TheInternetBully94 to be honest he didnt, everyone on youtube who came out as gay lesbian bisexual etc. did it because its something they cannot hide. its a part of their personal identity and every youtuber who did come out did get loads of hate, unsuscribers. but they normally wont get hate if they didnt say anything so the attention thing is completely opposite of what you think conner wants. hes just trying to not hide a big part of his life and i dont understand why you cannot just respect that. if you have anything to say about someone else that is not you then keep it in your mind and leave this channel, dont comment rude things that are not true
TheInternetBully94 no, you need to snap out of it. your in denial,face the facts. who is their right mind does it for attention? you do realize how much hate he is getting for this?
Coming out isn't easy, especially for someone with millions of followers. So proud of you for being brave and sharing the love for yourself with us all.
Arelle i asking you because you maybe know it: LGBTQ RU-vidrs before they come out in public, they came out to other RU-vidr friends? (Sorry if you don't understand me my English isn't the best)
When I was 24 I was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma (cancer of the lymph nodes). I was so happy that I was going to die because the daily battle I had with myself--in my own mind--would finally be over. I had major depression for years because the terror of confronting my sexuality seemed to be an insoluble daily crisis. The wall I had built around me was higher and stronger than the ramparts of a medieval castle. And now cancer would sweep it all away and I would die without anyone knowing my horrible terrible secret. But I've always been a fighter with tremendous emotional reserves. I went through the surgeries, the radiation, the chemotherapy and six months later I had achieved remission. There was no detectable trace of lymphoma in my body. Great news but I was back to my constant fear and confusion about myself and my sexual orientation. A little later that year (1980) I went to see the movie "Fame" by director Alan Parker. There is a gay character prominently featured...a young, small, and not particularly attractive Freshman at Performing Arts High School. His hair was an orange shade of red and very very curly. An acting class assignment was to share something personal about himself that no one else knew. He took the stage and announced to the class "I'm gay." "My parents put me in therapy but I didn't go. "I JUST KNEW IT'S SOMETHING THAT I CAN'T CHANGE. "I FIGURE IF THAT'S THE WORST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME, I CAN LIVE WITH THAT. "SO I'M GAY." Oh my God, I began to cry in the theater, sobbing uncontrollably, making a scene and unable to stop. I went into the men's room and, after 20 minutes, I returned to my seat. Afterward I went home and got ready for bed. I was exhausted, but as I lay in my bed I began to think about my battle with cancer. Could anything really be worse than that which I had faced and vanquished without any hope for my future? I fell asleep. I woke up the next morning, went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Something was different. Silence. The continuous audio track of my self-bashing wasn't playing. It never played again. I looked at myself again in the mirror. "I'm gay and that most certainly isn't the worst thing that's happened or will ever happen to me. I'm gay and I'm glad to be gay. And I'm happy, really happy." I took my morning whiz and then began experiencing the tranquility and sublime joy of self-acceptance.
Extremely proud of Connor, the fact we live in a world where "Coming out" seems like a struggle and hardship is wrong. Be proud of who you are! You've came a long way, and I'm proud of you, and I'm pretty sure I can speak for a lot of us here when I say we will stand by you no matter what.
i love the idea of so much people supporting him , there's more people supporting him than hating him. connor is so brave to let everyone know something so personal to him. i love him
does anyone else just get so excited to coming out videos? it makes me so happy to see all my favorite youtubers telling the world a big secret that was hard to tell and just get that relief and support and idk it just excites me lol
I know this was ages ago, but this video is what finally helped me accept myself for who I am, I still use it to help remember the date I came out (two weeks later). Thank you Connor
i'm a muslim and I fully support gays. Like eminem said : I don't care if you're black, white, straight, bisexual, gay, lesbian, short, tall, fat, skinny, rich or poor. If you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you. Simple as that.
