Ok this is interesting timing. KZread put you in my path and I'm glad. The other day I watched a youtuber, now going a bit viral, who sadly has a daughter who doesn't talk to her. I don't know what happened but at one point the woman said she and her husband were very accepting of "alternative lifestyles", they just don't think it should be shoved down their throats. I thought, and there it is. Isn't that the mantra of homophobes? "I don't mind but..." Now I am a straight woman with a straight son but I think any parent who isn't 100% accepting of their children, doesn't deserve them. I'm sick of all types of prejudice. We have a joke in our house, when my son told me he was straight I said, "I'm sure we'll still be close." subbed! PS Sorry to shove all that talk of straightness down your throats. :D

@@steveinpalmspringsca yes, I've had my share. I've always said "even if Mother Teresa had made a KZread channel, she'd get rude and insulting comments."

I, also, spent much of my youth as the youngest person in the room; I was most comfortable with older, more mature, people. Eventually, and inevitably, I became the oldest person in the room. This has required. Much adjusting on my part. I am saddened by each millimeter of "vim and vigor" that I lose, but what saddens me the most is the blatant ageism and arrogant assumptions of those who are currently in their prime.

Oh Steve, I'm so sorry! As a straight woman whose career was nursing, I worked shoulder to shoulder with gay and lesbian people and they are friends too. My friends here are all gay, I trust gay and lesbians more than I trust straight folks. I love my friends as they are more authentic than my straight friends. What I saw at Pride was a community coming together to support each other, there were so many types of people celebrating and it was heart warming. When the state of Minnesota voted to make same sex marriage legal, I was at the capitol to celebrate, it was important to me to see history made and to celebrate freedom for all. When one group of people are segregated, how are any of us free? We all should have the freedom to be our authentic selves and celebrate who we are and celebrate our communities with love and freedom and yes, freedom from insults and nasty comments on KZread. Really folks, it's much worse now than it ever was and it's time for all to grow up.

I told him he and other straight people are lucky that they don't need a pride day because straight people are not discriminated by society, that laws are not being enacted to limit your rights to live your life, that straights are not committing suicide because they are straight, that straights can display public affection without danger, persecution, or violence against them.

Ignore the bad people steve...👍

Hi, Steve and Jim! Such ignorant people who posted those abusive comments. I have positive thoughts that some of those people will one day actually come out of their ignorance and understand. I know it’s a pipe dream to think they all will-that stretches credulity. You two just continue to enjoy your wonderful life. Love to you both.❤ I enjoy you very much.😊

Ignore them. The people that leave nasty comments are usually very unhappy and have nothing better to do than spread misery. Keep going Steve! Love your videos!

I totally agree with Jim. You do a good job letting us know what is in the video by description or the thumbnail. So if it looks like you aren't going to enjoy it just don't watch it. That is my rule for all the channels I subscribe to. Keep up the good work Steve. Also hope you both found everything you needed at Walmart this week.

I loved it & I will send my trans nephew to live in Palm Springs after he graduates from Sarah Lawrence👍. I loved the police car. Nice to live in a place, where you won’t be assaulted for living life. Keep up the cool videos. 😍👍

Sadly, LGBTQ plus people get assaulted here in Palm Springs too. There’s just no escaping hatred and cruelty in the world. But The attacks here in Palm Springs are very rare. Probably because the community is so accepting and protective of LGBTQ plus people. Our last mayor was a transgender woman. One of the first of the country. So even though no place is completely safe, it’s definitely a lot safer here to live your life the way you were born. Your nephew will be very welcome here. 😄👍

People just need to shut their mouths. Everyone has a right to live their lives as they want. Please keep up your videos I LOVE THEM ❤

@stevesvlog I remember that cuurb stopped my daughter-in-law for being a lesbian. They just grabbed her off. The street put her head in the gutter and kicked it. Thank god she wasn't killed. I can understand nothing about this. Her and my daughter gave me two beautiful grandchildren. I find gay bashing extremely vile.

