i really liked robin's coming out scene because you could literally feel the overwhelming relief that poured out of her after her and steve had that moment
My favorite part of the Victor coming out story/scenes was Luther making a big deal of it because he wanted him to feel accepted. Diego: “Luther wants to throw you a stupid party so you feel loved. Do you feel loved?” Victor: “Um, yeah?” Diego: “Okay good.” [paraphrased, don’t remember the exact lines]
I also appreciate even when Allison was being a bitch and going after Victor, she never targeted his identity. It could be so easy, and clique, to show how horrible a person is being. But they don’t.
It was so fun to see the two types of people: the friends who accept it and are chill, and the awkward allies who want to be supportive but make it awkward 😄 And it was SO REFRESHING that even the antagonists didn't misgender him, it would be such an easy thing to do from lesser writers.
@anime.fan007 They had fun with the reactions to Victor coming out, but not at his expense. Five, Diego and Klaus are totally chill and Luther wants to make it a big exciting deal. Diego to Victor: "Luther wants to throw you a big stupid party so you feel loved. Do you feel loved?" "Yeah. I do." "Good. You are." It's just the best reaction!
luther wanting to throw a “we love you even as a boy” party for victor warmed my heart so much. awkward well-meaning allyship is one of my favorite things in media, and it was a nice character moment for luther too:)
I loved the Stranger Things scene with Steve and Robin. In about half a second, you can see a dozen emotions run across Steve's face, and *none* of them are even remotely hateful. You can see him, in that half second, stagger because of a little crack forming in his heart - and then, just as quickly, decide that he cares so much for Robin that yeah, friends is just as good, especially knowing she trusted him with such a dangerous thing for the 80s.
Nick's coming out scene in my opinion is by far sooo life changing for many and therefore it feels powerful and heartwarming and so that show was top tier ❤♥️❤️
Also Nick's coming out scene was probably not only Nick's but the actors first time coming out to someone while at the time we didn't know that we know that now, he probably applied his acting skills but also some personal parts of his life into the scene. It probably meant a lot to Kit as he is actually bisexual. ❤️♥️❤️
five's reaction to viktor coming out is essentially "i'm happy for you, viktor. really. ...but you STILL don't get to decide-" and he just jumps right back into arguing lmao. all 3 of their reactions were very clearly like - they don't care, not in a rude way, but because viktor is their brother and they don't really mind how he identifies so long as he's happy. as a transmasc who loves umbrella academy, i bawled like a baby. umbrella academy is really good at quick, casual coming out scenes, i think. it doesn't usually get counted but i always think of the scene in season 1 of diego and klaus talking about dave - "what was her name?" "HIS name was dave." and diego pauses, and looks at him with this searching kind of look, and then goes "...well he must've been crazy to put up with you" (paraphrased) in that gentle, teasing sibling sorta way. i remember being SO happy watching that scene, because it was never a big deal that klaus loved a man, even when he had to directly correct diego. umbrella academy is great.
I would love a part 2! Here are some shows with coming out scenes: -Kipo and the age of wonderbeasts -One day at a time -Schitt's Creek -Dawson's Creek -Crazy Ex-Girlfriend -Supergirl (Alex's coming out) -Supergirl (Nia's coming out) -Batwoman -Glee (Santana's coming out) -Glee (Kurt's coming out) -The bold type -BoJack horseman -Pretty little liars -Good girls -Buffy the vampire slayer -Station 19 -Anne with an e -Degrassi -Love, Simon -Love, Victor -The haunting of hill house -Stranger things (Will's coming out, even do it wasn't explicit)
The only reason why the owl scene was so short and without words is just because Disney cut the 3rd season and basically the whole show short😶 But generally the Owl house is big on representation of all kinds
@Lauren Elloise you really should because it is totally worth it. The first season seems a little slow but it all ties into the later seasons. It's definitely a show I personally won't ever forget
I know it wasn't on here but I liked the coming out of Kurt in Glee. Because even tho hes always been very flamboyant, he was nervous coming out to his very masculine single father. Even pretending to he a football player to make him proud. He was nervous coming out to him. And when he did, his father said he already knew, but what I liked about that, is that even though his father knew, he allowed his son to come out on his own time. He Even said he wasn't totally crazy about the idea, He'll love him either way, which I feel like it's very realistic. The whole show after that showed them both getting more comfortable with eachother in that aspect! I felt like Kurt's relationships with his dad was very well written!
Actually, the very first gay character in television was Jodie in Soap, which came out in 1977. He says he's Homosexual quite often. The scene with his brother, Danny, started out to be really sad but turned out to be really sweet. It's arguably the most important coming out scene ever, as it was the first.
Interesting, thanks for sharing this!! I will have a read into it! 🖤 Ellen was definitely one of the first in American Television to come out as gay and one of the most widely known / significant moments. Ellen Morgan (the character) became the first openly homosexual series star, which was as a breakthrough. I definitely wanna learn some more about the pre-90s Gay tv characters, maybe it came become another video we do
@@laurenelloise. I absolutely love Jodie in Soap. The first cannon gay character in history. But Ellen's was important too. Because it still wasn't really seen on TV yet. It was few and far between. You should also check out Tara and Willow's story in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, also in the 90's. Willow's coming out scene was sweet.
My favorite lgbtqia coming out scene is from Netflix series Atypical. Sam is autistic and his sister hesitates to come out and Sam liked penguins and relates to them. He comforted his sister by telling her about the gay penguin couple in California that hatched a penguin chick together. It was so cute and loved that part.
I really love Owl House because of how well they integrated a possible girl-girl-relationship into the whole show like it was the most normal thing just like any other kids show with any other crush of the protagonist (I especially think of the episode with the ball and the monster under the school.).
