9 years ago and American teens had already started misusing the word “ like “ in conversations !!. Sad to see so many people who cannot construct a sentence without misusing the word “like” 2 or 3 times in a sentence . It sounds so ignorant what kind of upbringing or education have they had?

@@123fishpond Yes, - and not only American teens - it grates with me a little, but only a little and I don't think it's sad, just ignorant - same way so many people; not only young people - I've heard politicians say "hence why", when they mean either "hence" or "that's why". I just think language and language usage is constantly changing and there's not much we can do about it.

Liam what happened to you was not\ luck: you are gifted, intelligent, sensitive, personable, adorable, and loaded with charm...you integrity, your candor, your insights, well, if you will accept your qualities you will find the guy that adores you...go for it guy...

Your voice is really soothing. I'm in college right now... and uhh, I'm still working on it. haha... yea.

This just came up Liam. Great concise video that didn’t ramble on. You’ve got a great gift of presentation!! And more importantly you’re story is great!

I was just searching for "coming out" videos and stumbled upon yours. You shared your story so well and how it all happened. I am glad you had positive responses from people. I'm much older and have told some people, but have not openly told everyone. Lately, I've been watching some movies and TV that's making me feel more sure that I should come out to people. Thank you for your story and bravery.

Love you babycakes! I'm so glad we're such good friends and I'll never forget how you trusted me as the first person to come out to. It means a lot to me! :)

This video means a lot to me. I've already came out to my parents and friends but I just felt so alone tonight. Thank you so much because this has helped me power through

watching videos on coming out honestly helps me out. I havent came out yet , well I told like only 4 friends. I wanna tell my bestfriends and family but honestly I think none of them would accept me. My mom is somewhat religious , she has a gay friend, but I dontt think she'll like the fact that im gay. My older brother is against homosexuality, and my little brothers would probably accept me. We're really close, and I want everyone to know already! Im tired of hiding it! I need help!

Got another sub m8, that took balls well done :) definitely keeping an eye out for more videos

Really good story, and really important details relating quite a lot to experiences in my life, just havnt really found the strength to get as far yet but this has really helped a lot to answer some questions.

Liam that’s such an awesome video. I’m so happy for you! All my best to you!

I am so proud of your generation, which is much more open than mine! Nevertheless I think I might become prejudiced and start believing that only the gay guys are gorgeous!

Omg such a great video. I loved it! So inspiring! Never be afraid of who you are and always keep your head up. Loved this vid, and very proud of you. 😃😍

Liam, you are quite fortunate to be the guy you are: sensitive,introspective, not defended, not guilt ridden, cute besides, and articulate...for you the issue f being in love with a guy was no big deal: you were loved, protected, and supported as a son, that, Liam, is the gift.

One of the best videos that I saw so far, Liam your an awesome guy, and nobody can make you feel bad, your really straight and strong to get all the bad feelings and the jokes outside. Im so happy so far to see this video and be proud to say that there's people like you, nobody can tell you what is wrong, you will create with steps your life and it really don't matter if your gay or not, you have a big heart and youre an amazing friend. Pd: Liverpool its not sucking right now but you have to remember that if you want to be good at soccer you have to take your glasses off, Also I really love the Camaro...take care.👏

Hope you have a wonderful life, great story.

Throughout the entire video i just wanted to hug him. He looks like he has lots of potential (:

...You got to the point in a very amusing, and gracious way...congrats bro!!!

Just watched your video. Kinda knew.. So grown up & soooo well put. Well done to you. I can't lie to you, Wished I could have be told. That's just me though. Looking forward to following your journey. ❤️ Fab Campbell 😍

So honest bro. beautiful

I can relate to a lot of elements of your story. It definitely helped re-assure that I am not alone. Thank you so very much for sharing!

Wow! Out of all the coming out videos I have seen, I feel I can relate the most towards you. Like I dated girls, not really because I wanted people to think I was straight, but because at the time I didn't really know if I was gay or not (just like you said) so I did what society thought was normal. Also, when I think about it, I don't remember if I have always known that I was gay, but I knew there was something different, and I have finally realized that I am gay. I haven't really told anyone yet, but not because I am afraid or anything, just because I know the type of person that I am, and I would rather wait till I go to college next year and find someone and then tell my mom. But I would only tell her and she could tell people from there. Because personally, I just don't think I should have to tell everyone my sexual orientation, I mean, it's society who assumes everyone is straight automatically. But yeah I have already thought everything out, but I am still being myself! Thanks for the video!

I love that you have the courage to tell your story in order to help others. A man should stand up to be counted for who he is and make no excuses. I hope that you have had a great life since this video.

last june my parents found out and they did it in a way that kind of took my coming out away and did it for me and i really resent that because i personally wasnt ready for it and feel that now they are way over the line with there rules and restriction for some strange reason i was actually diagnoised with depression because i wasnt really ok with myself at that time and knowing that they knew made it even worse im much better now though but i still have a liitle but of bitterness on how it happened but when its all said and done im just glad its over with its one of the most scary experience's you will ever have but im happy now and it does get better so ddont be afraid to just be you :) Thanks a bunch for making this awesome video Liam :D

Liam. You are a very special person. Your generous heart is overflowing with love. No doubt your future will be richly blessed. Wishing you all the best life has to offer.

Great coming out video!.this is one of the happier ones.this video will inspire others that are struggling with their sexuality. Coming out always takes courage.it takes a lot of energy, and soul searching, to come to terms with our true feelings, but its always worth it!.I wish you all the best, and I hope you will make more videos.its always a good thing not to hide who we are, and just be ourselves!.

