Shane, after watching some of the posts on youtube, may I say Oh What A Dance It Was! You danced in the laughter, you danced through the love, you danced through the life you shared, You danced in the sunshine, you danced in the dark, you danced past the hate, you danced past the rejection. You danced in you heart, you danced in your minds. You danced across the world, you danced into the hearts of millions. You and Tom Shall dance again. Oh what a dance it shall be, My heart goes out to you.
Shane and Tom's love story is timeless. I am 80 yrs. old and was led to the movie. I really want to meet these two in eternity. Shane, love again for Tom.
I came across the documentary recently & was very moved by these 2 men, their loving relationship & their supportive friends. It would be a great doco to show to high school students. I hope that Shane is travelling OK, and has love in his life.
how anyone could hate such love is astounding to me. Tom and Shane were so wonderful together, and just wanted to share there love to the world. They were pioneers, and Tom so gorgeous. Shane adorable.Thank you for posting.
It's so sad that his family denied you the privilege to attend his service..when they know that you guys were together..love does comes thru gender it comes from two hearts coming together..love has many faces..just be thankful that you found love sweetheart...I personally was inspired by watching your videos I know that it's 2019 but love transcends the barriers of time...love it the true meaning of life's fulfillment and please know that love does not die with our love ones it's still here with you...just continue the love story that you guys started with joy in your heart...Carolyn from coconut creek Florida
I watched the movie. I had a mix of emotions. Tom and Shane were a wonderful couple! 💓 It's the kind of Love everyone wishes to find. Thank you for sharing this vid.
I came upon this video by chance... I love everything you shared here with the world... Tonight when I go to the Church I shall light a candle for Thomas that he will inherit Eternal Life in the Heavenly Kingdom prepared for him before all ages....And for Shane. May God give you healing of Mind, Soul and Body as you mourn the Loss of the One Whom You Loved with Unconditional Love... the greatest of All Love ... the Love that ONLY Gives expecting nothing in return. I shall keep both of You in My Prayers. Thank YOU for embracing the Love of Christ in Your Life... May Thomas" s Memory be Eternall! In the Love of Christ! A Total Stranger.
Thank you for this memorial for Tom Bridegroom. I'm reminded again of the sorrow I felt when I first read about this young man and saw the documentary.
Hey I'm from the Middle East and when I saw this documentary I cried so much and also realized that there is something called true love and that came from watching Shane and Tom. Their friendship and love was magical. Love u Shane and R.I.P Tom.
Thank you John Thorpe for removing hate filled comments. The people who write things like that, especially those who hide behind religion to mask their bigotry can go spread their bile somewhere else!
These people who hate tells me they've never experienced love in any way, shape or form or else they'd know you shouldn't fight against love. Wonder what's in their Bible that I'm not getting. Does their "God" condone hate cause it sure seems like it. Tom and Shane forever into eternity😔😰
this actually make me cried of joy and reminds me of the love I share with my partner... even though people try to break us a part it won't happen. because we are meant to be together no matter what come our way.... Thank you Tom and Shane for that beautiful love story...God please keep us all in the palm of your hands
My fiance grew up in the same city as Shane and he felt the same pain growing up in that area and now where planning our wedding in AZ he loves their story and Thank Shane for his courage !! love this video
It moved me a lot for the love between two people. It was a tragedy for his family, especially for Shane. I wish Shane could be strong and become better. The world become better with all kinds of love. I like the words love is louder.
Beautiful life affirming relationship, so very sorry for your loss Shane but thank you so much for your courage in sharing with us all. Your family and friends must be so proud of you. I hope that my children meet a love like Tom in their lives.
Im so sorry shane for losing your beloved Tom. Im watching all of your videos uploaded at youtube, all i can i say is be strong i know everything happened to you had a reasons. I know there will be another person that will be a change of your Tom, a person that is more capable of Tom's love to you. belated Condolence Shane.
I watched the documentary 4 months ago and I'm still watching it and still saddens me, I mean, they were really happy and cute together, they had it all and it all vanished in one blink, love like this shouldn't be hidden or being afraid of anything or anybody, the lesson this leaves us is to always feel proud of our feelings for our beloved ones.
i don't know u and i am going to see the movie tomorrow, i was captivated by the powerful love that u share, i only wish u happiness , people who hates you are people who are evil and hate jesus as well, may God protect you and cove your wounded heart with his healing love. Love u :)
This is lovely. I watched the documentary and it ripped my heart out. I don't understand how Tom's family could fail to understand the depth of the love that Tom and Shane had for each other and how important Shane was to their son. I hope that someday they understand. Sometimes the realization that you were wrong comes over time and sometimes it strikes all at once. Social progress is often slow, but I feel like we're making progress. We just have to make sure not to let it go backwards.
Also, I will not tolerate using scripture as an excuse to hate, if you want to try that here, you can just go to a different video cause it won't be allowed here.