16:01 nooo don’t hate on Rosa! That scene means the world to me! Watching it before I came out, it was the first time I’d heard a character in a TV show say the word bisexual, and be direct about their bi identity. I still feel emotional every time I watch it 🥹
Earlier in Never Have I Ever I liked when Fab (who really likes robots and coding) coded the robot she built to say “I’m gay” because she wasn’t able to say it herself out loud yet and I love how it combined her interests into the scene and was sort of like she was speaking through the robot
robins coming out scene was literally one of my fav scenes in season 3 of stranger things. that scene, the hospital monster scene and the mall bit in episode 2 with max and el are my fav scenes defo.
You have literally helped me so much. I was really struggling with my sexuality, and I really needed some help. Like an angel, you showed up on my youtube page. You have helped me be comfortable in myself. Now I love watching your videos. Can't wait to see more videos. Btw, are you and her married yet?
Ahhh tysm for all the suggestions!! I freaking loved making this video 🌈 What scenes are a MUST have for a part 2?? DONT FORGET TO CHECK OUT NEW MERCH shop.laurenelloise.com/
Glee (Santana coming out to her grandmother or Kurt coming out to his dad), Greys Anatomy (Callie coming out to her dad), Supergirl (Alex coming out to Kara and her mom), Kipo (Benson coming out to Kipo) sry I have a few
Oh, I love the Atypical one Penguins is a hiperfocus of Sam, so he comparing them to a penguin couple is really cute and personal And if i'm not mistaken (it has been a while since I watched it), later he gives Casey a sketch he drew of the penguin couple
I love Robin's scene because it's sincere, a little funny at times and sweet. I love Steve's reaction as well haha Seriously, the reaction we always want when we come out
I would rate Ellen, mainly because of the historic context of that scene 7 stars. It was so important representation at the time. Also 7 stars from me to Stranger Things, Heartstopper and Atypical. I also love Never Have I Ever (excited to start watching season 3), but would give it 6 stars. Personally I would suggest Callie's (Grey's Anatomy) confrontation scene with her father: th-cam.com/video/3C3N5KY4N3k/w-d-xo.html
Yes. However badly Ellen has aged as a person, that scene was huge. Basically got her show cancelled and sidelined her career for over ten years, but opened up other shows to even try on mainstream networks. Enormous impact.
One of my favorite coming out scenes of all time is from an anime called "Stars Align". As a transmasc person, I relate so much to the scene and really appreciate the obvious care that was put into it, especially because it is so difficult to find good trans representation in anime (and in general). I also have a very personal connection to this scene because I watched it before I knew I was trans and ended up showing it to my mom and telling her how much I loved it. That was the first time my mom asked me if I might be trans or nonbinary. I didn't come out to her that day, as I wasn't even out to myself, but that one moment served as a catalyst for my journey in discovering my gender identity, all while knowing that my mom would be there to support me when I was ready. Here's a link to the scene: th-cam.com/video/1P3rRNNO5uw/w-d-xo.html
Lauren you have helped me alot and ive watched your context for a lil over a year and ive really come in touch with my self and discovering that I am Bisexual, although my parents didnt take it to well I will always have your content to cheer me up thank you sooooo much for making content that changed my life and many other ppls lives.
You’re awesome! I went through a similar process when discovering I was pansexual. Your feelings are completely real and you deserve to be accepted and supported! ❤
One of my friends found out I was gay and this what they said “Hi, I know you like a girl. I’m okay with that and I’m so sorry I said queers where bad, I just have never met a queer that was so amazing, funny, nice, and caring as you. I just don’t want you to feel like you have to keep anything from me. This won’t ruin our friendship. I’ll always have your back. You can always talk to me whenever you need it…I’m sorry… I’m sorry you couldn’t be friends if I knew.” I thought it was super sweet and wanted to share it with you :) AND OFC were still friends :)
Willow and Tara on Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a big deal for its time as well. And although the show as a whole isn't great, I always liked Alex's coming out on Supergirl. It feels very realistic, and she talks about her failure to realize it or repressing it when she was younger, which I know many people can relate to.
Thanks, I enjoyed this. What I loved about the Heartstopper scene was that you could feel that her inner reaction to “it’s called bisexuality” was “yeah, your generation didn’t invent this stuff”. Which is what I also thought a few times while watching this video with all of the talk about older people, which definitely includes me ;)
Willows coming out scene to Buffy! For a show that started in the 90s, it was a huge moment in television to have a main character who was “straight” at the beginning coming out to her best friend because she fell in love with a woman. It was a pure and honest portrayal of LGBT representation, especially for it’s time. Truly changed LGBTQ+ television forever.
They would have probably rated it higher if they had watched the show. The way that Luz and Amity went from almost enemies (at least from Amity's side), to friends, to a huge crush (Grom!!!) to girlfriends is just too cute, and the only reason they did such a short coming out scene with Camila was because the show had been cut out by the darn mouse and I just hate it so much!! This show deserved so much better, and everyone should watch it!
@@MattCannady Eda's curse can symbolize so many things, from a disability to self acceptance...and Papa Titan was oh so cool 😻 wish you the best, and I hope that you won't have any problem, I don't know where you live but I hear that the situation in many states is unsafe, hope that this is not your case and that you are able to express yourself at your full potential 💚 I myself feel pretty strongly connectet to Willow, but mostly for her growth, going from insecurity to self assurance but being there for others...my road is still long, but I hope I'll be able to see myself as such a strong character! 😊
@@annalisalundberg4561 thank you. Glad to have moved recently from Texas back up to Michigan. Willow is a good study in self confidence, doubt, imposter syndrome, and friendship. Good luck out there!
oh and young royals season 2 speech scene in the last episode of the season is also a coming out scene!! it's amazing but I think you need context of the whole show to get it. Still I really recommend it!