Honestly this is so amazing that you have found the courage to share this with everyone around you. I respect you so much for this. And know I'll always support you, my friend(: Much love, Dylan
i remember watching this video when it first came out. i was 13, and knew nothing about the lgbtq+ community other than what i had seen on youtube. it wasnt until the video that it clicked for me. i didnt realize how much of this era i repressed until rewatching this video almost ten years later. hearing you mention how you forced yourself to say it in the mirror made me remember that you encouraged me to do the same. like you, it took a long time for me to do so. when i did i sobbed and felt the same emotions you did. i’m 22 now and feel so blessed that i had influences like you growing up to open my eyes. none of my friends or family supported me, but i never felt alone because i could always come back to your videos and feel at ease. i find myself still coming back to your videos whenever i’m stressed. all that to say, thank you, connor. out of all of the creators ive followed, you are by far my biggest inspiration. your videos and books got me through the roughest times in my life and still do. hi, i’m ema, and i’m a lesbian:)
Omg connor we all love you and support you. when you started to tear up i started balling. love you and thank you for sharing that piece of information with all your fans 😚😚
Today I came out to my family. Thanks to you, I now own my own life. It is a great gift to humanity, that you have given. I accept myself now, not fully but I think it will sort itself out over time. You opened my eyes to the possibility that the world might accept me. So I came out to my brother, and he gave me a pad on the shoulder and wished me luck, all you had said in this vid was true. Now I - a crazy 18 year old dude, can go and live my life the way I truly want to live it. Had it not been for you, this would have happened to me somewhere at the age of 24. Yeah, I guess people don´t want to read all my bull**** in its full length, and I think you people and Connor gets the message I am trying to express. THANK YOU!!!
I'm sick of people that are saying "you should think about this", like really? It's not your choice -- you're born gay. Just like your born short. Just like your born a little chubby. We're all different. Every human on earth is unique in some way. Why hate on people if they're unique? Does it affect you? Having a different sexual orientation should not affect anything except who you find attractive. I'm really pissed right now, because now that I think about it, the United States is really screwed up. For over 200 years, we've hated on different people just because of who they are. Yeah, sure, other countries do this too, but in no way AT ALL, should there be any laws regulating who you can marry. I'm only twelve years old, but at least I say my opinions. Everybody should. Speak up.
Omfg GETTING THINGS STRAIGHT HAS COME DOWN TO U! THANK U SIR FOR AGGREEING WITH ME! Stupid ppl think he can "change his mind" about being gay and "re-think it". Thr fucking wrong, it is part of u, part of ur mind and genetics. If that's how u r, then be it. So if u ppl r saying that he's going against what God Intended him to b, they're OBVIOUSLY wrong in the fking heads cuz God intends everyone to b exactly the way they r. Connor can't stop himself from being who he is. So plz, be respectful ppl, and shut up.
You are right +itsmilo I believe that you don't decide! because a lot of people who are gay get bullied if they are open about it. I doubt anyone would choose this. I think you are born to like a certain gender.
So, fucking, PROUD of you Connor! You have such courage and I really think this is gonna help a shitload of people. 4 FOR YOU GLEN COCO YOU GO GLEN COCO
I unintentionally watched your "Coming Out" video exactly 5 years to the date that you published it, and this just happens to be the 23rd anniversary of my coming out. Congratulations on your 5/yr Anniversary of Coming Out!!
