I was talking to my parents this year and I told them what pride month was and my dad asked "so are you proud?" and I was like "yeah sure" and then I realized
@Curly bee even though i'm pan, i literally just tell everyone im kinda mostly gay bc half the world population doesn't know what pan means anyways lmao
@@sleepyontime5513 tbh idek anymore if im honest w you i just got outta surgery and am zazzed on medication lmao all i know is that gay=gay, straight=gay, meaning everything=gay bc phil said so
I don't really have an awkward closeted story, but when I was fifteen I dated my best friend for a few weeks, then we both decided it didn't work out. Fun fact: I'm a lesbian and he's gay.
the most awkward moments are whenever any of my family say things like “oh just wait one day when you find a husband you’ll understand” like oh...oh tina.....if only you knew
Another awkward closeted lesbian moment: my best friend (I wasn’t out to him yet), who has a crush on me, flirts with me. Constantly. You have NO IDEA how much willpower it took not to just blurt out that I liked girls. Every. Single. Time.
omg i feel that pain. after i came out i started compulsively telling any new guy i met so no one would think i was leading them on. as if i’m not the most obviously lesbian woman ever 🤦🏻♂️
Not necessarily a closetted moment, but when I came out as Pan to my dad, he made the mandatory pansexual joke, and then was just like "Okay, so girls, I like girls too, are they any girls you like, I can't help with guys, but girls I can!" And it was just so wholesome and awkward. My mom was behind us just watching and shaking her head.
So here's a kind of funny and wholesome one So i'm a trans boy(ftm) and when I was 12 I came out to my mom who responded with "Oh I already knew that" at the time I was so shocked but now that I'm older I realize how unsubtle I was about my transness, Hell I straight up asked her to buy me a chest binder without making any excuses for needing it, I'm just glad that she's supportive and didn't make a big deal about it.
That's awesome, I asked my parents for binders and wore big clothes and all that jazz and they still got all confused when I came out like I had never acted trans before. They still accepted me so it's all good, but I thought it was funny how surprised they were by something I thought was so obvious.
@no, my name is tyler I'm sorry your parents don't accept you, if it helps you don't have to be related by blood to be family with a person, so you could consider your friends as your family if they accept you
"There was no gay love for Phil at the Chinese restaurant disco". I feel like I'm going to start using this sentence in regular conversation. When I'm telling a story about something that didn't end up going my way, I'll finish the story with this exact phrase. Bless you, Phil.
This isn’t so much as a single event but an ongoing dilemma, there’s this girl that befriended me in freshman year of college(I’m bi), as far as I was aware I only liked her platonically, except when we left for summer break, she hugged me goodbye and it made me feel so warm and happy-and just-FEELS and I kept thinking about it all summer and it wasn’t until a few weeks later that I had an “oh shit” moment as I realized: a. I definitely liked her as more than a friend b. I’m 95% sure she isn’t into girls And then fall semester we were roommates which meant we spent even MORE time together and I was very happy and very miserable at the same time
One time my dad was talking about a crooked tree we we’re trying to make stand up straight, but it wasn’t working and he said “Nothing else around here is straight, why start now” and I just quietly agreed, and thought it was funny as he didn’t know that i wasn’t straight
just a few weeks ago I was joking around with my brother. I asked him "do you have a girlfriend already?" (it's sorta an inside joke) He answered " No. what about you?" and before i can say anything my mom just bursts out "yes she has a girlfriend" and everyone at the dinner table got quite. she was right but like i wasn't out to her yet. It was a weird experience
Here’s my awkward gay moment - I was in biology in my first year of hs and I was with some guys who were talking about how nice the girls from the marvel universe looked- and I went “ugh yes Black Widow” and they silently looked at me and went “oh shit” “you’re gay?” And I started laughing and silently went “...yes?”
I 100% did this, got drunk in first year of uni and yelled "I love girls they are so pretty". The next day the people I was with were like, "So, did you come out to us last night or something?" and I just had to kind of nod. cringecringe
Awkward coming out to my entire class. - I was in sewing class and I’d done a very straight stitch that I was very proud of. So I went to show my friend how great I was at sewing. And I guy overheard me and decided to ask me ‘ how straight is your stitch?’. My brain decided to make a gay joke. And ShOuT across the classroom ‘straighter than me’. And everyone decided to stop talking just as I said it. I wanted to sink into the floor to say the least.
my awkward moment: I was meeting my friend and they said "omg you look gay" and, without hesitating, in sheer panic I just said "Yeh, I am" then we stood in silence for a minute before they started laughing because they thought it was a joke...
