- Calum Scott says being abandoned by some of his friends after he came out was "traumatic" and led to him suppressing his sexuality for years afterward. Joining Attitude for My Pride, sponsored by United Airlines, the 'Biblical' singer also recounts his first Pride event.

That's a beautifully honest story - and with a lot of profound common sense in it. It made me happy to hear Calum is being himself and is better for it. That's the whole thing about Pride - you don't just take pride in yourself, you also get to smile as you take pride in someone else.
I concur with your sentiment 100%

I was today years old when I found out he’s gay, so I would like to personally thank the academy for the honor, to my parents for creating me in the same generation but most of all thank god for blessing us with such handsome and talented man. 🙌🏼
It was pretty obvious if you actually listened to his audition song, ngl. Watching you kiss "her", so either he's crushing on a lesbian or he's crushing on a straight guy. Or a bi, I suppose, but only Demi Lovato sings about those. Perhaps you assumed he was singing lyrics written for a straight woman, but then he says "I'm not the _guy_ you're taking home." So again, very obvious if you were actually listening.
I wanted to marry this guy ever since I saw him on America got talent, I never knew he was gay .
You make the world better for every one of us, Calum. You are loved.
I’m so glad Calum has found his tribe. You’ll always be part of our community. You belong here. 🙏❤️🏳️🌈

Great message! Thank you!
Hello Calum!If you are happy, that's the most important!We love you dearly!
The Power of Music is such a Powerful tool to express what you're feeling or going thru. We all can relate to a song in different ways. Calum's songs tell a story of what he went thru and we can really feel it as if we were going thru, it with him. Myself coming out in the late 80s, early 90s was a lot more scarier and not knowing what to expect or knowing what it was to be gay at the time. No as days it's somewhat more easier to come out since we have some many gay icons around and the support of other famous people and the most important ones are our family and close friends who understand and love us "No Matter What".
Dearest Calum….you talk so intelligently. You make a difference! I am so sorry for your past. It teaches me to be more open minded and kind.
The universe was showing off when you were made.
Your voice will give light and hope to those who struggle. You are beyond fabulous.
Kind deeds change Lives.