ACtually my favourite coming out scene is with Robin, bc it shows how trylu difficult is being a lesbian in their timeline and it pushes to develop of Steve and Robin's friendship which I absolutelly adore bc they are so funny and cute! And like maybe it's also my favourite bc the first person she comes out to (besides her parents) is the guy she was jealous of. AND YES I watched Heartstopler and it was cute, but there was something that the coimng oit scene in Stranger tThings was better than in Heartstopper and I actually don't like coimng out in never have I ever, but her realisation by robot was so good. Amd Atypical was so aforable too I love it how Sam was umderstable bc I hate how they made in The good doctor Shawn like homophobic for this girl it annoyed me bc not all autistic people are homophobic and I love that how they support eachother like Casey amnd Sam are so cute together so it's mine favourite coming out at second place. Xo Kitty was also cool but I understand the girl who gave her 5 hearts I would do it too. I need to watch Brooklyn nine-nine really
I think you mean Shaun was transphobic, I don't think there was any instance he was homophobic, as the girl was trans but Shaun kept misgendering her, and while I think the good doctor isn't a great show or representation (like it's ok but not that good in my opinion as an autistic person), Shaun's whole arc that episode is about understanding her and at the end of the episode a family member brings pink flowers Shaun says "Quinn doesn't like pink, she's more of purple girl." and goes to a pool and floats on top of the water bc that's how she described what it felt like to finally be able to be herself to be a girl.
As a baby bi who hasn't come out to my family just a few close friends, it is just very relaxing to settle in and watch some gay shit ❤❤❤ Love you both and happy pride month 🥰
ahh you should have included the scene where she comes out at work and allows them 1 minute of questions. it's so iconic i assumed that was the bit you would be reacting to but the scenes with her parents are definitely more serious so i see why you chose them :)
honestly ians coming out in shameless us are great to lip and fiona are so great in so diferent ways and also in shameless mickeys coming out was like so awaited that when he finally did was very impactful
Heartstopper helped me so much in my journey to knowing myself! I really enjoyed this video, thank you for the amazing work you do! Would definitely watch the second part! ❤
Heartstopper was so idek the words but so comforting to watch 5 years after coming out. I could feel the pain but also the happiness in it too. Was such a good show. Thanks so watching! 💖 10/10 gotta do a part 2
@@laurenelloise I agree, it's really comforting to watch! I'm glad to know there's gonna be a second part of this video, thank you again and have a nice day! ✨
I would love a part 2!! I remember a coming out scene in an animated tv show I watched when I was younger, the show is called Kipo and the age of wonderbeasts :D I love that show, it actually has a nonbinary character, a gay character, and a pansexual character. It also has a pretty diverse cast in general, with the main character being biracial herself (and in my opinion she gives huge bi vibes too, but it's not confirmed)
That was really lovely. Thank you for sharing this. As an old gay, I really appreciate the opportunity to see videos from the next generation and your thoughts. You folks are wonderful. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. ❤❤
Saddd i was hoping to see Marco's come out scene in Degrassi. You have to keep in mind the show aired in the early 00's and the idea of a gay character in the MAIN cast was nearly unheard of, particularly for a drama aimed at teens, not to mention it was a pent up of emotions not just from the character but the person he comes out to and everyone's varying reactions as a result. Really the whole plot related to it is gut wrenching (triggering but it does have a happy end). Also emotional because at the time the actor was also grappling with his sexuality and persued him to eventually come out. There are a lot of good coming out scenes in the show, like Adam discovered to be trans, Miles coming out as bisexual, Yael realizing they're enby, etc
I loved your video! if you're considering filming part two, I would recommend reacting to Isak's coming out scene from season three of Skam Norway, it's my favourite of all time
I was so upset at first when Robin came out because I was shipping her and Steve so hard! But now I’m actually loving their “plutonic with a capital P” relationship lol. And her coming out scene is so cute!!
My daughter coming out was when she was 14 and had this special friend on sleepovers but she had to sleep on the floor because my daughters bed was very narrow. One day my daughter came to me and tell me we have to go to IKEA to buy her a wider bed so Milla dosen't have to sleep on the floor anymore. While we were at IKEA I asked dos she want me to buy a wider blanket allso and is this something she wants to tell me? Her smile told me everything. We end up buying not only the bed and blanket but very wide cushion and all kinds of sheets. Never seen my daughter happyer.
for b99 it definitely fits her character and the humor of the show. there's also a scene where she comes out to her colleagues and its a very funny, sweet scene.
Willow coming out to Buffy in Buffy the Vampire Slayer is very good. Also, the scene where Sterling and April come out to each other in Teenage Bounty Hunters (also the scene where Sterling comes out to her sister Baily), and also She-Ra. [edit] almost forgot Faking It, both the scenes where Amy comes out to Shane, and the scene where she comes out to Karma.
I did get pretty upset at it, but Victor’s coming out scene in Love Victor really impacted me. Not because it’s wholesome, but because it isn’t. It’s an actual realistic coming out to your conservative parents scenario, similar to Yuri’s in XO, Kitty. But it’s okay because his parents finally come around, after like a whole season ahaha
Hey Lauren I loved this video. Would love to see a part 2. XO Kitty is worth watching. It's so good. All the coming out scenes you shown was super cute. Can't wait to see more. Have a great day ❤ Always stay you and stay safe
Please add Warrior Nun for part 2. Sister Beatrice's heartfelt scene with Ava is probably the best coming out scene i've seen and she didn't even directly came out and of course the best response from Ava after the fact is just so pure and lovely.
For the owl house, the girlfriend is the one with the purple hair. The girl coming out’s name is Luz and her girlfriend with the purple hair’s name is Amity that’s where Lumity comes from. It’s such a cute show it’s actually my favorite you should watch it
You should also watch "This is Us" when Tess comes out. I use to watch that scene over and over again when I was trying to convince myself to come out to my parents.
Despite what that short scene might make you think The Owl House might be in my top 3 lesbian relationships on tv, and also one of the most realistic relationships on tv in general, and somehow they managed to air almost 3 seasons of this super gay show on Disney of all places before being forced to rap things up in a 3 episode 3rd season. (Still managed to make a satisfying finale btw.)
