Because when your in the army, death is a constant threat. Everyone around you holds it too, and so commonly the buddy right next to you who you were pissing off that morning might be dead the next That’s what war is, and when you’ve experienced that, nearly anything bad doesn’t seem so bad. He went up there terrified that his kid was possibly pregnant, maybe doing drugs. In perspective, being gay was one of the most positive things for him to hear of the list of the possibilities that would make sense in that conversation
I think he was being practical about it, and he also lowkey thought it was a phase. Not great, but better than mum who straight up says it's disgusting.
yeah i really like that the writers did that with pam’s character because i feel like it was a more realistic approach for the time period the show takes place in
Same . i hate that my mom made plans of what she wanted for me in my future and is upseting that she's like you can't be a lesbian your 17 and don't even know what you want .
I have no problems with people being gay But when you find out that your friend is by them asking you out, shit gets awkward It’s a painful memory when you had to turn down your friend. Thing is that my sibling even warned me not to lead them on, and I thought they were talking about another person with the same name whom I hadn’t seen in a long time. Funny right?
I love her dad! He loves his baby no matter what. He realizes that she was born like that. Her mother I was disappointed with at first but happy she came around
I can relate - my mom and grandma are still in denial about me too, determined to call my homosexuality a "phase".... No LGBT child should *ever* have to experience this - our parents should want us to be happy and faithful to our true selves, and therefore, should have a moral obligation to support and love us unconditionally!
Gustav Ramirez well, best thing you can do is just ignore it i guess. when i turn 18 im def moving out because i cant be myself around these people. and i just hang out with friends most of the time so yeah... tv shows help me alot actualy like the 100. but i have to deal with my parents shit bc im only 16 now... like is it really so hard to understand that your child is lesbian gosh i hate my parents
Depends on the person. I think people are more opposed because it goes against nature. It is, whether you agree or not, unnatural because you can't procreate and we are made/built to be with the opposite sex. Not to say I'm a homophobe but just being realistic..
+ Tineka Palmore No. Someone is born this way, it isn’t unnatural. I mean, it’s not like we are low on population. Maybe gays exist to prevent overpopulation xD jk
@@9shiptooffi considering homosexuality has been observed in my different species apart from humans, it really isn't unnatural. heaps of animals have homosexual tendencies. kinda like mother natures own form of population control.
I understand that it's a big thing for some people to want to come out to there parents. But it shouldn't be. Having to tell your parents your gay and being scared about it is not right. You wouldn't go to you parents and tell them your straight. It's should be a normal thing that people can accept and get along with
This is such a genuinely well acted coming out scene. I think this was some of Shay's best acting on the show. I'm glad she could emote such emotions when she came out, the way she quietly says "I'm gay" too is great. I love this scene (until her parents, well mom, freaks out). Also, I hated the mom at this point, but it is impt to show that not everyone's parents are going to just accept this right away.
Magicgoat55 AJ your parents will love no matter what even if your gay and your parents are against they still love you and they do want you to be happy even thought they don't like it BTW I feel exactly your too
I'm bisexual. Meaning I like men and women. Nobody knows yet, considering I'm only 11. It's seems right now that's it's easy but my whole family is against gays. I don't think it'll be easy but I know I should tell them soon, Emily gave me the courage thx so much shay!! ❤️❤️
+SummerBabyGirlXXO Don't worry about it. I'm 14 and demi/pansexual and not out to anybody irl. I know the people who surround me will be okay with it all, I'll only have to explain what it is, but please don't come out if there is a danger that you could be harmed because of it. If you're only 11, its more important that you have a roof over your head and trusting parents than them knowing that you're bi. Don't feel pressured into 'Coming Out' because it's the respected thing to do; your safety must come first. If you want to, at this age you would want to have immediate family behind you but if you feel you'll have that support then go for it! If not maybe tell some close friends but maybe hide it from your parents. Good luck in whatever you choose. xx
I'm gay to. I went to a movie with my dad about a gay person and he said it was stupid and wrong and I just couldn't help but cry. I didn't tell him and probably never will. I hate that they think someone made her do this you don't choose your sexual orientation you are born with it. If you have anything to say anything rude look at it from their perspective. I feel so bad she had to see them say it's wrong because it's not and parents are supposed to accept and love their kids no matter what, I guess some people will never step out of thief little bubble.
My coming out : “Nan, mum, I’m bi” Mum- what day it louder I can’t hear you Me- I’m bi Nan- can’t hear you Me- I’m biiii Nan and mum- yesssss we’re your number one supporters
I adore this scene, my boyfriend has different views on homosexuality, but I am all for it and if I ever had a child who was gay, then I just happen to have a child who's gay.
I know how you feel. My boyfriend have another point of view even though I came out as bisexual when he asked me about my boundaries with LGBT community.
