I hope people learn from that. His experience, as a 17 yo, in trusting the adults (church leaders) and going on conversion therapy is exactly the issue we have now with the transgenderism push. Kids trust grown adults that it's OK to transition based on certain feelings. Don't do it. Wait until you are grown and have better understanding of yourself and the world. If you still feel strongly about it, then make that decision as an adult.
Being queer and a survivor of SA, I really resonated with that woman’s story. It does cause you to lose trust in others and even in yourself, but it was so helpful to hear that I don’t feel alone in that. I am slowly rebuilding and finding people who care about me to be my friends, and I wish everyone a beautiful chosen family and friends.
@@junefousek3644fuck, same 😭 like it's one thing to read a statistic that queer people are disproportionately victims of assault (of all kinds), but it's another to SEE it represented in a group like this 😢💔
@@junefousek3644 Isn't it interesting that nearly all of them stood up when the issue of SA came along, it's almost like people of a certian group develop certain feelings and identities when they get SAed as children, so it's isn't actually "inherent"
So interesting hearing someone say she didn’t expect to be raped as an adult…It happens constantly to all ages, and it’s sad to think that it would happen more to kids. It’s incredibly common to adults and I resonate with what she said and her pain, it’s not your fault
@@Flash-pp3cr Society does not praise drinking until you pass out, wtf are you on about? Not that it should matter, has nothing to do with the rapist's crime.
@@bethahbooI think OP is implying that many of these negative/traumatic experiences the respondents have had (like conversion therapy) stemmed from the culture surrounding a local church. By saying “not all churches,” they mean to say that not every church has/causes toxic environments for LGBTQ+ people, but it’s “always” (usually) in the context of religious beliefs or church environment when it does happen
@@grayfalcon3032 well that’s not how Christian’s are supposed to be or behave. But yes homosexuality is a sin but that doesn’t mean you should shame or slander someone.
@@grayfalcon3032 but yes thank you. I have seen people have bad experiences similar to these stories and I have well has bad uncomfortable experiences. Thanks for explaining
This was such a hard video to record. Hi! Im Victoria. I hope we all can learn to be a little bit more compassionate with each other. We are all humans. We laugh and cry the same. We feel and love the same. You don’t have to accept me as trans or as a member of the LGBTQ+ community . But please accept me as a Human. As a Person. We are all just trying to survive. We are all just trying to live our own human experience.
@henrysdoorhandle again what was the need of the "i dont support lgbt". The fact that you replied to my comment where I told the other rhetorically that there wasnt a need to say "i dont support lgbt", you replied with the same, tells how you actually have a hatred for lgbt.
@@sari7324 nah most people don’t care which community, faction, coalition, alliance, syndicates, unions, religion, banana bunch, zany zebras or discord groups you affiliate with. Not adhering to a particular group does not constitute hatred.
I almost cried when the lady was talking about her s.a and multiple other people got up, and then you saw her cry even more when she heard the footsteps😭
Jubilees range from actual introspective, respectful videos (like this one) vs the hateful and rage baited videos (like reps vs dems) is actually crazy. I wish they were all as pleasant to learn from and listen to like this one was.
What sucks is that there ARE introspective and respectful Middle Ground videos, it just seems like because they usually get the most views the producers are milking them to get a view as well as attention from streamers who react to "entertaining" videos such as those. It shows that Jubilee has the ability to bring in normal people, they're just choosing not to.
@@christians7071 totally agree. I remember some videos from a couple years ago, even just last year that were super impactful. Seems like their vision is skewed.
Don't forget that 1 episode with the trans people. Most of them were way too stuck up or full of themselves. Some talked over, and even name called each other. And how their forced "coming to a conclusion" ending with them just walking away not shaking hands, talking, or anything, just walking away. It was terrible.
@@jbzhummerh2gamer I forgot about that one! A lot of them blend together in memory for me. I don’t think the split between respectful/disrespectful people has anything to do with the topic or demographics, I think it’s all in who is chosen for casting and whether or not those people are radical influencers or just everyday people with lived experience.