Hi Guys . That's right no one forced anyone to watch the parade or go to the parade . There's the old saying , if you don't have anything nice to say , don't say anything at all ! So sorry there are people who are so nasty . Everyone is human with feelings no matter their religion,color, nationality, LGBTQ . Have fun grocery shopping. Take care . Deborah 🇨🇦

Just seems that the nasty people have found their way to your site , that’s very sad . Everything you have put on your channels I have watched . I might not understand people today , but you always show good stuff , you are a clean show that anyone can watch . Just delete the dopes that are here to stir the pot and remember the rest of us like what you post . The part of putting our self in someone else’s shoes , you have that right . I judge people by what comes from their heart , either good or bad . Life is so short , these dopes will learn soon , they too will be old and gray haired ( if they don’t color the hair ) . Keep up the videos , I enjoy watching them . Sorry for the negative comments you have received .

Unfortunately some people don't realize how ignorant they truly are. If you are truly accepting of anyone you don't need to tell them, you show it in your behavior towards them and you certainly don't add qualifiers. Just love and accept people for who they are.

As Jim said, no one is forcing people to watch! Frankly I didn't watch any of those videos of the parade, but still I enjoy your content here and have learned a lot on how to understand both perspectives because of it. And sorry you face such difficulty.

Hello Steve and Jim! Firstly, Pride week was so fun in Palm Springs; I wish it was more frequent. EVERYBODY was so nice…..and I talked to a ton of folks participating, so that is a pretty indicative cross section of all of us there. Aside from KZread, LinkedIn is my only other social media I use. Somebody posted a pic of the Palm Springs police suv that has the pride colors on it, and was expressing thanks for what they do, and for keeping the Villagefest safe this last week. The same thing happened to that person as what was said to you two; a landslide of bad human comments. I am super sorry you two have to continue your lives being discriminated against. Yes…lots of people are deliberate, and then there are some that are so ignorant that they don’t know or realize what they say or do is bad. It is so sad that we have the amount of people that suck. There is no way I can even pretend that I walk in the shoes that LGBTQ+ people do with regards to the discrimination that goes on. But, from my little position in the world, you would be shocked (but maybe you wouldn’t) at during my talks with my former war buddies when I eventually tell them that we bought a place in Palm Springs, CA this year; and then to hear their comments. In some cases, these are guys that I actually fought with overseas; which is traditionally one of the relationships that humans put on the highest pedestals together of unfettered commitment to each other. It literally is a relationship that any person would envious of. Unfortunately , their comments are disturbing, disrespectful, and disgusting. Some of them limit it to California bashing. But most include anti LGBTQ+ comments too. Sadly, I now communicate with a lot less of my army fraternity; literally, guys that I exposed myself to enemy fire to cover them. So, I know I have made some of these comments about my mantras or beliefs, etc before. But, it is a good time to consolidate them. - EVERYBODY has something to offer to the cause. I was in units that recruited, equipped, trained, and advised indigenous people out on combat missions. My work mates would frequently comment on their lower education, their skin color, and their lack of ability to speak English (which they automatically correlated with being inferior). And I always reminded them to not discount anybody and they all have something to offer. - there is a reason for the equal opportunity statement “don’t discriminate against race, religion, sexual orientation, etc etc”. Because….it is the good human thing to live that way. Who in the world gave a discriminating person the right to talk to anybody as they stand on some perceived pedestal? - when I hear someone bashing people for any of the reasons mentioned above, I tell them that I never talked to a war prisoner in such a manner that we just apprehended; even if we found them, in action, in a room with hanging corpses and dismemberments laying around. I know it is somewhat gross of a statement or example, but it definitely drives home the point to them. - if people applied the amount of effort that they expend, to be mean and yahoos to others, towards themselves, they would probably be a decent human and, in most cases, be better off. Anyways…I appreciate you two….and hope you have a super week!

We appreciate you Alan. Thank you for sharing this with us. It’s interesting, but sad to hear. The world definitely needs more people like you in it. Thank you for being one of the good ones and for trying to help some of the not so good ones to be better. 😄👍

I think people are free to live their lives the way they want without judgement from others. I personally love watching your videos showing people having fun whether they’re straight or gay. I can only imagine the prejudices you’ve faced in your life because you are gay. You and Jim are great and I like your channel. Keep up the great work and know not everyone is unkind.

Change is SO slow. And we sadly live in a hateful environment as well, most of the time. Haters gonna hate especially since they can do it hiding behind their keyboards in a most cowardly fashion. I love you guys. You are the best. Glad I found you a couple years ago. You represent and I appreciate it. I find it a bit ironic that you are 2 of the most NORMAL g ay people I've ever seen, i.e., PEOPLE. Lol. We all are. But seriously, it just shows that there is so much more work to be done. Hard to believe the fight goes on still. Just to BE.