cheekybaby that is so rude and disrespectful just cause she supports gays does not mean she is a bad person so just keep your comments to yourself cause as a gay person I am very protective
I came out to my parents right after I watched this video. They accepted me. I want to thank you so much Conor for all you've done. Your my inspiration to be who I am. Because your right, it's not right to be able to be who you are. Thank you so much, Tyler
Im 13 and im also bi male, i was probably bi since i was 6, its only been a problem when i was 11, thats when I knew about sexualities, I also live in constant anxiety and depression, I already have a boyfriend but it doesnt really feel like it cause i have yet to come out, I have come out to my friends tho... this is a long paragraph thing... bye 😊
Alysia Chatman I am in similar position. I’m pan and nonbinary, and I have a couple friends who know and are amazing, and my mom knows. However I can’t come out to my dad or stepmom about it, because my dad doesn’t understand and my stepmom is homophobic and transphobic, and even the idea of what they might think is terrifying. I don’t know how you’re doing, or who you may be able to tell, but if you have even one person who you think will be okay with it please tell them. You will be amazed at the difference it makes. Find a friend or someone you will be safe to confide in that can keep a secret. Try to forget about your age, or your anxieties, or the things that might go wrong, and just focus on saying it. I hope it’s getting better for you. Good luck with your mental health and with coming out in the future
Before Connor came out, there were many supporters. After Connor came out, suddenly there were many haters. Is there really a difference between homosexual and heterosexual? We're all equal, and Connor DOES NOT deserve the hate that he's getting right now. Connor.. i'm so proud of you.. stay strong!
Not really. I'm really happy to say that Connor got a surprising amount of support after this! I was so glad to see everyone being so sweet and understanding :')
***** You don't get the point. Most of Connor's video receive not more than 1000 dislikes. But why does this video have 4000 dislike? Why is it just this? Why isn't there any video that have as much dislikes as this? And yes, stop having that stereotypical thinking, not all haters are Christians from Texas or from the Middle East, that's just plain rude.
Dec 8 2014 the first time i watched this i teared up so much i felt so sad for him that he had to dead with this for 22 years im so happy for u connor u are a brave man very brave i love u so much😭💙
Hey man, I'm glad you made this video, no one should ever feel insecure about themselves because of their sexuality. Its pitiful how a lot of our society shames people who are gay, its not right. People can be so cruel, I support you 100% man.
I'm so incredibly happy and proud of you. But I have to say the most heart wrenching thing, is that you waited almost 22 years to really accept the fact. No one should have to wait that long to be able to accept themselves and be happy with themselves, and I'm sorry it took so long. Thank you Connor, for making this video because you're probably helping someone who's going through the same thing, and it means the world to them. All we can do is hope that one day we won't need to 'come out' and that it won't be that big of a deal to so many.. That it'll just be normal.
I’m happy that you accept yourself bc that’s the hardest thing about being LGBTQ+ ❤️ self love goes a long way and eventually when you do come out to your loved ones, even if they don’t accept you, you accept yourself and the LGBTQ+ community accepts you 😊
DionYorkie Truth! No one needs to hide who they really are, it shouldn't have to happen. The public is becoming more and more accepting of us but there are still those people out there who wont get it. ConnorFranta Forget the haters! At the end of the day they don't amount to crap ...All that really matters is what you think of yourself at the end of the day. You be you Connor :) I still hope to one day become one of your friends! #LoveIsLove #BeYouStayYou #WeLoveYouConnor
When I was in the closet I used to watch this video (among other coming out vids) over and over and over. Hoping one day I'd have the courage to come out to my family and friends and feel like myself, it's been a process but I did it! Thank you. For so much. I don't watch your content anymore but it had such a massive impact on me in high school when I was on the verge of ending it all. If literally anyone sees this who is in the closet: it gets better, I love you.
I just saw this, which is ironic considering I just came out as pansexual to my parents yesterday. Mine...didn't go as well as yours seems to have, but congratulations on figuring yourself out, Connor! You are incredibly right when you say it's the hardest thing you could ever have to do. Of course I support you through this.
You go girl, I hope you're parents and friends will be okay with it after a while.. Everyone is afraid of change, but what you have done is one of the bravest things anyone can do, and for some people it may be scary to hear that someone you know is not exactly who you thought they were.. But you're still the same person, and I admire you for being able to tell.. Love from a cyber friend
Signe Brekke Thank you! My friends already all knew and were very supportive. My mother was the only problem. But, again, thank you, I really appreciate it
elijah huggins The best way I can describe it is that I don't see gender when I date people. I will date someone who is male, female, both, neither, non-binary. I just--do no see gender when I date people. It's different from bisexual because bisexual people will date two (or more, usually two) specific genders, whereas I just don't see gender at all when I like people. I just do.