My mom side of the family accepts me for being gay but my dad, his sister (my auntie) and grandparents still to this day dont accept me and it kinda hurts still that my own dad wont even consider meeting my girlfriend. Emily is lucky
I really didnt come out to my parents, i fell out the closet just like emily but thank you, my grandmother came around alil bit, she always thinks that one of my friends was my girlfriend and i had to tell her it was just a friend but she still doesnt like it that im gay but u can try asking for help if u want to come out like a lgbt support group or community center or asking a friend like me or someone close to u
@@Moneyteen141 I’m gay too my mom and my brother accepts me and I’m so scared to come to my grandma because she’s not going to accept the fact that I’m gay my aunties probably accept me for being gay but I don’t know about my grandma
@@mekaysiawilliams9410 Grandma’s are the hardest to come out too, my school outed me to her and she started asking questions lol but now she asks how my girlfriend doing and everything but at the same time talks about her but i can say that it does gets easier and if u ever need advice just hit me up
I'm not gay so I don't understand this stuff but what I do know is that if you're gay you can't change just like that. You may like the opposite sex some time down the road. idk. It's not bad to think you're gay and then like 5 years later you think you're straight. Maybe I'm wrong. idk. All I know is that in this show Emily is gay. She has been literally the entire tv series. You never saw her kissing a guy. It was always with girls. She's gay and it wasn't a phase. It was her life and nobody should judge her for it. Whoever does can suck it.
I've been out for a little while now, and I can relate to how Emily was feeling when realizing she was gay, just as much of my fellow LGBT+ members feel at that moment of realization. Yes, I've been disowned by a lot of people I once called loved ones but I'm lucky to say my parents still stick by me in everything I do and I would do anything to have it this way for everyone. It gets better!
Watching this now gives me mixed emotions? I first saw this when I was 11 and worrying about coming out. I was hoping & praying that my parents would just be accepting, and not act like Emily's parents did. I'm now 14, 15 soon & my mum figured out that I'm gay on her own and thankfully she's accepting. She told my dad even though I wasn't ready, and he initially wanted to kick me out. Luckily, I'm 14 so he couldn't and my mum talked to him and he agreed not to. He still isn't accepting and hasn't looked me in the eyes without a pure look of disgust for months now but hey, it's getting better. I'm so scared about my whole family finding out, because i feel that they'll reject me too and tell me my feelings are wrong and that hurts :( I'm glad i'm out because it feels like such a burden is gone, but i'm sad about how it was all handled
Emily's dad was the most underused parent. I even got something out of Emily's mom. I think at the time her journey hit hard, because I was a scared kid hearing so many things about if being gay was good from all parts of the political spectrum, super liberal, liberal, middle, conservative super conservative, hateful, fearful, confused, distressed, people who believed in partying hard the way they wanted and then slamming others. I was a straight kid dealing with this, so it actually must be worse for so many gay and similar people. I think my biggest fear with Emily's mom's storyline is that I wonder if at times I'm only innocent because I was a kid and I wonder who I might have been had I been born earlier. Also, on to Emily's dad. He was a relief to me. It didn't feel real to see someone care as much as he did at that time. It was like he was the myth you heard about and then you were seeing him in person and that was legendary. I think Emily's dad has such a detective streak in him it would have been interesting to see him be a friend to the girls, their protector, and he would have fought to keep them safe and also call out so many problems in thema nd others. You know he would have never let Ezra off the hook. I really liked seeing Ezra and Aria together, especially as a teenage girl. It was what I wanted in a way, but I am an adult now and I think there was a way to have the Ezra actor be around and be with Aria and then also have safe storylines. This was for kids, we need outlets for sexual fantasies as long as adults portray them, but this was for kids.
omg i just realized emily looks like this girl i used to have a crush on! O.O haha my cruish is hotter though ;) even though shay mitchell could probably turn a straight girl gay.
Just realized how lucky I am. Told my mother I was gay and all I got was support. I'm sorry for all of you who had bad coming out experiences. My only advice, ignore them if they truly love you then they will come around. If not then get out of there as soon as you can cause your not completely safe.
The dad didn't even react badly. The mom however was so obsessed with her daughter being perfect, so she forgot who Emily is. It happens to many parents sadly.
Wow, at first pam was so homophobic and hated that emily is gay. But now look, shes handing over a ring to alison for her to propose to Emily🥰i just love pll x
I still haven't come out to my parents yet but I think my mum would be okay about it, my dad would probably be upset but I don't think any of them would disown me or anything, I feel bad for people who have parents who can't accept them for who they are. :/
I came out to my parents last year, and they are in denial I guess. My mom always asks if there are any guys I like and she talks about me taking a guy to homecoming and prom and stuff. Boy will she be surprised when I take a girl to those things.
when a girl comes out, it usually seems like the dad's more accepting than the mom, for whatever weird reason o.o I know mine was, though neither of them were as bad as emily's parents lol
Oh my god me too i can't tell my whole family bot my relationship..I think probably same Emily mother reaction ..I'm afraid of that but I'm happy to who i am now..=/
Does anyone ever think that some day, parents reacting real badly will be rare, and for the most part parents will accept that sometimes people are who they are and that's a fact of life? I mean, i know most parents will always be intially shocked as everything they expected for their kid is not gonna happen, but the mom in this clip is taking it *bad*. Ever think that will for the most part change some day? You ever think society will *progress*?
@BJoanna77 I have several friends who are gay and bi who are guys. (there are alot more bisexual guys than you think... it's weird I didnt know they were so common.) girls are out more than guys because lesbians/bisexual women are more excepted than guys. Also most of the time when a guy tells his dad hes gay he freaks out (what ive heard) but not the mom lol. if he/she is bisexual the parents seem much more ok.
