+Logan Funniest part of the video.
Just came across your Channel and videos and I thank you and your family. As a 67 Year old Gay Man I was one of the lucky ones who's family was always supportive even way back in the early 1970's. Even though they didn't totally understand at first I never doubted their unconditional love and support. I wish more LGBT kids could have the experiences your and my family went through. Thank you again for posting your journey. I believe it will help many other families.
Amazing family and very handsome too , living in London but coming from country much less tolerant is so difficult, last month I had my 32 birthday and still haven't been able to come out yet , I am exhausted mentally and I know the day is not to far away when at least I will open with someone from my family or close friend back home , I miss being myself 100% and not living in fear , but in last few days I have feeling I won't be in closed for to long, I am sure coming out will also help me to accomplish professional and personal goals as well , living a lie and suffering form depression doesn't help at all , this video just make me realise that we have only one life and if we don't live it authenticity we never gonna be happy . It will get better for everyone out there ,thanks for sharing this video xxx
Justin, I don't know if you will read this since it has been three years but I cam across this and I am so glad that I did. My partner and I have a problem with his mother. She is very old school and when my partner told his mom she went ballistic and called him every name in the book and them some. His father is at the very last stag of Parkinson disease and we are not sure how much longer he will be with us. My partner wants to try to make a relationship with his mom as we both want her to be at the wedding and not siting at home. We both can't imagine this as it hurts the both of us. Anyway your videos are fantastic and especially your wonderful parents. I am going to show him these videos in hopes that we can show his mom and she will watch them and it would certainly answer most of the questions that would come up. To have your mom and dad is a major plus that I think should help her. I trust want to truly thank for these three videos. I with you and your family only the best and you are so fortunate to have such wonderful parents. Thank you so much for the help that you have not known what you have done. Hugs to you and especially hugs to you wonderful mom and dad. God Bless.

John Please let us all know how this turns out for you....we care!!! Best of luck to you all John!! 💕💙💚❤️
What an example your family is setting. How powerful is unconditional love!
I hope you know how fortunate you are. The parents are truly special.
Gosh I love Canada wish I were Canadian 🙁
The loving and open communication your family has is inspiring but the one who touched me the most was your Dad. His attitude is rare and should be something for all Dads to aim for. Stop and think. These are your children and deserve to be loved.
I loved the honesty that radiates from each and every one of you . Made me feel extremely fuzzy and overly emotional for all of you, coz I felt like I wanted to hug and kiss you all ... This is what relationships , evolution and understanding should be and respecting everyone's uniqueness which is at the centre of it all . I am so happy to see similar parents to mine, who have accepted their kids to be who they are and like good parents have helped them evolve , in-turn evolving themselves. BIG HUGS N KISSES ... ESPECIALLY TO YOUR MUM AND DAD ...MWAH !!!
I used to know a gay man who had 7 brothers and two sisters. Six of his brothers were gay and one of his sisters was lesbian. That's wild!

Lovely and so wonderful that you are young enough to share these experiences with each other as they are happening. I am 61 and still have not had the opportunity to share so openly with my family.
I was expecting a big "yall stay fabulous now " from all of ye at the end hahaha
Loved this. Hello from a fellow Friesen!
This 4 video series is such an important one and I think it's so great that it's on here!
I am an only child,and I have sooo many lgbt cousins:) My big family is pretty understanding and we feel we are all truly blessed. So Justin and family, I would like to share who one of my gay cousins is--right in your hometown in the big TO! My cousin is Michael Leshner and his partner Michael Stark were the first gay couple to be married in CANADA when the law went into effect in 2004! Check out the Wikipedia article, The Michaels... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Michaels It took us 12 long years here in the States to accomplish that. Back to the topic of lgbt kids, acceptance, understanding, etc, this video is not just for families with multiple glbt siblings, children, etc One will do just fine:) It is for str8 people, it is for everyone! Thank you for a job well done!
Enjoyed the V-Log very much. Nice Family. Great parents. Your parents could teach a lot to other parents who are struggling with accepting their gay children.
such a role model of a loving supportive family, you all look so happy and that's wonderful
Came across this channel by coincidence. Happy for you and siblings for being gay and your parents for being unbelievably accepting. That is what parents should be. Great work and keep up the great mix of information and humour. Subscribed and watch the whole #gayforjustin. From Malaysia.
This was soo sweet and I believe it will help many people, especially parents. You have such a lovely family and mom and dad. You are so lucky!
This video should be put out there more
That is what a family shall be.
Your family, each of you, is truly blessed
Amazing story
Thank you :) You guys really are fabulous!
What a beautiful and unique family! Accepting one another who they are. Thanks for putting out your videos.
Good for y’all. Awesome parents ❤️
This is so beautiful Justin!!!!! It's so inspiring and heart warming that you family is so supportive and so on board! Your dad is ADORABLE
This video made me think that if it helps improve the life of just one young person, that it performed a miracle.
This makes me feels good. I'm not out yet, but i will be one day i hope and this really makes me happy!
I love this family. They make me feel happy🤗🤗
One of the most powerful videos!!!
This is fantastic...thanks so so much
I just see a normal family. All families have straight gay bisexual and trans people in them...And the generations continue !! We have to love our world and our humanity to get to the future
Such an inspirational share. Love wins. Proud to be gay
Thanks for this video!
Keep on the good work.... Excellent videos.
Thank you all for sharing your experiences through this series of videos. Happy pride 🌈❤️
I love how he said' I am gay obviously...' ♡
You guys are wonderful!