Agreed. Gay men - 1.7%. Gay women - 1.3%. trans - 0.4%. This is a TINY fraction of the population that continually gets the lion's share of attention and victimhood. It needs to stop.
I have been a follower of Jubilee for many years. This has quickly become my favorite series. So much vulnerability in each episode. Each one makes me so emotional.
The SA story has me bawling!!! So many of us aren't able to process what happened to us all at once. Bits and pieces came back to me over months... It was my hs boyfriend that SA me & I had long broken up with him before I even realized. I remember being afraid seeing him out years later & it starting coming back to me. He even "warned" me before hand when he told me that he "stuck it in" when it came to his exs.... I was 16 & clearly clueless. I had no idea what he had planned.
Which country are you from? If it's his strategy might be worth it to go to the police. Though I know how retraumatizing that can be and depending on the country I don't know whether it would even make a difference (and in some it would even be dangerous)
I feel so bad for Victoria and I hope more people show her empathy and sympathy. Trans women are seen as inherently problematic, hypersexualized, predatory so much so that they are the least believed and most accused. Transphobia hurts everyone, women who appear on the bigger side or have body hair etc, feminine men, even Megan Thee Stallion had people thinking she was a trans woman.
The first one is all us Bisexual women lol we all been there girl. No one should be suppressed for who they love. Also body autonomy is so important, leave folks bodies alone.
This is so fking sad. Im so sorry for both the peoppe who shared their secrets & the viewers who have been through similar encounters. I hope everyone heals from their inner pain & can seek help.
I hope no one I know sees this, but I hate myself every day for being bi. I can never talk about my love interests to my friends because they'll never understand, especially when I'm talking about a girl to them. The place i live in is very conservative, and no one will ever accept me for the way I am
You are likley caring too much about what other people think, and chasing approval from people who don't accept and validate you; instead of cutting them out and moving on. THis is natural and can change with age/confidence, but often doesn't. It takes a mind shif. Being bi is not rare; and people care less than you think. We are indoctrinated to belief we are the center of the universe, like a naked person, at their weakest in a spotlight, we arent. Move on, be happy, it is a choice. And easy way to train yourself to have mental strenth is ask, when you are deciding to feel bad about what your paranoia or fear
I don't know how to say this, but I'm sure there are people in your community just like you! You just have to reach out, I hope you find a friend who'll understand you ❤
People have thought I was a closeted gay for years. Truth is the people closest to me have known im bisexual. It wasn't a broad announcement I made to everyone in the world. And I never cared to. But I believe it's contrary to our design it's contrary to the survival of our species. And I believe it's a detriment to our society. So should I choose to get married or pursue another romantic relationship it will be a straight heterosexual relationship.
Omg so many ppl related to the SA story... That is horrible 💔. To anyone having gone thru that and still working thru the trauma, stay strong and I hope you seek help from your loved ones/authorities ASAP if you haven't done it already bc they must pay and you need support, and I assure you it's not your fault. Have a great day guys ❤
As a Christian I have so much empathy for the ones who went through their struggles while being in the church because not all churches and other christian’s are like that.
THANK YOU! I was looking for this type of comment. This rare not real Christians those are people who misinterpret the Bible and make Christians look bad.
This is a really excellent video concept because it’s so true that letting out heavy secrets is so healing and most of us don’t have things like catholic confession as a space to do that. I wish we had this kind of opportunity more widespread for people.
Can I throw in a suggestion for another video? "Adults that were abandoned by a parent/s as a child Get Brutally Honest" The video would definitely make me cry but also feel seen and not alone.
this sorta content is EXTREMLY healthy and important and im so glad this way made. these feelings are normal, more so than most would think. there are others out there.
No one cares about gay people crying about their life. If they would do antigay video it would get millions of views and actually Help to improve society.