Not only Cute but intelligent also...Bravo for your courage to come out. Best wishes for the future.

Great job Liam, good luck

That is a great video! I think it is very inspiring and I think it will help a lot of guys out there. I was very nervous when I made my own coming out video. Anyways, I subscribed and I wish u all the best!

Even 7 years later, your story still has power. I'm happy you accepted yourself in high school. It took me until after college to fully accept myself due to needing to reconcile my faith with being gay. My wish is for others like us to accept yourself much earlier in life and you did just that. Super happy for you! 😁🎶

good luck Liam, you can be anything you want

Wonderful story. It’s so long since you’ve done this. I’m going to see if you have more videos. You’ve done a very great thing for yourself and others.

That was inspiring, however I don't know if I am gay or not, I'm 17, and I guess I'll have to go with what my heart tells me, whatever happens, god loves all his children. :)

YES INDEED! God does love ALL of us! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I have an essentially adopted grandson who is gay, and he is the most wonderful person it's ever been my privilege to know. He is so kind, caring, thoughtful, compassionate and just plain GOOD! Being a Christian, I thought it made NO SENSE whatsoever that a true loving, God would ever simply reject such a wonderful person out of hand simply for being who he was born to be! It made not a shred of sense! So I began investigating. There are several excellent books dedicated to the subject, one of them being written by a Matthew Vines (he's gay and on YT) that exhaustively investigate the subject. Bottom line there is NO convincing evidence that God rejects gays anywhere in the Bible. So do some investigation for yourself. There are several great books dedicated to the subject found on Amazon - all written by highly credible authors, including long practicing and well respected members of he clergy. Check 'em out. As I often say of conventional wisdom about many things these days - it's so often long on convention and woefully short on wisdom.

Best COS I watched so far - thanx and I wish u all the very best...

I WISH I would have come out when I was a teenager. My life would have been so much different. I hid in the dark, depressing, self-loathing, self-hating, suicide contemplating "closet" of hellish despair, until I was 47 years old. But it was a lot different growing up in the 1960's and 70's. People were not as accepting of homosexuality as they are today. So, being a "bisexual," I succumbed to the pressure, and "pretended" to be straight. I dated girls (all of which cheated on me), I was married and divorced twice (to women, both cheated on me), and my life was pure hell. However, better late than never as they say. After my 2nd ex-wife cheated on me, and ran off with a 19 year old boy (she was 44), I gave my life and my decisions a LOT of thought, and that's when I decided that I was going to "come out." And people could ether accept me and love me for "who I really am" or they can get the hell out of my life. Their choice. And I am much happier (i.e. gay means "happy") now that I am totally "out." And I'm happy for you that you were able to come out while you're still young enough to make a life for yourself. GOD Bless you and your future.

Liam, youth counselor from the US here to tell you 'Good job, bro!" Just found you and just subbed. Sounds like you have a true and deep understanding of yourself.

Thanks for sharing this, and I’m sure this will help someone out there. I realized I was gay around 13, and only came out around 17, and now at 37 I want to see others be able to be out about who they are. I hope things continue to go well for you, and thanks again for telling your story here.

Well done Liam you be wat you want to be I'm so proud of you I know it must of be been hard but you handled it really well just keep on been you never change for anyone we all love you so much including me x

Liam, obviously I read this late, as I am new to You Tube. Monogamy is possible. The love of my life, passed away from cancer, just before our 15th year anniversary and just an hour after my birthday ended. He held on for me. I thought my life was over, but I met someone a year later and we have been together 23 years. To make a relationship truly work, it is give and take. Both my partners, had things I hated, but after time, I loved those things. A real long term relationship, you have to work together and be honest. Finding a long term partner, is so satisfying. When I first came out, because of my looks and physique, it was just sex and was not fulfilling. Having a real partner, is the best. I hope you can find a real partner, to share your life with. I was lucky also, as my family treated both as a son and brother. Best wishes!

I loved your delivery and your continued eye contact with your camera lense...it made it a comfortable conversation. CONGRATULATIONS on your successful revelation. Not only are you a sweet, attractive young man, but you are also a warmhearted person. That comes across in your video. As a professional director/videographer, I commend you on this video project.

Congrats Liam and always live your life from your backbone!

In tears!!!

I came out when I was 16 years old in my freshman year I went through the same

Your story sounds like mine...I couldn't call myself gay because it was soo hard to say..thank you for your story. I hope you have a great happy and successful life. 🙂

This lowkey looks like a documentary intro

Great first video nicely done very relaxed and cool about a touchy subject good luck in your future adventure and may you find the right guy

You had the luck with all the you tube… I came out because I had too. I was 31 years old, I dated this fellow from the firehouse, yes I was a firefighter, EMT and a police officer, it all began with this fellow going out for a drink or two with girl and some friends ours. I did not have a problem with him going out I just what to know when he comes back and we got in a argument and he grabbed a hold of me push back into a wall. I did not lay a hand on him. But, next door was the chief and vice-president and they came in room. I was a big guy back in those day and I had to go to work (police officer). They talked to him and he told them we were going out for 3 years and he told them I push him against the wall. They notify my Sgt. and before long I was placed on suspend with pay on Feb. 10. By the time we had a hearing it was July 7 when I said I am done with this and the hearing. I left the job and left the firehouse. 2 years went by, I was a Corporal at a near by town and I was the Vice-President of a near by firehouse. They asked me to come back and I yes. Chad, the guy I had a relationship with was made Captain. I became Treasure and before long I was President of the firehouse that did not want me.

Hi Liam. I hope you are doing well. I hope you have found happiness and life is good for you.
