a child & early adulthood & when she passed away, I was broken mentally, & emotionally. She understood me & always cared about me.
Not to take sides the mom looked at him the entire time. He didn't look at her once. She had no problem looking at him while he expressed himself. She just needs to gain more understanding from his side. He may need to do the same. You can tell she loves her son. There has just been a disconnect. To reconnect they need to tap in with each other more.
Her saying "what do i gain from that" is just so... ridiculous. You gain a relationship with your son! Like what do you mean. The son has love for his mom and she has love for him. If she can take a few steps forward i really think they can have a great relationship.
She can love everything about him and accept him but she knows that lifestyle won’t be accepted by God th-cam.com/video/sS_nO1idT2A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gK33jJ22mCHVpSVG
I believe she was under the impression that he would go into detail about how he sleeps with men. She was unsure of what the host meant by "learn" what he does as a gay man. Which is why he gave her clarity.
She didn’t understand the question. He said do you want him to go in detail of what it’s like being a gay man. So I understand why she looked that way . I would have too . People have to understand you can love your child and not like everything they do. It doesn’t what that may be it doesn’t have to be sexuality.
Yes generational curses are real,but they can b broken by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. But sin will always be sin, whether it's painted white or not!
This is the reason why I appreciate the Karamo Show because of the wisdom and the knowledge he displayed to his audience and everyone he have on his show.
LORD THIS HITS HOME! POOR BABY JUST NEED TO BE LOVED! MY DAUGHTER CAME OUT AFTER SHE WAS 18 BUT I KNEW IT ALL ALONG BUT I AM MY BABY'S BIGGEST CHEERLEADER! I PRAY FOR THIS FAMILY!
You can tell she really loves her son. He admitted it when she asked how she wasn't there for him. He really wants healing from begin SA at a young age and acceptance for his sexual orientation today. I don't feel like he feels protected from his Mom, but she doesn't know how to handle what happened. They need therapy.
I’m 34 years old and I still struggle with exactly this with my mother since I was in middle school. His mother loves him and he is such an amazing young man having the insight to seek help for this.
Wow, this episode is so emotional, I love it so much!! I am so happy that Karamo has his own shows because the topics that he says are so powerful especially what goes on in the black community. There are no other platforms for young black men to express who they are. I love the way Karamo broke down to his mum about his own experiences. Thank you xxxx
She twisted up her face so hard when Karamo asked if she would be open to learning about his experience as a gay man. I completely understand how she was raised, and what she believes, but there is hate and embarrassment around that part of her son's life. He was sexually assaulted and confided in her, and she didnt even seek help for him to help him heal. I don't understand her choices here.
Exactly and ppl got ther nerve to comment talking about they see she loves him like nah all 10 minutes I’ve watched so far I been watching a woman who looks deranged and brainwashed in the eyes and disgusted in the face everytime someone said gay. Get her homophobic azzz outtta his life cause she a worth a damnnnn lol
I think she made that face because it could be interpreted as “are you okay with your son divulging the very detailed sexual components of your sons life?, when really Karamo means are you prepared to accept your son for who he loves? Like the adversities and highs of his life, can he tell you with a welcome and listening ear. ✅
@Caramel1109 I don't feel like this mother is exhibiting any homophobia. Just because someone doesn't agree or understand it doesn't make them "homophobic". To have a phobia means you have a deep fear or hate towards something so learn your vocabulary before trying to label people a certain way. The mother obviously wants a relationship with her soon and she took the time out of her day to go on the show. The ending was beautiful and wholesome. How about wishing this family peace instead of focusing on the negative. Have a blessed day.
I think whenever karamo explained and broke it down to her she understood. Bless these parents hearts, they was raised with so much hate that it effects them as adults
she disassociate herself so much from the world, she wont even say the word, so if she can't even say the word how can healing begin. she wants no part in that.
She has a right to protect her kids from it if she doesn't want them to say the word that's ok she couldn't protect her older child but she can protect the young ones she deserves grandbabies and society trying to normalize adulrty and same sex relationships but God wants us to respect our bodies and not do that
@@chantaywilkes2569protect her children from what? loving who they want to love. being who they are and speaking out their truths? so you would rather you own child stifle themselves down to fit your expectations and how you were raised and raise them the way that you were (which in turn could be EXTREMELY DETRIMENTAL) instead of them being who they are and inspiring them to walk around with their heads held high?!
I Wept so much, listening to this young man, i just couldn't keep my eyes dry, my pillow is wept with my tears. Young man you're going places, you have leadership quality within you. Mom, you can learn what his life is about, and it will totally bring you both closer together. Love is a beautiful thing, it can change someone's life totally, in an instant for ever. God bless you both❤❤❤😀😃😃🙏🙏🙏🙏🙇♀️🙋♀️👏👏👏
My fiance taught me earlier in our relationship that LGBTQIA+ is NOT a choice. It’s a community of people who just want to live and be accepted for who they are as people. I felt bad for this young man. If I knew him I’d just love him for who he is.