@@GG22n " No one cares about Gay People"- That's wrong for two reasons: 1. You yourself have already made 9 comments about them instead of just scrolling on like somebody that actually didn't care would. And 2. To be Anti-Gay, you have to care about Gay People even if it's in a negative light.
The first girl's story resonated with me so much! By the time I realized I was bi and was in a place to be able to embrace that I was in a long term heterosexual relationship. There's so much shame in wanting to embrace both parts of yourself when you feel judged for not being "gay enough." Too gay for the straights, too straight for the gays. I feel like I dont fit in anywhere. My partner is queer too, but from the outside we just look like a cis-het couple.
@@homo-nerdicus9099 Hate is just a word that we use to simplify complex feelings and behaviours that someone can feel for another person. This complexity allows people to say that they don't hate somebody just because they wouldn't commit violence against them. Concrete actions or thought speak more volume instead. If you say that you do not hate me, that doesn't mean anything to me because I don't know what you consider "hate". But if you don't support my rights? That's a sign that you are my enemy, because if you won't actively try to strip them away from me, you will enable or support people who will do that.
What an emotional video ❤ I’d like to add that a lot of LGBT people and people with eating disorders are also neurodivergent, especially autistic, most of the time undiagnosed because of the stigma and misinformation in our society (I was only diagnosed autistic at 26) ❤ please look into it especially if you’ve always struggled making friends & socialising. I’ve never been happier than since I found out why I felt so different my whole life. Now I know there’s nothing wrong with me, my brain just works differently 😊
I feel like autism is so prevalent nowadays and have questioned it myself. But I’m now starting to think with it being more prevalent I feel we are just the new part of normal so I’m ok without going to a doctor to find out if I do or don’t cause it won’t change much for me personally
@@ARpirateant there’s absolutely no obligation to get a diagnosis, it’s a personal choice I guess 😊 regarding autism being more prevalent, I’d like to specify it’s not that there’s more autistic people than before, which then leads to people believing it’s a trend or whatever; it’s just that there’s more awareness of how autism can present, especially in high-masking individuals, and we’re realising that we missed a lot of autistic people in the last decades 👍 those who got diagnosed during those times were actually a minority!
People just don't understand autism. They use it as a negative term when really it's just a neutral attribute in people's lives and for a vast majority of autistic people it's completely invisible. Our research on it has changed but our attitude towards it still needs to catch up.
Yeah I was molested at 8 on my birthday. I'm so glad the guy didn't like do too much and it was just touching bc just the touching has made me struggle mentally I can't even imagine what it'd be like if he had gone farther. Hope you're okay 💕
@@InfernoPhoenix123 i'm better now but it still indefinitely derailed my development when it comes to that topic, we need more awareness for this stuff 💕
When they asked if anyone related to the rape story, I kind of mumbled to myself "well obviously everyone's going to stand up, or at least all the women" and I still cried when I saw it!! But very touching how supportive everyone was ♡♡♡
I'm a victim of CSA. Hearing everyone's stories made me realize there are people out there with similar stories as me that I can have conversations with to heal. Videos like this can save lives
I was so invested in his emotion when talking about conversion therapy. When he said "I think I just did." I started crying. It feels like I can relate to his emotion even though I've never been through that
Man….i wasn’t prepared for this. The SA part, I just had to pause to write this message cause I need a break. I have experience SA since 9 until 24 from family, to friends, and strangers. The people who have done this get to continue their lives while I have to live the life of a survivor which is still rough at the age of 34. I feel so much empathy for these people. And I truly wish none of these things happened. We didn’t deserve this….it what I like to believe.
