Everything will be ok, so many people love you, come out when you're ready and if anyone doesn't support you, cut them out your life. Your family doesn't accept you? This comment section is your new family. Your friends don't accept you? They're not your real friends and I'll be your new friend 🥺 I love you so much and if you ever need anything, reply to this or dm me on instagram (the same as my user on this) Everything will be ok, I promise 🤍

I'd recommend testing the waters with the person/people you're coming out to before coming out. If you know they love you very much but are homophobic I'd see if they'd change their beliefs for me. If they wouldn't, remain in the closet until you are safe. I personally sent a gay meme to come out. You do you,hun

but seriously things will get better. i know it's hard to believe right now but it really will be okay eventually. even if your immediate family doesn't accept you, you'll still have friends that do, and people on the internet do, people walking down the street do, your teachers do, so many people do love and accept you for who you are, you just have to look closer for it. i know it can be hard because you're living in such a judgemental household, but you have to believe me when i say there is more bad than good. look for the good. you'll find it in so many people. starting with me. hi, i accept you. i love you, you are valid. it will be okay. i promise.

So I came out to my mom recently hoping she'd accept me. Finding out how wrong I was, that hurt like hell. I took my safety gor grsnted that day and now I'm deeper in the closet thean ever. Edit: It's been a year...wow. First of all, thank you for all the love and support you've all sent my way. As for my parents, I've kinda made peace with the fact that my mom will be in a state of eternal denial, my dad will never know lest I get kicked out of the house.

one year late but judging by your username, you're Asian, and quite possibly Chinese. as a fellow chinese who is lesbian, i'd like to say, you're not alone in this, please always be with people you're comfortable with and people who accept you and will be able to protect you and help you if anything drastic happens. i hope you'll be able to live freely and happily in the near future. i don't even know if I truly came out, because on my 13th birthday immediately after i blew out my candles my parents forced me to talk about the person i was "becoming" because they suspected i might be gay, and even then they thought that my being gay meant that i wanted to be a boy, my father said he would disown me and my mom thought that lgbtq+ people had gone thru some kind of trauma or had mental illnesses to "become" "unnatural", even though she had a cousin who was currently dating a woman (and doted on me a lot). they wanted to educate me on a matter they had no knowledge, no awareness of. they made me cry and feel unsafe on my birthday, and refused to let me consume my cake in peace unless i talked about it, and it was the fact that they forced me even in my tears to listen to them that i felt i did not deserve to live anymore that there was no point. It was one of the lowest periods of my life. then the year i turned fourteen i suddenly felt this tightness in my chest one afternoon, and i had to say it, had to ask my mother at least. i cried for half an hour before i could ask if she would hate me. i did not say blatantly that i was gay, but she couldn't look at me, didn't comfort me, just tried to deny it and play it off. it was so inconsequential that i felt there was no point after all, that if i fall in love i'd never tell them, i'd run away, never ask for anything. not love, not acceptance. i think that all we want is understanding and acceptance, but our parents don't care for our feelings and the impact of their words. just keep yourself safe and SANE and never let them direct the path you take in life. one day they'll realise they were wrong all this time. sending you all my love ❤❤❤

But when I tell my dad, that was the reason I dindt come out sooner he said BUT THEY ARE NOT MY KID, THAT DOES NOT APLY TO YOU That taught me too, that heteronormative agenda is something that everyone goes with cause its easy to do when it diesnt involve them

I'm 16 and I'm a closeted lesbian. I live in a very small close-minded town and words can't describe how alone I feel at times. It's horrible having to hide so much of myself from the people I'm closest to. Every time I'm around my friends (especially when we're talking about dating) I feel like I'm holding my breath but hyperventilating at the same time. Everyone else has had their first kiss but I haven't even held hands with anyone. I feel like I'm missing out on so many experiences that I would have had if I was straight. I'm not wishing I wasn't gay, in fact I'm fully comfortable and accepting of myself and identity, but life would be so so so much easier and enjoyable than it is now if I could just fit in.

I’m 14 and I’m non binary and pansexually. My mom,dad and stepdad are raging homophobic but I’m closer to my mom and coming out makes cry bc we never had the best relationship but she wants us to get closer but I know if I tell her she wouldn’t be supportive. My mom,dad and stepdad told me they don’t support it before I found out so it’s hard knowing my mom wants a closer relationship even tho she won’t accept me if I tell her but this makes me happy knowing a whole community accepts and love me for who I am

I'm in a goddamn schrodinger's closet - no one can tell if I'm gay or just a really good ally.

When coming out I was met with a "Yeah It's pretty obvious" ackk fml.

you’re probably around 13 right now, and that’s just a year younger than me. i’m so proud of you and honestly it blows my mind how mature you were, when i was 11 and i would sometimes think, “do i like her?” (i’m a girl) i would shove it away and think i was overthinking. you’re amazing and valid.