Great video Justin :)
What a wonderful family! Wish everyone had this. I am one of the lucky ones in that I do. Not everyone does...but, you're right, I does get better. :-)
What an amazing family! I love hearing their stories. I hope they continue to put more stories out. I am a gay man but it never even crossed my mind they all siblings could actually be born gay...wild. Just never thought about it...lol.
love this vid !
Amazing Family what a blessing would be so great to know them, I was rejected by my family over sexuality, especially my Mum, the pain it caused split me from my family one by one the first was a sister some 24 years ago. my last Sister and Neice was six years ago, it has been hard over the years, but I have some good friends that are my Family, and no more dysfunctional relationships, thank GOD!, I was also rejected by the Church, looking back now I think it was my non acceptance of self that took me on this journey, GOD bless the Freezen Family xxxx

That's one hot family ! ;) I loved this video and all the others that I saw from your channel, it's great to see that it hasn't always bad endig (being gay)
Wonderful!
i love this family....
That's amazing! And cool : )
Great family❤️❤️❤️
More than a thousand likes and less than ten dislikes. Times change
love this beautifull family!!!!!! 😁😘
Every time I'm becoming more confortable with who I am and getting excited about telling people I'm gay because of watching happy ending coming out gay videos, my rational side makes sure to remind me watch this video /watch?v=9J1cfVC_Qt0 (it's not my intention to advertise any channel) and stay grounded to the so called open minded 2016. I'm sorry, but this is the reality we are living in. It gets better...but just for a small category of people. P.S. : At least I am happy to see you as a gay person LIVING your life, but not just exist on Earth :)
Great parents 👍and kinds as well ❤️
It's an amazing,honest and inspiring video.
I am gay and I have 1 brother who’s gay too. I was hiding from him and he was hiding fro me for many years. I dated someone for 3-4 years and my brother didn’t know. Later on I found out my brother had bf for 10 years. He is a older brother and he said he was afraid of me if I find out about him been gay. Anyhow, kinda long story. I meant to say that I have sibling who’s gay....
You have a lovely family :)
Just a beautiful normal family 😘
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you.
your dad is so cute and lovable!
how are the siblings toward each other when all are gay? before and after they all (you all) already come out? thanks
how did you three come out to each other?
Great family! Now, what's going on with the windows? Looks like they were just stuck in the walls. Is the house being renovated?
Why don't they have the same family name?

+HelloElo They do, Justin Gerhard is a staged name, real name is Jason Friesen
"I hope my daughter is les so I can have a daughter in law"...hahaha, that's soooooo funny!
2 of my 3 kids are gay :)
When your dad said that he hoped his daughter was a lesbian so he could have a daughter in law it reminded me of a joke that my grandma said. One family dinner a family of five sat down and one of the sons said that he have to say something very important he had to say and so he said it and it was “I am gay” and his family excepted him with open arms and then about 5 minutes later the other son said he had something to say and it was “I am also gay” ok the family was still excepting and then the dad looked over at the daughter and said jokingly “So will you be the one to give me a daughter in-law” and she said “Well about that... Yes I will be” and then the father and the mother jumped up and started to dance and sing.
Your dad kinda looks like Flula
2020
Is your brother single 😉
Rock on! Don kinda looks like Henry Rollins.... great look!
To the parents: If being gay is a question of nurture, can you tell us how you got it so right.
It doesn't will matter. Bat. I see. In this. Family. They is. Big. Love.
I was wondering aboot Gerhard and the windows.