The character of Adira Tal in "Star Trek: Discovery" had a touching coming out scene as non-binary. They have a conversation i have had myself many times.
at the beginning when you put the video of some of the comments i saw someone said ted lasso. you should totally watch that one because it’s so good. ❤️❤️
Lauren, you helped me so much when I was coming to terms with my sexuality a couple of years ago! Only now stumbling back across you and this video was the cutest ☺️
I see that some have suggested Alex Danvers of Supergirl. The episode where she comes out to her sister, Kara, aka Supergirl, is 2x06. The one where she comes out to her mom is 2x08. For Nia it's over a few fourth season episodes, with 4x19 being when her superhero persona came out as trans. As far as The Owl House coming out being so short, it's due to the series being cut short so they had to wrap up their story over 3 episodes. That was in a montage at the beginning of the first of those three episodes.
I will never not love how Steve reacts to Robin being gay. I mean, its the eighties when it still wasn't talked about (it was literally only declassified as a mental illness like, ten years before in their time). He doesnt care, hes just upset about her taste in girls. Hes so sweet and welcoming to her after getting over his initial confusion, whichbia fair.
There’s a sitcom from the 80s called Night Court and in one of the first seasons a character is excited to see an old friend who turns out to be trans. The show handled it fairly well considering it’s time
Thing is The Owl House was cut short since it got cancelled, if it weren't cancelled I highly doubt that it would be short considering they had to squeeze a lot of important things in the show in season 3 since there were only 3 episodes. If it were longer I am pretty sure there would be a whole episode about her coming out including help her friends with their own sexualities (Since 4/6 members of their small gang are queer). I was quite hoping for it to be higher, but 5 seems fair for a short amount of time. The show has a huge part in the LGBTQ community, cause most of the characters you stumble upon are part of the LGBTQ. Like literally Luz who's bisexual and so is Eda. And it continues from there haha.
My favourite line is Five's line cut off. He says 'Truly hapoy for you Viktor'. As for the scene, Elliot came out after the entire season was already written. He was willing to keep playing Viktor as a woman if that was what the showrunner felt was right. Instead Steve chose to have him transition but also recognised his lack of understanding as a cis man and worked with Elliot and other trans writers to write the vatious scenes. You say this doesnt explain it enough, which I'd argue isnt the show's job, but theres further scenes, including his coming out yo Allison which does explain it more.
I think my favorite part of the Owl House one, having seen the show, is *minor spoilers cause it mentiones stuff that happens in Ep1 and is the really the entire premise of the show* The girl giving the display, Luz, and her girlfriend met in another world where they've been dating for awhile. They didn't have to explain it or even consider explaining it to *anyone* there. It was just kinda accepted by everyone who knew, no questions. The moment they got back to the human world though she had to go through the whole awkward, concerned display which was, due to cutting the show (sad nerd noises) early just a part of the intro for one episode in the last season. Still really cute though
PART 2 IS UPPPPPP!!!!! 🏳🌈➡th-cam.com/video/SFaQRQYa3aY/w-d-xo.html
Hi have a question I want to ask
you shod do evring suks

the owl house scene would've been much longer and more detailed, but disney cut the show short so they didn't really have time to fit it in 😭
ughh this hurts BUT its still so cool that they included it none the less!
@@laurenelloise Neverless, the relationship between Luz and Amity is probably the best teenage relationship in kids cartoons, be it gay or straight.
My parents are homophobic’s and furry haters, so yeah if I told them anything about my self, that I am bisexual and a furry, they would disown me 😅😢.
I kinda like that is wasn't a big scene
i will neverrr forgive disney for canceling it
i really liked robin's coming out scene because you could literally feel the overwhelming relief that poured out of her after her and steve had that moment
AGREE. cant give this scene enough credit
I love how comfortable Steve was talking about fanciable girls with Robin. It was such a quick turnaround from 'oh my crush is gay'.
"She returned fast times paused at 53.05! Do you know who pauses fast times at 53.05? People who like BOOBIES!"
YES! i loved that, and fit so well with his character
"I like titties, u like titties!"
My favorite part of the Victor coming out story/scenes was Luther making a big deal of it because he wanted him to feel accepted.
Diego: “Luther wants to throw you a stupid party so you feel loved. Do you feel loved?”
Victor: “Um, yeah?”
Diego: “Okay good.”
[paraphrased, don’t remember the exact lines]
I also appreciate even when Allison was being a bitch and going after Victor, she never targeted his identity. It could be so easy, and clique, to show how horrible a person is being. But they don’t.
It was so fun to see the two types of people: the friends who accept it and are chill, and the awkward allies who want to be supportive but make it awkward 😄
And it was SO REFRESHING that even the antagonists didn't misgender him, it would be such an easy thing to do from lesser writers.
Luther is literally the living version of a golden retriever puppy
@anime.fan007 They had fun with the reactions to Victor coming out, but not at his expense.
Five, Diego and Klaus are totally chill and Luther wants to make it a big exciting deal.
Diego to Victor:
"Luther wants to throw you a big stupid party so you feel loved. Do you feel loved?"
"Yeah. I do."
"Good. You are."
It's just the best reaction!
luther wanting to throw a “we love you even as a boy” party for victor warmed my heart so much. awkward well-meaning allyship is one of my favorite things in media, and it was a nice character moment for luther too:)
YES i loved that addition!
Why did it take me a moment for me to know that this is from tua
Especially since he was such a jerkass to Viktor in the first season, both their character growths are immaculate
I loved the Stranger Things scene with Steve and Robin. In about half a second, you can see a dozen emotions run across Steve's face, and *none* of them are even remotely hateful. You can see him, in that half second, stagger because of a little crack forming in his heart - and then, just as quickly, decide that he cares so much for Robin that yeah, friends is just as good, especially knowing she trusted him with such a dangerous thing for the 80s.
That's what I was going to say, the softness and complexity in that expression was on HELL of a piece of acting. There's so much sympathy in it.
