The incident with the razor reminds me so much of scenes when I wanted to harm myself. Your resolve to never hurt yourself is something that I wish I had the strength to adopt. I hope I will someday have the capacity to be kind to myself. I'm watching "Coming Out" stories to develop the understanding and the strength to come out myself even at this late date. Thank you for showing me those 'kinder waters'.
Eu fiquei muito feliz ouvir sua história, você é uma pessoa maravilhosa sei que isso nunca vai acontecer mas seria um sonho te conhecer um dia, tudo de bom!
You are so awesome and very good looking. I wish you were my boyfriend. You remind me of my first long term relationship- the love of my life. It only lasted 3 years but I still feel love for him after 37 years since we broke up. I hope you have a wonderful life.
Great video. Once again the universal truth is apparent: Religion = shame, judgement, persecution and mental anguish that can result in self-harm or suicide. The sooner we stamp out all unhealthy superstitious beliefs the better.
Kevan, I'm so glad you made this video. Excellent job! These videos are not getting redundant - thank you for sharing your story. Every story is unique and I hope everyone continues to share and help others.
sorry for the shallow comment but your hair is God! haha I struggled a lot coming from a catholic background, but as I educated myself and started reading about anthropology and philosophy I understood that religion is man made and as such it can be unmade or recreated, and that faith and spirituality have nothing to do with religion or church, I consider myself a very spiritual person but I don't embrace any religion.
I was moved by your well-told story and your eloquence. Your blue eyes don't hurt either. Good luck to you on your journey. I'm subscribing. Curious if you're still in Alaska.
Hi Kevin, I just found your vlog and watched your "Coming out Story", I loved it and I'm so pleased your family and friends were so supportive. I also watched your video of you and Taylor in the Dunes with the Drone, great video. I gave them both a Thumbs up and I've subscribed. Have a great week, from John in the UK.
I can relate to your story more than most of the coming out videos I've seen because I grew up in a very conservative religious environment and went through many of the same struggles you did. Unfortunately, I was going through all of that in the early 70s, and coming out did not seem like an option at all. I was almost 30 before I told someone I was gay, and really only came out to the general public within the past year (and still not to my mother, who is 88). Not only did I miss out on being openly gay in high school, I didn't get that in college or graduate school or in my young adulthood. If only I had had access to a video like this back there, my life my very different, and I have nothing but admiration for you and others who have been able to except themselves and be out at a time when I could not even have a imagined doing so. Thanks so much for your eloquent words.
Hey Kevan, long-time counselor here. I think your video is both perfectly accurate regarding the emotional conflict involved in the 'coming out' process and also is very courageous on your part. Not that it means anything, but I TOTALLY support and endorse as accurate every word you have said here. You have done well, and your words will help others. Thank you....Ray
AWSOME video!!! I am gay also I understand growing up in a religious Catholic home. I know one thing there's NOTHING wrong with being gay!!! GOD made us gay for a Reason we don't choice our sexuality. I know your video will help many gays trying to come out. I am out and so glad I am!!!
That was a great story! I love how you make course corrections in your life with those new "directives" i.e. start treating yourself better, no longer deny being gay, etc. A person can only live with that kind of oppression for so long, without hope of things getting better, before that darkness you felt comes. I'm very glad you got through that and are telling your story. Enjoy life!
It's always important these coming out videos, although I've never pretended to be straight or was openly gay, I was already living with my partner for many years , his family always knew and they were ok. his mum was our great ally, she passed away some 5 years ago and it still hurts, on my side they always treated us as merely friends, so one day a decided to stop that and open my heart on social media to show the world we were a couple, and the response was great from aunts,cousins,my dad was a sweet heart calling me "my angel" the first time we talked over the phone after that, it was years ago, so watching your video brings me back to when I was a loner inside this unbreakable shell, living a lie, a fake life and the massive feeling of liberation after coming out, every time I watch these videos I go over the moon, I'm so happy for you. All the best and thank you for sharing your experiences.
Well done on a great video with great common sense advice for others in the same position. As a 62 year old my closest friends of my age are still so closeted that it's sad and they can't believe how open I am with my family who they all know. I tell them that I want to be a positive roll model for others that might be born in the family. But how sad and unnecessary to be like that at our stage of life. I drive a Land Rover and the common Land Rover motto is "One life, live it" and that's my advice to any young gay guys, don't have regrets. Live your life true to yourself even if you have give up family or move away from your home city to be yourself. IT DOES GET BETTER. Love from South Africa🇿🇦💜🏳️🌈
pipedreams1685 Thank you so much. ❤ I wouldn't describe it as bravery, but sometimes it definitely takes courage. Bravery is the absence of fear, but courage means living in spite of it. And we all have the potential for courage inside of us, including you. 😘 I'm also betting that you're much smarter than you give yourself credit for, friend. :)
Farah Usmani I'm not sure what point you're trying to make - I didn't spit on Christianity, nor did I compare myself and circumstances to places where it is much worse to be LGBT.