As majority of the people here, I am so unbelievably proud of you Connor. You've made an amazing decision in letting this out. I have the utmost respect for you. I am seriously overjoyed that you've accepted and love the person you are. Homosexual or not, I will always support you. You're a phenomenal person with a beautiful soul and words cannot express how thrilled I am for you. I love you Connor, you're truly an inspiration. Thank you for showing us a bit more of the Connor Franta we've come to, and always will, love and support.
Amen. Seriously, this is my favorite comment on this video because seriously, he's amazing in every way, it doesn't matter what gender he likes or doesn't like. It doesn't matter to us, because it's just how he is. He has an incredible personality, he's an amazing person to his fans, and we all love him for it. I know I completely and utterly support him, and I also know that his fans will be there for him, no matter what.
You're gay? OK. I don't care. I don't do slurs. I like this RU-vidr because of his personality, not his sexuality. It's 2016. EDIT: By 2016, I now mean 2017. The comment was written in 2016.
What actually made me cry in this video was the end. It just got to me when he tried to act happy so the video wouldn't end sadly. I just broke down crying. I support you 100%, Connor.
been on a bit of a journey down memory lane lately…this was the video that helped me come out to someone for the first time. i was 14 (A BABY!!!) and I’ve grown so much since then (I’m 22 now, and i don’t even identify as what I initially came out as anymore) but i wanted to say thank you to connor for posting this, all these years later. it genuinely made a huge impact on me and kickstarted my journey with sexuality and gender identity / the process of accepting and discovering myself on a deeper level. thank you thank you thank youuuuu
I'm honestly so shocked but really happy that you're finally happy with yourself Connor. I'm so glad that everyone was okay with it. Coming out it never an easy thing but I'm glad that you did. All those fangirl's hearts broken XP It certainly won't change what we think of you and we still love you
Yes, I really agree on everything. I'm super happy for you and I'm also happy because it made me feel like you consider us important enough to tell us. I'm honestly proud. We'll still love you. Every single aspect of you 💕
I barely found your channel a few weeks ago and I absolutely love you and I know this was made atleast 2 years ago and I know 99% of people on this world will never see this but I support you and anyone who is gay, bi, trans, etc. Everyone is unique and beautiful
I'm pleased you're happy with who you are now. Hopefully, this helps people who are still struggling. It was lovely hanging out with you at Digifest in London this year. Good to see you find some peace of mind. Its draining having to second-guess and censor youself. x
the emotions and feelings you had prior to coming out was so well articulated. Your coming out video continues to inspire those that have same struggles.
+Ethan Mac You cant say that about people. As you can see it was really hard for him and it doesn't matter what his sexuality is he is a human and so are you and everyone else and i bet that if someone said that to you, you would not like it so dont make others feel bad. And if you dont have anything nice to say dont say it at all.
a bunch of people in the comments are saying they "knew" he was gay, you don't know someones sexuality until they literally tell you, assuming people's sexuality based on stereotypes or people you ship them with isn't definitely knowing something. you can speculate about what it could be, and of course respectfully ship people but please keep in mind that you can never be 100% certain until they tell you, and even after someone comes out/ reiterates they're straight people can always change and be attracted to people they weren't or didn't expect to. sexuality is a very complicated thing.
thank you connor. 6 months atfer this video was released , i came out to my parents and family. thank you for giving me the courage and the confidence that i needed. and thank god it went very well. sorry im only thanking you 6 years later. xoxo
notleda It went shity as fuck, little did I know that my parents are homophobic af, and they stole my phone and saw my messages to my best friend and then after that they turned my life into a living hell that I probably shouldn't go into much detail about but long story short it involves me locking myself in my room for an entire 3 days and now I have post traumatic stress because of that whole ordeal. :(
13k👎... what is wrong with this world? How could you dislike this? You should like it at least for the fact that he was brave enough to come out to the whole world.