As a Christian woman and a mother i can feel you mom. It is the hardest thing seeing your child go astray from God. He is your baby and you love that boy no matter what he thinks or everybody thinks . Only God can understand what you are going through as a mother and i pray that the Holy Spirit intervenes . May peace of Christ be with you and your son.
It's not hard. Y'all steady preach God loves all his children, God judges no one etc. But when it comes down to the lgbtq were sinning, we're disappointments, we're going against God etc. No. it's Yall double standards and what yall have normalized. I love the bible but i do not agree with what it says on the lgbtq because it has been rewritten many of times. We are ALL sinners. we sin every single day. It is our hearts that God reads.
Gay people need to understand that not all people will except them!! It’s not by force that we understand or except them!! My only thing is that, we need to learn to live, work and function together without looking down on each other’s point of view! How people are raised plays a lot in how they view things! It should be respected on both sides
Here's the thing. If you are considering children and go "if this child doesn't have my views, then I'm not going to accept them", then don't have kids. You're unfit to be a parent. Get a dog or something instead
How would you feel knowing your son is getting his ass dug out by another man......(come a fi mi country wid dat and si wah happen) if you get the concept y'all are gut nasty asf
She is a lot like my mother. Mine doesn’t accept me as a lesbian. That is her right and I am ok with it. We still talk multiple times a day on the phone and I visit every weekend. I know my mom loves me but I’m not going to force that part of my life on her the same way I don’t want her to force her views on me. You can still have a loving relationship with those who don’t accept parts of you. It only matters that you accept yourself. God loves you more than any human being ever will. Yes he loves the lgbt community too. Even though straight people try to take that away from us.
My thing, is straight community d#$k with 5 baby mommas is that in God's favor? OMG my heart goes out to him. We ALL fall short of the glory of God we have to be kind, stop judging and give each other GRACE. As parents, we are in the "My Kids Success Derby". I had to realize I cannot define success for them. But I will always love and accept them.
I don't feel like this mother is exhibiting any homophobia. Just because someone doesn't agree or understand it doesn't make them "homophobic". To have a phobia means you have a deep fear or hate towards something so learn your vocabulary before trying to label people a certain way. The mother obviously wants a relationship with her son and she took the time out of her day to go on Karamos show to repair the pain she has caused. No body is perfect and people make mistakes. Karamo executed this segment perfectly. Props ❤
When it comes to phobias such as homophobia or xenophobia, phobia doesnt just mean fear, it means hate for and prejudice thoughts towards, phobia has multiple definitions. So yes it can be homophobic the way she is acting she is resenting him because of his sexuality. Hence it being called homophobia. Just wanted to clear that up.
Regardless he is a human being who deserves love and acceptance. Blood isn’t thicker than water. Sometimes you need to step away, embrace the pain and make your own family.
This episode is so triggering for me! As a black gay male raised in a devout Christian family, I understand. I wish I could talk to him. He really needs positive influences in his life. The desire for acceptance will fade as one accepts themselves more.
She said she wants a relationship with her son. If she wants one, that's what she's gonna have to do. If she said "No I want nothing to do with him" he'd have said okay have her leave the stage and talk to him about healing/getting therapy and how to move on without her. So he's not trying to force her, he's telling her the steps she needs to take IF she doesn't want to lose her son. If she's fine with out her son in her life, then absolutely correct, she doesn't have to accept him.
She shouldn't even have to do that. As long as she loves and respects him as a person, then that should be enuff. She does not have to agree with his lifestyle to be a good mother
Denial is a river in Egypt is something my black father always says/said! Loved seeing this young man use an old saying. He’s so well spoken. He’s handsome, he’s clearly struggling with the loss of his grandmother. He should pursue modeling, or speaking about his life to help others. Or even social work if he’s able to go back. But I hope he is able to make a good living so he doesn’t need these people. They are not acting as family. And that’s incredibly hurtful and abusive..
As a 14 year old girl, who's a lesbian, my mama told me "your not gay" or "you're confused" she promises she's not against it, but she's muslim, and ik how muslims and Christians can be, my dad supports me being gay, but he died when i was 13, last year. Ik I'm gay, I was in love with a girl, i am dating now, for a few years, and i was crushing on Whitney Houston as a kid, ive never felt that way for a boy.
She does not have to agree to her son's lifestyle, no, she does not, regardless of what the world says and how they try and ridicule her. Her beliefs are her beliefs, and she's completely entitled to that; BUT mom does need to accept and love on her son regardless of his lifestyle. Period!
true but I cant justify ignorance just because it was taught to someone though religion. Bigotry is still bigotry and this means she ha it for everyone who is gay, not just her son. Shes just willing to say shes open to learning about him for the sake of ending the conversation because she still didn't WANT to understand
Look up the definition of ignorance. She admits to not knowing about her son. She wasn’t open to it previously due to religion and her upbringing. So it is ignorance.
