About The Time I Was Disowned

[@SebastianCastro]

What was your coming out like? And if you haven’t yet come out, what’s the biggest thing holding you back?

[@nusantarachanel3458]

I didmt come out yet cause i still depend on my parents i have to find my own independence in case something happen because i live in a muslim country which very dangerous to come out as gay

[@SebastianCastro]

trap box Yikes well that’s perfectly understandable. What country do you live in?

[@SebastianCastro]

trap box Well I normally advise LGBT+ youth in Manila to do the same thing-to focus on becoming financially stable before coming out, especially if their parents are conservative or religious. When my parents disowned me i wasn’t ready, so good for you for trying to be cautious. 👍👍 **Rainbow hugs from Manila**

[@brianuy8481]

I've been there too. When I first came out and people can't believe and they're like going away from me. Masakit lng talagang isipin na people are expecting a lot from me especially with my sexuality at umaabot na sa point na nakakasakal na talaga.

[@FrancisIrang]

I am bisexual too. Hindi alam ng parents ko and some of my siblings, hindi ko man lang din nasabi sa father ko before he died last year, pero i think may idea na sila. Wala lang talaga ako lakas ng loob para mag out. Happy naman ako kahit ganito sitwasyon ko. I love you seb😍

[@SebastianCastro]

Francis Irang Channel Alam mo may isa akong friend na has a similar situation. In his case, his father passed bago sya mag-come out.. It’s ok to wait some times.. Lalong lalo pag hindi ka financially self-reliant. Anyways, sounds like youre making the best of things, Sib

[@FrancisIrang]

Sebastian Castro Yes tama ka. Kaya ok lang sa akin ung sitwasyon ko sa pagkatao ko ngayon. Masaya naman ako. Kapag nakapag out na ako i will tell you😊 Thanks. Godbless you always😍

[@SebastianCastro]

Francis Irang Channel Please let me know in the comment box of my latest vid.. I’ll look forward to that day 😊

[@sandbox1803]

I so admire the man you are today. Watching your previous video about coming out to Jehovah's Witness parents, literally broke my heart. I was raised gay and Mormon, and it was devastating. Religion can be one of the cruelest forces on the planet. Love you unconditionally

[@A1441]

Haynaku, SEB. Ang gwapo mo talaga. And on top of that is an intelligent mind and a beautiful soul (and a good speaking voice). Nasa iyo na ang lahat!

[@larry3638]

So sad to hear that. Being Episcopal I have not experience that. My parents Love me the way I am too. Love watching you and see you next time.

[@greychua2639]

My parents are JW too and before they have accepted that I'm me, it was very arduous. Even other people were not someone I can trust at the time of my coming out of the closet. It's a long process and in the long run, I became comfortable with my own skin. Hope people nowadays would understand that it's not easy.

[@SebastianCastro]

Grey Chua It sounds like you’ve gone through quite a few hurdles, but I’m happy you made it this far. Kapit lang, Sib.

[@JDZVideos]

Ang fresh ng aura in this new lens 😂 i remembered you talk about intersectionality in the lgbt+ discourse. Really good insights and personal observations.

[@SebastianCastro]

JD Z Awe thanks bud

[@themagickalmermaid]

Bless your beautiful soul!

[@cloudznamvlog5913]

Hi seb!! Naiyak talaga ako dyan seb 😢

[@laarnimorales1825]

What matters is the heart...

[@jebanrelortega5424]

I appreciate your lens...i could appreciate your facial features...😊...youre such a lovely person and a person with a good and genuine heart (i believe)...God bless you in your career...

[@jerleypimentel3293]

I am staying at club paradise here in palawan for another week its amazing place to just chill and relax

[@SebastianCastro]

Jerley Pimentel Enjoy your time there. There are some truly beautiful islands in El Nido and Coron that can certainly feel magical.

[@garygary9310]

I think it's sooooo sad some people can't love who they want no mater the reason gay or straight. One thing I am thankful of is the USA allows gay marriage 👍🏳️‍🌈.. Sebastian can I ask you one question you don't have to answer if it's too personal but just wondered are your parents accepting of you now? They raised an amazing guy that's for sure 😉

[@SebastianCastro]

Gary Gary Well that’s a long story. I guess it depends on how you define acceptance.. On one hand, they’ll probably never go as far as telling me they accept my sexuality on account of their religion. I don’t think they’ll ever meet my future partner either.. On the other hand, my mom and I have gotten close in the last year. She was thinking of separating from my dad and had a little surgery, so I spent a little more time checking up on her this year. And things feel better.. I know i’ve never shown them on the vlog, but I think I might go for it for the first time nex summer when I visit the US.