Connor, my heart broke when you started tearing up toward the end of your video. It makes me so sad to see you cry because I don't want you to be upset. You are such a positive, wonderful person, and you always cheer me up, no matter what is going on around me. Your smile and laugh is infectious, and believe me, your tears are too, but I'd much rather laugh than cry. So Connor, if you ever read this, I want you to know that I am so very proud of you, and your videos are an important part of my life, and I thank you so much. Congratulations and stay strong!
I agree you you so much :) I started tearing up with him because he thinks it's something to be ashamed of even though it's not and that breaks my heart. He is amaaaziinngnnggggg and i have so much respect for him
Connor, No matter what, this is just who you are, and everyone who has supported you up to now will and should support you from now on! You are an awesome human being and like you said, everyone is equal! I am 22 as well, and most of my friends and family know, except my mom, I am still scared of how to tell her.... I just don't know how... but more videos from amazing people like you showing confidence gives me the confidence to tell her one day.
Omg once I saw your pic I was like omg were did I see him comment it came to me I saw you comment on Toby Randall channel you said sing at my funeral plz
Looking back at this, Connor was the one who truly helped me come out to myself and many others. He basically saved my life, I was in such a bad state of mind then and just watching his videos helped me escape my depression almost for good! Connor, if you see this by any chance, I just want to thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, for just being you and sharing your story and life to millions! Love you Connor! I just wish I could truly thank you in person one day!
So, I'm currently 13. I came out at 12 and when I told my parents my mom was literally bawling her eyes out. Saying that lesbians went to burn in the 9th circle in hell. My dad had no words, he still dosent speak to me, even though it's been a year. My parents took me to our church and had our priest explain why being a homosexual was "wrong". It scared the shit out of me! I no longer live with my parents. I currently live with with my gay aunt and her wife and 2 kids. Connor I am so glad you came out and I think the people who are your true fans will support you. Congrats on accepting/announcing you sexuality. 😺
I'm so sorry, that sounds like it would be horrible! One day they will realise how silly they were behaving and come to accept you, even if that takes a while.
You're 12 you still have so many years ahead of you and you're still growing like you should choose sexuality when you have the rest of you're life planed.
Man I hate when people use religion to justify this kind of hate. They only are repeated what program da has been drilled and brainwashed into their head, they never get to think for themselves.
I'm a Christian, but I really learned why people hate us these past few years. I'm a world tolerance kind of gal. The only type of people I dislike are intolerant people. It sucks that a good chunck of them are religious in nature. But I'm slowly finding new friends that think the way I think. Also, I already see some of the comments and I am both happy, but afraid to scroll down.
bless you Connor - i have spent 38 years fighting this and failed - The relieve when I came out too - I can relate to your testimony very closely - amazed by the acceptance now but it IS a HUGE thing to face within yourself - you are right also that it is not going to confine me , define me but is apart of who I am I am not in a relationship yet but is amazing how I can now be me and how much I love it - It enhances my caring profession, my sensitivity and discovered my counter tenor voice. Bless you Connor - you tube has been a great help too.
Honestly Connor, what you did takes so much guts.. I'm beyond proud and happy for you. Instead of hiding who you are from us, you allowed us in. THIS RIGHT HERE is why you have always been one of my goto favorite creators. You have an army of viewers behind you and we will support you. You've done so much good for this community and parts of the world, for god sake you created awareness to help raise money for people who don't even have water. Your kindness and generosity shines through the lens and all I can say is thank you. Thank you for being you and making videos to inspire creators and viewers. I appreciate everything you've done.
