Kids Celebrate Pride NYC | Recess Therapy 

“2 people of the same gender… who have crushes on each other.” I love this omg

i’m tearing up this is incredible to see the joy in their faces talking about who they are and how proud they are to embrace themselves and talking about the perfect experience of accepting people for whoever they are it makes me so happy especially when you consider i’m from a country that celebrating pride month with this much joy is impossible. we haven’t been able to celebrate it, even talk or post about it here in turkey for years, and we hear bad news from our friends who are a part of the queer community everyday. as much as it’s heartbreaking to think about our situation here, it’s really giving me hope to see this kids coming strong to change the world!! you put a smile on my face with this video :) no matter how hard the conditions are, we’ll take a stand and find a way to be ourselves. you might be on the other side of the world, but you give me hope, after all love is universal 🏳️‍🌈❤️

“I’m different from everyone else just like everyone” ❤

"It should be your goal to make people's lives better" DAMN GO OFF 👏👏👏👏

Some adults seem to need lessons from these kids

"Love is something that's permanen. it's hard to be a hater when there's so much love in the world.everyone around the world should celebrate pride. "

Everyday I think how much I love this channel, these kids and the people who make all this happen. THANK YOU, GUYS! ❤️🌈✨

Watching this is so incredibly heartwarming. I’m 29 and I can’t imagine these conversations happening in the late 90s. When you see children being taught to accept themselves and those around them at a very young age, you can see it will reflect in other areas of their lives as they grow. There is no room for hatred or fear. They have so much love to give, and they will teach others how to give/receive love and accept all the beautiful differences! 💛🌈

They are sooooo adorable and understanding 🏳️‍🌈

I never knew how much I needed to hear little kids talk about being nonbinary! It feels so wonderful, knowing that these days there are kids that are comfortable exploring who they are. I didn't realize I was nonbinary until I was like 17 or 18 (I'm 25 now), because I just didn't know enough about it until then! That's why it's so important to teach kids the different ways they can explore and express their identifies! Knowing that there are nonbinary children living as their true selves is just 😭 I'm so happy for them and proud of them!!!

I'm crying, this is so beautiful😭😭😭

so beautiful to see all these children being so knowledgeable and open to everyone

I'm crying from joy, this is what we should have. I'm sad to have missed out on a childhood like this but happy that it exists and is real.

my heart hurts for so many good reasons 🌈💖 these kids are why we have pride!! they are so free to be themselves!!! such wise souls too

Not these kids being smarter than most of America 😩

These kids are LIGHT YEARS ahead of where I was when I was their age. I am so thankful to know there is going to be a whole bunch of people growing up with this kind of love in their hearts. Thank you to everyone involved in this, makes me feel so happy!

Every single one of them brought a tear to my eyes. Kids are gerate

"It's hard to be a hater when there is so much love in the world" That's so profound 🥺🥺

I absolutely love every single video from Recess Therapy but this one, mannnn, it's so amazingly incredible! We should definitely trust and listen to kids a lot more than we do.

Wow this is really the most beautiful video that you have done!! I have tears in my eyes seeing that kids already know so much and that they are so intelligent, kind, respectful and loving ❤️🌈

So much love for this video! Happy Pride y’all!

What a wholesale video! Really gives me hope for our future. Happy pride! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

These kids are making my heart melt 😭😭

These kids are amazing. There is some next-level parenting going on here.

Jay! This is just amazing🥳😍

I am so happy while watching this 🥰

It made my heart grow larger just to watch this 🥺💖 Happy Pride! 🌈✨

Omg these kids are SO SMART good job parents , brought a tear to my eye

Not me watching this video in public and holding my tears back🙃

The children are so well informed and so accepting 😊😊. Its so beautiful to watch ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It’s so important for kids to be able to figure out who they are rather than struggle for several years in the dark. Those nonbinary kids are awesome and I hope they continue to figure themselves out happily.

*me literally taking notes to turn into inspirational quotes around my desk* These kids are amazing. Thanks to their parents and caregivers for raising the next generations to be better humans! ❤️❤️

i loved julian and the kiddo bonding about having two moms. adorable.

This incredible and gives me so much hope for the future. Keep doing what you're doing ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

You just took your usual social commentary it to another level! These kids show us that there is still hope. Thank you!

i wish i had friends like these fellas when i was small!!

guess humanity was sane when dealing with real problems like disease, hunger and poverty.

Heya. Your bigender big brother is here. Keep being you, kids! It took me forever to figure myself out as someone who is nonbinary and it means a lot that there are kids discovering these kinds of things about themselves. It's super important.

This warms my heart so much

This kids 💯

such wise, accepting kids 👏 thanks for these interviews!

Hands down, this is my favorite channel on RU-vid! The moment when you and the kid shared that you both have two mommies made my heart sing!!! 💜

Love it! Thank you!

Woe to Those who lead children astray.

As a child, I grew up with a lot of hate being casted on me by bullies. My Family loves me but they raised me in a very rough way. They made me distinguish between Love and Hate. I like Pink Color, I like Disney Princesses but I equally like Militarism and all Military Stuff and military history. This isn't love. THIS AIN'T FANTABULOUS. KIDS SHOULD BE TAUGHT HOW THE WORLD WORKS. NOT WHO THEY ARE FROM THE START. NOBODY KNOWS WHO THEY ARE UNTIL THEY DO SOMETHING AND DISCOVER THEIR ABILITIES AND SKILLS. WHAT YOU'RE PROMOTING IS PERVERSION, DIVISION AND STEREOTYPING OF LGBTQ+ PEOPLE

I've searched for this and now I'm crying of proud ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜✨️

THIS VIDEO IS SO IMPORTANT THANK YOU

I wish I would have had those kids in my peer group when I was in their age.

