Well…I guess the math checks out. 🤔 All jokes aside. You sound like the best mother on earth. My parents are against the LGBT community. So I’ve hidden that I’m gay and a trans woman from them. The rest of my siblings know that I’m gay. They don’t know I’m trans because I’m still figuring stuff out. And can’t test anything because of parents.

So he did a program for me wich print "dad i am bisexual" and we send it to my dad. I was really nervous but my dad literally had the best reaction, he came to my room and asked me how the program worked, i asked "did you run it?" He said "yes" i asked "did you read the message?" He said "yes. How did you created a list with the message in it? I can't do it in my program" i said ".....you write L=[ ] and then L.append("m") for each letter of your messages...." He said "thanks" Months later he helped me with my costume for pride. He never asked anything about it; we don't talk about it. He just knows.

"You do not bring country music into this house." This reminds me of when I came out to my immediate family. My (now former) step-father and I used to watch NASCAR, and were Dale Earnhardt, Jr. fans his entire career. My step-father and I had always had our issues (especially since he lost his job, and I became the sole breadwinner), so I wasn't sure if he would be supportive of me coming out- which he turned out to be. Now, I came out around the same time that Earnhardt, Jr. retired from full-time racing, and that left my step-father and I looking for new drivers to root for. He became a Martin Truex, Jr. fan, while I became a Kyle Busch fan. Now, we had both hated Kyle Busch at one point, and I got more grief for being a Kyle Busch fan than for being trans.

When I came out to my mom, it was a lot like the last one. She said “You are my *child*. I’ve loved you from the moment I knew you existed.“ I was crying then just like I am now and she hugged me. I wish that was how it went for everybody who comes out to their parents.

At that point, they're nothing more than an unfortunate branch of the bloodline. "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" is something I honestly obsessively mention in comments like this because the version basically everyone has heard at least once is a manipulative paraphrasing that redacts "of the covenant" and "of the womb".

Also. I kinda read your comment wrong. But still. Why would they be supportive of your sexuality and not be supportive about your gender identity. That’s just being picky. Either you support your child fully and absolutely. Or you leave them alone and allow them to figure stuff out on their own. And I know that if or whenever I have a child I will always choose the former. Parents should always be supportive of most of the things that their children do. Unless it is a danger to the child pr anyone else.

I'm not part of the lgbt at all. But I am part of the autism spectrum disorder. And my mom once asked me if I was gay because I barely interact with men. I told her I'm not (which is true btw) and her response was: "I'm going to be happy either way for you!" and I instantly knew why she said that so I replied back with: "Because you'd be surprised I found someone that isn't a cat that wants to be with me and bear my chaotic existance." the look on her face was priceless. Because I was right.

This is so nice to watch. I came out to my mom about five years ago, and she just pretends it never happened, so I'm sucking up second hand acceptance.

😢 I did cry at the last one. It reminded me of coming out to my family, namely my sister. I told her I was trans and without missing a beat ahe said she loves and supports me and will be there on this journey with me. Now I'm crying thinking about it again.

All of these people coming out. It’s so nice watching people being true to themselves. 🥰

8:02 I had pretty much this exact experience; my parents didn't react well, but my little brother was (and has been) supportive from day one.

I never was accepted unfortunately. My mother and I aren't on speaking terms and she claims that trans people, gay people and people of the lgbt+ ruined her family and she's always told me she wished trans people were, ahem, un-alived.. and it really hurt that she couldn't support me. But I'm happy for other people when they are accepted because its just really wholesome and I just like seeing other people of the community happy and accepted.

2:02 Such lovely parents. Also, we’ve seen so many supportive mums but supportive dads are in low supply.

I'm trying to wait until I eventually get my own apartment and then come out bc at least then I feel like I'll be in a safer place.

So you have trained for this moment.

when I came out to my mom, it didn't go well, but watching all these parents being so supportive is so wholesome 😭

You can tell how heavy it weighed on the guy at the end. I was the same way. Admitting it to myself was the hardest part, but actually saying it to someone else, god I was a wreck. I am so glad that people are becoming more open about it now and hopefully there will be a day when no one feels the need to hold it in and then cry it out.

"We wouldn't be parents if we didn't want you to be happy" Louder 👏 for 👏 the 👏 people 👏 in 👏 the 👏 back 👏 You are not a real parent if you don't want your child to be happy.

I am a parent. I hope that none of my kids will need to ‘come out’ as such. I hope they have/are being parented authentically so that their gender identity (either trans/cis/nb) and sexuality (whether it is lgb, het, or a) are not issues to be feared or announced. I hope they are able to express any of their identity (unless it’s country music or a desire to be a corporate hedge fund financier, intentional criminal, or religious cult leader- I do have my limits) with joy knowing that their mum will accept them. I trust they will be happy for me to meet any romantic partners knowing I will welcome them as long as they are kind to my child.

