I didn't come out until I was well into my 30s wasn't a great experience but knew for years and years and kept denying my true self now 52. I have my partner of 27 years this year who's been by my side since the very beginning. That's great you have some many great coming out stories we are all different I suppose 🌈🌈🌈

"Andrew...I saw some things on your computer..." ("I don't even want to know what he was thinking...") Been there

Wow! Time sure has flown by Andrew... the boyishness is gone, the manliness emerged!

Andrew, I'm so proud of you for coming out. Thank goodness for having such a supportive family. I didn't come out until I was in my 40s. My son was my hugest support, and he was straight. My wife was absolutely wonderful, and continues to be. (I know that sounds complicated, but it's not...love conquers all. Don't ever forget that, Andrew.) Plus I'm proud of every young person that does come out...what courage it takes to do that, and, for me, it shows incredible character to be honest with yourself and others. Thank for this video. Big thumbs up, Andrew!

as soon as you said band camp all i thought was "this one time at band camp...!"

You were soooooooo lucky with your parents and stepmom. Both of my parents were dead set against it. I tried coming out twice. The first time with my Mom she was like how could you be gay you like Dolly Parton and brushed it off. The second time she stopped talking to me for like 3 weeks and I was literally dying inside cause my Mom was my rock. So if you can believe it I talked myself out of being gay and I told my Mom I'd never mention it again. I'm 50....and I've never been on a date....or known love. Just the love of my Mom. She passed on November 3rd 2021....and it's the hardest thing I ever went through in my life. Now it's just me and......I'm alone. It's very hard!!!!

You have such a sweet, and warm personality. I can truly see why your friends and family are so supportive of you. Any guy you end up being with, will be truly lucky to have you. Good Luck, and God Bless.

OMG you are really beautiful

This video honestly made me so happy. I just recently came out to my peers but idk if I'm ready to come out to my mom and step dad. He is really "old fashion" IG is the word but I'm glad u had that much support!😁

Props from a Baby Boomer whose family didn't take my coming out nearly as well as yours did. I watch videos like this and am so glad that things are better than they were in my day. Best of luck, man.

I am not into the whole "daddy" scene, but seeing you really tests my limits. You are such an awesome looking guy. Don't let the haters shame you because of their personal insecurities. I am a hefty older guy, but they tell me that even I will find my perfect match. LOL

Andrew, just found you and subbed. As a counselor and teacher, your video gives me hope that not everyone has as tough a time as the guys I work with. This video is so good to show others that being 'gay' is as 'normal' for the homosexual as being 'straight' is for the heterosexual. Thanks, bro...................Ray

Coming Out stories are so unique and never boring for me. I can hear countless coming out stories and I will still be intrigued.

you're a drop of sunshine. keep on spreading you're light

Hi Andrew, new comment on an old video, I know. I'm from Italy, and I just discovered your channel, and I've seen many of your videos. When, yesterday, I found this and I watched this I decided to come out with my mum before Next Christmas. She already knows about me, I think, but I wasn't sure if to keep it unsaid or to find courage and tell her. I think that you had part in this, so thank you. This is important for me. Andrea (italian version of ur name ahahah)

Thank you Andrew for a most terrific life story. You have a wonderful grasp on a very difficult stage of your life. God Bless.

I love what your mom told you about how she’d love to have a gay son, it’s a blessing to have a gay son. Thank you for sharing your story, and your mom for her attitude and inspiration.

you're lucky af... i have no idea if i'm still alive when i came out someday... good for you it's pretty encouraging

Thanks for sharing your story Andrew.

You are ADORABLE! So happy for you that you can be yourself with your family

Thank you for sharing your story with us! It is the best feeling when they accept you the way you really are and i'm looking forward to seeing more of you!

Hey Andrew thanks for sharing your story :D! Being a gay couple on youtube we are already automatically "out" regardless of making a coming out video or not but we def think its important to share these stories and help little gays all around the world accept and feel comfortable with themselves :) So yeah just wanted to say thanks for sharing buddy! -Philip & Shawn

Dude your stories are so relatable especially the stuff about magazines and stuff at a younger age! It brought me to tears and brought back so many memories! :(

I can't tell you how much it warms my heart to hear stories like yours. Thank you for sharing, Andrew.

new subscriber. I'm on a marathon watching all your vids. Glad you had a great experience coming out.