You have took the words of my mouth and said them for me . I just ❤️Connor and if Connor u are reading this I'm only 12 but I'm still going to love you and support u till the end even if ppl say it's not true forget the haters and just only this about the ppl who love u ❤️❤️😍😘
I am a straight girl. I am muslim and from south Asia originally. (Being ambiguous about the name of the country). but now I love you more for being honest and sincere with yourself :) Be happy.
Everyone's like: I knew it and blah... Am I the only one who didn't expect that at all!?! A really big shock for me. But of course- I hope you're going to be happier now :)
I had NO idea either, my friend today just randomly said "You know Connor is gay right" and I'm like, whhhaaattttt?!?! I feel proud of him, but I had no clue
I’m on an OG old school RU-vid rabbit hole and it’s acc insane how impactful videos like this were, I was 13 when I first saw this vid and new then I wasn’t straight, came out at 16 to friends etc and now here at 21 so proud of myself and how normalised it is in society, at least where I’m live in London
Just came across this video. This is exactly how I felt and how I feel. This made me cry. I am so greatful this people like you exist, honest people, inspiring people. Thank you. Thank you very much. That's all I need to say. Thank you!
Connor, I'm so sorry the comments are so horrendous on here. What you did was so brave and I'm incredibly proud of it. It is never easy coming out to people. Especially when you have such a huge following of people on youtube. Some might unsubsribe or whine like babies because you're "unavaiable" to them now that they know you like the same sex but they aren't true fans so just don't worry about them ok. Many of us love who you are completely and will always support you. NO MATTER WHAT! Stay positive and keep doing great things :)
Calm down baby, please don't cry, we all support you no matter what. I know how hard it is to come out, especially if you don't know how the other person will react. I came out to my dad recently (I'm bi) and he was so accepting. Something that really helped me is to just start. It will be scary but once you start some of that nervousness will fade away. As a wise man once said, "JUST, DO IT!" 😜❤❤❤ We love you, Conner and support you no matter what! ❤❤❤
I just threw out the razor in my bedside table... Thank you connor, you've changed my life. It means not only so much to me but honestly it's humbling to know that someone has felt the feelings I've felt. I've cried my self to sleep more time than I've actual fallen asleep. The lonely nights of constant wondering on how I would tell my parents... I would cut to punish myself for not being normal. People have hurt me and its sad to say i was more afraid of their opinions about me than death. Now I know that it will all turn out and I'm not afraid of anything. THANK YOU 😢
Omg this is so sweet. You shouldn't be afraid of who you are , you're family loves you for YOU. If ur gay-so what!! Love yourself dude . And stay strong
It gets better, honey. just remember this. "Be who you are, and say what you feel Because those who mind don't matter And those who matter don't mind." We are here for you.
3 years ago, Connor posted a video called, "I'm Not Gay". 3 days ago, Connor posted a video called, "Coming Out". How you've grown is remarkable... It's okay to be You, and Connor, you've realized that.
Matilda Waters I know... it's just so... sad that his feelings were that repressed to begin with. Connor, no need to hide it anymore. We'll still love you.
Olivia Isme IKR it amazing how that change took plave in 3 years. I cant utter those words in 3 decades cuz I would be scared my parents would get mad.
There is nothing wrong with being gay. It's just a way of life, no one can help it. Being gay might not be the norm, but if it makes you feel good, if you love the person your with, no matter what gender, skin color, race etc then what others think doesn't matter. Enjoy life how you want to, don't let others get you down. I can't understand why some people think so differently about gay people. THEY'RE NOT DIFFERENT, they are still the same person. I love you Connor, and being gay doesn't make you any different. You'll ALWAYS be the person that we all love
4 years ago I watched this video for the 1000th time. I was deep in the closet and when the video ended I found the courage to tell me parents one of my sisters and my best friends that started my coming out journey properly. I’ve now been fully out of the closet for 2 1/2 years i have great people around. Thank you Conner. Thank you for everything
Connor I will always support you no matter what. You're going to always be one of my favorite youtubers and saying this to millions of people takes lots of guts.