Time to clean up the comments... It's ok to say you don't agree with it, but I will NOT allow belittling or anything of that nature, if you do, your comment will be removed without warning....
A love like this is so rare in our community that it makes this story even harder to handle. It has however changed the way we are looked at. Now we are getting our rights to marriage.
this was a A amazing movie and story I watched that movie on Netflix and youtube so many times and I still think about it. today. and I fall in love with their love Michael you may have you opinion out here but people don't have to like it. many other people have had different lives. My thoughts about it is, love is love you shouldn't be judged for loving or caring for that person no matter if it is a girl with girl or guy with guy. I totally support gays and lesbians and bi and trans
You were a beautiful couple ... I feel grief with you, because I too lost my partner suddenly ... Cherish your moments, because they are only yours to sherish ... TAP-TAP-TAP 8
Omg..still crying..this kind of love is what we search for..I watched the movie on Netflix, I love u both, Tom RIP my dear, I will meet u some day. Shane I will continue to follow u and I know God will continue to watch over u. Tom is always with u.
My heart aches watching these video's. Such a great couple. Great they met and had even this short time together. This chapter closed too early Shane but I hope your living life to the fullest now. Tom would want that. You WILL hold him again one day. Love never dies. I waited too long myself but finally found it in my beautiful husband. Peace and Love.
Respect and love to everybody! We all are humans ! all deserve love! I'm happy that this guys know real love !!! Rest in peace Tom! And Shane I wish for you long years remembering what real love did for your life!
Shane I am so sorry for your loss. I just recently heard of this movie as I was relating a situation to a friend of mine similar to this and he told me I had to view this...broke my heart. I had a friend whos partner was much longer and they had been together secretly for five years. The younger became ill AIDS and when he passed away my friend was forbidden to view him or come to the funereal. The day of the funereal he slipped into the back of the Church quietly but the Grandmother saw him and screamed "get him out of this church" he killed my Grandson..
I'm sorry for your loss , We are Brazilians and moved in its history . I have a son who is gay and lives with his partner very well to 7 years and is our pride loves us and respects us . me and my wife . Respect for their sexual condition . Have faith shane .
Seriously who would hate on Tom? you dont hate on anyone period. Tom and Shane made me believe in True Love and i wish i could find a relationship like theirs. Such an amazing human being. I don't know you Tom but i feel like i do after watching Bridegroom. My dad never really accepted me either he humiliated me and stuff and i know if i died he would do the same your parents did to Shane (Keep my bf out of my funeral) Rest In Peace Handsome ❤ #TapTapTap
Wow...I wonder if Tom was ever a model because some of these photos of him are stunningly beautiful!! Wow, wow, wow, he would have definitely been my type!! Even though he was way, way, way out of my league!! I could never get a guy that looks like that. RIP, Tom. I would gladly trade places with you.
True love is love regardless with who and should not be judged. We were given freedom of choice. Besides, who are we to judge? Only God can judge. Sad story. Prayers sent.
I'm a christian and it's not for us to judge it's God who does. My heart goes out to you . It's sad it came to this but he's up in heaven were he's away from the people how could not show compassion or love towards him. May God give you peace and time to heal.
It's sad that he's gone. But he's up there in Heaven looking down on u protecting you from some of the hurt that you may continue to suffer, with the two of you not being together anymore. You will be in my prayers forever.
Still in love with this sweet man I never knew him but oh my I wish I had, Shane is in love with someone else now & I am happy for him but there's no denying this guy was handsome xxx
I'm glad you removed the hateful comments before I read them. You'd have to remove my comments from the names I'd be calling them. The Bridegroom story has always been a very sad story to me. Such a beautiful person. I can't believe the hatred that some people can muster up.
I am always so surprised that there are still people "in 2015" the quote and rely only on the old Testament in the Bible. Open your heart. Love thy neighbor as thyself. There is enough hate and violence on earth. Be happy about every love there is. And yes, who are we to judge?
You know God has one of the best Angels on his side right now. So just know he's up there or down here helping to kick the right arses. You are forever in my heart and prayers.
So sorry Shane for your loss of Tom. At least, u got Tom. I was born in a ethnic family. I lost uncountable many, but Never get one - love, because I have an ethnic background.
I watched this documentary movie. Believe me, Tom's death just made me feel sad all day long. I have a great cry for both of them,Believe me, I've cried a few times. Because I myself am gay. I can feel their love and affliction.
Even though i don’t know Shane and Tom, i really feel that its true love that they shared . It doesn’t matter ..gay or not. Love is there for everyone, if you are so lucky to find it. I hope that Shane will find love again when he is ready, i sure think that Tom would have wanted that for him because he loved him so much! God bless you and don’t let anyone tell you that he’s not ! 💁🏼❤️❤️🌹
Im so sorry. Just watched Bridegroom. I couldnt stop crying. If there was ever a story of true love this is it.
You're such a great guy Shane, it was an honor for Tom to have spent his final years with you, keep fighting
Shane, after watching some of the posts on youtube, may I say Oh What A Dance It Was!