Nick's coming out scene in my opinion is by far sooo life changing for many and therefore it feels powerful and heartwarming and so that show was top tier ❤♥️❤️
i agree 10100%. i was really moved when i watched it the first time.
I sobbed the whole time
for me the best coming out scene was Elena in 'One day at a time', it was so sweet with her mother.
so true. i love one day at a time
Even better was the gran’s reaction. That whole scene was so good!
I've watched one day at a time so many times and the way they handle it is so real and good, I love that show so much
my favorite was Abuelita processing Elena being gay haha
might have to check this one out for a part 2.....
my gay awakening was heartstopper i LOVE it so much and i cannot wait for the second season in August

Also Nick's coming out scene was probably not only Nick's but the actors first time coming out to someone while at the time we didn't know that we know that now, he probably applied his acting skills but also some personal parts of his life into the scene. It probably meant a lot to Kit as he is actually bisexual. ❤️♥️❤️

five's reaction to viktor coming out is essentially "i'm happy for you, viktor. really. ...but you STILL don't get to decide-" and he just jumps right back into arguing lmao. all 3 of their reactions were very clearly like - they don't care, not in a rude way, but because viktor is their brother and they don't really mind how he identifies so long as he's happy. as a transmasc who loves umbrella academy, i bawled like a baby.
umbrella academy is really good at quick, casual coming out scenes, i think. it doesn't usually get counted but i always think of the scene in season 1 of diego and klaus talking about dave - "what was her name?" "HIS name was dave." and diego pauses, and looks at him with this searching kind of look, and then goes "...well he must've been crazy to put up with you" (paraphrased) in that gentle, teasing sibling sorta way. i remember being SO happy watching that scene, because it was never a big deal that klaus loved a man, even when he had to directly correct diego. umbrella academy is great.
For the umbrella academy scene Five does have a line he says “we’re truly happy for you Viktor” and it’s the most heart warming line ever
thats right! its been too long since i watched the show haha

The only reason why the owl scene was so short and without words is just because Disney cut the 3rd season and basically the whole show short😶
But generally the Owl house is big on representation of all kinds
That’s so sad 😭 but so good they try and do lots of representation! I really wanna watch it
@Lauren Elloise you really should because it is totally worth it.
The first season seems a little slow but it all ties into the later seasons.
It's definitely a show I personally won't ever forget
I know it wasn't on here but I liked the coming out of Kurt in Glee. Because even tho hes always been very flamboyant, he was nervous coming out to his very masculine single father. Even pretending to he a football player to make him proud. He was nervous coming out to him. And when he did, his father said he already knew, but what I liked about that, is that even though his father knew, he allowed his son to come out on his own time. He Even said he wasn't totally crazy about the idea, He'll love him either way, which I feel like it's very realistic. The whole show after that showed them both getting more comfortable with eachother in that aspect! I felt like Kurt's relationships with his dad was very well written!
burt hummel was consistently the best character on glee by farrrrrr
Actually, the very first gay character in television was Jodie in Soap, which came out in 1977. He says he's Homosexual quite often. The scene with his brother, Danny, started out to be really sad but turned out to be really sweet. It's arguably the most important coming out scene ever, as it was the first.
Interesting, thanks for sharing this!! I will have a read into it! 🖤 Ellen was definitely one of the first in American Television to come out as gay and one of the most widely known / significant moments. Ellen Morgan (the character) became the first openly homosexual series star, which was as a breakthrough. I definitely wanna learn some more about the pre-90s Gay tv characters, maybe it came become another video we do
@@laurenelloise. I absolutely love Jodie in Soap. The first cannon gay character in history. But Ellen's was important too. Because it still wasn't really seen on TV yet. It was few and far between. You should also check out Tara and Willow's story in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, also in the 90's. Willow's coming out scene was sweet.
I miss with the HEARTSTOPPER one they cut the line when after all that she said "Charlie's still not coming with us to the holidays" 😂😂😂
My favorite lgbtqia coming out scene is from Netflix series Atypical. Sam is autistic and his sister hesitates to come out and Sam liked penguins and relates to them. He comforted his sister by telling her about the gay penguin couple in California that hatched a penguin chick together. It was so cute and loved that part.
Agreed!
DON'T let anyone make u feel ashamed. Be who you are.
excellent words
I really love Owl House because of how well they integrated a possible girl-girl-relationship into the whole show like it was the most normal thing just like any other kids show with any other crush of the protagonist (I especially think of the episode with the ball and the monster under the school.).
The heart stopper scene is so good 🥺🥺 gets me every time I see it
me too fam
16:01 nooo don’t hate on Rosa! That scene means the world to me! Watching it before I came out, it was the first time I’d heard a character in a TV show say the word bisexual, and be direct about their bi identity. I still feel emotional every time I watch it 🥹
Earlier in Never Have I Ever I liked when Fab (who really likes robots and coding) coded the robot she built to say “I’m gay” because she wasn’t able to say it herself out loud yet and I love how it combined her interests into the scene and was sort of like she was speaking through the robot
I just love Robin, I love that we get to see more scenes like this in shows and movies
robins coming out scene was literally one of my fav scenes in season 3 of stranger things. that scene, the hospital monster scene and the mall bit in episode 2 with max and el are my fav scenes defo.
The one from Brooklyn nine nine is how so many Hispanic parents react to coming out, it’s sad but true and I love how it was portrayed.
