I broke down as soon as he mentioned the people in there that could have still been in the closet, and pretty much just sobbed through the rest of the video. This world is so unfair and messed up. And the cruel irony of a gay bar being shot up with people's significant others, friends, and siblings; and then not being able to donate blood because they are gay, is almost too much to handle. It's incredible how things like this happen almost every week (in smaller amounts,) and yet our officials just stand by and do nothing but offer their "love" to the people who survive it. All of the shootings and violence before should have been warning enough that something like this would happen. Hopefully the deaths in Orlando weren't for nothing, and people actually wake up and take action, before it gets worse.

@tausherproductions7164
@tausherproductions7164 8 лет назад
I'm all for people having guns to protect themselves, but; letting some people have access to guns is not a smart idea. People diagnosed with severe depression or anxiety (I mean REALLY severe), people who have attempted suicide or seriously thought about it in the past year (suicides take more lives than shootings), people with extreme mental disabilities, and people who have been fucking investigated by the FBI TWICE for links to suicide bombers, for a start XD I don't want to take away anyone's rights because of something they can't control, but we can't just stand back and watch them hurt themselves or others. I have major depression and have had a lot of suicidal thoughts, and I've locked my gun in a safe in another safe in my basement because I don't trust myself with it. Of course these people need to protect themselves too, and we should find ways for that to happen without putting lives at risk.

My dad didn't even care when I told him. At first when I said "There was a shooting in Orlando" he wanted to know about it and seemed concerned, but then when I said "At a gay night club" he just shrugged it off, which hurt me because I know he's homophobic, but I didn't know he didn't care about their lives because of their sexuality (And I'm closeted to him, so it really hurt).

I'm a straight person, with multiple gay and lesbian and trans friends. It HURTS to see how they feel, the world we live in is a messed up and dark place. I will do the best I can to support lgbtq+ people. I'm thinking about joining gag straight alliance next year and help spread the word that the lgbtq+ community is stronger than ever and will stay who they are no matter what happens.

I'm asexual and I'm closeted I brought up the Orlando thing with my christian grandma, and she said she didn't want to talk about it. She doesn't think it's okay, right? That's what I thought she meant. But no, when I asked her why, she said it was because being homosexual, or anything else, and in her words, "being on that scale where you aren't realllyyyy heterosexual," is not a choice, because "who would choose to be discriminated against," hated by society, constantly physically or emotionally attacked all the time, and being disowned? Who in the world would want that? And that's the story of why I am not afraid to come out anymore. You would never guess that extremely christian southern "Bible Belt" grandmothers would have this attitude, huh.

It's not that. When guns are banned terrorists can still get them off the black market or whatever then shoot people where guns are illigal because the people are vulnerable.
@justarandompersonpassingth2989
Eliza Toh I'm not from America, I'm not really bothered about the gun laws as it doesn't have much to do with me. You make a good point, all I was saying is that the terrorists won't go away from banning guns. They don't abide by the law.

"parents shouldn't have to call their kids to see if they are alive" That destroyed me. I started weeping! I am not gay, I'm cis-straight, I don't know anyone in Florida but I do have a very very close group of friends that are in the lgbtq community and I just had to call them, I had to, just to see if they were ok, even though I knew they were. I have straight friends who were calling me, asking to see if I was ok (because I spend a lot of time with my lgtbq friends and I've been a guest at gay night clubs regularly) and asking to see if my gay friends were ok, and we all live on the West Coast, but we still called, we still checked in. Thank you Tyler for your words.

If you're in the LGBTQ+ community,I love you so much please stay safe and Tyler,I love you so much please stay safe also

Also, to all who may read this, if you donate blood now, go back to the center a few months from now and give again, blood only lasts 40 or so days. If you can, give blood 2 or 3 times a year. If you couldn't give blood this week, wait a week, maybe a month, and give then. A massive influx of blood is great, but a steady stream afterwards is equally useful, as I said, after a bit more than a month it's useless. Remember, just give blood when you can, every now and then.

Don't be scared! One day you'll be able to be yourself and your family will have to accept the truth, whether they like it or not. I suggest waiting until you're old enough to support yourself, so that even if your family doesn't accept the real you, they can't do a damn thing about it. Your coming out day will come eventually, but I think its best to wait, now that you know their opinions on such things like the shooting. Stay strong

As a child of a borderline homophobic parent, I was always taught to ignore the LGBTQ+ community. Now, I love the gay community and I want to do anything I can to help. I've learned from Tyler and gay friends that they are people too. They are no different from straight guys and girls. This whole situation is horrifying, and I honestly still can't believe it happened. The only thing I, as a broke-ass teenager, can do right now is pray and support my local gay community. But I swear on my subscription to Tyler Oakley, I will do the most I can when I have the resources. Love to you all, stay strong. ❤️💛💚💙💜

The night before the shooting my Grandma texted me this "Next summer we can to the pride parade in June! Can't wait to go with you!" The next morning I saw this news and it destroyed me. These people lost theirs lives because one person thought it was wrong so they killed them. It's truly disgusting. That morning I went into my moms room and cried. I cried all day. It's absolutely horrible.

