MY FIRST GAY EXPERIENCE IN HIGH SCHOOL - STORYTIME 

Lol he's so cute with that country accent

You brought a tear to my eye bud. Every parade I marched in, every petition I signed, every congressman I wrote has brought me to a moment when a young guy can come out without, as much, fear of rejection and retaliation as there was back in the day. Kudo's for you being you!

A masc (and southern) gay guy.... hard to find these days and I think that's why I instantly fell in love with you

As others have mentioned here, you are fortunate to be able to openly express your gayness today. Because back in the day (not too many years ago, really) being only a hint of "gay" could get you beaten up or killed as a teen boy. Us older dudes sometimes complain about "things changing for the worst" in today's world. But actually, some things have definitely changed for the better!

Stay true to yourself young man. You are something unique. You see in my day boys like you would stay in the closet. I am also a Texan born and raised I've never left San Antonio. Now before you or anybody else chimes in with "boys like you" WTF does that mean. Things were different when I was your age back in the late 80's and early 90's. To many good gay Christian boys either killed themselves or got married. The fact that you live your life open is a sign that we are going in the right direction. It's not just your channel but so many others. I love the pride demonstrated by this generation of gay and lesbian kids. Good Luck with your channel.

I don’t know why I keep coming back to this video, I guess I can only dream of having a boy love me

"Lets go down to the tennis court and talk it out like yeah"

If you’re ever in Tennessee man, I want to shake your hand. Your videos have helped me come to terms with myself and be able to come out to my family. You and your husband are such an inspiration for the gay community being from the south.

He Asked if you was gay and you replied "Yeah. I'm thinkin' so" In that voice and accent lol. The most masculine first gay experience of any millennial

is that his real voice and accent? whewww child

you're VERY handsome! wish u were in my area

the fact that he's gay and still refers to a guy as a "dude" is so adorable :3

I like a gay guy with a deep manly voice and no mannerisms, we can hung out without being noticed as couple, just bros hangin' out....

Sounds like a fairly high school standard relationship. Dont think either of you handled it great, but hey, nobody handles their high school relationships perfectly

I’m happy that you are living in a time when you can be who you are and know that the intelligent, sane people in the US respect and support you.

I've recently discovered this channel "accidentally" and I've gotta say your honesty is very refreshing; not only in this but every video that I saw thus far. I love it! No wonder your channel is blowing up! I love storys told from the personal perspective and the fact that you own up to your "flaws" is even more endeering and relatable - even considering Im not from an english speaking country. Congrats!

Damn!! So hot. I was in love with my best friend in high school. I wanted to kiss him so bad. Sometimes I felt like maybe he felt the same way but ultimately nothing ever happened. It just tore me up. You’re so lucky you got to experience something like that. The first time I ever made out with a guy I was 19 and it was soooo much different than with a girl. Felt so amazing.

I am virgin 😂 like a virgin (no kissing,not even a hug)

Thank you very much. It was very nice to hear you thank us, older gays, for paving the way. My deceased husband and I both remember Stonewall and all the hateful stuff we had to go through. Sometimes even violence just leaving a gay bar. We managed to be together for 35 years, before he died 2and a half years ago. We never imagined that we would be legally married. It just didn't seem possible, but we did get married. So a big thank you for acknowledging how much work it was. You don't hear that often. Oh and by the the way I love your You Tube show. You guys are carrying he torch now and you do it so well. Thank you again Bill Begley Denver, Co

love how you say the word DUDE!!,You are off the charts cute

if I found myself a gay cowboy, I'd be set

Lol you're all being so harsh on him because of what he did in high school. High school is a hard time for a lot of people, especially someone who is gay and isn't out yet. He wasn't sure what he wanted and he was more immature then. He is a grown man now and realizes he hurt the boy, but he stated that he didn't really realize til after and that he was sorry/felt bad about it. We all make mistakes (especially in high school).

It is so adorable that you’re such a dude, dude. Lol

Not only is this young guy absolutely stunning but has the SEXIEST voice i've ever heard!!!.

oh man, its so tough when you're coming out and someone expects you to know yourself well enough to jump into a relationship.

You are very cute. Thanks for sharing this important part of your life.

I love the fact that the dog is so unbothered by all of this.

I enjoyed your story especially told in that uber deep voice. So nice to hear a gay guy who does not sound unnecessarily effeminate.

This guy has a sexy voice !!

