If You Were My LGBTQ Child | ASMR

As a straight (CIS male) father myself, I talk about how I would raise & treat someone if they happen to be my LGBTQ child, no matter if they were a young teen or an older adult.

Listen to select audio works outside of YouTube:

Him saying C I S instead if Cis is so funny. It's giving supportive dad trying his best.

[liamsolos_]

"just pretend you enjoy kissing men" is the funniest sentence ive ever heard

[onyks]

This man has more dignity and respect for other people and their choices than 80% of people I meet everyday.
Edit:
WTF has happened to him.
Like I had no idea he could say so hateful and stupid things.

The father with the milk and now this? Amazing healing so many people with your work

Off topic

You're literally a father figure to me. Even if most the content i view in your account is comical, i can't help but find that fatherly comfort in it. I recently lost my father (summer 2022) and I can always rely on this specific account for even the slightest of comfort. I never understood how such a small video can fill up such a big mental gap. But I'm so grateful.

[NovaDoane]

Every time Paul makes these videos, I call it his "Taking out the trash" series where all the hateful people leave his community.

Edit: Well nevermind, since you think animal farming is worse than the Holocaust.

Thank you, Rift. As a straight, cis, white male, this still brings a smile to my face and is still a very sweet thing to see. Happy pride month everyone and just know no matter who you are, no matter who you love, you will always have a safe place in my heart. Thank you to every single one of you for continuing to live your lives, even when the going gets tough. I’m proud of all of you.


Jesus I started rambling there. Sorry guys.

Edit:
I believe an update is needed for this comment: since writing this, I have officially come out as bi and have never felt better. All my friends who I have told have supported me 100% of the way and my big sisters have both told me they have my back and will always love me. Everything I previously said still stands, just with some new additions!

A post on the internet, by a stranger, video made for a vast audience, yet it feels more personal and genuine compared to anything my dad has done, thank you for your content, thank you for being the person you are Rift

I’ve been a subscriber for about 5 years now, and I’ve never commented before. Your Nurse Margaret videos were the first ones I stumbled across, and while she’s still my favorite, I wanted to say: this little Pride Month series means a lot. As an intersex person who also identifies as nonbinary, I’m truly grateful to se ASMRtists supportive of the LGBTQIA+ community when attacks on queer rights in the US worldwide are on the rise. Back to Margaret, though, and the fact that you play characters of different genders and presentations—I feel like that’s one of the reasons I was partial to your work in the first place. Even before I ever heard you explicitly say “I support your community, ” you were a great example just in the way you created such a wide range of characters with identities different from your own. I’m just over 40 now, and I did have a tough time growing up. My inner teenager appreciates the message.

You’re the first ASMRist I’ve ever encountered as I came across your channel 5 years ago and seeing how much you care about everyone regardless of who they are it makes me feel very fortunate that I found you before anyone else. You’re literally my #1 go to channel for ASMR. :)

[ThePandaKingFTW]

ER, I have been watching you for many years, and even though I dont watch ASMR like I used to, and slowly unsubbed from all other channels, yours remains because your creativity makes your videos so much more than ASMR. I love to see what you come up with and im happy to see you're as kind as I always pictured you being. Keep up the awesome work!

[LegendaryHewy]

Love the continuation from the last video. Despite the people who didn't agree with it last video, it shows just how important it is to stand up for it, and you're a true hero for doing just that. Even if it was pre-planned. Thank you Uncle E.

[BootziePootzie]

Trans MtF here, still closeted with my family. They got no idea. I’m starting hrt this year (I’m 21 so can do that without em).

I just wanna say how thankful I am for you ER, I’ve been with this channel since around 2014, and you help me more than you could ever know. The amount of gender dysphoria I’ve had the past year has been hell, dark times, but your videos are something that kept me going.

Your last video on painting the flag was awesome, but I couldn’t help but notice some comments, I wasn’t surprised because it’s something I and other lgbtq people have always dealt with, the terrible comments against us, the war of politics, when I don’t want anything to do with that, I just wanna live in peace. I’m not a political point, I’m just a type of human like everyone else.

Anyway, many of the comments were awful and I’m sorry you had that under your video, and I know that the same will happen here on this video.

It’s sad that people that have been here with us on this channel for so long leave because you make a video supporting others.

But you just keep being you, and don’t let hateful people ruin love.

Thank you so much for providing a sense of serenity, security, and love over all these years. I wish you the best, I wish the hateful people in the comments the best, may they find the message of love in this. And I wish the best for all my other lgbtq friends out there going through a rough time. :)

[SCDarkZide]

That Dr. Seuss quote is pretty profound. You went over some interesting topics, I can appreciate you for approaching these topics so tactfully while still making an effort to be straightforward with your opinion. If nothing else, your stoic levelheaded attitude throughout this entire video - it makes me want to be more like that, and more like you. Thank you.

[elliotgale]

as a very scared, very disheartened trans person living in texas... it's little things like this video that help me keep the faith. even when the government and so much of the world wants nothing but the worst outcome for me and my LGBT brothers and sisters, even when the local gender clinic gets funding cut further and further, even when my day to day life feels nerve-wracking to navigate -- small acts of kindness and solidarity like this mean so much. thank you.

[CallMeMitochondria]

Uncle rift, i must confess. I may be a man who loves women. But i won't lie to you, i do like myself a good man as well. Just as much as women actually

Yes this is me coming out to you uncle E.

[Nurse.Addison]

I an a 40 year old Nurse who didnt recieve parental love and haa survived both sex trafficking and religious trauma - AND it is so nice to know that your child will grow up being loved no matter how they identify and how you preach with finesse that you're an ally.

You`re DAD of the year and the dad we all want and need

[Edward.v.R]

Hello comment person, you are lovely. Do not look at the bigots, they are being very uninformed and a bit dumb. You are not something to be debated or inherently political. They have decided such without reason. Ancestors will look upon you and see your creation and the way your body and brain have formed itself as nothing but wonderful. You are alive, you are breathing and that alone means you are doing amazing and achieving all you are required to. I hope you find comfort somewhere and may it not leave :]

[EarthsStrongestSaiyanWarrior]

As a CIS white male, i really cant speak on this topic but to all of the LGBTQIA+ people just know i support you.

[thorjoiner]

Listening to this before my top surgery next week. No family to speak of but videos like these make such a difference. I’ll never hear this from the people I should, but it’s nice to hear it from someone 🖤
