    We're sorry to hear what you had to go with. When we looked for an apartment to rent, we were also wondering if we should lie or be honest about being a gay couple as we were afraid we wouldn't get the place. It sucks that your neighbors can completely ruin the place for you. Even now that we own a condo, we're still afraid each time new neighbors move in because they can change your living experience overnight. Glad you're happy now in the house with no annoying neighbors! 🤗

      Having bad neighbours definitely changed our living experience, to a point where we avoided being home when we knew they were drunk...
      So happy to have moved out...!
      Hopefully you won't have to deal with any bad neighbours in your condo!

    So sorry that this happened to the two of you. Discrimination happens every day and we never hear everything that really goes in. It goes on in housing, employment, and just in our communities. It’s sad that people are the way that they are and it disappoints me that the human race can be the way that they are. Sending love and positive vibes your way. You did the right thing by exiting out of that toxic situation.

My husband and I have been together for 19 years and luckily we’ve never had to deal with anything like that. For the most part we’ve always lived it houses so we never had to deal with neighbors connected to our place. I’m so happy you guys found a new place and are loving it.

    Hey Pascal!! Missed you and Bryan lots!! Again I'm so sorry for what you guys had to go through.
    First, you shouldn't be afraid to show affection in public, I mean people are gonna judge, but who cares what they think? You guys are in love and that's all that matters. Being a black Christian straight woman, I absolutely truly support the LGBTQ+ community and so does my mom. If I saw you guys for real, I would be happy to be y'all best friend for life and be like a family to you guys. So don't be afraid to be yourself around people, you'll have those who love you for who you are and some who may not, but the important thing is that you are beautiful inside and out because that's how God created all of us.
    Second, there's nothing wrong with having fun, especially if you're living in an apartment. I do find this embarrassing to talk about, but I'll say it anyway. After my mom and I got evicted from our old place because our landlord was an ass, we didn't have nowhere to go. From my granddad's house to hotels and to living in our car for 7 months, it was awful!!! But the Lord answered our prayers and that we got a brand new place, we are so truly blessed and grateful. I'm glad that you guys are doing OK after all that happened. I pray for you guys everyday, well I pray for everybody. I love you guys so much, God bless and have a great rest of your week❤💛💚💙💜💗❤💛💚💙💜💗❤💛💚💙💜💗❤💛💚💙💜💗❤💛💚💙💜💗❤💛💚💙💜💗❤💛💚💙💜💗❤💛💚💙💜💗

      Thank you so much for sharing your story; you shouldn't feel embarrassed about it..!
      I'm sure the whole experience made you not only stronger, but also more grateful of the good (and sometimes taken for granted) things in your life! 😊 At least, that's how I see it...! I definitely enjoy living in our new home way more now, after going through this, than if I had it from the start.

    This video was the perfect length. It was concise but conveyed the trying emotional strains you and Bryan had to contend with for five years because of boorish and seems mentally unstable neighbors. I now better understand the depression you seemed to have exhibited in the latter videos before you stepped back from social media last year. I know this video will help countless viewers confronting similar problem people in their lives. Well done, Pascal! You are an excellent communicator. I’m always happy to hear your voice. Peace to you and Bryan and all you invite to share in your new home.🏡

    Your video popped up in my recommended feed, and I just subscribed. I'm sorry for what you went through, and glad you are in a new place that feels like home. I only had one such experience - I was looking for an apartment where the landlord was the father of someone I knew. He was excited to rent the apartment to me, and all seemed to be in place. But my acquaintance told his father I'm gay (not expecting that to be a problem) and the father then decided not to rent the apartment to me (because he said I would be a bad influence since other tenants had children). My acquaintance was mortified, but I felt like I dodged a bullet and found a good apartment elsewhere. I'm glad to have my own house now!

    first time watching you. Wow what a bunch of hell by small minded bigots! I am an older gay man and live with my partner in an apartment. fortunately for us we have been accepted by our straight neighbors. We live in a senior and disabled complex so at first i was a bit concerned, but we have been very lucky to date. Our management has been extremely supportive as well. Good luck to you both in your new home.