My most awkward moment was when I was at a house party and met a super pretty girl, we talked and clicked immediately! All night we were talking and eventually she kissed me, which was great. We spend the rest of the night super close, kissing, talking etc. When the party ended and everybody was leaving I wanted to say goodbye to her and ask to meet the next day. She was totally cool with that, making me, a newly outed pansexual at the time, super excited. But she wanted me to know what's up; "Oh, but we're just meeting as friends, right? I'm only gay at parties and I was bored haha. Don't get the wrong impression haha!" Yeah, telling her I fancy her and meant it as a date was awkward enough, but she also felt the need to laugh at me in front of everyone for being interested in her. Oh lord, I'm dying inside remembering... Anyway thank you for sharing your awkward closeted stories! It makes it easier we're all awkward as hell 💕🥴
Whichever one is for 11-12 year olds (if the ages of kids are grouped from September of one year to August of the next, because I think some countries do that differently)
The other day I was driving home from a class and I saw three girls who definitly looked gay and i wanted to say something like hey youre all cute but instead I almost drove into them bc they were so pretty
I love that he’s so confident about coming out...... Him and Dan both really helped me in coming out. Yet again another amazing thing these two have done for me in my life! Thank you both so much!! ♥️♥️
Omg the “trick” one was hard to get through as that exact same thing happened to me at school. I played it off the exact same way and pretended i knew it was a prank.
Another awkward closeted lesbian moment: I was at a new years party last year, and at midnight this girl (whom I'm kinda friends with) asks me if I had gotten a new years' kiss. I said no, and she cuddled up really close to me, and says in a low voice "why don't we change that?". I kinda wanted to, but I'm pretty sure she was just joking, and there were a lot of people around. Sooooo yeah. Of course, my other friend happened to be next to me, and he still jokes about that. Not knowing I'm gay, and that the moment was ABSOLUTE PANIC for me.
Dude that's my fear! Like what if I get my molars pulled out and I just end up coming out accidentally. Or what if when I'm talking in my sleep I just blurt it out.
It is a REAL FEAR! When I got my wisdom teeth removed one of the nurses with kinda hot & I was a hormonal teen, so I'm lucky my mouth was too full of cotton balls to tell her that I wanted her to carry me out to my mom's car in her beautiful big arms. (Yes, I was a mess as a teen. No, my life has not become any less of a mess now.)
In highschool I had a friend who was that girl that every guy had a crush on as she was really pretty and confident, but also kind and not a bitch to people. I would jokingly bring up how many guys would try and talk to her or message her that we knew of and we'd laugh about it. (She already had a bf) Meanwhile, my bi panic: *I'm totally not in the same boat as all of these guys we've listed. Of course not*
Straight Friend: The guy over there is really hot! Lesbian Friend: That girl is so fit! Bi friend: They're both gorgeous! Me, an asexual: Their dog is adorable!
I wasn’t out in high school, like closeted to everyone. One day at lunch my friend introduced me to one of her friends. She was really pretty and I tried to get to know her, but during our convo she goes “I would go gay for you,” with a neutral face. And I just blanked. I think I nervous laughed for way too long and I just stared before “hahaHa aaaa nice, that’s nice” Should have went for it😓
Wait my friend said that to me but she also said that when we text that it looks we’re girl friends and boyfriends cos we get so excited 😂 so I’m confused and I’ve a crush on her as well
When I was 13, my best friend and I decided to kiss each other to see if we were gay. We kissed, and were like , "Ew, gross!" and laughed lmao. It felt super weird and gross. Because of this, I thought, "Man, I MUST be straight." I, in fact, was very much not straight.
i came out to my class in year 6, and it was so weird. the rest of the day was ARE YOU REALLY GAY? from people who were in the room? all in all, I don’t regret it because then in secondary school I was all good, and I could easily combat people intent on making me straight. COME OUT WHEN YOU REALISE PEOPLE, ITS BENEFICIAL
Came back from comic con and had bought a bi and genderfluid badge and my parents asked what I bought. I quietly brushed over them and tried to focus on the other stuff but at the end they asked "why did you buy those badges" and I was silent for like half a minute (tempted to say "cos I am lol") but my friend next to me quickly said "oh they were just holding onto them for me" Thank you friend, u saved my ass
oh my god, the prank crush sites are awful! i almost outed myself by putting a girl’s name in the site (i’m trans) and i did the same thing as phil i’m out as trans now but still closeted as bi
Freshman year of high school, a girl in my class came up to me and asked which boy in the school I had a crush on. I told her that I didn't have a crush on any boy at school (I thought I was ace at the time but have since realized I'm bi with a preference for girls). She then asked who I had a crush on, in general. I tried to think of a male celebrity that looked aesthetically pleasing, and I ended up saying that I thought Theo James (the guy who played Four in the Divergent movies) was "a hunk." The girl laughed and went back to her seat. So yeah, that's my awkward closeted moment.
