"WE SHOULD NOT BE GIVING STRAIGHT PEOPLE AWARDS FOR BEING KIND"

Yaas girl yaas!

[Genevieve]

1:04 My Dad had a nonchalant response to my coming out to him. I was very surprised by his response... did not expect it at all. No freaking out, no yelling, no questions... he just said "Okay" and that was that. He said "If you're happy, then I'm happy..." ❤

My late Wife was the first person I came out to... it was the most Terrifying moment of my life... not knowing how she would react. I was totally shocked by her response... "You do what you need to do to be comfortable in your own skin..." However, it took her about 6 months to come to terms with the fact that I'm TransFemme Sapphic...

Unconditional Love... ❤

This was one of the best coming out videos I've ever watched! This is what straight people need to know, you talked about so many important things that sometimes straight people don't get it, so thank you for this video. Agreed with everything you said in this video, really good content! Loving your channel, keep going 😊

[jeannedark]

I like that you just casually brought your gf to the wedding 😅👍 Honestly that's how it should be. Not thinking twice about it.

This video needs to blow up.. everyone needs to hear this

[YoubeeAwesome]

I really agree with your points ! It really is frustrating constantly having to explain yourself or feeling obligated to do so. Or even feeling bad if you don't tell someone. Like you said it's interesting that a lot of us take on the stress or pressure to make others feel comfortable about our sexuality.

Thank you so much. This is exactly how I feel. I'm bi, but I don't really feel the need for a big coming out, and I have had boyfriends in the past, but I haven't had a girlfriend before. I've kind of always felt that I need to come out officially even though I don't think I should have to. This is the first video I've seen where there is no specific pinnacle of coming out, and it makes me realise if I'm not in a relationship it's nobody's business and I should just be comfortable with acting the same way with girls as I would with guys.

After 5 years, i find this video is still as relevant as on the first day. I really like your reflective way of talking. Saw you the first time on one of Alayna's videos some years ago but never followed up to your channel until some days ago. Glad I did this now, very refeshing.

This is the best "coming out" video! An incredible perspective on how it's such an ongoing and exhaustive process. Two thumbs up!

[uniamsmom]

I think your perspective is so enlightening! You appear have so much enthusiasm and zest for a healthy life it is refreshing. I loved this video and maybe it will help others see and understand how we all need to drop the labels and just be .

[wofra]

i think you are right. comming out is often not such a big deal as it was maybe 15 or 20 years ago. there are so many kids that are scared often with minor reasons, the over all acceptance has increased a lot. in my opinion the best way to come out: just be you and if someone who belongs to you ask about it, just look him/her in the eyes and say yes i am. the more you feel awkward by yourself the more your opponent feels awkward too.

Tbh when I first started watching this video I was like oh okay it`s just gonna be one of those videos where everyone's super supportive and that's that. But your message about straight people being looked at as the heroes of the story just because they accept you for who you are is so important. They're simply being decent human beings and that's cool but also shouldn't be that big of a deal. Thank you for this, it really made me think and change my perspective a little <3

[michelleengelberts]

My mom was the hardest to tell for me, because I didn't want to disappoint her. And let me tell you, I didn't haha. She immediately hugged me and said she loved me even more and she wanted to shout it from the rooftops so it went pretty quickly after that. Once I had told my mom, it got so much easier because I didn't care anymore. Luckily I have only had positive and kind reactions these past almost 5 years. We definitely keep coming out every day but it gets so much easier!! When I am talking to a complete stranger and they ask if I have a bf.. I'm like oh no I am into girls. Easy as that. Plus, I can definitely make people feel bad for certain things they ask 😂

Also, I hate it when people say: you don't look gay. Oh well thank you, not🤦🏼‍♀️ a couple of weeks ago a guy's asked me who is the 'man' in the relationship? ... Uhm there is no man, that's exactly the point!! Some questions are just plain stupid.

I've also been rejected at a (my very first) gay club in London. People in line that came there more often told me my friend and I didn't look gay enough. I was so mad and kind of hurt. Because they basically said you aren't gay enough or not valid.

I think this is the best coming out story i've watched! you don't just talk about how/when you came out but how coming out is treated and how we need to change that. everything you talk about is so true, and gave me something to think about.I honestly never thought of it in this way, like we shouldn't be treating our straight friends acceptance of us as a gift. The other part where you talk about how we shouldn't feel stressed about coming out because we feel like we need to explain it to everyone(which is what i stress over) and in reality we shouldn't have to explain ourselves. i keep thinking i have to tell people because if they find out at some point later(not through me) that they'll be offended, which until this video i didn't think was all that ridiculous. This video made me laugh so hard! its so sad but true.

[bridgetmazzola]

the insight in the video is amazing. such a valid perspective. we need more people to adopt this way of thinking.

Hey Breanne! I was brought here by one of my subscribers who gave me some recommendations on Canadian, queer YouTubers :))) I am originally from Brazil but currently I live in Vancouver and I'm also gay. Coming out stories are always inspiring, even if they're not that emotional or dramatic. Thanks for sharing yours! :D

[creativegemarts]

BEST COMING OUT STORY! I added it to my favorites. lol very true your never really out. ppl always think I'm straight. 😂

[iamgabriel]

What amazing insight. Thanks for a no drama story. How refreshing.

[AshleeRose]

That's so cool you could just come out to people casually. Almost everyone I had to have them sit down and talk. Not so much with my friends but mostly my family. It's so nice when parents can accept their kid without any problems. This is the first video I've watched from you and I loved it, agreed with the things you said! I subscribed, found you from a shoutout video that Bernie and Willie did

[Mojohjohjoh]

I think more people with your kind of story should tell it because I had come out to 3 friends and then came out completely on Facebook to everyone (including my parents) and I have got and negative responses so I thought that my family just didn't love me enough or care about me because none of them had the kinds of reaction that you always see and hear about. Now that it has been almost 8 months, I know it is BECAUSE they love me that they acted the way they did and I feel so lucky to have the family that I got.