@@borntoservegod4852If she can’t sit down and tell her son how to properly protect himself if he chooses to have gay sex it’s “ignorance”. There is no getting around that. You can’t say you love someone and refuse to love, help and protect them that is a contradiction.
It's not easy for both, that's very difficult situation, especially for the mother who was raised in certain way in which she never lived that experience her own kid being gay. So Karamo did a good job
If you go "For my kids to be valuable, they need to have the same views as me" then don't have kids. You're unfit to be a parent. If you can't love/respect your child unconditionally, get a dog instead of having a kid.
This guy is so right, it’s not a choice, I’m gay and I knew when I was 5. I wish I was straight, but what would a child know about sexuality when he’s 5. Who would choose to live a miserable life, and looked down on, and discriminated in public, directly or indirectly. I never came out to my family and never will. Cause nothing will change, telling people that I’m gay, it won’t make me straight, or pay mine or others bills, it will only waste my time, and others trying to explain to them about me, on the contrary people will talk about me, and I’ll be the source of entertainment, which I don’t want to happen, they can have other sources of entertainment on social media…
It’s definitely a choice bruh ! You went against what you said you said at 5 you were gay but then followed up saying what does a child know about sexuality in which you didn’t. Something happened to you simple as that it’s a choose to be gay 💯
It’s not a choice. Why would one choose knowing that they will be hated by others, it’s androgen(the male hormones) which are less, and there’s more estrogen(female hormone) in a human, when that boy will be attracted to the same sex. It’s science. Thats the reason why so many walk like girls and the girls act like men, cause they weren’t born with the right amount of hormones. If one is born with the right amount they will act straight humans, attracted to the opposite sex. I wish we could go inside our mothers wombs and put the right amount of hormones, just cause you’re born with the right amount, not everyone is born with the right amount. Google it, you’ll know about Androgen and estrogen. Some are born disabled, same thing some problems at birth, you’re not a doctor, ora. Scientist, but at least let’s know the basic facts, we learn some science in school, and I knew about male and female hormones at 13, in school. Probably you didn’t learn in your school. Let’s all get educated. Everyday we learn something new, so today before questioning someone do some study on internet about male and female hormones at birth.
Be grateful that you’re born with the right amount, not everyone is born healthy, some are born with disabilities. So I think this is a disability too, probably it can be fixed but would cost a lot to inject Androgen in a boy, which not everyone could afford, unless one is born to super rich parents..
If you don’t know, than don’t talk. We understand it more better when it happens to our own Families or someone close in our families is LGBTQ+, or else it’s easier to judge others, to treat people differently and showing hate, discrimination and disrespect. We’re living in a 🌍, when we point fingers at others when we’ve got our own mess to be cleaned. No one is perfect, probably the straight people do much worse things.
I meant to say, that I didn’t know why I was attracted to guys, when I had to be attracted to girls. It should come naturally, but it didn’t. We can’t like something artificially, it should come naturally , that attraction to sex is natural, it’s not made up, it’s the hormones, which play a major role.
I was so afraid to be vulnerable in front of so many people , but im glad i got my feelings out! Thank you karamo for giving my mom and I the space to speak openly about our feelings!
I Am super proud of you 💪❤
God bless you honey! May he continue to strengthen and keep you and your family on this journey. You are so brave for expressing yourself especially to your mother. I know that was hard. You got this young King. Stay encouraged 🤍
💙you have a brave heart. Stay strong and honorable babe.
Give your mom a chance and keep being hopeful. Even if something else may occur and you think she is not listening. Let her know just that, I have a son that's gay and I understand how your mom feels. BUT at the end of it all , that's my son and I love him unconditionally. And it took me a little while to accept that he was gay. Only because I was also taught that it's wrong. But then I thought about the fact of whom am I to judge . And how hateful some people are to gays. Which in turn they do not think about, because they themselves will be judged .
Jimmy I can be a surrogate, loving, additional mother, reach out and I’m here!!
When he broke down for his grandma, I knew she was the only one who truly loved him wholeheartedly & that loss is still breaking him. I bawled. I’m so proud of you Jimmy. I pray you have peace with living in your truth♥️
This made me break down and cry his grandmother was the only one who didn't judge him.
where were the tears? I'm befuddled.
Jesus is the truth, the life, and the way.
No prayers for that disturbed entity boy, and you can judge people, it's written in your bible of contradictions, but it's how you judge and what for. Open your blind eyes, that's why you got a judge in the court system.
I felt so emotional as well. We truly don't know how big of a fight they are experiencing. Jesus sees him pass what we see. And although I am not in agreement with the sin I see a beautiful soul that needs deliverance. God help him to keep the faith. Lord I 😢for our children
As a gay 69-year-old black man I too went through the same with my family. I never felt the love from my deceased Dad, my mom always tells me she loves me when we talk, but not from my older or younger siblings. It was so bad, that I moved 250 miles away, 40 years ago. It is tough getting older without the love of your family. Jimmy, you are a great inspiration to all gay black males with the same feelings all over the world. A great video, Thanks.
Your story is very admirable
Sad
Dumb story

