I am most certain that it took a lot for you to bring that personal account of your life into the public forum on social media. I applaud you for doing so, as it will undoubtedly have an impact on so many. The tears of pain were evident, hidden behind your eyes, as testament to the betrayal and disappointment that you experienced from your family. Where you have evolved to in your life and self awareness is commendable. Your are a self aware and mature thinking and behaving man, to be respected and loved. You deserve a wonderful partner in life to love and be loved by. I hope, too, that your parents and older brothers will evolve into being fully embracing, loving relations to you, with no reservations. I wish for you all the best that life has to offer, you deserve it, Keven!! Thanks for making yourself vulnerable and sharing your truth…
Thank you so much for your kind words, Gabriel!
Your little brother sounds very evolved.
Thank you for posting your truth, Keven. It takes a lot of courage to open up about oneself. BRAVO!! Your story is really heart wrenching. You mention the words "trust" and "trusting" so many times and it's no wonder why. I've been a subscriber and fan of your channel for many years now. You've never been this raw and transparent and open about yourself. For example, I could always tell that you're extremely intelligent. I just didn't know you are NYU-intelligent. Very prestigious! I wonder if this kind of trauma caused by your parents' (and especially your mother's) total breach of your trust has caused you to put up barriers in your dating life. If you consciously or subconsciously erect walls and -- with good reason -- have a hard time trusting other people, finding a man who you can totally let down your guard and be vulnerable with in a relationship is unfortunately going be very difficult for you. And it's not your fault. It's your parents' fault (especially your mother's). I think opening up to your followers, a group who have chosen to follow you, is a great first step, Keven. You've been open and vulnerable and let your guard down with us. This is the best, most raw and bravest vlog you've ever posted. Remember that you have a group of people out in cyberspace who have chosen to subscribe to your channel because they like you and want to be included in your life -- even if it's from afar. Just know that you have a wide group of thousands of supporters. Please continue opening up on your channel. I think you are most definitely helping a lot of people. xxxx oooo
Thank you so much for this kind comment! I have thought about that myself regarding trust - has it subconsciously created "walls" with others. Thank you for caring enough to share this feedback. 💜
Keep yourself out there. You will be very useful to someone emotionally in need of support. I turned 80 a couple of weeks ago and,partly because of something I’m writing, have become interested in the attitudes of gay men of younger generations. I think your resentment and position vs a vs your family are completely legitimate and hope your journey continues to be as positive as I feel. It has been and is. David
I’ve been out now for 60 years.
Thank you for watching, David!
You come across as so grounded and secure in yourself.I am so curious to see what kind of man you end up with.☺️
Thank you 🙏
It was good to meet you by listening to your story, to your journey. We all deinitely have one to tell. I remember the support groups and telling our coming out story. It was and still is very important. I'm so happy that you have built a chosen family. I still have some of these very people in my life all these years later. Keep moving forward, seems like you already know these things. In the mean time, we'll keep listening. 🙂
Thank you for watching & listening :)
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I thoroughly enjoy hearing your thought processes & I commend you for opening up on this specific topic. I was born at the end of 1989, but it’s so interesting looking back on the 90s perceptions of the “gay” community & how it’s evolved - is continually evolving. Your story & examining it from your dual cultures perspective (French & Turkish) is important. I’m sure there is a young person out there hearing this & finding solace/comfort, knowing they are not alone. You are strong Keven.
I am finishing up your video… so edit to add, you bringing up coded language is also so true & something so many of us face & have to decipher. Many phrases or words with double backhanded meaning. Not to diminish other gay content creators on TH-cam whatsoever but I appreciate that you cover & explore gay topics that should very much have an open discourse- dialogue as opposed to strictly vapid or superficial topics.
Thank you for your thoughtful comments, Nic! @@NicBooher
You’re so handsome !!! Beautiful man ❤
Very sweet of you 🙏
So beautiful I worry that potential partners will think he is out of their league!
I'm reminded of the first time I came home after drinking. It was winter break from college and high school friends gathered for a holiday party. I was greeted by my Dad who waited for my return. He didn't say a thing. He just glared at me and went to bed. The next day, however, I got the sermon about the evils of alcohol. In time they learned I was responsible, that drinking wouldn't ruin me, and their fears were alleviated. I think that's true for the sexuality of your kids.
As a parent your mind immediately goes to the worst case scenario and the need to protect. I'm not even sure it's a question of morality. If it's abuse you want it stopped. If it's straight you might worry about pregnancy. For gay or straight you might worry about disease and sexual health. But in most instances it's about protection. I'm not dismissing moral questions. Some parents hold those opinions, too. In time most parents learn that you're responsible, that it won't ruin you, and their fears are alleviated.
We have to learn to accept ourselves, a process that for some takes time, but we allow ourselves that time. It's only right that we allow others that time. You don't have to like something to accept it's true. Acceptance isn't approval, it's just acknowledging the truth. The father in the film "The Sum of Us" explains this in a great monologue. About his son he says he wishes he was straight because he worries he'd be missing out on the great things he shared with his mom but, if he can't have that, he wants him to have all the best things he can have. I think this is where most relationships end up. It's just a matter of time.
Sorry to drone on and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this story! ❤
Thank you for watching 💜
Gay men together forever ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Actually duh I found your listed links thank you !
Your best video ever. Thanks for sharing. Sadly, many parents are okay with gay people unless it is one of their children. They feel shame at having a gay child and this is the worst message they can convey to their gay offspring. Honestly, accept your child as it comes into the world. Otherwise, do not have children. My coming out was very similar to yours, and to this day I cannot forget the shame my parents felt at having a gay child. You then spend your whole life trying to prove that you bring value to your family, but the pain never goes away.
You get it 💜 Thank you for watching
One of your best videos.
Thank you for watching Shaun 🙏
you truly are so honest brave and amazing i am blown away by you - rory pollinger
Thank you! 🥹
OMB! Your mother's betrayal left me gasping. Then to have your dad go off on you like that. Makes me think of the line from Dangerous Liaisons: "Why are Intellectuals so profoundly stupid?" Glad you came through it with flying colors. You don't say but I hope you're mending those bridges. Be glad at least you inherited your parents' intelligence without their emotional/cultural baggage. Hard to believe you haven't yet found a partner. But then they'd have to be as remarkable as you, a very high bar.
Thank you for your kind words Jeff 🙏
@@KevenTalks Loving your interviews, too. Keep up the good work!
@@jeffwatkins352 Glad you like them!
Thanks so much for your adult incisive treatment.
I had to google "incisive" - lol - thanks for your vocabulary ;)
Being gay means that you live in varying degrees of clandestine subterfuge. The term gay didn’t exist when I was young. The climb to awareness and acceptance was arduous.
Why should we have to come out now kevin. We are what we are and Born the way we are .i wish i was born now I’m sixty and still keep my sexuality secret which really hurts me and i feel i have wasted my life ,being so unhappy most off the time. Maybe i need help i dont no my freind
Gay men of all the world together forever ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Good video, the big upside you were lucky enough to born in America and not Turkey during the middle age of gays coming out. There's still hope for your family changing. Thanks for sharing.
