Glad he has his brothers back. A lot of people wouldn't be so loving or accepting.

I came out in 83, at 26 years old. When someone told my younger sister she said "shit, I always knew that " 😆 🤣 😂
She just couldn't understand how I couldn't know who Boy George was....

chris seems like such a good brother i'm glad that nick is accepted <3

If we quit making sexuality such a big deal, maybe it will stop being it. Same with race. Let it go and let's just exist as we are

[hoematica]

I honestly would probably forget I'm gay if it weren't for other people finding their own special ways to remind me on a regular basis. It's such a dehumanizing experience to feel like people are constantly trying to "put you in your place" or remind you you're different and they know it. Especially when those of us that are gay don't care and are also ok with it!

The brothers show more christian love than most Christians in the US.

thats so true! i remember when my sister came out to me as bi, and i wasn't surprised at all because i just knew. i was just proud of her. i knew she had been thinking about it for a while after she said that she thought I would make homophobic comments towards her.

When your close to your siblings they always know lol

[frankg]

You guys are amazing! Love your attitude towards Nick!✌🏻💙👏🔥🏳️‍🌈🕊️🙏🏻😊

He’s bi, actually. Oh, wait. Wrong Nick.

There are a lot of athletes with a homosexual or bisexual orientation. Let's not play up the old-fashioned stereotypes.

"I don't know what it was that was making me think that." Yeah, he knows. He's being polite.

I completely get what Chris is saying here. For a lot of people growing up gay, it's a stressful and exhausting experience, constantly navigating a minefield where we second guess everything we do in case it exposes us. We watch what we say, how we say it, who we say it for, how we stand, how we laugh, how we hold our bodies, what we express an interest in - literally everything. We aren't ourselves and spend our youths playing a muted version of ourselves, lying constantly and living in fear of giving the game away. For Nick, I can imagine this was even harder because he would be comparing himself to Matt and Chris in an effort to not stand out. Coming out is a massive thing and can, in most cases, remove or at least lessen the need to be constantly mindful of yourself. However, living like that for years, especially your formative years, has an impact and a lot of people never completely get over it. I personally don't think I have and I think it impacts how I live my life today.

Chris and Matt both come across as incredibly supportive and the love the three of them have for each other is obvious. Nice to see.

[Idkmanjustgowithit]

I have no clue who these people are but good for Nick

[markalexander]

Totally get what Chris is saying. I've had the same best friend since I was like 6 and I knew he was gay probably before we were even in Middle School. Obviously I didn't like 100% KNOW, but I kind of knew, if that makes sense? So by the time he came out when we were like 14/15. I was like Awesome! Finally! 'cause I knew it'd be such a weight off his shoulders and he could be himself more and feel more relaxed.

has matt been interviewed on zach sang yet?

[gregconger]

Is there a Nick coming out story. Would love to hear his version

[LilyReeks]

i came out as trans and bi when i was 9 and every time my family calls me a girl im scared to correct them and they know im trans but forget to call me a boy and call me by my name i chose. everyone i meet i have to tell them im trans and bisexual by the way and ive lost so many friends because of that

[jamesh]

This is the kind of F#%D up brother shit that happens, , ,
Ur very lucky my dude!

[nicolasmagalhaeslussim]

Hate the stereotype that gay people don't like sports (not saying that in this video they said that he didn't do sports because he was gay)

But I feel like it's almost an unspoken truth that gay people can't do sports or be good at them I'm gay and I have done sports all my life and I love going to the gym

Basically what I'm trying to say is you can do whatever you want you don't have to not do something just because there aren't a lot of people like you doing it