R.I.P Tom💐 Shane and Tom's love is timeless
I've never cried so much before watching Bridegroom 💔 they are my motivation
Watched Shane's video. Beautiful and sad.
It's so sad that his family denied you the privilege to attend his service..when they know that you guys were together..love does comes thru gender it comes from two hearts coming together..love has many faces..just be thankful that you found love sweetheart...I personally was inspired by watching your videos I know that it's 2019 but love transcends the barriers of time...love it the true meaning of life's fulfillment and please know that love does not die with our love ones it's still here with you...just continue the love story that you guys started with joy in your heart...Carolyn from coconut creek Florida

Thank you for this memorial for Tom Bridegroom. I'm reminded again of the sorrow I felt when I first read about this young man and saw the documentary.
I'm a 15 year old lesbian and have been going to Pride parades ever since Tom died. My mom takes me every year to the Pride Parades.
Hey I'm from the Middle East and when I saw this documentary I cried so much and also realized that there is something called true love and that came from watching Shane and Tom. Their friendship and love was magical.
Love u Shane and R.I.P Tom.
This is such a good movie of true love, i cried from the start to the end, RIP Tom
i think they should re release this on Netflix again. They lived more life in such a short time together
they showed us love is possible. RIP TOM
beautiful video... make me cry all day...
Thank you John Thorpe for removing hate filled comments. The people who write things like that, especially those who hide behind religion to mask their bigotry can go spread their bile somewhere else!
***** You're welcome ... I've dealt with it most of my life and I won't put up with it here.
These people who hate tells me they've never experienced love in any way, shape or form or else they'd know you shouldn't fight against love. Wonder what's in their Bible that I'm not getting. Does their "God" condone hate cause it sure seems like it. Tom and Shane forever into eternity😔😰
Easy Bud, we have to love them out of the darkness in which they live. We cannot be like them. Love Ya.
this actually make me cried of joy and reminds me of the love I share with my partner... even though people try to break us a part it won't happen. because we are meant to be together no matter what come our way.... Thank you Tom and Shane for that beautiful love story...God please keep us all in the palm of your hands
My fiance grew up in the same city as Shane and he felt the same pain growing up in that area and now where planning our wedding in AZ he loves their story and Thank Shane for his courage !! love this video
I am still reeling from this story. true love happens
,
This is so heartbreaking. I just watched the documentary and it broke my heart. I wish Shane the best and I hope he's well.
It moved me a lot for the love between two people. It was a tragedy for his family, especially for Shane. I wish Shane could be strong and become better. The world become better with all kinds of love. I like the words love is louder.
+Kut Tem The film has completely changed the way I think. Love always wins in the end
May GOD Bless Shane and Tom. Lord have mercy on the Bridegroom family. LOVE IS LOUDER. Tap...Tap...Tap.. XO from Boston
Beautiful life affirming relationship, so very sorry for your loss Shane but thank you so much for your courage in sharing with us all. Your family and friends must be so proud of you. I hope that my children meet a love like Tom in their lives.
Im so sorry shane for losing your beloved Tom.

belated Condolence Shane.
It's so sad but it's so much powerful that love for each other, the friendship. I have no words. We love you both.
I watched the documentary 4 months ago and I'm still watching it and still saddens me, I mean, they were really happy and cute together, they had it all and it all vanished in one blink, love like this shouldn't be hidden or being afraid of anything or anybody, the lesson this leaves us is to always feel proud of our feelings for our beloved ones.

Social progress is often slow, but I feel like we're making progress. We just have to make sure not to let it go backwards.

Roshan Khan Thanks. I can definitely see his model stunningness!!
True love is love regardless with who and should not be judged. We were given freedom of choice. Besides, who are we to judge? Only God can judge. Sad story. Prayers sent.
Love should be celebrated, not chastised! It doesn't matter who you love and one should never be ashamed of it.
Rip tom ...you 2 have a romantic love...so sad to hear that :(