You have literally helped me so much. I was really struggling with my sexuality, and I really needed some help. Like an angel, you showed up on my youtube page. You have helped me be comfortable in myself. Now I love watching your videos. Can't wait to see more videos. Btw, are you and her married yet?
aww this is so sweet. im so happy that ive been able to help you. a lil 💗 and not yet hahah 👀
@@laurenelloise thanks!!! Y'all are so cute together❤️❤️
The Heartstopper coming out scene broke me cuz I know I will never get any support from my mom if I came out to her 💔
Can we acknowledge how supportive Gal Pal is with Laurens channel? It really shows how much she really does love Lauren.
she’s so cute! And I love how she’s so passionate in this video, because she loves the film world. I’m so grateful and lucky for her 🌈💖😭
Ahhh tysm for all the suggestions!! I freaking loved making this video 🌈 What scenes are a MUST have for a part 2?? DONT FORGET TO CHECK OUT NEW MERCH shop.laurenelloise.com/
You should do one day at a time that has a really good coming out scene
Also Jodie fosters coming out speech
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Shameless is a need 😁
Glee (Santana coming out to her grandmother or Kurt coming out to his dad), Greys Anatomy (Callie coming out to her dad), Supergirl (Alex coming out to Kara and her mom), Kipo (Benson coming out to Kipo) sry I have a few
the “oh baby” in hesrtstopper ALWAYS makes me cry. ALWAAAYYYYYYSSSSSS. like the line delivery is just so. and like oh my god it’s so sweet
Oh, I love the Atypical one
Penguins is a hiperfocus of Sam, so he comparing them to a penguin couple is really cute and personal
And if i'm not mistaken (it has been a while since I watched it), later he gives Casey a sketch he drew of the penguin couple
Suggestions for part 2:
Santana coming out to her grandma in Glee
Cyrus comes out to his friend in Andi Mack
YES CYRUS COMING OUT WAS MY GAY AWAKENING
I love Robin's scene because it's sincere, a little funny at times and sweet. I love Steve's reaction as well haha
Seriously, the reaction we always want when we come out
I would rate Ellen, mainly because of the historic context of that scene 7 stars. It was so important representation at the time.
Also 7 stars from me to Stranger Things, Heartstopper and Atypical. I also love Never Have I Ever (excited to start watching season 3), but would give it 6 stars.
Personally I would suggest Callie's (Grey's Anatomy) confrontation scene with her father: th-cam.com/video/3C3N5KY4N3k/w-d-xo.html
Yes. However badly Ellen has aged as a person, that scene was huge. Basically got her show cancelled and sidelined her career for over ten years, but opened up other shows to even try on mainstream networks. Enormous impact.
One of my favorite coming out scenes of all time is from an anime called "Stars Align". As a transmasc person, I relate so much to the scene and really appreciate the obvious care that was put into it, especially because it is so difficult to find good trans representation in anime (and in general). I also have a very personal connection to this scene because I watched it before I knew I was trans and ended up showing it to my mom and telling her how much I loved it. That was the first time my mom asked me if I might be trans or nonbinary. I didn't come out to her that day, as I wasn't even out to myself, but that one moment served as a catalyst for my journey in discovering my gender identity, all while knowing that my mom would be there to support me when I was ready. Here's a link to the scene: th-cam.com/video/1P3rRNNO5uw/w-d-xo.html
Also yes, I did name myself after Charlie Spring from Heartstopper.
Oh my god I love that show, and especially that scene. It’s so underrated haha.
That anime is amazing!
Lauren you have helped me alot and ive watched your context for a lil over a year and ive really come in touch with my self and discovering that I am Bisexual, although my parents didnt take it to well I will always have your content to cheer me up thank you sooooo much for making content that changed my life and many other ppls lives.
You’re awesome! I went through a similar process when discovering I was pansexual. Your feelings are completely real and you deserve to be accepted and supported! ❤
I LOVVVEEEE the Heartstopper coming out scene, I feel like Kit Connor’s acting was top notch, plus it’s very similar to my experience with my family.
One of my friends found out I was gay and this what they said “Hi, I know you like a girl. I’m okay with that and I’m so sorry I said queers where bad, I just have never met a queer that was so amazing, funny, nice, and caring as you. I just don’t want you to feel like you have to keep anything from me. This won’t ruin our friendship. I’ll always have your back. You can always talk to me whenever you need it…I’m sorry… I’m sorry you couldn’t be friends if I knew.” I thought it was super sweet and wanted to share it with you :) AND OFC were still friends :)
That's so sweet❤
Willow and Tara on Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a big deal for its time as well. And although the show as a whole isn't great, I always liked Alex's coming out on Supergirl. It feels very realistic, and she talks about her failure to realize it or repressing it when she was younger, which I know many people can relate to.
Five says he’s happy for viktor and then they continue to argue 😂
Thanks, I enjoyed this.
What I loved about the Heartstopper scene was that you could feel that her inner reaction to “it’s called bisexuality” was “yeah, your generation didn’t invent this stuff”. Which is what I also thought a few times while watching this video with all of the talk about older people, which definitely includes me ;)
Willows coming out scene to Buffy! For a show that started in the 90s, it was a huge moment in television to have a main character who was “straight” at the beginning coming out to her best friend because she fell in love with a woman. It was a pure and honest portrayal of LGBT representation, especially for it’s time. Truly changed LGBTQ+ television forever.
The owl house is the best!!!!!
The girlfriend is the best character in the show!!!!!💜💜💜💜
Elen
They would have probably rated it higher if they had watched the show. The way that Luz and Amity went from almost enemies (at least from Amity's side), to friends, to a huge crush (Grom!!!) to girlfriends is just too cute, and the only reason they did such a short coming out scene with Camila was because the show had been cut out by the darn mouse and I just hate it so much!! This show deserved so much better, and everyone should watch it!
yep, flip disney for canceling it
@@annalisalundberg4561 Crikey! Being trans NB I related to Eda's curse and King's "King AND Queen, best of both things"
@@MattCannady Eda's curse can symbolize so many things, from a disability to self acceptance...and Papa Titan was oh so cool 😻 wish you the best, and I hope that you won't have any problem, I don't know where you live but I hear that the situation in many states is unsafe, hope that this is not your case and that you are able to express yourself at your full potential 💚 I myself feel pretty strongly connectet to Willow, but mostly for her growth, going from insecurity to self assurance but being there for others...my road is still long, but I hope I'll be able to see myself as such a strong character! 😊
@@annalisalundberg4561 thank you. Glad to have moved recently from Texas back up to Michigan. Willow is a good study in self confidence, doubt, imposter syndrome, and friendship. Good luck out there!
