GIRL WHY IS THIS RECCOMENDED 10 YEARS LATER...

[dansnotremonde]

"he looked at me like I was absolutely crazy." I cried.

[riparianlife]

I'd like to share my straight ally story. I'm a 46 year old straight, Atheist male. I was raised Christian, and told that though MANY of the verses of the Bible are either Old Testament verses negated by the New Testament, or metaphors. I was taught that the Bible's verses against homosexuality were definitely literal, that being gay was a sin, and that gay people were degenerates. I was pretty brainwashed into the whole thing, so I went along with it, and hated who I was told to hate. Then I went to a job interview. 

I had answered an ad in the paper looking for employees for the town's waterslide park. I was 18, which made me just barely eligible. I thought I'd finally meet pretty girls, get a good tan, and maybe lose my virginity. I went to the interview, and was asked a series of questions about how I got along with others, how well I could swim, what my work ethic was like, etc. Then the interviewer stopped me cold with a question that seemed to have no place in a job interview. He said "Do you have a girlfriend?" I said "No.". He said "Do you like girls?". I asked "Why do you need to know that?" He said "We don't hire homosexuals." 

What he said should have made perfect sense to me, given my beliefs up to that point. Of course a waterslide park wouldn't want to hire homosexuals. Who would? I mean you'd have boys who like boys around a bunch of kids, and that would be completely inappropriate, right? So why did I suddenly feel so bad? I must have sat there for a minute, unable to speak. The man said "I don't think you're right for the job. Thanks for coming, and good luck finding a summer job." I walked out, and completely re-examined my life. Someone had guessed I was gay, and had discriminated against me. Empathy replaced all the lessons, all the conditioning, and all the threats. I lost my faith that day, and I've been an ally and advocate for equal rights ever since. 

People say that "Love is all you need". But that's not right. People who discriminate love their partners, their kids, their friends and their country. I don't think love really is what we need. We need empathy. Empathy saved me, and now there's no limit to who I can love.

why is this being recommended to me 7 years later

it’s alright tho, troye sivan is always a blessing

[eligayle]

Yes I’m here in 2020. No it wasn’t in my recommended. Yes I looked this up on my own free will.

[aries]

I don't understand why people are against being Gay. I think people can be free to love whoever they want.

So since Joey came out today, I've just been watching all of the other youtuber's coming out videos...

Dear Troye,

even 10 years later, I wanna thank you again for being such a role model for all of us queer kids and adults during all these years. You have made us feel safe, understood, right. You have let us relate to your songs and made us realize that our shared experiences, both bad and good, are part of the whole community and you taught us how to celebrate our identities. You have helped me figuring out my sexuality, you showed me how to question my identity and be happy about what I would find.

You have inspired me all these years and I have always stayed by your side, as you had stayed by mine, ours.

Thank you, forever.

Alessandro

[clobbybeeb]

am i the only one watching this again after Connor's?

[Skyler_Momoko]

#HereFromBloom This is actually so weird to watch in 2018. Seeing him so comfortable nowadays to do explicit music video's with men; you kinda forget that just 5 years ago he was terrified to come out. I didn't become die-hard until this year so I guess I just always assumed he was comfortable with himself.

[billgrimke-drayton]

Good luck, Troye. It took me 63 years to do the same. I am now free to be the person I was always meant to be and so I'm happier than I have ever been. I think that might also have something to do with the fact that I now have a lifelong partner.

[lillianpiel]

Even though this was made about 7 years it's still so relevant - I love how he talks about the importance of other coming out videos because his video is helping so many other people too. Thank you for being an inspiration for others :)

[PayneBear]

I wanted to cry when he said he asked his dad if he still loved him. I would love my child regardless of anything I could ever hear from them.💘

[KM-ldln]

Last night troye held a pride flag on stage and I sobbed because he has come so far. Thanks to troye I am happy with myself and out completely

[OwRandimizer]

Well. Recently I told my mother I was bisexual.
She told me that I was going to hell. Fun, huh?

[lunachiaraa]