I love the "but, he was good" with that dorky little smile

I didn't come out in high school. In my day it wasn't taught or accepted. I give credit to adolescents who do so. But also respect those who aren't ready or feel they wish to keep it private.

The Dog Behind is So Cute......!!!

I don't know but Southern accents are so attractive and I now live in Georgia so Jesus, God all mighty

I feel ya. I'm a born and raised Texan and I was born bisexual. It was obvious to me that I liked both boys and girls growing up and of course when puberty hit in Jr Highschool I was a complete wreck. You look very athletic and I'm sure that you understand just how difficult it is to stand right next to one or two very cute guys in the boys locker room. Watching them dress and undress. Seeing them standing right in front of you completely naked while you're both toweling off after the showers. It was torture and I don't know how I managed not to pop a woody everyday right in front of everyone there. It could have been because of the one other kid I saw who popped a boner in the showers and the beating and ostracization he had to endure. And I'm pretty sure he was straight. But not even the coaches would stop the ugly behavior of the rest of the homophobic boys. But this was in the seventies. A time when people were actually murdered simply for being gay. In Houston there were more than one incident where people would go out in groups specifically hunting for gays. I remember one such group was caught after murdering two men walking together. And it turned out that they were both straight to boot. I've lost every good opportunity to be with a guy that I actually find attractive. Because of the era I grew up in. There were three or four different boys who I really liked and I thought might be gay or Bi too. But I just couldn't take the chance from all the examples of actual gay kids getting caught together and then beaten daily and nobody would protect them. I just couldn't chance it. It did a real number on my social abilities and my confidence throughout my life. Good thing I liked girls too. I believe that was the only thing that stopped me from getting the pain over with back then. But now I'm a sixty years old Man. Living alone in the East Texas Swamps. And I have never found out how it would feel to be with a guy that way. Partly because of my self confidence, and partly because of my specific attractions. But I'm past my due date anyway. I'm just glad that you took the chance and I hope only the best for you.

Good story. The guy had a crush on you. You probably understand that now. His behavior wasn’t perfect, but I bet now you can see that shit happens and the guy probably didn’t mean to hurt you.

OMG YOUR VOICEEE !!!

Can't believe how judgmental people are here . . . "You shouldn't keep saying dude, you shouldn't say chick, you shouldn't swear so much, you were a dick for leading the guy on" . . . . etc, etc. It was his first experience with a guy !! . . . he realised the guy wanted romance, he didn't . . . he felt bad about it. People break up . . people get hurt . . people get over it . . people reflect on their behaviour and (hopefully) act with more consideration next time. Nobody's perfect !!

YOUR COMIN OUT VIDEO WAS IN THE NETFLIX ORIGINAL ALEX STRANGELOVEEEEEEE

I wish i could experiment with a boy like that. Anxiety makes it really hard to just relax and be myself in front of people. I don’t really have real friends to begin with. I really hope one day i can have an intimate relationship with a boy

Your voice is dreamy

Dude you are a great person with enormous balls for kindly letting the world of heteros see into your gay world at a time when things are just developing.... You bring back my own memories of my first time in high school, WOW hadn't thought about it in years.... I graduated in 1976 from a great high school in central Texas and went to the University of Texas where I moved into the dorm with the freshmen football guys, err we shared a floor. I met my first boyfriend in the first day in the Jester East Piano lounge, he was from C Springs, Colorado and we had rock climbing, backpacking, and poetry in common. I don't think I ever spent a night alone that semester, my roommate did not have a problem with my guy sleeping with me, as long as I said nothing about his girlfriend sleeping with him.. When you are young people are so adaptable. My roommate got his feelings hurt if he didn't get a goodnight kiss. My how wonderful the world was at that time. Smoked a lot of pot, did not drink alcohol, ate alot of mushrooms, dropped LSD on the weekends and still had a 3.9 GPA at the end of my graduation with a degree in engineering. I turned 60 years old this year and I will tell you that inside I still feel just as young and full of life as I did at 18, I just don't have to try all of those crazy things now. My love came down with leukemia in the middle of our sophomore year and was gone in 4 months. I have yet to find another that I can love like that first time.......... The moral Appreciate what you have today, for tomorrow it may well be gone. Good luck dude, keep your pecker up!

3:13 *Idk what the fuck that is* 😂😂😂

Love his voice!

Dude you make me more confident to be myself a masculine gay man thx bro

first time he talked, I thought he was just joking with the deep voice and the accent.