Ya'll are so cute, what a great couple, amazing new video and much love my friend ❤️😍
Thank you so much ✌️🌈
@@laurenelloise You're welcome 🤗
In the umbrella academy scene Five then said something like: "I'm happy for you, Viktor"
thank youu this will really help me find lgbtq+ shows to watch!! 🌈
yayayya glad I could help! (but also thanks to everyone who left really good recommendations )
I started crying when I saw the heartstopper one even though I’ve watched it so many times
nawwww 🖤 it really gets u in the feels hey
oh and young royals season 2 speech scene in the last episode of the season is also a coming out scene!! it's amazing but I think you need context of the whole show to get it. Still I really recommend it!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Luz's coming out scene is i👏con👏ic
ACtually my favourite coming out scene is with Robin, bc it shows how trylu difficult is being a lesbian in their timeline and it pushes to develop of Steve and Robin's friendship which I absolutelly adore bc they are so funny and cute! And like maybe it's also my favourite bc the first person she comes out to (besides her parents) is the guy she was jealous of. AND YES I watched Heartstopler and it was cute, but there was something that the coimng oit scene in Stranger tThings was better than in Heartstopper and I actually don't like coimng out in never have I ever, but her realisation by robot was so good. Amd Atypical was so aforable too I love it how Sam was umderstable bc I hate how they made in The good doctor Shawn like homophobic for this girl it annoyed me bc not all autistic people are homophobic and I love that how they support eachother like Casey amnd Sam are so cute together so it's mine favourite coming out at second place. Xo Kitty was also cool but I understand the girl who gave her 5 hearts I would do it too. I need to watch Brooklyn nine-nine really
I think you mean Shaun was transphobic, I don't think there was any instance he was homophobic, as the girl was trans but Shaun kept misgendering her, and while I think the good doctor isn't a great show or representation (like it's ok but not that good in my opinion as an autistic person), Shaun's whole arc that episode is about understanding her and at the end of the episode a family member brings pink flowers Shaun says "Quinn doesn't like pink, she's more of purple girl." and goes to a pool and floats on top of the water bc that's how she described what it felt like to finally be able to be herself to be a girl.
My fav coming out scene is Mickey from shameless. Even though it’s sad it’s so memorable.
the coming out of robin in stranger things and of zoe in miraculous >>>
As a baby bi who hasn't come out to my family just a few close friends, it is just very relaxing to settle in and watch some gay shit ❤❤❤
Love you both and happy pride month 🥰
aww i love this. hope youve had an amazing pride month! 🖤
@@laurenelloise ❤❤❤ ty Lauren!
ahh you should have included the scene where she comes out at work and allows them 1 minute of questions. it's so iconic i assumed that was the bit you would be reacting to but the scenes with her parents are definitely more serious so i see why you chose them :)
honestly ians coming out in shameless us are great to lip and fiona are so great in so diferent ways and also in shameless mickeys coming out was like so awaited that when he finally did was very impactful
That's exactly what I said about those scenes
Another really excellent coming out scene is Clare from Derry Girls. Extremely awkward but really good.
Rosa coming out as bi was one of my favourite things on B99
i never cry and the heartstopper coming out scene makes me cry everytime i see it!!
you and me both. its really well done
this is the first video i’ve watched of yours and I already LOVE the energy you two give off!!! 🤍 happy pride, even though its ‘over’
awww thank you so much!! hope you had the best pride month!
Heartstopper helped me so much in my journey to knowing myself! I really enjoyed this video, thank you for the amazing work you do! Would definitely watch the second part! ❤
Heartstopper was so idek the words but so comforting to watch 5 years after coming out. I could feel the pain but also the happiness in it too. Was such a good show. Thanks so watching! 💖 10/10 gotta do a part 2
@@laurenelloise I agree, it's really comforting to watch! I'm glad to know there's gonna be a second part of this video, thank you again and have a nice day! ✨
Aww thanks you too!
@@laurenelloise thank you ☀️
Another really good scene is from Love Victor when Victor’s little brother finds out, that scene reminds me of the Atypical scene
I would love a part 2!! I remember a coming out scene in an animated tv show I watched when I was younger, the show is called Kipo and the age of wonderbeasts :D
I love that show, it actually has a nonbinary character, a gay character, and a pansexual character. It also has a pretty diverse cast in general, with the main character being biracial herself (and in my opinion she gives huge bi vibes too, but it's not confirmed)
Rosa's coming out was soooo great!!!
As soon as I am able to buy something offline for myself without my parents seeing or having to ask them I am 100% getting some merch!
That was really lovely. Thank you for sharing this. As an old gay, I really appreciate the opportunity to see videos from the next generation and your thoughts. You folks are wonderful. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. ❤❤
Saddd i was hoping to see Marco's come out scene in Degrassi. You have to keep in mind the show aired in the early 00's and the idea of a gay character in the MAIN cast was nearly unheard of, particularly for a drama aimed at teens, not to mention it was a pent up of emotions not just from the character but the person he comes out to and everyone's varying reactions as a result. Really the whole plot related to it is gut wrenching (triggering but it does have a happy end). Also emotional because at the time the actor was also grappling with his sexuality and persued him to eventually come out.
There are a lot of good coming out scenes in the show, like Adam discovered to be trans, Miles coming out as bisexual, Yael realizing they're enby, etc
I loved your video! if you're considering filming part two, I would recommend reacting to Isak's coming out scene from season three of Skam Norway, it's my favourite of all time
I was so upset at first when Robin came out because I was shipping her and Steve so hard! But now I’m actually loving their “plutonic with a capital P” relationship lol. And her coming out scene is so cute!!