This is off topic but your vitiligo is gorgeous
When he broke down about his grandmother I cried too. ❤

Same 😢 it made me think of my beautiful grandmother who passed last year and the one of a kind love she had for me 😥😥😥
I feel the same way about my grandma and will always miss her.
Right I cried too
I understand his love for his grandmother. I prey we get to see our loved ones again after this life
If you and them make it to Heaven if you will live for God obey God accept Jesus in your life? St John 3:16.
I believe we will❤️♥️ their signs and energy all around. We shall be united with our loved ones one day.

@@Ghostaredeadrespect is earned. She shows him no respect just because he's different. Shame on her

I knew his granny was his person. He instantly got emotional. I'm so happy he had unconditional ❤ from his grandmother. I know she's so proud of him.
I am a mother of a gay daughter, and I was raised to believe it was a sin. However, the moment my daughter told me the belief went out the window because my love for my daughter is unconditional. I don't see her as a gay woman. I see her only as my daughter. True love allows you to see past anything when it comes to your kids.
Good job, mom

What does the BIBLE say
That what we got to live by.
Not your opinion or my opinion. But what GOD SAY,!!!!
@ednasmith1203 that's your belief. The Bible also said not to judge. .
I love the saying in the bible that says don’t judge! Mum thanks for loving your daughter for who she is ♥️♥️♥️
Mom!!! I’m most definitely near your age and I was raised around bigots, homophobia and racism and a word of advice. No matter how we were raised, we as ADULTS know that we don’t have to live that way, ESPECIALLY knowing we can and are hurting others. Our children and grandchildren deserve better. You are denying yourself a true loving relationship and after this life is over you want to leave the world a better place
Amen sister...

So disagreeing with you is the definition of bigotry? How tolerant of you.
@@felicitypasquill9194How do you disagree with an identity? It’s not an argument. Someone cannot change innate aspects of themselves like sexuality. That is the definition of bigotry.
@@onyxgothiccThe same can be said about the mom. And the way she was raised.
Never, ever, ever beg for acceptance from anyone, including your mother. YOU MATTER!! My mother flipped on me, and I refuse to let her stop me. Like you, my granny supported LGBT people 100 percent, even went to Gay Bingo to see the Drag Queens, and they called her big mama. First Lady Elenor Roosevelt said,”No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” You will NEVER give your consent Jimmy❤️❤️🤗🤗
Rite on, big facts 💪
you can love jimmy but not his sexual behavior a man sleeping with a man it is a abomination GOD SAID IT IN HIS WORD!
When that baby started crying at the beginning i fell apart 😢. You are loved sweetie..YOU MATTER AND YOUR LIFE MATTERS❤
No he doesnt . Put such things down and have more kids , the only solution . Take them on a vacation to a 3rd world country , pay a local $$$ , he will solve your problem . Come back and have more kids
I loved that you explained and she listened!!! The love is there, it just needed space to grow. Good luck to them!
As a black, gay, Christian man this broke my heart because I was him. The fact that his mom couldn't even say the word gay reminded me of my mom. I went thru the same thing with my family, but 10 years later I have the best relationship with both parents, my father is now my best man in my wedding. Jimmy, you are a very handsome young man and with time and patience, everything will be okay. Just give your mother time and help her understand who you are. Karamo, I thank you so much for being a trailblazer, I love you down man fr

Yes mom!!! Hold on to your baby for dear life! Your job is to love him, not judge him.
He can go live on his own, enjoy the choices and lifestyle. It sounds more like he needs his momma financial support while he's messing with men. Make those men take care of you that's what he should be crying about..
He speaks very well and he expresses his feelings well too, mom stop being scared and stop thinking so hard about it and let him be himself. I know it’s hard. We have a vision for our children and when they don’t live up to it, it’s scary and frustrating. We have to learn to let them be and find their way
You may feel hurt by your child’s decision to “come out.” But remember, this is not something they have done “to” you. Their homosexuality is not something they conjured up to purposely embarrass or punish you. It’s most likely been a painful secret they’ve kept hidden for years precisely because they feared you would be hurt. This is your child’s struggle, your child’s wound. As a loving parent - and a Christian - you must be mature and courageous. Now is the time to show your child the same grace and unconditional love that Jesus shows to all of us who struggle with sin in our lives. Pray for wisdom, understanding and the right words to say in this difficult and delicate situation.