Such a cute story, glad it didn't end too horribly maybe not the best but still cute at the beginning

OMG...the way Zach says "dude" is adorable.

Awww, things ended between u guys before it even started. Still, you are ahead of the pack with ur feelings. Most guys in H.S. are too scared, period. Everybody complimenting on ur looks, but I really like ur sincerity and honesty.

Sweet little story. I hope your life is as happy as you deserve it to be.

You're a very cute guy! Too bad what happened with Mike, but just chalk it up to immaturity. We've all been there and look back and regret moments of our past behavior that could have been much improved. It's life. You made this video 7 years ago and not sure how long before the video you had your first experience with Mike, but I'm guessing you've grown a lot in the years since, but 10 years from now you'll look back and right now and feel you've grown significantly. I've found that growing up really never ends, it's an ongoing process for us all. So, this was the first video of yours I've ever watched. Should I watch more? ;-)

Not trying to be mean but am I the only one who wants him to say "baby lock the doors and turn the lights down low."

Oh the highschool days. I actually got a lot of attention from guys in highschool. They would call me "pretty boy" and there were times where I felt like some of them were flirting with me but I was in the closet and too scared. I remember a couple of guys would play footsies with me under the desk in the classroom but it never went anywhere. I did mess around with a guy who drove me home from school but we only did it once and then never talked about it again. Its really sad that so many guys can't experience dating and courtship. Many of our first times are just sexual and then it becomes a habit rather than going on dates.

My first time was very similar to yours. I was friends with two brothers and had a crush on one so I hung out with the other one just to be close to his brother. I was curious and Afraid but as my curiosity grew so did my balls lol awesome story bro!

If your friend kiss u on the lip does it mean you (or me) are gay??

"are you gay?" "yeah, I'm thinkin' so" lol

You actually are fucking awesome

Omg you have a really lovely voice..

Trust me, there are a lot pretending to be straight, and some are really good at it

Man, you are the most courageous man I have ever seen. It is very rare to find someone that is willing to open a very intimate part of their like in this way. That is very cool!

You're one of the most level-headed LGBT RU-vidrs. I love the honesty and lack of ego. I like how you accepted your part in his drama.. but we've all been there when one person is way more into it than you are.

Your a cutie and your Texas accent!!

"that night we decided to meet up at the tennis courts" ... I wonder if they talked it up like ya?

I never met a guy that was attracted to other guys like you. You seem conservative, the masculine personality type, and not lustful. Sexuality to you is just sexuality, not everything like a god. You would be my type of guy. Not flirting just complimenting :)

Love hearing you say Dude. Hot story Dude. Jealous

When I was in high school the first gay experience had to weight till you become a adult. Teachers and therapists would tell us any time of day that the only physical contact between two males is shaking hands.

Zach, we think most gays have an exciting first and hard gay experience. We think the first date is just to get out of the closet and have the guts.

Great story. I fought my sexuality for years, but now I’m come to the point I’m Bi. 25% straight 75% gay.

Wow I wish my first experience was with you. I would be like the other guy though, I would be looking for a relationship with you for sure. I love this video.

“Idk what the fuck that is” 😂

I'm not sure how I found your video. I wish I had your experience. I was 25 before I was able to be where you were at in highschool. I loved hearing you talk. Being from Dallas, TX I wasn't exposed to the country rural sounding accent. It makes me glad to see that handsome rural guys can have the experience you described without having to move to a big city somewhere later in life to be who you really are.

I'm 15, from UK and Bradford looking for someone I guess

Gay Sage Advice: Don't wait until your old to "settle down", (your choises go way down by then) because looks do fade. Being young & beautiful is the *best* time to fall in love, follow your heart, even if it gets broken; then rise up again and again until you meet the one who completes you for they are out there. live life to the fullest but be exactly what you want to see in others. People who make fun of others and are arrogant *DO* get humbled down later in life especially when they think "Karma" doesn't apply to them..Never be afraid to get older, it's a privilege denied to many. Make good decisions now because it *WILL* catch up with you later in older years..your body is a temple, respect it and you'll live a long life. Avoid drama,gossip,fake people & think before you speak in everything. words can't be taken back once they are said. As long as innocence is in a relationship it will survive. but if it vanishes, things are never the same. Be blind to age,race,social status,wealth; you'll meet more interesting people that way. Expect disappointments in people but focus on the positive. Laugh and question everything. Lean on those who are helping make the world a better place. You will be dead one day. You Make your destiny by your choises. If you are wrong, admit it. Be the change you want to see in the world. Good luck! 🌈💖🎵🌸🌞🎻🌹💯

I enjoyed your story, I know someday God will bring the person guy into your life. Don't let anyone take your liberties away with their opinions. You can have God, Relationship and Happiness. Best Wishes

Ignore the ignorant! You love who you love! I am a heterosexual parent of five sons and I am only beginning to realize that being gay is not something you chose! Be proud of yourself but also realize that your body is sacred so take care of it and do not just let anyone use you! Take care!😻

Your story had a ring of truth. That is the secret. Always be true to yourself and with others. Good luck and have a happy life.