This was awesome. Glad you shared this and spoke about it.

this is literally almost identical to what is happening to me right now. thank you for sharing your story and showing how supportive everyone was

Hey drew thank you so much! I'm from Mexico and this is really helpful, thank you for sharing your story.

Andrew I am a new subscriber here. I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your videos. You seem so humble and big-hearted and that is so refreshing. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for sharing such a great story Andrew. You are very lucky you had such a positive response and I'm happy for you.

absolutely adorable. thanks so much for sharing. you're helping a lot of people

OMG your story is just like mine. Same feelings, same thoughts. It's so good to have someone who we can identify with. Thank u so much for sharing your story!

You're literally a visionary, I love your channel. Please don't stop making videos :)

Crazy man- almost same experience many years back- except it was 'browsing a Sears catalog' when I first noticed my true interests.

Andrew - You are lucky. And your message is one that should be shared often. Especially because you do so in such a "normal" way - absent the timbre of fear that I see so often in other Coming Out messages. Your demeanor is infectious in a most good way. Best to you!

Great video, Thanks for sharing it. I had a similar experience and I realise how lucky I was. Hope it encourages more young people to come - and more families and friends to be relaxed and supportive about it.

Really glad that your experience has been so positive......keep sharing it so that experiences like yours become the norm!

You’re story was really heartwarming. I wish that my family could be as supportive like your’s. I really liked this story you shared. I just want hear more of this often.☺️😊😘

your a really awesome guy i mean this helped me so much i mean i was already out and it seems we had similar experiences my family was cool with it too so i just smiled watching this as it reminded me how i felt when they were supportive when i came out. Also your videos are awesome and your a really cool guy x

Thanks for telling your story. Congratulations on being brave for standing up to be counted. You're well spoken and charming, you made it entertaining. I'm certain people struggling with the issue will find your video inspirational. Props to your parents for being loving and supportive. I'm quite a bit older than you and stories like yours amaze me.

Hey Andrew, thank you for this video, actually gave me inspiration to start do a video about my experience as well. Keep up the great work.

Andrew, of all the vids on here, urs had the most impact on me. I can identify for sure, wish there was some way I could meet you as I feel you are more real and honest than anyone ive heard. I can always hope.

Great Video, loved how much detail he put into it

Wow. The reaction you received was great. What a blessing to have people so understanding in your family. Mom, with the glass of wine, was actually quite hilarious. How dramatic and new age with the candles. Loved it.

I really have to say. I admire you very very much. you are so courageous, loving and humble, I really look to you and the person you are. I watched alot of your videos and they help me out so much with my own experiences. your one of my biggest role models and I hope to meet you one day. thanks again for the videos you share.

I about cried watching this, nothing bad even happened, o was just so glad his family was like that

Watching any video no matter how "hard" the story is always helps me. I'm still kind of struggling but I'm getting there. Thank you! And gosh you're cute! Lol

Your amazing. Respect bro🙏❤️

You have a great voice! So handsome and love your story!

i related to your story so much and it really inspired me to come out so i think i’m gonna try and do it soon thank you for sharing!

I wish I could like this video a thousand times over. glad you had very accepting parents not everyone is lucky like that, but I feel even if it is a struggle you will always come out stronger at the top being yourself!!

Your voice is so calming and relaxing. I love it!

Thanks for sharing your experience, I found a lot to relate to. And you follow Mark and Ethan. Yusssss.

Inspiring! Thank you for sharing this with everyone 😊

Omg I have watched this so many times. You just are amazing and I wish I had family like yours. You just inspire me and I wish I could meet someone like you. Maybe if I wish on my lucky stars one day. YOU ROCK ANDREWWW

You are a amazing and great person. Thanks for sharing your story

Very similar stories. I feel blessed to have had such an easy experience. Thank you for sharing :)

I love this video, I wish my family would have been as supportive but it is what it is. Thanks for this video Andrew! :)

Just came out yesterday..unfortunately my mom is not too pleased. Thankful for the rest of my family for being supportive. Thanks for the video Andrew

cheers for you and all who love and support you

Watched you over the yrs. I'm a road musician, love your integrity and sense of humor! Keep it goin! Me

I love listening to your stories. Lots of heart. Handsome beautiful guy.

