My Gay Coming Out Story 2022

Hi, guys, and welcome back to another video. This one, as you can probably tell is a little bit different because this is my coming out story. Yeah, I don’t know what it is about us gay YouTubers, but we must tell people our gay story for some reason, and I am not the exception, but I am making it nonetheless because hopefully, it helps someone somewhere. Now, believe it or not, I do like to help people.

As you can see from my other videos, if you’ve seen them, I do like to try and help people solve problems. And I think coming out to people is probably one of the hardest things you could possibly do. But it’s worth doing. If I can help one person do it, and given the strength to do it, then I’m happy. Anyway, enough about me, let me take you back to a 13-year-old me who came out to his friends and his family.

Now the first people that I told I was gay were my friends. That was probably because it was easier to talk to them than it was my family at the time. Besides, if they don’t like it, you can get new friends, right. And kids being kids, it’s the easiest thing to accept. Because at a young age, it’s easier to accept those things. It’s not a big deal. I still speak to a lot of them today, we’re still just as close now as we were then.

But as I said, the hardest people to tell are your family and a little bit about my parents.

They’re from East London, they’re very cockney, they’re a bit way we’re going to go and watch the football. That’s my type of parent. So I set my parents down. And in my head, I had it all planned out or give myself up beforehand. When it actually came to it, I froze almost and almost didn’t say I was gay. I did get the courage enough to say it. They said they already know.

Now I pictured the worst-case scenario, I thought there was going to be screaming and shouting and everything possible. I thought it was going to go terribly. That was everything in my head going out the window. I had rehearsed this and planned every single possible answer and question an outcome I could possibly think of. I expected the worst. But Never did I expect the very probably best I could possibly expect from my family. How they knew is beyond me.

Maybe it’s because I didn’t like football.

By them saying they already knew what they thought they already knew. threw me off guard. Because I planned the worst response possible. They did completely throw me off track to the point I just got up and when okay, then that’s it. That’s all I wanted to say. And pretty much bolted for the door. Afterward, I remember sitting there thinking, what just happened? I’ve come out. They didn’t respond to it. Pretty much anyway, that was it. It just went yeah, we know, we thought we knew.

So afterward, I left and went to a friend’s house and told him that I’d come out and that was avoiding my parents for the rest of the day. In my head, I’m thinking like when I go home, there’s gonna be like, loads more questions, which I’d geared up for anyway.

But because they throw me off of the track, I just needed to get out and sort of compose myself and go back into the situation. After evaluating what happened. I got home after being at my friend’s house, and everything was just back to normal. There was no
wanting to ask me any questions.

It was how what did you do while you was out? Basic stuff. It was as if nothing had happened. And I was still expecting it all day long. I was even though once I got home, I was expecting more to come from it, even though Dave just didn’t seem to care. I remember going to bed that night thinking I don’t know what’s, you know, tomorrow, they’re gonna be such they get paid.

They’re just letting me digest it in the process. It’s still and I just genuinely in my head. I couldn’t sleep that night. I remember waking up in the morning thinking more things are gonna ask someone’s gonna say something, and it didn’t happen. I spoke to my brother and sister and sat them down and came out to them they already knew because my parents had already told him. So that made it easier in that sense.

So it’s not always as bad as people seem to think it is or imagine it is. It’s always worse in your head than what it is in real life. If you are a person who’s looking to come out then chances are the people you’re looking to tell all You know, fundamentally what I’d like to see in the future is kids not having to watch videos like this. And parents probably not watching videos like this that have to let their kids come out to them.

Just let your kids be your kids and it doesn’t matter whether they come out or not and gay or straight. That’s it for this video. If you did find it useful, please do give it a like and share.
