"Coming out" story filmed in an actual closet is the best background ever. I'm gonna marry you someday. 🤣🤣🤣

It feels so nice to hear another guy talking about those similar feelings, like first times realizing we like boys and having to progressively accept it.
I am amazed at people being able to come out, especially wanting to come out so they can be openly themselves. My family would accept me I know it, and probably because of my personality they would be more surprised if I was straight, but I'm 25 now and I absolutely do not want to come out yet. Listening to your video, I realize that maybe I still haven't fully accepted it myself that's why I'm not comfortable with it and doesn't want anyone to be involved in this. There is just this man, my psy I was seeing some years ago, that I want to talk to about it now. Because I realized even though I still identify as a boy, years passes and I have to accept that at my age I will have to see me as a man. I don't know, those feelings are eating me inside and I would like to put them out, but only to this man and no one else.
The thing is, basically everyone knew that I was gay all my life even though that was my biggest fear and insecurity, because I couldn't hide it even if I wanted to. I didn't even have the choice, so people knew or definitely suspected it and sometimes asked me and pressured me to say it but no matter how obvious it was, it was incredibly hard for me to admit it.
My little brother, 15, I don't see him often but we get along despite the age gap, and well it's really weird with him because it's with him that I get the most discussions that makes me wish I could just tell him, but he is completely homophobic, he literally always talks about gays. I suspect that it's because he's conflicted with his own sexuality, but whatever because of his words I don't feel safe, I'm always scared he discovers it if I'm not careful. Which is a weird feeling to have at 25 years old from a 15 years old teenager. Once again I talked way too much I'm sorry, I guess I feel comfortable talking here. Thanks for the space again :)

Just watched your Coming Out story. I am SO proud of you. So happy. So immensely proud and happy that I am in tears. I also left my church bc I felt like I wasn't a big believer in the religion anymore. I'm so glad that we have platforms like TikTok, YouTube, etc for genuine human beings like you who are able to express themselves and come out and tell their stories. It's a very important but powerful and personal thing to do. But you got this! You're amazing in all the ways possible and I am so glad I get to know you ❤️

Such an excellent and heart felt story. You are a really authentic person. I usually don't like coming out stories but yours was really honest and authentic. I grw up long before the internet and I think having the internet helps. I've had students tell me they were gay and so excited about finally being true to themselves. Best of luck to you.

For me, the process of realizing who I was started quite early. One of my first childhood memories was noticing a young guy who was older than me and lived next door to me. I told my parents that he was very handsome and I remember that my words caused quite a bit of consternation among the adults. Looking back, I can say that I was very lucky to grow up in the family and times that I did. We actually never talked about my orientation directly, but there were plenty of conversations where between the lines they made me understand that they accepted me for who I was and that my happiness was the most important thing to them. I know that many young people today are not so lucky, so I would like to give all young people words of support and encouragement: you are wonderful and unique! I wish you courage, self-confidence and love :) Greeting from Poland!

Wow! That text at the end about not being able to come out to your father hit me really hard. My most sincere condolences to you for losing you dad so earlier in life. I am sure he is so proud of you and full of love for you. May the love that you and your siblings bring to the world be his legacy. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt story. The way you share it with pregnant pauses is very thoughtful and sincere. I appreciate your videos. Thank you, Matt!

I came out at 44. After doing so I found out they all knew. My sister in-law told me they were waiting until I was comfortable with coming out. But they all welcomed my boyfriend into the family.

As someone who's family never accepted him, never had a boyfriend and a lot of bullies I was forced to call friends, I am really happy that your family and friends have accepted you Matthew. God bless.

That meow at 4:55 literally put me in flight mode. I'm alone midnight at home with no cats around. Literally thought it was a burglar trespassing my common area.

Similar experience here. Both of my parents took it well, despite their previous beliefs along the lines of "We don't agree with gay people but we are called as Christians to love them." My youngest brother and twin sister had homophobic reactions, although mostly because they were uneducated on the issue. My other 3 siblings took it well, albeit it was awkward.