Omg shrek reference 😂 lord fardquad Edit: when I came out on tiktok it was super awkward 😂

6:58 OMG THIS WAS THE CUTEST ONE OF THEM ALL! My favourite one was the bit about a bet lmao

It was the opposite for me, where having my step mother and my father hate me worked. I was trying to cut them out of my life for being really abusive, and when I moved away they suddenly acted like they cared about me. I told them to stop contacting me and I even blocked thier numbers, but they would still email me. So one year I decided to send my terribly anti lgbtq, racist father a lovely little f you card on fathers day. At the very end I came out as trans. Worked a treat and I haven't heard from them in years lmao

My dad said a plain: ok, thanks fpr sharing (I was 33 and he nearly died the day before) My mom cried and said: forgive for not being ready earlier to listen to this (I was 28) My brother said: I HAVE A BROTHEEER!!! 😍

I got outed to my homophobic brother on accident and was scared he’d tell the rest of my family- he said he wouldn’t. Months later (a couple weeks ago) I came out bc fucj that tiny closet and that brother said “I TOLD YOU SHE LIKED GIRLS!!” My brother has done a lot of shitty things to me but he really went over the line this time.

Drop kick him. >:3 ……I’m starting to realize that my method of dealing with people who are against the LGBT community is to drop kick them……oh well. :3 All jokes aside. That is really mean. Trying to out your sister just to get them in trouble. Hopefully he comes around……if he doesn’t. There’s always my option. >:3 And remember. We here. In the comments and the community. We will support you. No matter what. You’ve got an army backing you up. Never forget that. 🥰

When I came out to my brother as trans he reacted super sweet. The thing is, I dreamt that night that I also came out as pan and ace so when I woke up I wasn’t sure if I came out at all 😂

😭 it take so much courage. I remember in high-school I sorted out I was bi and I had this supper cool teacher who taught psychology amongst other things. I don't remember exactly how it started but we were talking after class and he asked if I was questioning my sexuality and I denied it reflexively. I felt so shitty for lieing and having to hide who I really was even though I knew he would be supper supportive that I went in at lunch and totally broke down and came out to him. He was the first adult I actually came out to and it was such a relief it still gets me all emotional.

I didn't cry cry, but I got real watery-eyed at the last one 😭

As someone with very unsupportive parents but accepting friends and other family members this video really hit hard. All I've wanted was for my parents to say that it doesn't change anything, but I'm glad that some people do have this amazing environment and that's the environment I want to create for my future children

My mom criesd like every time i cut my hair, my dad just went like "do i have to do something?, if not, then do whatever you want" Then my mom bought me new clothes and my dad gave me money to do the name changing and stuff... I have 2 younger brothers and they started telling their friends " i don't have a sister, we are just three brothers, i don't know what are you talking about "... I'm 30 and this were in 2019

Jamie, not only did I get your Shrek reference but I said the same thing at exactly the same time 😂

7:44 best way to come out tbh

Was full on blubbering by the second video😂. I remember that scared feeling before coming out and that guilt about keeping it from my parents and particularly my mum and omg the relief and overwhelming emotion that just washes over you if they’re excepting

Even though my mom and brother would accept me (dad not so much) I've never come out as bisexual. I didn't realize I was bi until I was around 20 and by then I thought it was too late to have a coming out announcement. I figured I'd just tell them if I happened to start dating a girl. Now I'm in my early 30s and the very next person I dated was a man and we are still together so the chances of us breaking up or otherwise not being together and me dating another woman is very slim, but it'd feel so awkward to just randomly announce it now. I wish ~20 year old me had just done it. But I'm overall a very private person and it just feels so personal to mention it. I think if my mom flat out asked me about my sexuality I'd answer honestly but actually coming out and saying it is hard. The only person who knows is my boyfriend and he is very supportive (although he was a little upset that we had been best friends for 5 years before I told him, and I only ended up telling him because he asked. it was a few months before we started dating).

I totally feel you. I also only realised I'm bisexual in my 20s but since I didn't have a girlfriend it felt weird to come out to my parents, so I didn't. But then at a Christmas dinner my stepsiblings said something that wasn't quite homophobic but definitely very heteronormative, so a few days later I just dropped it in a subordinate sentence completely on the side to that mother and now just sometimes point out when I think somebody is attractive. Not a proper coming out but it did the job 😂 🤔I can't remember whether I actually told my other mother. She's a lesbian trans woman and I've been slightly worried that, if I told her and then still ended up with a man, she would be disappointed 🙈 some of her friends definitely know and I might have mentioned some crushes so maybe she does, maybe she doesn't 😶🙈

@Olivia Wood. I figured out that I was gay when I was 17. I only recently found out I was a trans woman. Which is funny since I turned 20 this year. 🤔 I will never tell my parents because they grew up in the 50s. So they don’t like the LGBT community. The only people that know that I’m gay is my siblings. And the only one that might have a clue about me being a trans woman is my niece.