[@garygary9310]

Sebastian Castro I am glad you are on speaking terms with your mom that’s awesome! You never know what the future will hold for your dad. Thanks 🙏

[@SebastianCastro]

Gary Gary Thanks Gary. It’s a work in progress. I guess a lot of people could say the same of their fam. 😊

[@reyty3938]

I was currently a JW, actually about to go to church now just bumped one of your video to get me here .. really interesting tho i wouldnt really dont categorize myself as bi or gay.

[@julyski6544]

I like the video effect is that all from the lens? Then i want one of those. Lol I need to watch the vids where you talked about your life stories. I feel like i should know you more. Even now di parin ako sure kung may lahi ka ba pnoy... galing kasi magtagalog hahaha

[@SebastianCastro]

[@mauijoymrs2536]

fiiiiirst ❤️❤️❤️ I AM BISEXUAL TOO 🌈💕

[@SebastianCastro]

MauiJoy Mrs Okie first commenter can ask any question

[@mauijoymrs2536]

Paano magtatagal ang isang relasyon kung perahas bisexual at hindi legal?

[@SebastianCastro]

MauiJoy Mrs Well, Amerikano po ako at legal ang same sex marriage sa bansa ko.. but even if I wasn’t, maybe it’s better you think of bisexual/LGBT+ relatioships like any other.. It takes more than a marriage contract to last... Last time I checked, ang daming straight relationships na di rin matatagal.. kahit married sila. There’s always annulments-and just about everwhere in the world-divorce. Every week, there’s a new straight showbiz couple that just broke up.. Some times, one month pa lang.. At the end of a day, I think honesty, mutual respect and understanding does more than a marriage contract ever will.

[@MegaKertz]

Hi Seb, what earphone are you using? hehe :)

[@emmanueljhonmontecino5452]

good job Seb 😊

[@jeiam-leonejavier8916]

Your lens are fine. Actually it looks great

[@do1ph7n16]

Sana nag focus lang more sa message ng ad. This is not just about one sector in society. It tackles hindrances why love/ relationahips don't flourished. Please don't over complicate the message of the ad. In any forms of love, there is always that one social barrier that dictates one's human emotion. So go out there and find LOVE, it's FREE. 💕✌

Gracias Sebastian! Un pequeño paso puede llevar a un cambio gigante en el mundo LGBT y en las vidas de los jóvenes gays. ¡Continúen las buenas intenciones!

[@Jesusmendoza_]

When i came out I came out on fb. And literally nobody gave a damn. Which I guess is better then being hated and rejected.

[@SebastianCastro]

Lauterio LOL You mentioned that you’re based in the US, right? I feel like living in Asia can sometimes feel like a whole different world entirely sometimes. The conservatism is deep rooted in culture and people deeply fear disappointing their elders more than anything else.. But I’m happy things didn’t go south for you.. Cheers

[@Jesusmendoza_]

@@SebastianCastro Thanks also I just watched a trump ad in your video. But in every culture we are raise to obey our elders and to always show them respect especially those from your family. Its always about family honor and not disappointing/disrespecting the family. Honestly all that is over played. Thankfully for us here that has went away some.

[@SebastianCastro]

Lauterio Om Yikes. A Trump TVC?? Shouldn’t I be allowed to turn down select ads on my content? 😅

[@edwrites]

I am fine with or without someone... All I have to say is scientifically speaking I really am curious to see what happens when I die regardless of orientation... I am a lone wolf out of the lgbt since most lgbt folks do not share my same opinions. I acknowledged my attraction in the late 90’s.. I feel old .. that’swhy lgbt this and lgbt that is not even an issue for me- missing children goes through my mind more so than lgbt conflicts

[@Snarly_Marly]

Seb. Luv u but I DONT believe for one bit that u were disowned by your family and the Jehovah Witnesses congregation for being gay!! Being gay is NOT a choice but the gay LIFESTYLE is. God condemns homosexuality(actions/behaviours associated with that lifestyle. ). But at the same time He does NOT condone or encourage the abuse or mistreatments of homosexual people. They r to b treated with utmost dignity and respect just like everyone else. That’s what your Bible teaches!! So somewhere down the road u CHOSE to continue in that lifestyle. They had no choice but to cut u off in order to protect themselves and the congregation from unwholesome influences. It’s like if a person develops gangrene in his/her pert of the body. Unless that section is cut off there’s a high probability the gangrene will spread to the rest of the body resulting in death. If an unrepentant wrongdoer is not removed similarly that wrongdoer’s influence can start to corrupt the loyal members of that congregation. But as far as disowning u is concerned, I feel sure u will b welcomed back with open arms if u want to return. Like the prodigal son in Jesus’s illustration. At least b grateful to God Jehovah for giving us free will. the ability to choose. Wishing u all the best. Much love ❤️. 👌 peace . out.