Im 40. I came out when i was 17. When i came out to my mom.. she looked at me then kept doing what she was doing. She told me that i wasnt telling her anything she did not know.

Me too fr and I'm 41 lol
I’m a woman (25) and I told my mother just 2-3 years ago that I had my first relationship ever.. and she was a woman. My mother was the same, she was like yeah I had a feeling. I’m still on the fence about my choice, as I know God doesn’t like the lifestyle and I’m very God fearing.. but I’ve welcomed Him to change my life where He sees fit. If I’m not meant for this woman, then send me to the one I’m meant for. BUT my gf is wonderful and loving.. hasn’t given me one reason to leave. My mother likes her too, even cracks gay jokes around us lol. Not everyone in our position is so blessed..
My child came to me and I said I already know who you are baby and I thanked her for trusting in me and reassured her that I love and respect her
You can definitely see that she loves her child!!! 🙌🏾🙏🏾 she’s willing to learn, because she’s on the show…I pray the relationship grows even more now🥰

“I’ve never said anything against your sexuality.” I’m tired of hearing that. He expressed it’s not what you say, it’s your actions. It’s how you act around him and towards him versus others. That young man is very self aware and very intelligent.

MOM, as a daughter with a disability it feels like a similar situation. Like he said ‘he didn’t want to choose it’s just what he got’. His gay side isn’t everything, just like my illness isn’t who I am but I’m happy my mum learnt it and accepted it and remained the BEST MOM!
WOW! That was an intense episode. I empathized with the son and the mom. He articulated his feelings very well. He was clear and to the point. It was so interesting that the mom was just as clear and to the point. She honestly did not understand. She definitely loves her son. The proof is her willingness to change her perspective.
So cool to see Karamo identify completely with his guests.
“G.A.Y” YA THATS ALL I NEEDED TO KNOW LOL
like be fr lady lol
Like she’s talking In front of kindergarten class
😂😂 I literally came to the comments the first time she said it wtf 😂😂
This is so tough! I didn't come out until I was 41yo because of fear and I was terrified of what would happen. When I finally did, I was excommunicated from my family and church! I am now in my 50's and my family have FINALLY come around.

People don’t understand the mother, she was raised differently but she accept him and was willing to learn but it takes time. The same way he wants to be learned she does too.
Am sure she's in shock
Best statement I've heard on this tread all night....I'm going thru the same experience as a parent...I love my son but I don't agree with his sexual preference because of my beliefs...now he has hiv 😢......it's not the end of the world but I am truly trying to open up and understand...
@@peterlintonWell he could’ve gotten HIV by being a straight man too. His sexual preference didn’t cause the disease not how he contracted it
What I hate is they want people who think like his mother to except them and they are unwilling to except people that think like his mother sometimes gay people are some of the most selfish people
exactly
They have to both be patient and listen to each other.. I could see the genuineness in his mother and the emotion in Jimmy.. they both want the same thing.. as Karamo would say, they gonna be alright ❤️
People like that don’t never change
I don't blame her totally. She was taught that being gay is wrong. She was taught that it is a sin. I do give her kudos for caring enough for her child, and coming on the show to learn, and be able to reconnect with her son. Let the healing begin!
Of course gay is a bad thing why will go and do gay for what ?
Very true
I can. She, as an adult, is fully aware that she was TAUGHT that! so she is fully aware it can be unlearned and if that's not something you're willing to do for YOUR CHILD!!!! you don't deserve kids. She CHOSE to continue being that way and uses that as an excuse.
@@4djinn💯💯💯💯💯 exactly !!!
No. “Nippy” Unacceptable!!!!!!
So if white racist parents teach there children to hate black people, and teach them black peoples are untrustworthy people, and they’re always wrong. When that child becomes an adult, it’s okay for them to continue the same cycle because that’s what they were taught? That’s not a valid reason to excuse her behavior. Not everything our parents teach us is correct and not everything should we abide by.

