Hello everyone! This was by far my most requested video, so I am happy (and nervous) that it's finally here. Thank you so much for listening to my story and being a part of this journey with me.
This was my personal experience and how I handled the situation and is, in no way, meant to be a mold for anyone to feel the need to follow.
I hope that by sharing my story and telling my experiences that I can inspire others to do the same or be that person I wish I had when I was coming out.
Love,
Taylor

![เกิดใหม่ทั้งทีก็เป็นสไลม์ไปซะแล้ว ซีซั่น 3 - ตอนที่ 57 [ซับไทย]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/pNhft3YZFRE/mqdefault.jpg)
I came out when I was 25 and met my partner at 27 . I struggled also being I was a construction worker. I'm now 59 and still with my partner 32 years now. I'm retired after 30 yrs of being in construction. Good luck on your journey. We both are masculine men. People can't understand how we are gay! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Best of luck.
wow congrats
ah :"
William Armstrong the stereotype is that masculine men can’t be gay ...........weird
And if you were not masculine was that really such a problem?
Wow ur partner must be very happy
Congratulations on an excellent video Taylor. I am 76 years old and have been with my husband for 58 years.
We got married in 2006 on the first day that it was legal in the UK. I wish you all the best for your future happiness.
Be yourself is the best advice ever. Take care, Ian
I came out in 1981, AIDS was on the horizon. People were dying and we couldn’t even talked to anyone. Our grief, our pain and loss was stuffed and we lived in fear. Somehow, I felt I had to get right with it, I had to speak my truth. My Dad had already passed away so my worry was my family and friends. One friend of my mothers said the worst thing ever, : “You save your soul, I will save mine”. I left in shame. Then another friend , my mom’s best friend, told me she loved me and that my mom would love me regardless. It wasn’t easy, but it was courageous, just as you are! Be true to yourself, love yourself be kind Nd, forgiving and accepting but most of all honor your sexuality as a gift. You are helping many people. All the best! John
The world needs more wholesome content like this. Bravo
We Love this too!
Kids can be so mean. I use to be called gay a lot by my peers and even my own family (brother). The times I have cried because of something I didn't even truly understand at the time still makes me anxious to this day. I'm glad I have never hurt myself because it. Because we have come so far as a community. Stay beautiful inside Taylor xo
Greg Louis stay strong Greg 👍

chow tt - I cannot imagine spending time trolling Gay people on TH-cam to spew ridiculous bullshit. chow Tt, you need a life. Preferably one which doesn’t include bigoted harassment of others.
Yeah, the biggest assholes in the universe are teen boys. No contest. They treat others, girls, each. Other like shit. Ugh.
❤️❤️
Coming out is hard. Also, this man is insanely, almost unbelievably hot.
Hes like a mix between Patrick Dempsey, Bradley Cooper and Sean O'pry
^Said what we are all thinking
What it says that may be for men, it doesn't matter about looks, they'll still hate you the same. It's known that good looking people can get further from other people that see them as favourable, but gay and you see some turn?
“Ok...that’s cool”. Hahaha what a remarkable mom!!!
"Hey, listen to me. You be yourself" Brought tears to my eyes. Love your mom! ❤️❤️
I don’t know why but I started to cry watching this
Recently I apologized to someone who used to be one of my closest friends because some of his friends had bothered him for having a gay friend, then I really regretted the position in which I had put him and also felt extremely bad for being gay and being the way I am. This video has opened my eyes in so many ways, now I realize how confused I was and that I do not have to regret for being myself, further, I do not have to apologize to anyone who is not smart enough to realize how valuable someone is regardless of the sexual orientation. I’m really glad you are inspiring people with your content and being an example of getting over hard situations to truly live a joyful life. I’m grateful to you, I definitely needed this video. Hugs from Colombia

