That ending really stood out to me. You just want to exist, but can’t because everyone is arguing over you. Your life has become politicized, when you just wanted peace. Strong message.

[savannahray]

Is anyone realizing this this has been in existence for nearly a year now? It seems like it was released yesterday

[insideseptiplieredits]

Can’t believe it’s been 9 months already. Ever since he came out with this video, it’s obvious how free Eugine is now that he doesn’t have to hide who he is

[cfrankwitts]

Watching this just after Eugene announced his official retirement from the Try Guys hits harder then when I watched this for the first time. I started crying on the first note. There is so much more in this video then I realized. Such an incredible and talented human being. All the best for your future adventures Eugene!

[oneofthemany]

He started surrounded by the family he grew up with, and he ended surrounded by the family he grew to find.

[primrose]

I LOVE the ending. Returning back to the same living room set up as the beginning, the people who sit beside him are his new family. Just beautiful.

[sophiaz]

When Eugene posted this 5 months ago but everyone is still commenting on it like it was yesterday.
True art👏🏻

[cmtangoe]

It's still crazy how liberating and painful it is to see our story portrayed with such accuracy. It is a good, honest pain.

[paigemorse]

....no one gonna talk about the fact that the girl the the yellow section was wearing dark gray because she was becoming supportive and started to accept him for who he was?

[meowmeowmlg]

I can’t believe Eugene was able to tell a whole story without saying anything.

[theartofeyecontact]

he really said: ‘and i am still standing here, proud. despite all the f*cking hate.’

[friedlemon]

Still one of the best art performances I've ever laid my eyes upon...

[Shwee]

I like how he and his lady dancer departed, embracing as friends. We need each other.

[francescatozzi]

it’s so sad how in the end it feels like everyone is too busy fighting to talk to him. All the messages in this video are so powerful

[leafyveins]

Sometimes I think everything sucks and then I remember Eugene Lee Yang was gifted to humanity.

[ambrea]

My daughter showed me this video to come out to me. She was so scared. Imagine her suprise when she told me, mom I like girls and I looked at her and said, so do I. (I'm bi) I know there will be people in the future who may give my baby girl a hard time because of who she loves but she knows mom's got her back always. Thank you eugene. Your video gave my daughter some courage.
Edit: to clarify my daughter is 17 years old and I have no doubt next year when she begins adulthood she will take it in stride. Also, I showed her all of the comments left by everyone and your heart-felt comments and well wishes made her cry. I was also like to add for those wishing her love, she has a amazing girlfriend for the past 6 months AND they recently got accepted to the same university so their going strong and I couldn't be happier for them. I've been crying alot she graduates this spring and I'm not ready. I know I raised her well with so much love and compassion so I know she'll be ok. I can't wait to see what she becomes. Again, thank you to everyone who commented from the heart. I have known for years that she liked girls, mom's know. I was waiting forever for her to feel ready to tell me. I'm very proud of my daughter. Thank you all. We love you all. ❤️

[ipodjunkie]

That scene with a Eugene in the blue dress is powerful.

[sarabolandrina]

Eugene in a video some time ago: "i'm good only at hip hop"

Eugene now: *nails every move*

[ashleeerin]

I'm not gay. I dont comment on things. I'm rarely moved. I'm watching this at work. I'm crying in a cafeteria. EUGENE.

[KlNETlCS]

Got here because I kept hearing about all the bullshit that guy is putting you guys through and wanted to give some support. Did not expect to weep. As a queer Asian who is the same age as Eugene and only came out in the past five years, this was incredibly poignant for me. Thanks, Eugene.