I'm extroverted and outgoing. I'm an artist. I'm going to be a freshman at the end of this summer. I love kpop and.... I'm queer. I have a girlfriend, but I'm one only foot out of the closet. I live smack dead in the middle of Texas. ( not literally but I'm Texan ) The middle school that I went to was pretty accepting or more accurately the students were. So I was pretty open about my sexuality, but now I'm going to high school and I'm scared that I have to go back into the closet. You see, I was born in/ am being raised by strict Muslim family. Which basically means my parents will never accept my sexuality no matter what and I know that I will be disowned the moment I come out to them. Tho, my entire family isn't homophobic. I've come out to my little sister and she was like "I could care less about your sexuality I still hate you the same." She's a hoot. Also, I have an older bisexual cousin (who's out to everyone but her parents) When I told her about my worries and how I wanna come out, she told me to hold my horses. Said I should stay very closeted and told me how she was almost outed in high school and that I had never experienced life-threatening or like seriously outrageous homophobia. She told me that some people are fake and they'll try to use my sexuality against me. I believe her and I know she wants to protect me but I don't want to leave my girlfriend or "act straight." What do y'all think I should do?

Hey. I’m a lesbian in high school and this sounds tough. I definitely don’t think you should come out to just everyone, especially not your family if you feel unsafe. Telling just anyone that you are gay can spread, and sadly you could get bullied, so I would say keep your relationship and your orientation on the hush. It’s going to hurt and you’re not going to like it. But safety really comes first. Good luck 😊

thank you for sharing this video! it is extremely motivational and inspiring. thank you once again to the creators and to the beautiful souls who spoke ❤️

My advice: as a loser nobody who to this day has no friends, is old and bitter, I suggest you weigh your options. Do you live in a conservative or liberal area? Are you white (yes white gays have it way easier prove me wrong)? Are your parents the kind of people who will accept or disown you? Do you have resources (lgbt centers) that actually care about your well being and not just say they do? If you find that it isnt safe to be out after contemplating these questions, you need to stay closeted until u can leave and live on your own.

i was very afraid to come out as gay when i was little, surroundes by religious environment where people are openly homophobic and transphobic including my own family, after graduating and getting out of my house, i just express myself as who i am from now i am

I’m so lucky to have everyone that I am close to accept me. There are still some people in the school that don’t accept me as gay. It hurts having people talk in such offensive language but I still have my friends and family to take care of me. You will always no matter what find someone who accepts you. Even if you don’t find them right away.

Laughs in closeted because my parents say im too Young to decide my sexuality

ssooooo, I'm pan and non-binary, and that's sucks in my household. I never had a good relationship with my mother or father, we never really bonded and formed that trust, but a while back I started building up trust with my mother and ended up coming out to her when I felt comfortable enough that she would be okay with it. the thing is I told her not to tell my father because I rarely talk to him and knew he would not be okay with it, (he wasn't). And she told him right after, which caused all that trust to go down the drain along with any help I had with my Depression. My father started getting mad at me and telling me that I was wrong, confused, and that I was a female and that would never change, and that he would not have a non-binary in the house. That ended up causing me to relapse into some harmful habits that I had just stopped before that. It has been a couple of months and I haven't said anything else about it and I don't plan on it. I honestly can't wait to move out and get away from him so I can finally be myself and love who I want. I'm surprised he hasn't kicked me out yet, but I kinda want him to because I know I have a friend that would let me stay at their place until everything was sorted out.

To everyone in this video; thank you for the advice

I believe we're all going to be okay stay strong my gay teen friends ❤️

I'm not lgbt but I'm here to support everyone

I’m here hugging my pillow smiling like an idiot

As a teen, I really need someone to talk to but I have no clues to whom should I talk to. Now, I am using weBelong app for connecting and venting with other LGBTQ

I think I’m either gay or bi and I’m not sure what to do

Hey

Thank you! I'm realy in a tough situation now. It's hard growing up in a culture that hates you specially in your own family. My mother is to religuos and have expressed how she can never accept lgbt sand my father also expressed how it's ligal for some countries to punish gays. Oh the irony right? Been thinking of running away for years now.

This is really helpful, i am lucky with my friends that i have 8 LGBTQ+ friends and in my friend group se all talk about it and there is 2 girl relationships in it as well. Some of them Know about me and have ben really sup portove and helpful. Unforntuantly home isnt like that i havent came out to them yet. My Family including is mostly christian but theyre not homophopic but my mum doesnt believe in bisexualty and always goes on about it not existing.

This looks like buzzfeed Great Video anyways

I’ve always never given a fuck, but coming out to my parents was hard. But in school I was just like “I’m gay wasssssssuuppp”

I’m still not sure what label I am as well and it’s being driving me crazy to the point that it gave me headaches but I’m learning that I don’t need to label it straight away and it’s no one else’s business but mine

This video helped me thx for making it I'm bi and I love the LGBTQ community

I want to come out but my dad is Homophobic and my mum will tell everyone I smile thinking about them being excepting. But realize they probably don’t

It feels so horrible to be raised and surrounded by a homophobic environment as a lgbtq+ person. Constant rejection of non-heterosexual sexual identities and them being called “mental illnesses” crushes you while you are in the closet. It’s scary to think about my future because I feel like I will always be stuck in this environment and never find a way to escape. When I hear stories supportive families and friends, one half of me is happy to see people who accept their loved one but the other half of me is jealous of them -why can’t my family and friends be like that?