The way the kids bullied you is seriously mean. Glad you become a strong and happy man.
Taylor, thank You for sharing your story and hurts, tears and triumph! I came out 16 days ago to my wife as a gay man. It took me 33 years to come out of the closed. I' a pastor in a german conservativ church and it was a hard way to pretend that I'm a staight guy and husband. Man like you encouraged me to take the steps an now I discover my true self an will live a honest and authentic life! I wish You all the best.
wow I feel terrible for your wife, 33 years of deceit
@@skurinskistupid comment. Don't judge others unless you've been there. 🤡
@@skurinskiI feel terrible for you, you have no empathy and cannot understand what it is like living in a society where gay people are persecuted, or despised.
Even liberal advanced countries like Germany have homophobic people
I have being surrounded my entire life by so much homophobia that when he said that his mother said he was doing the right thing by living his truth I was literally shook for a second and then I remembered some people’s parents are actually supportive.
Yes it can be completely the opposite of what u think if u true to urself.Peoples can feel each other's pain so why not liberate 1 another.We all want to feel better n it's not like we gay people r Unstable mentally.U change the world's perspective.Own It!
I never write on you tube - ever.
I had tears in my eyes when you were talking about your discussion with your mother. Thank you for sharing your experiences - good and bad. I may not know you and may never know you - but it's awesome to be able to hear the perspectives of such a fine young man. Thank you again for sharing with us.
“Coming out” is soul crushing. Utterly demeaning. The fear that you carry to where it feels “liberating” when you can finally be open and feel accepted is absolutely absurd. Everyone has a right to live their true, authentic self without having to live with fear of being “exposed” for LOVING someone. To the entire LGBTQ community, I apologize for the ignorance that continues to plague us as a people. I hope the day when “coming out” and fear to love is a thing of the past. Live YOUR best life!! I stand with you 😘
you my lady are what we call WOKE
Totally agree
Robert Ward please shut up. No one cares about your beliefs. You or your god have no right to make ones sexual orientation invalid.
♥️🏳️🌈♥️
@@kristiangomes3273 So what happens when- his post is not here- This must be a deletion? Often those kinds of offensive accusations from a book of belief only, someone must delete it?
When I came out to my parents, my dad always told me to proud of who I am and not ashamed as how other see me! That's probably one of the few pieces of advise that I remember from my parents.
really enjoyed watching this
yesss queeen!! ilu
and now you're out :)
i'm gay Muslim thank you so much for this i needed to hear this
He is gorgeous, lucky Jeff! 😍
I can't believe people would ever not be your friend anymore because of your sexuality? Like wtf. Obviously they never cared about you and were using you.
Maybe it's because they think they'll fall in love with them -_-
@@Timeless80 Best friend when very young, but clearly not a ``real`` friend.
Adam Rohan Not everyone turns on you but the dynamics definitely changes. When the rumours started going around, no one wanted to be around me because they didn’t want others to think they were gay. After a while people grew up a little but I still have anxiety from those times
Adam Rohan
People can be cruel, and they ofttimes will sever friendships over very trivial things. it's sad that it is this way, but it is.
Not sure they never cared about him, maybe they lived always in a small conservative town in the South. Some people can not imagine be around someone "different" I was really surprised that people were so conservative and short minded, but they are even now. Feel sorry for this guy, but he moved on and left his hometown, probably for ever. Fortunately his family was supportive.
you have a great mom! Thank her again.
BEING GAY IS A BLESSING. YOUR STORY IS A BLESSING. LOVED AND SUB. MUCH LOVE*
Been gay is a blessing from Satan not from god
Thank you Taylor for sharing your story🙌. That inspires me a lot to coming out and being my authentic self🤍
This hit hard! Thankyou for sharing and being a gay role model that is not so cliche, it means more men can be ok with being gay.
"Do whatever make you happy." This is true. Stay happy Taylor ❤
Taylor, you look gorgeous and sound great. May God bless, protect and keep you in His love for ever.
First of all, i want to say that your pronounciation is really great, like, English isnt my 1st languange but i can understand everyword you say clearly..
2nd of all, youre very inspiring and brave to share this story with us.. i feel so sorry for you have to go through some loss of friends in the past year but I'm happy that you get over it bcs they didnt deserve a person as amazing a you are.. I'm so happy for your current life now, that you feel so free living as a gay man and youre enjoying your life to the fullest now.. i hope your relationship with jeff will be the happiest journey of your life and will end with a very happy ending..
Please keep doing what youre doing, please keep make videos for us your fans, and I can't wait for your next videos 😊 big hugs xx
whenever I come out to my family I want them to have an awesome, sweet, loving reaction like your mom. I can tell she really loves you. I cried lol
Taylor, you have to be very proud of yourself! And thank you for sharing with us your story! All the best for you from a friend from Barcelona 😊✌🏻
Yes I’ve been waiting for this ever since you mentioned it on insta!!!
Some days are worse than others, and today being a pretty crappy day, I really needed this. Thank you so much for opening up like this and sharing your experience with us. I never felt like I could relate to anyone else too, and hearing your story changed my mind. Thanks for showing me I am not alone. I don’t know if you will ever realize how much you are helping me. Thank you so much.
Watched half of it so far and you speak with such heart man
Hopefully everyone read the description on this vid too after watching because what you wrote is great. Great vid and great letter man!
I had a very similar experience as you. Thanks for sharing your experience and journey with others. It definitely helps others to realize that their are more people like them than not and that being yourself is the best thing of all.
You posted this on my birthday, and it was very inspiring! I hope you're in a batter place now and I wish you all the best! Keep it up!