    I am so sorry that you and Bryan had to endure such Homophobic hate, mental anguish, and had to put up with those awful neighbors for close to five years for both of you are to nice of a couple to go through anything like what you had to go through. I am so happy that the both of you were able to break your lease and find a house to live in so as the both of you do not have put up with anymore Homophobic tenants or neighbors. I turned 59 years old this May and I do remember how bad the Homophobic hate ( I lived in the more conservative part of the San Francisco Bay Area and I still live there today) was toward our community 30 to 40 years ago. I graduated from Pacific ( at that time it was a 3 year high school and not a 4 year high school) High School in June 1980 and for the 3 years (1977 to 1980) I was a student the yearly student population was about 800 to 900 students. This how bad it was then in 1977. if anybody suspected that another student was gay or even bi-sexual, that student was physically beaten up and attacked, harassed, called names, ostracized, lost all of his friends, and was forced to leave Pacific High school to find another high school to attend. For the three years while I was a student, there were 4 incidents where 4 of my fellow students were suspected to be gay and they were all physically attacked (I was not a witness to the beatings but I did hear of them after they occured ) and one of them had to spend over a month in the hospital to recover. What made those 4 Homophobic hate crimes even worse , is the Principal, the Vice Principal, and the Dean did not to anything to help these 4 students and all 4 of them had to leave the school for their safety and all four of them had to transfer to a new high school some 40 to 50 miles away. Except for the city of (In the Early 1970's, The Castro District in San Francisco was the birth place of the Gay Rights and LGBTQ Movement for California and the USA West Coast and Fire Island in New York was the birthplace for Gay Rights movement for the USA East Coast) San Francisco, that is the way it was for our community within the San Francisco Bay Area. I could be very brutal living as a gay man or lesbian woman in this area 40 to 45 years ago. It was those 4 incidents and many other Homophobic hate crimes that happened over 30 to 45 years ago that still shapes my thinking today for I am very cautious because I still think that I could become a victim of Homophobic hate crime or a Homophobic slur. But I also have to remind everybody that I did not come to full terms of my sexuality and that I did not accept myself as being gay until March 2019 after a 50 year plus struggle. Now I can say that I so proud that am gay and that I belong to our wonderful, diverse, and loving, and exceptional LGBTQ community, and proud to say that God made this way as well. Your are right in saying that our situation has vastly improved over the last 20 years, but our LGBTQ community has still some distance to travel before our community has total equality to the heterosexual world, and we are going to get the equality and safety our community deserves very soon. Again I am so sorry that the both of you had to though such a tough almost 5 years with "B" and 'S' as your neighbors. You choose the right letters to name those 2 former neighbors of yours because they are truly BS which means to that they are both made out of "BULL SHIT" !!! I do want to apologize for all of who are offended by my bad language for this is the first time that I have used vulgar swear words in a comment since I started my commenting on video VLOGS in February 2019 but I feel it needed to be said. I so happy that the both are are living in a house and feel safe. I will also say a prayer that the both of you and both your families stay safe, well, and healthy while this Pandemic lasts. A job well done on this video and my best to you both, your friend Bryan from San Lorenzo California.

However when addressing with her would always deny it and put blame on the folks on the shared wall. Not only was she aggressive but was ashamed of herself for being difficult. Happy for your new home and hope for many years of peace.

    Hey Pascal, I am so sorry you were the victims of their alcoholic homophobic rages. No one should have to put up with that. Even if you are blacked out drunk, you can be held responsible for your actions. They clearly were suffering from mental illness as well.
    I had no idea you were both suffering in silence, the landlord should have been more proactive with your complaints. I am sure you are both wonderful neighbors, I doubt you were at fault, they were just terrible people.
    I can not believe he was directing his tirades at a 2 year old baby. The landlord should have evicted them right away.
    I am glad that you are free of that horrific situation. I hope your new home will be a place of peace and serenity. You should be able to host your friends and family, without fear of reprisals.

But, I know that’s not always financially feasible. Happy that you’re in a better situation. All the best to you and your bf. Stay safe during this pandemic.

