My Coming Out Story | The Journey of a Taiwanese | The discovery, struggles and acceptance.

One thing I totally didn't address is how liberal and supportive my mom and my brothers actually were/are. I am lucky to have them as a family but the struggle to come out was still real. Did that happen for anyone else? 錄製的時候忘了提及媽媽跟弟弟們其實都十分開放且支持。有他們當家人實在很幸運，但是出櫃的過程仍然很掙扎。其他人有同樣的經歷嗎？

David, I am glad that you pushed through the struggle to come out. The biggest part of this are the conflicts in our own minds. I had the underwear model ads experience too. I am a US-born Latin guy with a Taiwanese boyfriend who just became a US citizen. Just remember that people are all around you that will support you including me. I am glad your family was accepting as this will always be a blessing as you go forward.

Dear David, i’m so proud of you, and I’m so sorry we didn’t recognize that you were at a loss and struggled through your teenage years. Love u, dear.

It's incredible how hard early years can be for our folks.

Your coming out video resonated with me so much! I am also a Taiwanese living in the US. I came out last year on social media and wound up receiving much support from friends and family. I found myself sharing many similar experiences mentioned in the video. It was hard and struggling indeed. But, I am proud of the decision I made and glad to see you come all the way to accept yourself :) Proud of ourselves and happy pride!!

You told that story really well, David. Clear and concise. You’ve a lovely smiley, handsome face too. 😀

English has always been my escape, too. Lol Glad to see a Taiwanese coming out story. Thanks for sharing.

so proud of you Dave~

身為一位30多歲的台灣人又是長子，看到您的影片真的有許多啟發。 例如跟身邊人(異性戀)都無法太深入，尤其是女朋友這種話題...😵‍💫 出櫃真的是一個需要需要很多條件，當然每個人都不一樣， 如同您經濟獨立、穩定的伴侶、且離開原生家庭與親族， 真的是時機成熟了! 成功了!👍 您母親對您的愛，真的是無比感動。 恭喜您囉~😀

David, thanks for the video. You are wise in picking the right time to tell your family. It's so funny that after we let our family know, we find out that they are supportive and we could have included them many years earlier. That would have saved us a lot of anguish. I hope that you are continuing your education, as that will be very important for you in the future. Basically, we can (and should) be all that we were created to be. Luv ya; Dennis & Dean

Here, may this wisdoms leads you to a better life for you and your loved ones:- "See the world not as it is, but as it should be." "Nobody should ever feel belittled for whoever they love". "Religion is about PEACE and MERCY of God." "When you get to God, He will never judge you based on your sexuality. He will judge and look at you, based on what type of a person you are." "God loves us beyond any and everything else, and that’s who we should love first." "You're entitled to love whoever you want to, the way that you want to, without the judgement of anyone else." "And in the sight of God, KINDNESS and LOVE are the highest priority."

Thank you for sharing your story! You are a handsome, articulate and wise man

Love you, David. 🥰

Thanks very much for the upload.

Proud of you David ! respect ! -by your high school friend ~

Always here for yoy~and I know you are the same ^^ Love you

Hi David, I'm 18, and watching your video comforts me, knowing that I can also do the same in the near future. Every time my dad says GAY or 屎忽佬 (I'm from Hong Kong haha), I have to immediately uncross my legs and speak in a lower voice so he won't notice! Thankfully, my older brother is also queer, so I guess that's God's way for cursing my dad for being homophobic, by making our family 陽具滿堂 <3

Congratulations on your coming out. It is a long road that we travel to find peace and happiness. Is Dan going to be in your videos?

Wow! I'm glad I came upon your coming out video. How touching. How poignant. You brought a little tear to my eye. You're very handsome and seem so sweet. I wish only good things for you.
