My dad was this way.. Took me 26 years to come out 😞 My family has always been church, grandchildren type wanting me to marry which made me so scared to come out. He literally felt so guilty for not knowing or able to help me. I wanted to commit suicide and told my sister so she told my dad for me before I did anything. He was heartbroken I didn't tell him. I love my family and proud of who I am now.

I don’t think it’s fair that people have to ‘come out’ if they are gay. I am straight and I didn’t have to come out. I just worry about the incredible pressure that places on some people having to ‘come out just so that they can live honest lives. I pray for anyone who is struggling with coming out. Just remember you are perfect in the eyes of the Lord, God made you this way because you are his perfection just like everyone. God bless you all out there, gay or straight, who cares, you do you 🙏💖
Colton, thank you for giving so many people some answers, inspiration and the strength they need to live open loving happy lives. Your best achievement ever 🙌💖

I came out in 1973. If I could have been accepted at an early age my whole life would have been different, happier. It isn’t a walk in the park today but it’s so much better.

This a great dad to understand the emotional and mental support of someone trying to understand who they are. It was hard for me and millions still today I struggle with being gay myself, but just keeping opening up to the ones you know and to ask for their advice.

[lancerobichaud]

that's how a dad should act with love good luck to you both

[RamboQuellz]

I know his heart was in his ass in this moment, cause coming out is scary as hell! Specially to a father.

[sadetucker]

The part about holding on to a hetero relationship out of not wanting to deal with your true self has to be the most relatable. It's so hard to let go of who you were conditioned to be, and step into the true you. That's my current situation, and I hope I can one day find the strength to step into me, and step out of who I was taught to be.

[jadesolich]

This is so empowering to even a 19 year old person like me. I've known I was different since a few days before I turned 17; my best friend told me she already knew about who I was and it felt wonderful to hear that.

[moosepickle]

This is beautiful, I wish my family could accept me this way, that dad is amazing and a handle the situation perfectly, i can only hope one day mine can do the same

[nailinthefashion]

of course he's ~super warm and encouraging~ when there's like 5+ people standing around literally recording his every move and word

let's revisit this in a year and see how well it's aged

You know, for the people who see this clip/show, we perceive it and rationalize it according to our own convictions and moral senses...myself included.

Putting all specific substance aside (in other words, irrespective of the main theme here), having that level of communication, approachability and interaction with your father, or that sense of feeling safe in speaking to your father in whatever you are going through...I never had that, so I can speak to how enviable and valuable that is.

It really doesn't matter what he did in the past. Both him and Cassie have moved on. I'm happy he's being true to himself.

[rizingzun]

Colton coming out to his family and seeing their reactions was heartwarming
❤️
But then the rest of the show was cringey af
😅

[Manberg]

"I wasn't planning on hearing that today." No shit

[sebastianjones]

There are already mean comments. If you have nothing nice to say, people, don't say anything at all! 😒

[buttermepancake]

Good for him! I hope he continues to live his life to the fullest and most truthful to himself.

[ohboilien]

I don’t wanna dislike because it’s gay content (and I’m queer myself) but I wanna dislike because I don’t support him as a person. I need to see more from him to believe he regrets and feels apologetic about what he did. The things he did were horrible. “I am gay and I was struggling” is not an excuse and definitely not an apology enough for me.

[haleysmith]

I think it was unfair of Colton to tell this to his dad with a camera in his face. It put his dad on the spot and didn't give him the privacy to process such a big revelation. Not everything needs to be filmed and put on the internet.

[jalenbridges]

I wish it was like this when I came out to my dad at 17. I was trying to tell that I was and will always be the same old person, I’m just interested in men. But my dad is always said that I had demon inside me, I’ll go to hell and that I’ll die from STD. The rest of family already knew before I came out to them and they were all happy about and still loved for it. To this day, my father never made an effort to fix his relationship with me; I’ve tried in the past and it never worked. But I’m taking therapy so it helps along with being with my friends and family.

[jacobprice]

Meh. Better than the “oh tell us something we don’t know” when I told my parents. I’d been internally agonising over that for two years and it turned out they always knew anyways.

Oh well. Live and learn.