Another person whose been SA'd here sending you so much love and care. I hope you have a loving community and support to keep on your healing journey. For me, even if it's to spite the people that assaulted me I try to just keep going. Shedding more tears for all of us who keep experiencing this.
you didn't deserve this _period_! You are inherently worthy of love, friendship, respect, safety, genuine connection, and self expression. And there is nothing at all you'd have to do or be to deserve to be treated well, to be protected, to love and be loved, and to not be hurt. You didn't deserve to experience violence by other people and you didn't cause it or had it coming either. -- just in case that you have doubts about that belief, or for another soul in need to be reminded of this. Sending love and hugs if they're consensual
I have always hated the argument that straight people make of “well you’ve never tried anything with women so you don’t know,” because I was told this when I came out at 14, was still a virgin, and had not even had my first kiss. That argument just made me so angry because in my heart and in my body knew I felt these feelings towards women that I had felt towards men before, I didnt need to try anything because I was a CHILD. I hadn’t tried anything with ANYONE ! When you know, you know and you don’t have to prove it to anyone.
When i was listening to the woman's story on her SA and i was waiting for people to get up and relate my heart sunk when i saw how many of them got up. That's so awful and no one should have to go through that. My heart goes out to them
until this video, I have to admit, I haven't been moved in a long time. My heart has been hardened to the point where I feel numb and unable to cry. Nothing seemed to break through to me after experiencing sa. This video truly made me cry and feel less alone. It is such a powerful, impactful video, and I am so proud of every single individual who shared their story. It's a tear-jerking video for sure. I love all of you :')
this episode really hit home for me. they are all so strong and i hope they continue to be themselves unapologetically and not blame themselves for their traumas. the SA story also was big for me, i didn't realize i was SA'd until months later. it's really easy to blame yourself, but everyone who has been through it should never feel that it was their fault. i love all of these guys and hope they're happy.
So much about how religion damages us as LGBT+ people. I volunteer with Recovering from Religion and we offer an ear to anyone dealing with issues related to deconstruction, faith questions, LGBT+ issues and more, as well as online chat communities. Not trained therapists, but trained volunteers to help people work through their own issues and find their own answers and provide resources.. I applaude these brave people for being so honest with such difficult subjects.
You all are some of the most real and honest and beautiful souls I've ever seen. If only everyone could be as real and open as you all have been. I relate to so many of your stories. Thank you! ❤
These people are courageous and I have so much respect for them all. Just shows how much we connect as humans. I too have been through SA. in 2019. I won't talk about it as it was brutal and I can't handle the memories tbh. I just respect these people so much for speaking up. One day I will have the courage to do the same.
Im a trans guy and it’s so nice to know that im not alone, that everyone has a struggle. Being trans in this world is not easy, and i consistently deal with feelings of shame and loneliness due to my gender identity. It’s not a choice, and i deeply resent people who think it is. I am scared taking the bus and talking with people because i always wonder if they know, or might not accept me. i applaud the trans women who had the courage to speak in this video and share their stories, we do exist.
Except it is a choice, instead of choosing to deal with the hand you are dealt like everyone else you are choosing to indulge in your very specific delusion that you are the opposite gender.
This was such a hard episode to watch, but I am so proud of everyone that took part of such an important video. I truly wish nothing but the best for everyone there. It takes so much bravery to be able to share ❤
I never comment on videos anymore, but I just had to say something. Thank you so much for this video, jubilee. Truly. This video made me cry but I’m so happy that there’s still love and acceptance in the world. Please cover more topics like this.
Eating disorders are so common in just society as a general whole, but it's also so interesting/insightful to look at it from a queer lens. As Charlie said, gay men have the beauty standard of having to be very muscular. Gender dysphoria is also such a huge part of eating disorders in the queer community. Trans women often develop ed's for a "smaller, feminine" frame or for more curves. Trans men also often develop restrictive ed's to get rid of any curves or reduce chest size, etc.