1:19 That expression change lolol

He is really really nice on talking I can tell he is nervous

Very well spoken. Thank you

Andrew, I love watching your videos. I follow you on Instagram also. You are such an inspiration to me. I live in Georgia and have been raised in a religious family so the struggle is definitely different.

I know this video is very old, but i just wanted to say that it is very hard for some too come out to even a friend, some like myself never even wanted my fockes to know. I knew it would never be anywhere near the same, I knew that my mother would never look at me the same way again. To be honest she never has, it has changed my whole relationship with her and everyone else in my family, and I don't know if that feeling will ever go away. Thank you for the video, it was what i needed to get through another day.

Loved your story. Thank you

I remember I came out to the bishop (Who later on became a really good friend when I left the church) when I was in Mormonism and he was fully accepting but he asked me “Do you want kids?’ And I don’t know why but that broke my heart.

im currently in the middle of coming out to my family and its not going great. I wish I could have had half the support you did. Thanks for sharing

Your so open and I love it thank you

I forgot to mention this in my own coming out video, but you're "rationalization," for a lack of better words, was exactly the same as mine. I always thought the really attractive, muscular men made me feel how I did because I wanted to look like them, not because I was attracted to them. That's crazy man!! I wonder how many others there are!

Andrew you are a very engaging speaker!

Your experience is nearly identical to mine! Although I never posted on social media about it, rather I told my stepmom and she told my dad and my dad told my mom. However, my mother wasn't as cool about it as your mom was. But I was lucky to have the support of friends and certain family members. But your experiences are so similar to mine and I'm glad you shared your story!

You're very supportive ! Support you, guy !

you are such an awesome guy. amazing.

Your hiking videos looks amazing! I've never gone hiking. What wine do you like best?? I love Moscato!! Jacob's Creek is the best!!

Andrew, I can completely relate to this. I used to feel soo bad because I didn't have a horrific childhood due to being gay. I was very popular in school and most people just always loved me. But I used to hate telling others this... My how life has changed 😊. Thanks for Sharing

Andrew, you are very fortunate to have had such a awesome, supportive family and friends. Good for you and best wishes for the adventures that lay ahead for you. You have good looks and most importantly, a good heart.

So happy for you! Had the same thing happened to me this year! :))

Thanks for sharing your story! you have a great family and I definitely subscribed ^_^

wow..your parents are awesome. That makes a whole world of difference.

Sweetheart...thanking you for a wonderful video and the coming out process you experienced. My coming out went just as well because family figured it out long before I knew....anyway, it's been almost 30 years and it was the BEST coming out I could ever imagine. My parents were divorced as well and remember writing my dad a letter about my being gay....he was supportive and loving in his own way and I thought how great that was. All they wanted was for me to be happy. I have been out now nearly 30 years and a mentor to several of our gay youth helping them live in a world that's still not accepting. I teach them about being kind, generous, respectful and tolerant to others and today they're all doing well and now paying it forward from what they learned early on. I AM SO PROUD OF THEM ALL and proud of you baby for sending such a good message to those kids who's yet to come out. Hoping someday that coming out will be a thing of the past and that your sexuality should NOT mean a thing. Wishing you well sweetheart and I have enjoyed your videos for awhile...you are a lovely young man and feel you will go very far in life. Be well and if ever you need to chat I'll be here for you too...xoxox "Mama" Steve😊👍🏿

Your vid appeared in my feed - And I was sure I was going to have something to say, but it turns out that you seem to be handling life far better than most. I'm speechless - and so very thankful for you taking the time to share yourself. You're doing just fine, Andrew. So keep up the good work! Now if you ever decide to get engaged, let me know - I have a lot of good things to share. Hugs....

nice to find another sweet, down-to-earth gay guy to watch and follow. it's lovely that your family is supportive. I'm a slightly older fellow than you, dating an awesome guy for three years. not out to my parents, i genuinely feel like it will somewhat ruin our family dynamic. it's uplifting to hear positive coming out stories like this. ❤