My daughter coming out was when she was 14 and had this special friend on sleepovers but she had to sleep on the floor because my daughters bed was very narrow. One day my daughter came to me and tell me we have to go to IKEA to buy her a wider bed so Milla dosen't have to sleep on the floor anymore. While we were at IKEA I asked dos she want me to buy a wider blanket allso and is this something she wants to tell me? Her smile told me everything. We end up buying not only the bed and blanket but very wide cushion and all kinds of sheets. Never seen my daughter happyer.
for b99 it definitely fits her character and the humor of the show. there's also a scene where she comes out to her colleagues and its a very funny, sweet scene.
LOVE, SIMON AND LOVE, VICTOR COMING OUT SCENES PLEASEEEEEEEEE😍😭😭
The fact that I've watched every single one of these shows... I love them all sm
Willow coming out to Buffy in Buffy the Vampire Slayer is very good. Also, the scene where Sterling and April come out to each other in Teenage Bounty Hunters (also the scene where Sterling comes out to her sister Baily), and also She-Ra. [edit] almost forgot Faking It, both the scenes where Amy comes out to Shane, and the scene where she comes out to Karma.
The two coming-out scenes from DeadEnd Paranormal Park are absolutely needed for a part 2!!
ur wish has been granted! just uploaded part 2
Robin's coming out scene holds such a special place in my heart
I did get pretty upset at it, but Victor’s coming out scene in Love Victor really impacted me. Not because it’s wholesome, but because it isn’t. It’s an actual realistic coming out to your conservative parents scenario, similar to Yuri’s in XO, Kitty.
But it’s okay because his parents finally come around, after like a whole season ahaha
Dawg i cried when you played the heartstopper clip… IT HURRRRTTTS
Hey Lauren I loved this video. Would love to see a part 2. XO Kitty is worth watching. It's so good. All the coming out scenes you shown was super cute. Can't wait to see more. Have a great day ❤
Always stay you and stay safe
Coming soon! hehehe thank you so much! very happy that you enjoyed! 🖤 sending love!
Robin's coming out is always wonderfull, because it was the 80s and Steve just goes like dudee, that girl??
Please add Warrior Nun for part 2. Sister Beatrice's heartfelt scene with Ava is probably the best coming out scene i've seen and she didn't even directly came out and of course the best response from Ava after the fact is just so pure and lovely.
For the owl house, the girlfriend is the one with the purple hair. The girl coming out’s name is Luz and her girlfriend with the purple hair’s name is Amity that’s where Lumity comes from. It’s such a cute show it’s actually my favorite you should watch it
You should also watch "This is Us" when Tess comes out. I use to watch that scene over and over again when I was trying to convince myself to come out to my parents.
Despite what that short scene might make you think The Owl House might be in my top 3 lesbian relationships on tv, and also one of the most realistic relationships on tv in general, and somehow they managed to air almost 3 seasons of this super gay show on Disney of all places before being forced to rap things up in a 3 episode 3rd season. (Still managed to make a satisfying finale btw.)
The character of Adira Tal in "Star Trek: Discovery" had a touching coming out scene as non-binary. They have a conversation i have had myself many times.
at the beginning when you put the video of some of the comments i saw someone said ted lasso. you should totally watch that one because it’s so good. ❤️❤️
Lauren, you helped me so much when I was coming to terms with my sexuality a couple of years ago! Only now stumbling back across you and this video was the cutest ☺️
I see that some have suggested Alex Danvers of Supergirl. The episode where she comes out to her sister, Kara, aka Supergirl, is 2x06. The one where she comes out to her mom is 2x08.
For Nia it's over a few fourth season episodes, with 4x19 being when her superhero persona came out as trans.
As far as The Owl House coming out being so short, it's due to the series being cut short so they had to wrap up their story over 3 episodes. That was in a montage at the beginning of the first of those three episodes.
I will never not love how Steve reacts to Robin being gay. I mean, its the eighties when it still wasn't talked about (it was literally only declassified as a mental illness like, ten years before in their time). He doesnt care, hes just upset about her taste in girls. Hes so sweet and welcoming to her after getting over his initial confusion, whichbia fair.
Hiiii! I love that ur reviewing heartstopper!
omg yes we absolutely HAD to
There’s a sitcom from the 80s called Night Court and in one of the first seasons a character is excited to see an old friend who turns out to be trans. The show handled it fairly well considering it’s time
Thing is The Owl House was cut short since it got cancelled, if it weren't cancelled I highly doubt that it would be short considering they had to squeeze a lot of important things in the show in season 3 since there were only 3 episodes. If it were longer I am pretty sure there would be a whole episode about her coming out including help her friends with their own sexualities (Since 4/6 members of their small gang are queer). I was quite hoping for it to be higher, but 5 seems fair for a short amount of time. The show has a huge part in the LGBTQ community, cause most of the characters you stumble upon are part of the LGBTQ. Like literally Luz who's bisexual and so is Eda. And it continues from there haha.
the Heartstoppers one is how my mum reacted (except I'm just gay) and that way decades ago, I honestly so lucky to have my mum.
nick, robin and Yuri's make me so emotional
My favourite line is Five's line cut off. He says 'Truly hapoy for you Viktor'. As for the scene, Elliot came out after the entire season was already written. He was willing to keep playing Viktor as a woman if that was what the showrunner felt was right. Instead Steve chose to have him transition but also recognised his lack of understanding as a cis man and worked with Elliot and other trans writers to write the vatious scenes. You say this doesnt explain it enough, which I'd argue isnt the show's job, but theres further scenes, including his coming out yo Allison which does explain it more.
Please do a part 2!!! This was such a fun video :)
I think my favorite part of the Owl House one, having seen the show, is *minor spoilers cause it mentiones stuff that happens in Ep1 and is the really the entire premise of the show*
The girl giving the display, Luz, and her girlfriend met in another world where they've been dating for awhile. They didn't have to explain it or even consider explaining it to *anyone* there. It was just kinda accepted by everyone who knew, no questions. The moment they got back to the human world though she had to go through the whole awkward, concerned display which was, due to cutting the show (sad nerd noises) early just a part of the intro for one episode in the last season. Still really cute though