Story Time: Back when I was in grade 8, I had a really close friend. She the first girl I had a crush on. Well one day she confessed to me through a code name (I had figured out it was her though because she used that name on all social media). Every one of my other friends were confused at who my admirer named “Scotty” was because there was no one with the name at our school. I was very much a closeted panicked gay at the time, and so to avoid having my parents/ anyone really find out that I liked girls, I always pretended I never heard “Scotty’s” confession. Then one day she gave me an eraser that had written in it “do you like me? Yes or No?” And I panicked used the entire eraser in my math class (pretty sure I confused my teacher as to why the highest grades student in the class had to erase so much). Then towards the end of the year the dreaded thing happened, a face to face conversation about it. I ended up making excuses and one of my lies was me claiming to be straight. Her and I are still friends to this day and she actually got married recently.
I once outed myself to my Endodontist (a type of dental specialist) while on laughing gas xD I had a dental dam at the time (yes, they also use those in dentistry lol ) so it sounded like "i'ne eh Doy" and " I'ne day"
The crush prank emails definitely still exist. One of my friends was outed by it but she also played it off as a joke by spamming random names of other people in our friendship group. I realised pretty early on and thankfully didn’t put myself(it’s the twink intuition).
yup. also, if he was just a friend who wanted to lend a ear because he actually cared, maybe he also remembers and when phil came out if he heard he was probably like: oh, good for him!
i mean for years i mixed up the words lesbian and lebanese and whenever people called me a lesbian growing up i’d literally go “no i’m jewish actually >:(“
...is anyone else just so happy to see Phil so confident in himself now that he’s out. Like this guy is making me cry happy tears cause I’m so proud of him.
not to be a sap but phil seems so so happy talking about these awkward crushes and baby gay experiences and it just warms my heart to know he is putting out the content he is passionate about
You know how middle aged women talk about their “girlfriends” who are just their female friends? My mom asked me if I wanted to ask a girlfriend over and I was what “Wh-what? I don’t have-“ and then I realized
This bothers me so much! My mum does it too and I do a double take every time I hear it. Then they say 'partner' instead of girlfriend when it's two women like can you just use the same words for everyone please?
My own GRANDMA asked me if I "had a girlfriend" once and I just stared at her for an uncomfortably long time before I realized she was asking if I had any Friends Who Are Girls at my new school 😭 For a second or two there I was convinced my grandma, of all people, somehow clocked me as gay when no one else in my family has 😭
My bisexual friend's grandmother kept referring to my friend's girlfriend as her "partner" NOT her friend or by her name only as her partner and my friend had the audacity to say that her grandmother had no idea. Like girl, she knows.
A guy was trying to kiss me at a party and I didn't know what to do, so I told him I had the bubonic plague. Seriously, instead of just pretending I was feeling sick or something, I went with the straight up Black Death.
That is how I think of anyone speaking English that's not definitely got a British, Australian, Kiwi or South African accent (most people pick up some American accent from watching American TV)
Phil is such a great guy. He has continued to make great content for us, become more confident in himself, and opened up about his past to us, all while respecting Dan’s privacy and feelings this past year.
doodooo no it’s just because dan hasn’t really been properly online for the past year and I think they mean that Phil has never pressured him to return to the internet or be in videos if he’s not ready and he waited until dan posted his sexuality video before posting his own
Jason: sending a prank website to his best mate, expecting to find out his secret crush Jason receiving the email: 👁👄👁 I mean, hats off to Jason. The fact that his first response was “so, do you wanna talk?” Seems really nice, like he was an actual good friend.
Me Hopefully. I think a lot of us long-term phandom members have learned from experience it can make people uncomfortable to write about them in an often sexually charged fictional setting and can impact them in a negative way. Good to say something if things are unclear, but the premise is a good storyline