That is f***ing awful! Stay strong 🏳️‍🌈 ❤️

In school I don’t ever think I will come out but to my family it’s different I know they won’t think of me different but I might think of myself differently

Video:starts Me:starts crying already

Everyone should be expected for who they are it does not matter if you specify as a dinosaur because i will love you for whoever you are

I didn't believe. But I promise it gets better. Trust me.🤗

I still don't know how I could've dealt with this situation any better but I need to get it out, about a year ago I came out to my mom as gay through a slip of words, she was surprised but she dealt with it well, but then she told me that I had to tell my dad within a week or else she would tell him herself because she does not like to keep secrets in our house, we both knew this wouldn't go over with him well since he wanted everything but this for me for a long time since he's a devout catholic, I still told him about 3 days later, this happened almost a year ago like I said and there have been nights where I have slept in my car out of fear, stayed over at friends houses for a few days at a time, I've cried and screamed and the only things he says to me now are small snide remarks that pierce through me like knives, all my friends just say "screw him" or "you shouldn't care, it's not your fault" and I get that, but previous to me telling this we had an okay relationship, when I was younger he would let me stay up and watch star wars with him and eat whip cream, he used to take me to the air and space museum where we would make a bunch of weirdo airplanes out of paper, it was dreamlike, he gradually grew away from me as I got older because of our difference with political perspectives, he's gotten a lot closer with my two brothers because of it, it's like they are his rebound, even though I keep up good grades, do my chores and participate in school activities like I should, it's all because of one little thing that he won't recognize me as his daughter. But I'm happy! When I see that my brothers are happy I'm happy, but it comes at a cost, I can barely if ever talk to them, they're great, kind boys but they've grown apart from me because they can tell that dad gets upset when they talk to me, they completely stopped talking to me about 2 months ago, the last thing the youngest said to me "Just leave" and the oldest "God loves you" they truly are my fathers dream and my nightmare. 1 and a half years and I'll be safe

I'm scared to come out to my parents they are highly anti-lgbtq+

If you feel too scared you dont have to do it right now. You can wait untill you are sure in yourself and if they really love you they will suport you. Try to explain to them but if you are ready.

dont listen to the haters

My mom outed me to my dad and it's not the same with him I'm scared that she'll out me to my entire familly

Reminder: its fine to be gay, lesbian, bi, pan, straight, trans, cis, ace, allo, poly, NB, objectum, demi, grey, ficto, or anything else except harmful or insincere. You are valid and great as you are. And if you ever change then thats valid and fine too.

my bff outed me to my other friends today. i wasn’t ready to come out to them bc i’m afraid they’ll tell my family.

that sucks. you should get a new bff

omg this is so helpful, thank you for giving me the confidence to come out

Omg I understand the multiple coming out thing, cus I told my parents and they were great and I thought that was it, but then I realized it’s just my parents... then what about the other people in my life? Do I have to go through that very anxious moment over and over again?

I more or less have a more relationship question theres a girl that i know i love and we are high schoolers now... But the reason we broke up is because her dad was homophopic and i wasnt the best girlfriend in middle school since i was new tp relationships. My friend says she has her number and tried to contact her but the thing is she the girl i love or some other girl with the same name or is she going to want to be together after almost 2 years of no contact because of her homophobic family.........

THANK Y'ALL!!!!!!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

That moment when you where outed before you really knew who you are and are ready...

Planning to come out as bisexual to my friend tomorrow. He will be the first person i tell and I’m really scared but I am suffocating in this tiny closet

Really hard for me at the moment, I’m a closeted lesbian going to a private Christian high school that’s basically a living hell since some of the teachers will have class discussions about homophobia and I just have to sit in the corner and pray they don’t call on me since I don’t know how to respond in a way they would find accepting, and it sucks hearing things like “I would disown my child if they were gay” and other offensive things in the hallways and just wanting to change who I am.

This video made me feel suddenly so much better about myself. 3:15 I am relating to that so much right now, I'm having trouble figuring out if I'm lesbian or bisexual..if anyone could maybe help with past experience or like give tips or anything, that would be great. It's mainly cause I haven't dated men nor woman, so I am not sure whether I like only men, only woman, or both. but yeah..anyways please and thank you. :^)

Would love to know their Instagrams

thank you for this advice i got bullied for most of my life but nit any more bc i came out and im only 11 years old

Giovani silav I think you should have waited until your older to come out. Sometimes it’s just a phase. Your too young to be making these important decisions

@@obyeshorts1087 but then again you can never invalidate how someone feels, or direct how they choose to determine and act on their feelings.

Hate how my mom outed me a couple years ago to my dad even though she’s in complete denial so is my dad but as long as I love myself I’m good. One day I’ll come out of the closet fully.

My mom is lesbian and I get mad when people say something about lesbian or gay or trans