Seeing other people's coming out stories going well is so wonderful yet also somewhat bittersweet-ish as mine went down pretty badly, but seeing people being so wonderfully accepted makes me so happy for the future, where hopefully every coming out story is a good one

I can’t come out. My parents grew up in the 50s. So they are against the LGBT community. The closest I’ve ever been to coming out was when I was talking a trip with my mom to run some errands.

As someone who was told i was making my moms cancer worse when i came out to her, it makes me happy cry immediately when i see parents like the last one who seem to think its silly for them to be nervous. Thats how it should be for everyone. That mom is a hero. All these accepting parents are really honestly saving their kids lives by being supportive. Its so important. 🎀

I cried really hard at the end there hahaha. My parents are pretty homophobic and I'm so scared they'll find out I'm bi at some point. I'm gonna be honest, I wish my parents would react like that but I know they wouldn't. That kinda breaks my heart. But it does worm my heart to know that there are families out there that treat their children LIKE THEIR CHILDREN when they come out to them. That they love them no matter what, that they help them out how they can, that they support them and try to learn from them. I'm really happy to know that there are parents like that out there.

😢 I cried on the little sister one cause it hit very close to home for me

The country music one made me soooo much remember: when growing up (like 6 or 8 yo), my mum always told me "when you'll be older, and mate with a boy, or a girl, I'll always love you, I'll always love you no matter what people say. Unless. Unless you're becoming a PSG fan." And she was dead serious, I'm from the south of France, so OM is very important 😆 (for not french people, it's like Barça/Madrid type of antagonism, or Manchester/Liverpool I guess (?))

Having not really supportive parents (they think they are, they really arent), this makes me so happy. And I started tearing up at the last one!

This comment resonated with me because while my mom _is_ accepting and supportive, (when I first told her I was not cis she went a bit overboard and kept suggesting new names, all of which sucked) my dad is a cishet white Catholic man that grew up on a farm, and he is visibly uncomfortable with diversity, and for a long time, I was telling my mom I knew he was uncomfortable with my identity, but she kept giving him the benefit of the doubt, and I did too, for a while. He enjoys turning to Fox News when my mom and I are in the room, especially during the shows of the worst of them. One time when it was just me, I noticed something he did that made me realize a pattern. He flips through channels, and if he sees Tucker Carlson's face and the word "transgender" on the screen, he flips back to FNC and leaves it on.

When I came out to my parents as bi, they were like "but you've only ever liked guys though?" and it's like "yeah... because I have a preference for men and I hadn't yet realised I also like girls." They also commented that I was acting like I wanted a medal or something and it's nice they didn't see it as such a huge thing, but also... coming out is kind of a big thing. They have made it clear that they accept me since, though. I think they were just a little confused because I didn't fit their expectations of what it might be like to have a bisexual child, what with me only ever expressing liking boys growing up and only realising I like other genders too at the age of 19.

Long comment sorry. My gender-fluid teen came out to me when they were in the 3rd grade. The convo literally went = Them "Mom I think I like girls." Me "Cool, and?" A little bit later...them "Mom I think I like both boys and girls." Me "Okay, and?" The following week.. them "I am not sure but I think I was meant to be a boy, not a girl." Me "Okay, what do you want to be called? They kept changing trying to figure themselves out and I gave them the freedom to do so. Now they are gender fluid (even balance of fem and masculine presenting) pansexual and their twin brother came out as bi. I have to say tho that the day I felt like I was doing the right thing by letting them explore was also my proudest moment as a mom. I overheard a snip it of a conversation they were having with their friends when they were asked if I was "OK" that they were dating a girl. They turned to look at me showing me the camera so their friend group could see me and asked "Mom is it ok if I am gender-fluid, pansexual, and have a girlfriend?" I told her the same thing I said each time she asks "I don't care what you are or who you love as long as you are happy and who you are with treats you right." One of the friends asked how all of their parents could be ok with it. I could not help but laugh and respond before they did "I am pansexual, their dad is polyamorous pansexual, married to a nonbinary person, and their stepmom is bi. Why would we be upset?"

