It being more of a "journey" of me coming to terms with my sexuality and eventually fully embracing it over the course of my life, the Video is rather long. I've gone ahead and marked some helpful time stamps below that may help you navigate the vide to sections you may be more interested in hearing about!
0:00 - 4:50: Wrestling with my sexuality in my early adolescent years
4:50 - 14:14: Beginning the coming out process in high school
14:14 - 23:17: Coming out to my parents!
23:17 - 28:10: Being fully out and and a reflection of my experiences

WoW, what a lucky man your father is. To have a son so genuine of character. If I had a son I’d want him to be just like you.

I Doubt you will see this , But Your Coming Out Video, was filled with Strength & True Pride ! I hear so many videos saying how difficult it is ( and it's not easy) But I am probably your parents age , similar situation, and I Came Out in 1980 when I was 15yrs old. I was part of the generation who protested for our rights and Glad to hear your story !

You were a very brave young man when you came out to your dad. You seem very sweet. What a great story you told.

1.3.22- Wow! We sure have a lot of things in common, we are the only son and the oldest son, having two younger sisters. I wish I had it easier like you. I come from a Muslim family, being LGBT is one of the most difficult things. I can somewhat understand what you are going through because my Spouse who is Latino had a not so easy coming out story, but his family came around. Both of my exes who are Latino as well, one who is Mexican had easier times coming out to their respected families. I have family in the Bay Area. Unfortunately, in my religion and culture being a member of the LGBT community isn’t widely accepted. I admire you and I can tell you are at a good place in life, I envy you, just remember you have inspired me. Props man!

Beautiful story. Thank you for the detail and nuance. Everyone’s experience is different. I went through much the same relationship with my parents in the eighties if you’d an believe it! We did not communicate about my gay life after I came out to them in my early twenties. Dad was compassionate, which was a surprise as he was macho, and mom was not surprisingly when I came out and we were very close. Dad never talked about it again until he passed way. Mom talks about it with me only now when she is 82! But they were never negative or nonsupportive with me about it.

Well done cousin keep it going! 💯

Hey great video I am so grateful that guys your age and younger are making videos like this!!! However I would ask you to rephrase one situation : you don’t hurt anyone, by coming out. People react as they want, and their choice of reaction is not your doing.