    @maddghost9650 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow, that's a lot of crap to deal with. Why is it always the kindest people that get treated the worst?
    It's been about four years since I've gotten myself into watching the society, really observing what's going on, what's the majority's opinions and trends and all that. So I'm very aware of discrimination and what's wrong with the world. Unfortunately, I live in a pretty conservative household. Even though my parents are good people they have some very bad ideas instilled in their heads. And I'm just like you, Pascal, I avoid confrontation at all costs. Which is why I'll never be able to come out to my family. Just this morning I found an issue of my parents' favourite magazine. Let's just say the cover was so insulting to literally every minority I wanted to cry. Things like these make me desperately want to become an activist or a teacher to fight the hate in the world. But it's been years since I've had faith in humanity...
    I honestly cannot understand how people don't realise they're being bigots. Even though it's been only a couple of years since I've realised I wasn't straight, I've always felt the fear of living in society cause I was female. To this day, I wonder what does it feel like, living the privileged, straight white male life. Being oppressed and afraid is such an integral part of who I am and I really hope I could get the majority to understand that fear.
    Wow, this got out of hand. Sorry. 😅 Thank you for sharing this story, I like those that have a happy ending ☺️ Your new house is gorgeous, so I guess the universe (or smt) finally brought you to where you're meant to be. 😁

    I inherited my family home when my parents passed away, and for a long while I was really afraid I was going to lose it as I'm now disabled and I had no income coming in and was afraid that I was going to lose the house but now finally my disability has been approved and I am now going to start receiving an income every month so I'm happy that I'm able to keep my home although I will say I have a trump supporter who lives opposite my house across the street I mean they're not even directly across from me they're opposite across from me and recently I have been noticing that not only do they point to my house and everything but the other night I just happened to be walking into my living room and I see the woman not only standing at the bottom of my driveway but she's in the grass to the side of my driveway or my mother has a garden and she's looking up my driveway and as soon as she sees me standing there looking at her she steps back behind the bush and then walks back across the street up into her driveway and into her house and I'm like WTF? And I know they both give me dirty looks when I'm out mowing the lawn I mean they pretty well figured out that yeah I'm gay and before when I first moved back into my parents home they pretty much ignoring me but now that it's become obvious that yeah I am a homosexual every time I'm out in my yard I see him glancing over and pointing at my house then I have her over in my yard behind my bushes looking at my driveway I like what so I can understand how uncomfortable you were with those ignorant homophobic morons who are giving you trouble at your old apartment just really happy that things have worked out and you have a home of your own now.

    Glad you guys have finally found somewhere you can be happy and be yourselves. I suspect every LGBTQ couple worries about renting/buying their joint home. I know we did, we face comments from local youths but we just ignored it and positively we had great neighbours who welcomed us and some even cam to Pride festivals with us. Enjoy your new home and stay strong and never change who you are. 💕

    Quebec is the only place I have heard of where everybody’s lease begins on July 1. I heard the Quebec government made it that way to make it impossible to enjoy Canada Day. St. Jean Baptiste apparently is the only holiday that matters in Quebec.

    Any tenant would find living under tenants who do not have their floors ccarpeted to be a real problem. It would be constant noise constant,, almost 24 hours a day. Even when I have lived in a multi-level home of my own, I put carpets on the top floor. Another terrible problem in old housing, uncarpeted and lightly insulated homes is the radio and electronic noise of others. Things to think about if you ever have tenants in your building again. And finally, miserable peopple do not like anything interrupting their misery.

    • @PascalPlante
      @PascalPlante  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Indeed, our apartment block was quite old, with paper thin walls and floors...! We would always hear their TV & music all weekends from 7am to late at night + we could hear them speak - we never made a fuss about it because that's what life in an old building is... Apparently they couldn't understand that