My tears were bout to rush down I had to blink them back. They were thick too. I hope that she can be better and they can grow their relationship. He truly deserves it.
This one really hit me as a straight female. This is so sad and hurtful, Jimmy is an amazing and adorable and handsome young man who deserves an apology and unconditional love. I really hope his mom gives him the love and respect he deserves and I really hope Jimmy can benefit and feel happy, loved and respected ❤️

I accepted my daughter's decision later on in her life at 31 yrs with 4 kids. Now, she's 33 years. She's doing amazing with her partner and my grandkids are so happy, more happy than they've ever been. I was raised the same way like this mother. God is the judge of all things. I don't have no rights to cast any stones at no one. I still believe in God and his son Jesus Christ. 🙏🏾 🤲🏾❤️
You never believe in God 😂
Amen! We can only pray that they fully accept Christ one day 🤍
@deborahrose1269 And you're judgment is typical of all the zealots that make religion unappealing.
Amen!...Because I'm sure we all have our share of so-called sins, but our parents didn't cast us aside because of it. They loved us in spite of, even if they didn't necessarily like what we were doing. It's amazing how people are unwilling to show the same grace to their own creations/kids that has been shown to them at some point in life. And what's crazy is that as far as we know, this young man graduated from high school, went to college, stays out of trouble, and is not being a menace/danger to society. His overall character and productivity in society matter WAY more than whom he's attracted to.
i’m glad that you love your daughter unconditionally but momma, it’s not a decision. she was always who she was and God knew that. keep loving and supporting her in all of her endeavors.
He’s a beautiful young man. Sometimes I think it’s hard for parents who were not brought up around things that are “normalized” now such as being openly gay and such. I don’t believe all parents are trying to be homophobic, it’s just something they aren’t used to and that should be accepted as well. I believe no one should be forced to accept someone and that doesn’t automatically make them homophobic or disgusting, it’s just their personal outlook. I think this topic should be brought up more because people often think just because someone doesn’t accept or easily understand someone that is gay that they are homophobic which isn’t true. You have to understand the other person as well, and it’s 100% okay if they can’t easily welcome you. But what they SHOULD give is respect always. That’s how I feel.
I totally agree with you 👏🏾
I really hope she does keep her word and she really does change and take the time to get to know him…because he isn’t just
G-A-Y…he is her SON!!
Yes he's indeed her son,n no loving mother will sit back comfortably n watch her son run to HELL!

That made me teary… I Wish them the best… I’d love to see an update on them
All he wanted was a hug from her. This made me tear up wow! Love this for them.
Not to take sides the mom looked at him the entire time. He didn't look at her once. She had no problem looking at him while he expressed himself. She just needs to gain more understanding from his side. He may need to do the same. You can tell she loves her son. There has just been a disconnect. To reconnect they need to tap in with each other more.
Her saying "what do i gain from that" is just so... ridiculous. You gain a relationship with your son! Like what do you mean. The son has love for his mom and she has love for him. If she can take a few steps forward i really think they can have a great relationship.
She sounds like she needs to be educated about a lot of things, hopefully, she'll broaden her horizons one day?? either way, he's going to fly anyway
She can love everything about him and accept him but she knows that lifestyle won’t be accepted by God

She didn’t understand the question. He said do you want him to go in detail of what it’s like being a gay man. So I understand why she looked that way . I would have too . People have to understand you can love your child and not like everything they do. It doesn’t what that may be it doesn’t have to be sexuality.

Wow, this episode is so emotional, I love it so much!! I am so happy that Karamo has his own shows because the topics that he says are so powerful especially what goes on in the black community. There are no other platforms for young black men to express who they are. I love the way Karamo broke down to his mum about his own experiences. Thank you xxxx
She twisted up her face so hard when Karamo asked if she would be open to learning about his experience as a gay man. I completely understand how she was raised, and what she believes, but there is hate and embarrassment around that part of her son's life. He was sexually assaulted and confided in her, and she didnt even seek help for him to help him heal. I don't understand her choices here.
Exactly and ppl got ther nerve to comment talking about they see she loves him like nah all 10 minutes I’ve watched so far I been watching a woman who looks deranged and brainwashed in the eyes and disgusted in the face everytime someone said gay. Get her homophobic azzz outtta his life cause she a worth a damnnnn lol
Agreed she don’t want to learn and her expressions and words is very much saying ima agree on TV but when we get home no😂😂😂😂
I think she made that face because it could be interpreted as “are you okay with your son divulging the very detailed sexual components of your sons life?, when really Karamo means are you prepared to accept your son for who he loves? Like the adversities and highs of his life, can he tell you with a welcome and listening ear. ✅
@Caramel1109 I don't feel like this mother is exhibiting any homophobia. Just because someone doesn't agree or understand it doesn't make them "homophobic". To have a phobia means you have a deep fear or hate towards something so learn your vocabulary before trying to label people a certain way. The mother obviously wants a relationship with her soon and she took the time out of her day to go on the show. The ending was beautiful and wholesome. How about wishing this family peace instead of focusing on the negative. Have a blessed day.