please make more like this. i loved listening to everyone here, and i wish that i could've heard the others (who i'm sure speak in the patreon release) but the ones that i heard today were beautiful. they were relatable, they were honest, and i'm glad to know their stories. great video. for everyone in this video, i wish you the best. 💚
This is going to be risky to say on this account but i was SA'd at 15 by my best friend. Since it happened i have always felt like it was my fault and that i shouldn't call it SA because "its not that bad". But the part that makes this story worse is i trusted my partner at the time with this, i sobbed in his arms for over an hour and he broke up with me because he assumed i was using this as an excuse for allegedly cheating on him. I havent trusted anyone since that day. (Sorry for the rant, amazingly touching video and i am so deeply sorry to anyone who has had a similar experience)
I'm sorry that happened to you, and I'm proud of you for talking about it. ♥️ You deserve to feel like you can trust, and I know you'll find that in time.
I LOVE that they put the eating disorder one. I dealt with it from 12-23 SO many people deal with it and most hardly accept it because of the way their environment has made them think
19:58 yes, it’s so sad that there’s so much violence towards our community. It even sucks when it’s from people you know. Before I came out there were two times I was almost raped in a bathroom in high school. I had no one to tell… not even my narcissistic emotionally immature mother and father…
So you are giving them flak over something that they know nothing about? Most parents would want to know that their child was attacked more than once at school bc they would want to protect their child.
Can you imagine walking past a gay pride parade with your children and not feeling violent? Why are there creepy naked gay dudes prancing through traffic?
@@rockydennis9928 what if their parents were just unwelcoming ppl? Maybe they learned from their last experiences with them that they're not allies or a safe space.
@@rockydennis9928 it's sounds like you're running off of assumptions because you don't know their personal life 😂. Let's just give them the benifit of the doubt and take what they say at face value.
One of the many problems with Christianity and Christian culture we all experience just by living in America, including non-Christians, is how often people use the word “religious” when they are really speaking about a very specific aspect of Christianity. It’s really harmful to lump all religions in together, especially to lump all religions, and was Christianity. Buddhism and many Native American religions are all examples of organized religions. There are ethnoreligions, which are religions and ethnicities, and there are many forms of spiritualities. Say “Christianity” when you mean Christianity, not “religion” / “religious.”
this episode gave me the biggest amount of goosebumps & my eyes were welled up w tears during multiple parts of it. these individuals are truly so brave & commendable for sharing their stories ❤
Im glad these stories are being shared, our voices are loud and we shouldn't stay silent. This is what we have always faught for. So the next generation and our queer folks dont ever have to go through this ever again. Know that queer people will always exist no matter what, either you like it or not we will fight.
My meds make it basically impossible to cry, but I just couldn’t keep it together after Victoria’s story and every single person went up to comfort her. And my heart sank when I remembered they weren’t just there to console, but to relate. This world is so cruel sometimes.
Wow powerful .thank you for making this video . Powerful. This is how we can heal . When the one woman talked about rape and the other come up and said hey mamma , do you need a hug. Everyone hugged . Wow. Where is my clan ? I’m so alone .
I relate to a lot of these stories. I was raised Catholic When I was starting to realize I liked men, I went through a period of deep self loathing. Like the guy in the video I confided in people in the church I thought I could trust, but they all betrayed in me different ways in the guise of religion. I am better now but it caused me so much grief. On some level I still blame myself for trusting them. I keep thinking if only I didn't tell them I could have gone through a much less painful road if self discovery. Hearing him say he forgives himself gave me hope that one day I can say the same
@@nathanakpe4897 hey hey, the religion needs to be called out not individual people just because they are a part of a large religion. You need to divert your hate towards the evangelical Christians who outright ATTACK us, insult us and dehumanize us. Not the ones who are sorry and apologize on behalf of other hateful people whom they share a religion with. I’m gender-fluid myself and honestly the only real solution to this mess of a life we have is to call out the hate against us and focus on uniting people, not furthering a wedge.
@@nathanakpe4897i wouldn't say that, tbh. do most christans have homophobic beliefs? yeah. is it because the bible says it is and the bible is confusing? also yes. theres also a bunch of things that contradict that belief that being gay is a sin