The amount of 50 year old creeps in this video is hilarious...Btw your storytelling is so good xD

y am i always distracted by ur room 😂😂😂😂 i keep looking at the usa art thingy

Very cute, to be young again. Had so many adventures around that age.

God!! Nothing's better than a gay guys who sounds straight and looks straight!😤🔥🔥

I love your voice!!!

That is really brave

I attended UA and had some very exciting times in T-Town. Lived there for almost 8 years and will always love my years in Tuscaloosa. My first gay experience as a student was my 2nd week of my Jr. Year I had transferred from Brewer State Jr. college up in Fayette, Al Anyhow, I was very much in the closet, had had many girlfriends in grade school , High School. I was sitting on the 3rd floor inside the sitting area just inside from the back staircase. I was reading/studying but checking out the "duudes" ( I LOVE the way you say duuhhde..LOL). I had had no experience or "gaydar" or had even heard of "cruising" at that time. But it didn't take me long to notice that each time I looked over the top of my Marketing 300 Book, the same dude across the lounge area was doing the same, checking ME out. He had medium length sandy blond hair, about 5'10", medium build, toned and was wearing jeans, tank top and thong flip flops. I got up and went into the restroom and hadn't been standing at a urinal but a second when he came in and stood next to me. We didn't "flash" each other (I was too shy and too much of a gentleman..LOL) but when he back up to put himself back together, I noticed in the mirror him taking his time fixing his white briefs and he had a beautiful package that literally made my mouth water, my heart race and I started hyperventilating. Being my first "cruising" experience and for it to have worked thus far, I was extremely excited and nervous. My mouth was like cotton which was a first for me. To be that young, innocent and inexperienced was so hot. He was still taking his time to make sure his underwear elastic was just so so before pulling up his jeans and zipping up. I had no doubt he was giving me a long peek. He quietly whispered, "do you want to go hang out somewhere sometime"? I replied, 'No, I want to go hang out NOW"...I whispered, "I am new to UA, to town and have never done this before and you are hot! I don't want to risk not seeing you again. I lived alone in an off campus apartment and he came over about an hour after we left Gorgas. To hear the rest you will have to private message me. I found out later he was a cheerleader for the Crimson Tide which explained why he was so toned and in such great shape. If you want to hear the rest of the story, you (meaning anyone that is reading this) can email me at jchristurner@aol.com. While this is one of your older videos it is one of my favorites. When that noise happened and you turned around, "I don't know what the fuck that wuuuz" with those big brown eyes, I always laugh while melting. I love your accent and feel like we are kindred spirits since we both attended UA and lived in Tuscaloosa.

I feel bad for the guy, he might have had genuine feelings for you :(

Dude, have you contacted Guinness? I swear you set a world record for the number of times saying 'dude' in a 7 minute video.

This is an unbelievably erotic story.

Wow sexy voice and a sexy man, But you were wrong for treating that guy like that Zach, always remember everyone had feeling. The both of you where young so you're excused for that, How did your next experience work out ???

I don't think it was just your ego going up & up. : p

With a dood.... just kidding I love your videos!

nothing more attractive then a man who isn't afraid to admit that he doesn't know everything. and your so adorable

Who are you . Where have you been ? I love this.💛

your handsome. :)

ok ur accent 12/10

Youre awesome...ad one more subscriber to your channel!

Man I like U a lot. Your southern accent is fantastic. U are so open minded that is refreshing. You are a really kool dude keep up your great connection with people.

love love your voice

You are amazing

Wow, a gay country boy

That was sweet, it's a shame when someone gets a bit hurt when the other person isn't quite ready but it happens.

Fun story bud, helped me remember my first "bf" in HS but times were different in the early 1980's

BTW Zach uhh dude? you were wrong for leading that kid on ,I hope someone breaks your heart oneday.