Y'all steady preach God loves all his children, God judges no one etc. But when it comes down to the lgbtq were sinning, we're disappointments, we're going against God etc. No. it's Yall double standards and what yall have normalized. I love the bible but i do not agree with what it says on the lgbtq because it has been rewritten many of times. We are ALL sinners. we sin every single day. It is our hearts that God reads.
Gay people need to understand that not all people will except them!! It’s not by force that we understand or except them!! My only thing is that, we need to learn to live, work and function together without looking down on each other’s point of view!
How people are raised plays a lot in how they view things!
It should be respected on both sides
Here's the thing. If you are considering children and go "if this child doesn't have my views, then I'm not going to accept them", then don't have kids. You're unfit to be a parent. Get a dog or something instead
I don’t think they should ever have a dog.
That’s his momma tho not nobody random off the street. That’s her child.
How would you feel knowing your son is getting his ass dug out by another man......(come a fi mi country wid dat and si wah happen) if you get the concept y'all are gut nasty asf
You said it very well
Why have I never seen any of his shows this man is amazing !!! Gifted !! Go KARAMO ❤️❤️
Karamo is such a patient guy
She is a lot like my mother. Mine doesn’t accept me as a lesbian. That is her right and I am ok with it. We still talk multiple times a day on the phone and I visit every weekend. I know my mom loves me but I’m not going to force that part of my life on her the same way I don’t want her to force her views on me. You can still have a loving relationship with those who don’t accept parts of you. It only matters that you accept yourself. God loves you more than any human being ever will. Yes he loves the lgbt community too. Even though straight people try to take that away from us.
God and LGBT can't be in one sentence plss😂😂
@@trizahmacharia2939 says who? Are you god? Do you have his authority? Did you personally write the Bible?
@@trizahmacharia2939hmmm were you a virgin on your wedding night??
@terry4161 its in the Bible, but i do agree with everything else you were saying.
My thing, is straight community d#$k with 5 baby mommas is that in God's favor? OMG my heart goes out to him. We ALL fall short of the glory of God we have to be kind, stop judging and give each other GRACE. As parents, we are in the "My Kids Success Derby". I had to realize I cannot define success for them. But I will always love and accept them.
This episode was extremely sad. Literally made me cry. 😢
I don't feel like this mother is exhibiting any homophobia. Just because someone doesn't agree or understand it doesn't make them "homophobic". To have a phobia means you have a deep fear or hate towards something so learn your vocabulary before trying to label people a certain way. The mother obviously wants a relationship with her son and she took the time out of her day to go on Karamos show to repair the pain she has caused. No body is perfect and people make mistakes. Karamo executed this segment perfectly. Props ❤
Yeah but her acting dumb like she doesn't understand what he meant by LEARN 🤣🤣. Like lady be for real
When it comes to phobias such as homophobia or xenophobia, phobia doesnt just mean fear, it means hate for and prejudice thoughts towards, phobia has multiple definitions. So yes it can be homophobic the way she is acting she is resenting him because of his sexuality. Hence it being called homophobia. Just wanted to clear that up.
@@Ricobangz-nq8iw😂😂😂😂😂
Regardless he is a human being who deserves love and acceptance. Blood isn’t thicker than water. Sometimes you need to step away, embrace the pain and make your own family.
True, he deserves love, n that is y da mother is against him being GAY, because she knows that it's sin, n detastable in the sight of God,
There is no greater love than the love that points u to the TRUTH, n that is JESUS CHRIST!
wheww when jimmy broke down about his gma i felt that ❤ im glad his mom is willing to learn about him and they grow a close relationship
I can tell they love each other. I wish them the best.
So glad this video exists. Thank you
This episode is so triggering for me! As a black gay male raised in a devout Christian family, I understand. I wish I could talk to him. He really needs positive influences in his life. The desire for acceptance will fade as one accepts themselves more.
Nah you just want to suck him
I don't think Karamo should try and force the mother to accept her son if she doesn't want to to.
She said she wants a relationship with her son. If she wants one, that's what she's gonna have to do. If she said "No I want nothing to do with him" he'd have said okay have her leave the stage and talk to him about healing/getting therapy and how to move on without her.
So he's not trying to force her, he's telling her the steps she needs to take IF she doesn't want to lose her son. If she's fine with out her son in her life, then absolutely correct, she doesn't have to accept him.
She shouldn't even have to do that. As long as she loves and respects him as a person, then that should be enuff. She does not have to agree with his lifestyle to be a good mother
g had me crying jesus christ heartbreaking praying for healing god bless both of you
“Denial(The Nile) is a river in Egypt”- that was hilarious 😂4:38
RIGHT HAD ME LAUGHING SO HARD
KARAMO IS BOSS I LOVE THIS MAN I MEAN A TRUE GENIUS JUST LOVE HIS CHARACTER, AND PERSONA HES THE BEST