From the first video I watched of yours till this very one, I have had nothing but the highest respect for you. I subscribed to your channel because of who you are as a person, and because you have given me a chance to find myself and to be okay with being different and being me. I am so incredibly proud of you and outrageously happy for you that you have finally come to terms with this and can now live freely as yourself. This changes nothing, you are still the Connor I subscribed to, the creative, funny, coffee-crazed, hyperactive, artsy, cat-loving boy, except it may have just increased my love and respect for you. I've only told a few people this, but there was a point in my life when I had absolutely no one to turn to, and I felt so isolated because of my interests, hobbies, and passion. I had to deal with stereotypes that were assigned to things I loved even though it made absolutely no sense whilst everyone around me seemed "normal". Finding your channel was the best thing to ever happen to me, it saved me and honestly it opened up this world of possibilities for me. I literally woke up to this video today and though it honestly came as a shock, I am so incredibly happy for you. You have and perhaps will always be my biggest inspiration!
Hey man. I've never watched your videos. But you came across my feed today and I just couldn't leave without saying something. Your story is similar to mine. Even the part about being from the Midwest (MN). The only difference is I'm lesbian. But you had me crying a bit because everything you said was literally everything I felt when I finally told those words to myself after twenty three years of trying to hide or be something I wasn't. I stood in a mirror too. Every morning the words just wouldn't come out. Don't listen to the hate. They aren't worth your time. They aren't a representation of everyone out there. You've earned a new subscriber today. Be you.
I just found out you're Minnesotan! Awesome sauce dude. If you're ever back in town you should do a meet up. Idk if you're reading your comments, but seriously, it's an idea.
This video genuinely helped me so much to admit to myself that I’m bisexual and not straight. I questioned it for over a year and it kept me up at night and the thought of saying out loud terrified me. Hearing this one among other coming out videos gave me the confidence to admit it to myself and it literally felt like a massive weight was taken off of my shoulders
Don't get me wrong, I am extremely proud of him for sharing this, but I hope that someday we'll be in a place where people don't have to "come out" to others because their sexuality is THEIR business and no one else's. And I am a Christian btw. Not all of us are judgemental pricks and think being gay/bi/trans/whatever is a sin and you will all go to Hell. I think God is LOVE and he created every single one of us and he loves every single one of us. We are who we are and we love who we love.
Im a christian too and i believe she same thing you do and i've been trying to explain this to people but I could never word it correctly. You worded it perfectly. A lot of people need to read this comment.
This is for the Christians, who clearly don't understand what it means to be a Christian. If you say you're a Christian, then you accept the whole Bible and you don't pick and choose what is right and wrong. The Bible clearly states that God hates sin and will not be in the presence of it. If you're truly a Christian, you will accept what God considers to be sin. And you will not be of the world while you're in it. We can't be in the middle, we have to choose eigther God or the world, not a little bit of both. Everything is choice, we either choose the voices in our head or we choose God. Its not a simple choice. Being a Christian means that we deny our own self, because it's not about us but the one who formed us in our mothers womb. Gods intention is that we reflect him, that's the purpose of creating us. So when we Christians claim that God is OK with sin such as homosexuality, adultery, lust, greed and so on we are not reflecting him. We can't claim what we say we are, we are servants who are trying to please two masters.
hey im also christian and guess what.. no christain i know thinks like that. if god any one who dose needs to realize that god made you to love who you love so

I don't judge gay people but I truly don't get it when Christians say they think being gay is perfectly fine. Like what makes you a Christian if you just follow what the world says? It makes no sense to me.
It was 7th grade for me too. I did the mirror thing too (though earlier in life). Great job for building the courage to come out to your audience and everyone else this year also.
first saw this when i was 11 and it's probably one of the reasons i felt comfortable enough to come out so young (12) and have been out for close to 7 years now. you made such an impact on me as a baby queer and im so grateful for that. much love