My daughter never came out. She just brought her girlfriend, now her wife, home. Just like her brother brought his girlfriend home. And her sister brought her boyfriend, now husband, home. Because in our house love really is love and as long as you love my child and treat them well, I'm going to love and respect you back. If my daughter had felt the need to come out, I would have felt like a failure

I cried to the last one. Like actual tears. Coming out was never an issue to me (I'm bi and I have mentioned me also liking girls to my parents, but they are so accepting that it doesn't even feel "coming-out worthy") but just. That kid's worry, and the mom's amazing reaction about being so reassuring and saying it doesn't change anything.. I love them so much, this is an amazing video

Jamie: Is this a gen "zed" thing? Me forgetting that non American people dont say "zee"

Hiii! So excited for this video❤

I had my coming out stolen from me because of my parents checking my Twitter. My dad reacted poorly and believed I was corrupted by the internet into being bisexual. My mom reacted fine but has since said some things that have made me uncomfortable about ever discussing anything involving being lgbtqia+. I've always been sad I had a happy coming out stolen from my in multiple ways

I have been trying to come out to my parents as trans for over 2 years, but speaking was way too hard even though I knew they would be okay with it. I saw the coming out cake reveal and decided to try it. Not only did it go well it really helped relieved most of the anxiety around the experience. Thanks for posting!

I always love seeing happy coming out stories. Because my own with my family was definetly not positive. So i get so happy for those people who get support

i agree coming out with cakes is the best way. about a year and a half ago i put a cake in front of my dad and brother that said 'im a guy; deal with it' and that was defo one of my best decisions (other then the 30 seconds when my dad thought my sister was the one who made it lol)

I came out to my parents a few months ago, slowly made my way through close family and friends, and then finally announced it on Facebook yesterday. I've been in the closet for 12 years. At some point, I didn't think I'd ever come out, and definitely not make it this far. And I am so relieved and lucky to have had so much love and support around me! I feel like a giant weight has been lifted from my heart. It's like I've been holding my breath my entire life, and am finally able to take a deep breath of fresh air.

I got the Shrek reference, but didn't know you were actually making a Shrek reference until you said it, and I thought it was just me, but then you clarified so it was extra great! 😄

I cried at the last one, I was holding the tears like a champ up to that point but the "what're you getting upset for?" from the mom was the last straw it's been 14 years now since I've known I'm bisexual, I still haven't come out to my parents because I know my mom wouldn't take it well, she's hated ever subtle hints I've let out to test the waters. She said to my face that she wouldn't mind if my brother was gay or bi or whatever, but she draws the line at me being lesbian or bi or whatever because she thinks when it comes from a girl it's a perversion.. turns out my brother is straight and I'm not, and only my brother and my friends know that about me what's worse is that she has gay friends, and she works in a medical lab so she also spends a lot of time with trans people who come in to have their hormone levels checked etc, and she is so proud to talk about her patients and how grateful she is for being allowed to witness their transition and glow up, she says it breaks her heart when she spends time talking with them and they tell her they lost touch with their family because they have unaccepting families, and yet she isn't half as accepting or supportive when it comes to her own daughter. Sometimes I wonder if she's telling me this kind of things about her job because she senses I'm not straight and is trying to show me she changed her mind and would accept it now, but it's extremely contradicting to what she's said before and to her reaction when I say that an actress is so beautiful or whatever

Not me, a closeted aro/ace on the verge of tears watching this video knowing that if I ever come out to my family I will likely be told that I’m too young to know or that I just haven’t found the right person yet.

I can relate to the Lightning McQueen one. While my younger brother and youngest sister don't quite understand what's going on and why they don't call me my deadname anymore, they and my Mama have been so much more supportive than my father and stepmother.

PLEASE do more of these videos! I'm slowly building up the courage to come out to my mum and this video was so comforting to watch!! If you make more I promise I will make a coming out tik Tok that doesn't have copyrighted music so you can use it in a video hahaha

i never really come out (ive had to three times because i thought i was bi then realised. no im a trans lesbian) but every time ive just sorta got on with being that and then answered any clarifing questions they have. like for coming out as a lesbian i literally just bought a lesbian flag and hung it up over my bed and for being trans i just started taking down anything with my deadname on and buying girl clothes and doing makeup until they asked what was going on and i just told them. i think im really fortunate with having supportive parents though because the just fully accepted and moved on every time i "came out" which is really the reason i didnt properly tell them because i didnt want a big deal made out of it. im really happy though because i think my mum esspecally is over the moon about me being a girl and we do loads of mother daughter activities and she randomly gets me makeup gifts that she thinks ill like. i think its because i have two brothers and she always wanted a daughter. anyway ive been typing for too long now and i want to watch the video, but im just really happy with how openly accepting my parents have been