Denial is a river in Egypt is something my black father always says/said! Loved seeing this young man use an old saying. He’s so well spoken. He’s handsome, he’s clearly struggling with the loss of his grandmother. He should pursue modeling, or speaking about his life to help others. Or even social work if he’s able to go back. But I hope he is able to make a good living so he doesn’t need these people. They are not acting as family. And that’s incredibly hurtful and abusive..
I love Karamo! Best talk show host!
As a 14 year old girl, who's a lesbian, my mama told me "your not gay" or "you're confused" she promises she's not against it, but she's muslim, and ik how muslims and Christians can be, my dad supports me being gay, but he died when i was 13, last year. Ik I'm gay, I was in love with a girl, i am dating now, for a few years, and i was crushing on Whitney Houston as a kid, ive never felt that way for a boy.
She does not have to agree to her son's lifestyle, no, she does not, regardless of what the world says and how they try and ridicule her. Her beliefs are her beliefs, and she's completely entitled to that; BUT mom does need to accept and love on her son regardless of his lifestyle. Period!
true but I cant justify ignorance just because it was taught to someone though religion. Bigotry is still bigotry and this means she ha it for everyone who is gay, not just her son. Shes just willing to say shes open to learning about him for the sake of ending the conversation because she still didn't WANT to understand
It's not ignorance
Look up the definition of ignorance. She admits to not knowing about her son. She wasn’t open to it previously due to religion and her upbringing. So it is ignorance.
Agreed!
@@borntoservegod4852If she can’t sit down and tell her son how to properly protect himself if he chooses to have gay sex it’s “ignorance”. There is no getting around that. You can’t say you love someone and refuse to love, help and protect them that is a contradiction.
It's not easy for both, that's very difficult situation, especially for the mother who was raised in certain way in which she never lived that experience her own kid being gay. So Karamo did a good job
If you go "For my kids to be valuable, they need to have the same views as me" then don't have kids. You're unfit to be a parent. If you can't love/respect your child unconditionally, get a dog instead of having a kid.
This was so awesome 👍 I hope things get way better for them! Aloha from Hawaii...
You can tell the mother cares 🥺 and he cares too. Maybe it’s the way she was raised on love and taking care of 12 kids. I feel for both.
This guy is so right, it’s not a choice, I’m gay and I knew when I was 5. I wish I was straight, but what would a child know about sexuality when he’s 5. Who would choose to live a miserable life, and looked down on, and discriminated in public, directly or indirectly. I never came out to my family and never will. Cause nothing will change, telling people that I’m gay, it won’t make me straight, or pay mine or others bills, it will only waste my time, and others trying to explain to them about me, on the contrary people will talk about me, and I’ll be the source of entertainment, which I don’t want to happen, they can have other sources of entertainment on social media…
It’s definitely a choice bruh ! You went against what you said you said at 5 you were gay but then followed up saying what does a child know about sexuality in which you didn’t. Something happened to you simple as that it’s a choose to be gay 💯
It’s not a choice. Why would one choose knowing that they will be hated by others, it’s androgen(the male hormones) which are less, and there’s more estrogen(female hormone) in a human, when that boy will be attracted to the same sex. It’s science. Thats the reason why so many walk like girls and the girls act like men, cause they weren’t born with the right amount of hormones. If one is born with the right amount they will act straight humans, attracted to the opposite sex. I wish we could go inside our mothers wombs and put the right amount of hormones, just cause you’re born with the right amount, not everyone is born with the right amount. Google it, you’ll know about Androgen and estrogen. Some are born disabled, same thing some problems at birth, you’re not a doctor, ora. Scientist, but at least let’s know the basic facts, we learn some science in school, and I knew about male and female hormones at 13, in school. Probably you didn’t learn in your school. Let’s all get educated. Everyday we learn something new, so today before questioning someone do some study on internet about male and female hormones at birth.
Be grateful that you’re born with the right amount, not everyone is born healthy, some are born with disabilities. So I think this is a disability too, probably it can be fixed but would cost a lot to inject Androgen in a boy, which not everyone could afford, unless one is born to super rich parents..
If you don’t know, than don’t talk. We understand it more better when it happens to our own Families or someone close in our families is LGBTQ+, or else it’s easier to judge others, to treat people differently and showing hate, discrimination and disrespect. We’re living in a 🌍, when we point fingers at others when we’ve got our own mess to be cleaned. No one is perfect, probably the straight people do much worse things.
I meant to say, that I didn’t know why I was attracted to guys, when I had to be attracted to girls. It should come naturally, but it didn’t. We can’t like something artificially, it should come naturally , that attraction to sex is natural, it’s not made up, it’s the hormones, which play a major role.
