Honestly I’m so happy to see him being his authentic self, because since coming out, he seems happier and at peace.

[mariapoulos]

He seems so much happier. I'm proud of him for speaking his personal truth. As a gay woman, I try to remain open minded towards anyone coming out, each story is very personal and different.

[cliffbunsam]

After watching Colton honest and heartfelt retrospect of his conflicted lived experiences I look forward in seeing his Netflix coming out with a more meaningful understanding of the man.

[mojo_lovin_lyfe]

Being a Christian is about your own, personal relationship with God NOT the organized church, that is corrupt. I love you and support you all😍

[gayfemboiari]

I know this is old but this was a really good interview. So proud of Colton. ❤ I love both Johnny and Colton sm 🫶❤

[HeyRONNIEJR]

I probably wasn’t gonna rush to see the Netflix series, but I really like the way Johnny handled this interview. Colton has certainly has made mistakes but this interview has opened my mind to some of his experiences & challenges.

[annebaroquillo]

Watching “Coming Out Colton” I have no words but respect on him. Parents did a great job regardless if they are divorced yet the support system from both Mum and Dad is amazing, thats all that matters. So proud of Colton.

Colton has a really great story that is reality based and authentic. He is a great representative for how being closeted can make your life a scary place living in the current hate levels

[johnoasis]

Hey man, I'm completely 100% straight and would always be the one to call names and grew up been homophobic.But I put myself in coltons dad's shoes.Iv got a 16yo and if he came out to me I'd be there 100%.Im not saying my kid is gay and he has a girlfriend.But I could never reject my son.Im glad your dad excepted you.At the end of the day everyone needs to have love and a chance of happiness

[kori-leefowler]

I’ll be honest at first I was hesitant about Colton, but his honesty and authenticity is really starting to show. It’s refreshing that he is able to understand the complications of his past behavior and his new coming of age as a gay man. Plus, I mean he is very easy on the eyes.

[maxmax-hvck]

Colton's approach to the relationship with God is so very sound and... true! Yes, true is the correct word here. I absolutely love and share it.

GREAT INTERVIEW 😊
I like his positive vibe, I 'll look forward to see what project he'll be working on

[broadwayhusbands]

I love Johnny’s openness and questions!

[thefreehealer]

I get that he's made mistakes in the past but so did literally EVERYONE ELSE in the world too. Except that they weren't in the spotlight for the whole world to judge them. I hate judging other humans, no matter what they've done in life. I believe that humans have the ability to change. I never jump into conclusion, wish more people were like me. I can't wait to watch his Netflix show. I don't have Netflix right now but I'll try to watch it elsewhere since I'm really curious to know more about this amazing guy :)

[comelitekang]

I’m truly happy for him. It must be an immense relief to finally show up for yourself, stand and live in your truth. Live your life Colton, ppl are going to criticize irrespective because everyone wants to say something. Astonishingly it’s always the ppl who have made the most mistakes in life that will criticize you.

[sarabaumgartner]

Thank you Colton. God loves you so, so much.

[michaelsalsman-ketcher]

I would love to speak with him. I watched his documentary and seen a lot of similarities in him and I. I grew up in a pentacostal church as a priestesses grand child and grew up in fear of rejection and letting people down. I've been in the locker room conversations and faced the cover up relationships and I can say that now that I have come out, yes I lost people but gained my self. Stay strong, Colton, you've got this buddy. Much love

[friedhotwings]

Colton if you’re reading this. 1. You’re so hot. 2. I just finished your Netflix documentary, and I want you to know that no matter what anyone says, I can look into your eyes and tell that you are 100% genuine and your story genuinely touched me. I was fighting back tears the entire series. Thank you for sharing your story man.

[josephadiaz]

I saw him on Netflix, it was interesting. He's such a gorgeous man. I never saw the bachelor, but heard he did girls wrong. Well I hope he made amends with them. He seems to be a good person, hopefully he is. I wish him well. Congrats on coming out dude, I'm happy for you 🤗♥️🙏✌️😎

[MichelleWhitt]

Colton was one of my favorite Bachelors!! During the show, most of us who were his biggest fans, already knew he was gay before he actually knew for sure he was. Feel good in your own skin~