These kids made me cry! Love to see them expressing theirselves and also spreading this kind words!

I didn't want the video to end! The most heartwarming 5:53 minutes of my day :") Love the Pride episodes 🌈 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 🌈

It makes me so happy to see nonbinary kids! You got this kiddos! You got a nonbinary adult rooting for you!

This gives me hope. 😭

Anyone that thinks it isn’t appropriate or possible to have conversations on these topics with children needs to watch this video. They are all so well spoken and it is clear that they grasp the concept and are not only applying it to others, but also themselves. This gives me so much hope for the next generation.

this video is absolutely beautiful. to see so many kids accepting who they are and yet understanding that it is a journey for others too like. it just fills me with so much warmth and happiness and hope

This is great, I love your videos! Keep going 🤍 Love from Portugal 😘 🇵🇹

Love is love xoxo

These kids rule omg this is so amazing it’s too fantabulous ✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈

Omg slayyy these kids ate that upp

This is why I love NYC. And have a glimmer of hope for the future. These kids are fanTABulous ✨

Sooo friggin wholesome 💛

this is so sweet and heartwarming, bless their parents for raising them so well. i WISH i grew up with kind, accepting kids, instead of bullies raised by monsters.

i wanna be as smart as these kids good lord

“become accepting” THEY!

IT SHOULD BE YOUR GOAL TO MAKE PEOPLES LIVES BETTER. Best quote I’ve ever heard from a kiddo. That made me tear up 😭 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm tearing up, this was so sweet 🥺❤️ thanks Julian for doing this! i hope to raise my child just as smart as these kids

blown away by their wisdom

Wow this kids are awesomw

Thank you so much, Julian (and the rest of the recess therapy team), for being able to create such amazing videos. I keep coming back to watch this one, mainly after being exposed to a lot of homophobic/transphobic opinions, just because of the pride and happiness these kids are able to display, and the lack of visible hate comments towards this video. I know you probably won't see this amidst all the other comments everywhere, but thanks for making recess therapy such an inclusive space. Keep up the great work!

This is so nice, thanks for being so gentle and silly and encouraging conversations like this.

This made me so happy! Thanks Recess Therapy! ❤️

I applaud these parents. Wish I had parents like that at that age

💖💖💖💖

i have such a big crush on julian

I’m not crying YOU’RE crying!!!

these kids are so smart and empathetic, it’s very nice to see 🌈❤️

Oh fun fact I didn’t know julian has 2 moms! 🎉❤😊

FanTAAAAABulous

Kid: "Fantabulous!" Me: "That's like their favorite word, isn't it?" Kid: "...one of my favorite words!" At least they're self-aware 😂

This video is just LOVE and it warms my heart ❤️❤️

"and girls can wear shirts"

“Its hard to be a hater when there is so much love in the world” 🥰

These kids are wiser than most adults, honestly.

What incredible kids! This gives me so much hope for the future.

I think things are looking up ❤

I'm in complete awe of every interview, this is an outstanding initiative, the kids engagement, eloquence and agile thinking is beyond ! Deeply touching and moving...!

Isn't it weird where a kid in Pride month where some men are just nude

It’s very hard watching this coming from a very conservative country and family. I’ve been told my whole life that this is not okay, not “normal”. It’s weird to watch kids be exposed to this stuff. Just so you know, it’s 2023 and recently I’ve filled in a social survey the last question in which was “Do you think we should teach sexual education in schools”. My answer, of course, was a resounding YES. But you know, what? Even if it’s a faze in these kid’s lives, even if they change their minds and become something else later on, it’s okay! They are exploring, and that’s wonderful. FanTABulous, if I dare say so myself:)

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

All these kids just, WOW! 💖💖💖

Saving this!!!!! can show people I know that don't (want to) "get it"! Old friends told me to "get over it" when FINALLY came out as bi at 60. Love the young Enbee!!! 🎉🙌💖 These young people are changing the world 🌎🌍🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ You're an educator with these videos 😂👏👏👏👏

This is such a beautiful episode. Learned so much from these kids❤❤ Love and kindness

love this!!

This is awesome to watch! I remember wanting polly pockets as a kid, but I wasn’t allowed as they were for girls. And these kids are all encouraged to be themselves, to love and let love, and to spread acceptance and happiness. Imagine what our world would be now if this is how kids were encouraged to be 70 years ago. I’m excited to see the future

Omg I love these kiddos ugh this really touched my heart 💖😭 soo happy to see so many kids being raised with love & acceptance 🙌🏳️‍🌈🌈

i personally want more duration for recess therapy😁

It's the fact that these KIDS, CHILDREN! have so much respect and maturity to the whole LGBTQ+ subject than most adults, clearly YOU AREN'T BORN WITH HATE AND JUDGMENT IT IS TAUGHT! these videos just prove the fact that kids have a whole upper level of mental capacity that we assume they don't have...

Best video I’ve seen in a while 🤩. I’m sharing it at my workplace.

Seeing non binary kids makes me so happy! I am glad you found out non-binary folks so they can talk! And yeah our goal should be make other lives better... The beauty beyond the words of these kids is just amazing

Sobbing 😭 ❤️🧡💛💛💚💙💜