Admir you since first time seeing you sang Dancing on ny own at BGT . One of my favourite performer actually. Honestly, I'm glad you're happy with your life.😊
All the best to him
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am now even more excited to see your performance tomorrow in Taipei, Taiwan.
I'm all out since I was sixteen, but everyone can feel all alone in this world at times.
And those times are when small clips like this can really make a big difference.
I love you for your honesty, you being you, not matter what
Happy Pride Month from Indonesia. It's never wrong to love and be loved. Love is love
Colum, I will never forget the night you got up on EGT and sang dancing on my own and stunned the audience. However, you got one of the biggest standing ovations ever. Oh, how times have changed. There are more and more and more guys and gals now performing who are known to be gay and somehow, almost all of them are mega exceptional at what they do. I think they sing and those who write lyrics write lyrics from a deep deep place in their heart. "No Matter What" I pray has opened the minds and softened the hearts of parents of many Parents of gay children. For generations, parents have thrown their children to the wolfs because having a gay child embarrassed "them". They are under the stupid assumption that other stupid people will blame them for their child being Gay through bad parenting. Whatever happened to unconditional love? Then you came out with You Are The Reason It blew my mind !! What a beautiful piece of work. You sang it and looked so HOT singing it. Best of everything to you and your beautiful family.
Sledujem ťa, chlapec pekný od samého začiatku tvojej kariéry. Prajem veľa úspechov a ešte veľa krásnych piesní, ktoré pohladila naše srdiečka. Zita Pracharova, Slovakia.
This improved my day today so thank you and also I love your music❤️
Well it looks like he doesn’t struggle with money or housing !! So Honestly he is much better off than a lot of lgbtq housing right now. I’ve been “publically gay” for a decade and I really struggle with just affording a place to live. (I came out as soon as I turned 18- everyone already knew but it was public at that point) I apply to new jobs everyday too - it’s really hard. I hope he understands the privilege and support that he has ❤️like the shit I have to do for money just to afford the cheapest housing in the area .. it’s rediculous
Sorry that you are struggling - but not sure why you're trying to put the guilt on Calum Scott! Everyone has their own story and struggles, and he is no different. Try coming out 50 years ago, when no one was allowed to be GAY - you had to hide it from everyone, get married to someone you were never in love with, raise a family, all just to satisfy the parents/family, the Bishop/Pastor, and your co-workers! People shunned you if you came out, and you were turned down for jobs, if they thought you, were a Queer! You think you have it hard now.......its a cake walk, from what it used to be for those of us who grew up in the 50's and 60's!
@@kaywoolsey3722 Agree. And crazy that even in the early 1990's the legal age was 21.
@@kaywoolsey3722 Well said Kay, well said.
We completely understand what you are going through, however, employers only want employees these days who are excellent at their jobs. It doesn't matter what your sexuality is. Good honest hard workers that show up on time and perform as you would like them to perform if you were the employer should not be punished. If you remember why you were hired and are not embarrassing to the business you will never have trouble getting a job. Remember people don't hire you one way or the other. All they want are employees that are so good they would never fire them for being gay. Good luck to you bro.
Thank you for telling your own story to help those still suffering from society being not of love but, of judgment! I believe in loving the neighbor as thyself no matter what. Along with judge not lest ye be judge. It is no human being's business to place judgment on others because it tells me they are judging themselves for something! Plain and simple! Love is love!
Happy Pride month Calum, you have become a powerful role model, cant tell you how you have fired me up and inspired me to tell more of my own story, love your music and your Hull accent, a fabulous gentleman indeed, keep inspiring your fantastic .
Its been a year and about to be next pride month, this time its gonna be hella crazy, it will be very bad for lgbtq
@@DennisLuther-kr2ks I have become an LGBT
+ representative in the Poverty Truth Commission, have been banging on about the grotesque othering of our Trans brothers and Sisters, but you are correct things are alarmingly worse and reversing rather than advancing. Be proud and don't let ignorance win. Calum is a great and fearless ambassador for us all.
Happy for your beautiful ending Journey Calum Scott
Calum is one talented performer.
Being honest with yourself about your feelings is paramount if you have real friends they'll not worry about your sexual orientation your still that same friend they had before it's shouldn't be a gay persons problem it the straight persons problem why lose a great friend if you find out there gay it's crazy but hey our world is
I agree! I love people who they are, inside out! I’m straight, but my kids, and grand son are questioning things. I grew up where they didn’t talk about it. When my son was just a baby, people thought my kid would get aids in the water. His God father is gay, but that did not matter to me! I hate to say this but I have always been attracted to gay guys, it is because they are truthful. Plus they groom better, some guys are so messy. Anyways I am just realizing this today at age 60. Life changes you too, and there are always different stages even in love!
We love you Calum ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I am from Brazil. We love you, just the way you are.
💖I am sure Calum, that your are making a difference, and not just to the LGBTQ+ community, but to so many human beings. Who you are ,your songs, your openess, your humility, your empathy and your love ❤ A wonderful gift 🎁
❤ I still love you for who you are,and for what you bring to this world. ❤
Listen to hear the importance of pride events
Thank you Calum🤗
Love your music.
I love you Calum for the man you are and who you are 😊😊
I love him so happy he is being him!..Do wish he was least Bi 🤭😛❤️lol
thats so bad you were abandoned by your mates. i told my mates at 16 and they only ever supported me, but i guess i was lucky. my brother was known as a lad that you dont mess with, i think that helped me to be honest to not get bullied. think they realised wait there you can come from a very macho footballer family and for some reason, me the middle son, was gay and not afraid to say.
I’m gay. I’m attracted to men and I am turning twenty five years old. I went through so much religious trauma ever since I seventeen years ago and I am still struggling but I so badly want to be myself and am struggling. I want a romantic relationship with a man but I was treated really badly by a lot of Christians and other religious people. I don’t want to be ashamed. I want to be myself. It’s just hard for me because of what I have went through for eight years.
I love you Calum. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oooh 😯
I LOVE 💘💗♥ YOU NO MATTER WHAT
J'ai l'impression de vous déranger quand j'écoute une de vos chanson. Je sais pas pourquoi mais c'est ce que je ressent et je sais pas se que vous imaginé ...Vous avez une voix superbe mais bon je veux pas vous déranger d'avantage.
Soulmate love ligh soctt missing you❤
As a mom of 3 queer kids, your "No Metter What" song hits me hard every time. My husband and I have always been very open, loving and accepting of whoever they are. I made a definite point about that when my husband and I met because I saw the hell & trauma my aunt went through as a lesbian in our (then) devout Catholic family. I NEVER wanted ANYONE to go through what I witnessed her go through since I was a young child. My now husband was of the exact same mindset from the start. It may seem weird to some but literally when our 1st was born we just knew. Even with all the openness, support & love he was still scared to officially "come out" to us....that broke our hearts. He tells is it really wasn't us who were at the heart of his fears....it was society, but that fear was there nonetheless. Us Moms & Dads can love & accept the living sh¡t out of our kids - and that DOES make a BIG difference - BUT society as a whole NEEDS to get with the love & acceptance as well. It's FAR past time..... regardless of who your own kid is....just fu©kin' love & accept people for who they are!!! Why is this so hard for far too many in this day & age???
Those “friends” loss
❤❤❤
Honey I love you 💕😘❤️ and I’d give my life to save yours in a heartbeat as your soulmate I will love you for man that you have become you know and you know ❤❤❤
Ughhh please hide under my bed & sing to me at night
Ctead choose divine❤ world❤
Don't be discouraged.
I can do you.
You think. You are happy now?
For me, my concern is, ..... deep in your heart after all those revelations are you really happy? Do you really feel the joy in your heart if you're alone in your room or in any place on earth that is silent and no one is around? If your answer is still yes, someone is lacking. And, if no, you knew there is always a chance to be happy.
I wish you all the best, sir Calum. God bless you.
💜🌈💜

hot
Forget my English .
Being gay is like being disabled; everybody bugger's off in a flash. I'm both.
Unfortunately it can be like that for some of us. It's lonely alright...

CHUBBY AND CUTE
Chubby?
I have a feeling you don’t know the meaning of chubby. Calum is not! Watch a video of him performing in one of his suits. Perfection!
❤️❤️❤️