The extended family is a split between conservative and liberal, so I haven't really bothered telling them directly. I might just show up to family functions with a boyfriend. It was church and my private conservative Christian high school where I had issues with homophobic people really.

I was really just done pretending to be someone I'm not, and just said fuck it. I'm not religious anymore either, so I could care less what others think.

I was raised Catholic. I knew I was gay was when I was young. I had a friend who I began feeling a little crush on him. Let’s just say he’s not gay. This same friend, I had my 1st gay kiss with. Going through my h.s time, I didn’t see many guys that attractive so I didn’t know if my gay phrase was that a phrase. After I graduated and that entering college, only had Grindr as a joke. But when I got to work, I started exploring the gay scene. Kinda bringing me today, wanting my 1st relationship, but finding him is a task. Running into many duhs and dead end guys.

I love how supportive your family was also the YouTube family here feel the same. ❤😊

Back in the 50's, my older brother, rest his soul, was gay, he had close male friends, didn't hide his affections or emotions from anybody, the whole family knew, but it was never considered a topic, there was no need for discussion, we all loved, cared, respected and supported him unconditionally just as any other family member or person. He moved to California late 70's with his partner where he was happy, thrived and both did well for themselves with owning apartment complexes, condo's and there own gated community homes in two states and one condo in ours that he won with a 1$ E-bay bid lol. His partner still keeps in touch with us at 90+, as a member of our family. I've even had friends and family members come out to me, having no clue they were gay. I just thought it was so cool, a good feeling that they all knew they could talk to me about it, that I was easy going, trust worthy and approachable, exact opposite of what some landlords, lawyers and divorce lawyers would have people believe. lol.

I think your brothers already had an inkling you were gay, hence the reactions you got. I'm happy for you that it went over so well with your family. Also, I'm very sorry you lost your dad at such a young age.

Thx for telling us your coming out story! Important step in life of gays. I'm happy being gay & hope u 2.♥️🙂🐻

Just subscribed ❤ thank you Matt for sharing your story. The text at the end really touched me sorry about your dad Happy new Year Happy holidays.

[ProFriend]

I'm thrilled that everyone accepted you. The snarky brother's reaction says to me that he pretty much knew already. Kind of a "no shit" reaction. As much as we like to think no one can see that we're gay because we haven't told them, most of us have some outward characteristics and behaviors that can give us away. Regarding pot, with that many bad experiences, I'd just stop using it. It tends not to improve with time.

There are very select few who I share my similar story as yours to. 95% of others who I am not close to or care enough about I simply tell them that my private life is none of their business. You’re brave to share your story. I graduated in the late nineties and it was still very taboo then. Adults have a difficult time coming to terms with their sexuality so I can’t really imagine how teens or children deal with this.

[Megaplis]

You are very welcomed to the gay community man! You can be happy being yourself and know that when someone tries to convert you, just know they want you to do things that will make you feel really bad, so please avoid homophobes and religious people that make you feel bad, and just know that people will question your homosexuality and try to put you back into the closet, so do your best to avoid these thoughts, they are just a consequence of the society we live in today and fear of being treated differently. I wish you a happy life, man. Take care of yourself and do everything in your power to be happy 😊

I watched your “Why I’ve Never Had A Boyfriend” video, and I can relate with everything you said. Among the reasons I relate are; I am 30, have never had bf, and am neurodivergent. I feel I need to express an issue I have though. You talk about the desire to be in a relationship with someone, yet you put your communication behind a paywall on Onlyfans. You also posted about asking people to tell you which influencer would be a good match for you. Both these things make it seem like your online content is just gaybaiting. It gives off the vibe of pretending to be lonely, and trying to be relatable just for clicks. It comes off like you don’t truly care about others struggles. I’m not saying any of these things are true. In fact, I truly believe your struggles are real, and I understand how much it sucks. I’m just saying this is how your actions are coming off, at least in my eyes. I have reached out multiple times on a couple platforms, and have never heard back from you. In the end, I wish the best for you, and do hope you find what you’re looking for! I also hope you’d be willing to reach out to me, and we could talk. Sorry for the long post, but I hope you read it. Sending hugs!