I'm going to the London PRIDE parade on the 25th, and over a million are expected to turn up. If anything, it's scary to think what would happen if someone did attack, but in the same respect the Orlando events will only bring the LGBTQ+ more together for the event

My senator interrupted the moment of silence for the victims in Orlando to grandstand about gun control. That is also unacceptable. People need to leave their agendas at the goddamn door at let people grieve, then after that we can go and talk about gun control or whatever the hell else.
@forestparkinsonmearns4928
@forestparkinsonmearns4928 8 лет назад
Honestly, the lack of respect there is repulsive. We didn't even get a moment of silence at our school. We had an assembly Monday morning (as usual) were we talked about innovation, and then the head interrupted with 'an important message' Then went 'we are upping the restrictions of uniform' and then we listened to classical music. I know that I'm in London so I should expect a moment of silence, but at the very least SOMEONE to mention it would be nice.

It is so incredibly torturous and sad to see such an amazing person (Tyler Oakley) cry!! I was not directly affected by this horror, even though my aunt is transgender, but I still felt so disgusted by this senseless act, and scared for those who lost their lives, and for those who lost people they loved. These people were loved and cherished and were worth everything and yet were killed senselessly. It's truly disgusting and horrible and it's sad to see. It really is. This is terrible and I'm grieving. If you're grieving, you have a big heart and you're wonderful. You don't have to gay and you don't have to be directly affected by this to be mourning.

It scares me so much, I would already be scared to come out but the fact that my family wouldn't support me scares me so much. My dad said "those people got shot for the choice they made, they shouldn't have made it then they would be fine" I wanted to die. I'm so scared :(

It's as simple as that. But then I met a group of trans-gays and lesbians and bisexuals and straights that support me and help me, along with my family of course, and I love all of the other amazing people that will love and care for you no matter your sexuality, gender, race or romanticness(romantics?).

I agree with what Tyler said at the end.

it's hard being straight and feeling like there's nothing you can do to help. I am a huge supporter of LGBTQ+, but I don't feel like there's any I can help as I am not really a part of the community.

Maybe because he shows that lgbt is weak? Maybe because he wants to ban guns that Americans won't be able to protect their selves? Maybe because he wants Clinton for the president even though she was against lgbt before? Thats why.

Tyler, I cannot tell you how much this video meant to me after such a devastating tragedy. Your compassion and willingness to help is just so inspiring and the LGBTQ+ community is so blessed to have you as a role model. So if you're reading this, thank you so much for this video, and everything that you do. You truly are making a difference every single day.

Tyler. You are such an inspiration to me, and videos like yours change the way people think. Your videos helped me realize who I am, and meeting you at LA Pride was dream come true. I was crying my eyes out during this video, and I can only imagine how hard it was for you to make. Thank you for making it though because videos like this raise awareness of the massacre and bring support to the victims. I have already donated what I can, and you should know that many of the people that I shared this video with donated to the victims shortly after seeing it. You really bring out the best in people.

They're wrong but they think this way only cause they were raised in such environment. I'm sure they are good people and do love you regardless. Don't tell them not until you're ready and feel safe. I'm sure hiding who you are from the people you love sucks, but eventually everything is gonna be alright.

I'm watching this now as an "on the fence" lgbt member (meaning I don't know if I'm bi or straight) and it really hits me. I am only 12 and I am already afraid of the world. Now that this happened to the community and the supporters, it was too real. Too terrifying to be real. But it was real and we all have to face it as one. I didn't know what to do but cry. Tyler, I always supported the lgbt community and I was devastated even as a supporter. I see how much a family the community is online and in real life. I am sorry for the families and everyone involved. Our world is cruel. But we must all face it together. That is all. NOW WHERE ARE THE TISSUES.

Honestly, this all just makes me sad, angry, and horrified. I'm only 14, and I think our country is in deep trouble. Every candidate running for president pretty much sucks, everyone's arguing over the second amendment, and don't even get me started on the whole LGBTQ+ thing. I used to think I was straight, but I think I might be bisexual. My family is Christian, and I'm worried. My mom said that these types of people aren't going to heaven. Would I burn in hell because I'm Christian but also possibly bi and support gays? That's partially why I'm afraid of admitting. What would my parents think? They don't agree with the LGBTQ+ lifestyle. Also, why are these people so horribly ridiculed and basically labeled as outcasts? We're still human. We can still feel love and love others. That's part of what makes us human. I wish we could love and be free without all this fear and trouble. It's just sad and aggravating.