    Pascal/Bryan.
    Glad the finally got out of the apartment.
    Unfortunately,
    we have to deal
    with ignorant
    people every day.
    When I move to
    NYC at the age
    of 18 I didn't
    experience
    situations or
    problems with
    no one... well
    except for my
    " father ".
    He was rude, evil,
    nasty and never apologized with
    me for so many
    years that he never
    did anything for
    my Mom when he abandoned me
    and my others
    brothers and my
    sister when we
    need him.
    Then I move out
    from his apartment,
    found a job and
    start my own life. Never have problems with any tenants.
    All my past landlords are gays except
    for a lady who
    rent me the house
    that I living right
    now.
    I have a basic rule
    that I learn in NYC .
    " don't mess with
    me, I don't mess
    with you ".
    All my friends and family knows that
    I'm gay and those
    who don't accept
    me for who I am
    not for what I'm is
    not my problem
    and don't
    care.
    I'm in my 50s
    now and I don't
    take bu=*s%£¥
    from no body.
    Keep the news
    experiences as
    a challenge.
    At the end of
    the road what
    really matters is
    your happiness.
    Please take care,
    and when you
    have the chance
    let me know your mailing address.

    Those kinda people just urke me but I'd also do whatever it takes to protect my boyfriend 🖤

    How terrible that you had to endure that. Your home should be the place you feel safe, not fill you with anxiety. I guess I've been lucky. I've always lived in big cities, so I'd usually find an apartment in a gay complex, or a complex where the manager was gay. Even when my late partner and I bought a condo, the complex was small and the other residents were either elderly widows or gay or lesbian. :) I bought a house 20 years ago and all the neighbors are extremely nice. I've never heard a bad word from them or had any bad experiences with them.
    I remember you talking about the place you moved to a while back. I believe it was a house, but is there another unit in the building also?

  • @normancross1515
    @normancross1515 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Pascal and Brian, Believe me, you are not alone. I'm over seventy years old so plug yourself into that situation! I have TONS of stories, here's a good one: I had been in vacation for a week in Florida and came home to find a notice on my door from my next door neighbors. I had the end unit of a row of three bedroom townhouses. Each dividing wall between units was 8" concrete block. I had lived there for 12 years with relatively no problems, the few I had were over parking issues.
    The note was a really, really nasty letter complaining about "noise" to the point they couldn't sleep at night. They had only moved into the apartment a couple months before and seemed a bit "offish" from the beginning. Apparently during the second month they had surmised I was gay. They had told their friends who also lived in the complex they were going to "get me out of there!" They said that from day one it was just constant noise but they finally reached their "boiling point" the previous week.
    Apparently no one told them that the owner of the complex was a friend of mine and I had, in fact, been the first tennant on the property. I called the property manager and told her what had transpired, which she had found amusing since she was the one that stopped by twice a day to feed my two cats! She was the only one who had been in the apartment for about 20 minutes each day for the previous 10 days! She asked me to photocopy the letter (which they had kindly signed and dated) and give her a copy and mailing one to the corporate office explaining that no one had even been in the unit for ten days and they had never contacted me before about anything!
    One week later they had received a notice to vacate and a week after that they were gone! Apparently our laws are a bit more flexible . . . LOL.
    Pascal you are looking so much better and healthier.
    Much love and happiness to you both. 💝 💝

    I'm so sorry that happened to you! But honestly I think the homophobia was incidental. Your old neighbors were just drunks and assholes and they would have treated a straight couple in exactly the same way they treated you. The only difference would have been that they would have chosen different insults for a straight couple. Anyway, I'm thrilled for y'all that you get to live in a house of your own, and that's all that matters now.

  • @midnightartist43
    @midnightartist43 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sorry to hear about what happened, people can be assholes. Your neighbors sound like pricks, like “can you walk more quietly?”
    BITCH PLEASE THAT DOESNT EVEN MAKE SENSE 😂
    They also sound like alcoholics because of how many times they get drunk and smoke. You should have punched one of them -._-.
    Anyways, so glad you guys are ok now and away from those Hypocrites. Hope your new home is much better in terms of neighbors and maybe even home!

    When they started complaining you should have documented their abuse and gone to the landlord

    • @PascalPlante
      @PascalPlante  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      We had already told the landlord when it started years before, but with no result - they would receive a message text "warning", and that's it ; it would calm down during the following days/weeks, but would start all over again everytime they'd get drunk.

    • @xadam2dudex
      @xadam2dudex 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@PascalPlante then your landlord wasn't really interested in the quality of tenants just having the apt rented.. With documentation it would be that hard to evict them .. Would finding a new tenant be that difficult for him ? But I hope you are happier in your new place ..