Thank you for sharing your story, your struggle years with us, i'm deeply touched by your words. Like Gus you're a great example for the community 💜💜💜💜
i just found your channel, all these normal lives i see is empowering. Thanks for sharing, taylor! from Indonesia
There's "magic in the telling" with/to your story. Thank you for expressing your storyteller side.
I followed you on tumblr way back in the day and remember when you abruptly left and I always wondered what happened, you always seemed so genuine. I'm so sorry for all you've gone through, but so happy you've come out on the other side so well adjusted and happy! I don't know you but I'm so proud of you.
Thank you so much for sharing your story! That’s incredibly encouraging, even to someone who has already been out for two years. It really does get better!
Also, you’re the most adorable thing, I just… 😆❤️
Just what i needed to hear!! Thank you Taylor!!!
It is so nice to hear this. I had a super bad experience coming out and I still struggle with that. I wish I’ve seen this before when I was younger. But thank you Taylor for sharing this! I gives me so much hope and I wish you the best for everything you work on ✨👏🏻
What a great video. You had me crying 😭 so happy for you!
Taylor! Thank you for these words, you are the best, your videos are amazing ❤️

You’re gorgeous! Thanks for sharing this on your channel! So important to share these stories for others to hear!

Being happy within yourself is priceless, glad your being true. Cheers to you mate
Wow Taylor, I'm sending big hugs to you and your mother right away!
Thank You guys for being simply fabulous! :)
This is so inspiring and just heart-warming. And I definitely am feeling the struggle you felt when it comes to come to term with who I am and who I like. And it's just great to see videos like this.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us Taylor. It does get better, and there's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of or apologize for. You are you!
I loved this video. I relate so much and I feel so represented by your story

Taylor, just found you and subbed. As a counselor for more years than you have been alive, I want to thank you for this. You are not only intelligent but also insightful; now only grown up but also mature; not only wise but also loving. Also a big shout-out to your mom. Thanks for this, bro...........love you, man............Ray
Love this so much, thanks for sharing your story it’s gonna inspire so many others ♥️♥️
Awww, I love your mom. And I'm sorry you experienced that initial rejection from people you trusted. I'm glad you have found your way to the the freedom to be yourself. Thank you for sharing your story.
This is such a special video, thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
brilliant, touching, ; this brought me to tears….thank you
You're amazing. It's so hard to open such a painful story especially when you're in the beginning of your TH-cam channel, my story is really different than yours.. I came out when i was 14 and my family didn't really "liked" it.. but my friends were so supportive and happy for me. Anyway im so happy for you and the place you are now in your life💕
I literally just found you in my recommended list so now im subscribed and im excited to see more of your content❤️
You are a role model for me. Thank you for being yourself from the bottom of my heart. XO
With friends like that you don’t need enemies!
Thank you so so much for your amazing and inspiring story Taylor.. It's so hard coming out and as you say there is no book telling you when you should come out.. Just be strong and there are friends around that will support you, forget about the people who reject you for who you are. Stand strong and be proud.. Thank you Sending all those who are struggling big big hugs..
So so so Inspired. I watched this video for many times. You are AMAZING tay! So so so amazing. Thank you for this great coming out story. I wish I can meet you in real life. LOVE YOU TAY!!🔥❤️
This video made me tear up. You are a true inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story with us! ❤️
Great video Taylor. Thanks for sharing. I didn’t come out until I was 30 or 31.
Your story is really really touching and made me cry and I watched till end. You really give me courage to face the fear
Hi Taylor, I've really enjoyed your channel. This is a fantastic video and I think will really help a lot of people struggling with coming out. I don't even know you but I'm so proud of you for sharing your story. I wish you much happiness and success.
You're such an angel. Literally kindness radiates from you. I'm happy that you eventually found a 'home' and a group of friends that love you.
You're very resilient ! I bet you knew that already. Thank you for telling your story.
That was said from the heart, especially when you told your mother over the phone. Lovely and genuine!
Excellent- so proud of you -I'm sure that over the past few years, you have helped a lot of people with this post!
Loved this so much you are one amazing man and I'm incredibly proud of you❤❤❤
I love how you seem to be honest and open. I think that your vulnerabilities are your strengths, I feel that I can relate so much to you. Can't wait till Sunday 😘😘
Bro you are dope and I'm glad you give other people like you hope that life can become amazing.
Taylor 👋🏾 this is such a great story and I’m so happy and proud of you, and I don’t even know you. Those “friends” truly missed out on remaining close with an awesome human being.
Continue being authentically you!
Absolutely beautifully done, Taylor. Your coming out story comes through so honest and emotionally relatable. Thank you for using your platform in such an uplifting and positive way.❤
Great vid...especially liked story about your mom’s reaction and how that made you feel and your two main conclusions: don’t apologise for being who you are and do it your way in your own time. Well done!
