[@debbiebeveridge3237]

I remember how hard this was for you. I wanted so badly to help you work through this in the best possible way. Your sorority friends were so cool about it when you shared that with them. I think knowing you had your family and your sorority friends to support you was a big turning point for you. Love you so much!

[@rosemcesw]

my sorority advisor got married to her wife while i was still in my collegiate chapter and just knowing that there was someone else who had been in my sorority was also into girls and everyone was super okay with it and more than anything she was HAPPY, it was the most reassuring thing ever

[@maddyschuering9982]

Everything she is saying is so incredibly real and true and I couldn't be prouder to watch someone so strong and proud of who she is!!!! I love you Shan!

[@valoriharris1682]

I'm Gay and work at Chick fil a which is basically the hetero normal, religious sorority

[@chloweful]

Valori Harris How so?

[@valoriharris1682]

It's run by Christians, many of the employees are straight, and most Chick film a's used to refuse service to those of the LGBT community.

[@maddyschuering9982]

Almost stopped eating here bc of this but damn it its so good

[@valoriharris1682]

Maddy Schuering Try working there. I swear to God, they're trying to lure me with free nuggets. I mean it's working, but still.

[@maddyschuering9982]

Ugh see like free nuggets are so hard to say no to. I thought about working there once and ehhh lol

me: realizes cousin was in tri-delta with Shannon also me: realizes homophobic cousin probably said stuff to Shannon still me: is gay cries

[@ayanas9892]

No way! Really! Your cuz is sooo lucky haha

[@privcraft_]

@@ayanas9892 you completely missed the whole point of the comment. The cousin was homophobic and was probably a bully

[@andreagracia2060]

Honestly Shan, I started watching your videos when i was in high school and once I came to college I decided that I wanted to be in a sorority and eventually decided to go TriDelta. I later found out that you were a Tridelta too (and i was obvi very happy). But I just wanted to say that I'm sorry you felt the way you felt while you were in the chapter, but for everyone that is reading this and wants to go greek and is super duper gay (like me). Being in a sorority was probably one of the best choices that I could've made while being in college, I came out to all of my sisters and everyone was so supportive and loving and I literally could've never found a better support system than them. We all have very different experiences so don't feel discouraged if you feel like you won't be accepted. Just be genuine and be yourself and the right people will be in your life because of it. LOL thats all of my rant. BBPB

[@rosaagersnapbone1313]

this is amazing

[@valoriharris1682]

Andrea Gracia ❤❤❤❤❤

[@KatsonProd]

So I was in a high school soro, and I came out and it was hard for me. Especially because the advisor over us was calling me all types of awful things and girls who I was friends with stopped talking to me... it made me question joining in college, but after reading this, and hearing Shannon's story I'm deciding to just go for it, because if I don't I'll regret it.

[@alliejohnson8983]

[@megcreates848]

Her voice seemed to crack a lot and it seemed like she was really emotional through this whole video it made me emotional. Shannon we all love you and you help me be proud to be who I am, so thank you for that ❤️

[@user-ek3wn7ho3x]

Can i just say that i appreciate what a wonderful human being you are, and how i don't even know you, but in 8 minutes you are able to bring a smile to my face? Love you shannon ❤️

[@jenna5550]

I almost started crying when she told about her friends being homophobic, because I'm in that situation right now, and it's so hard when i hear homophobic stuff from the ones that are closest to me and the most important to me. Makes me feel even more scared about coming out and being open about my sexuality, and i think about that so much and i get anxiety from it and it's just destroying me.

[@Feliciaeclipsed]

Harry is not on fire start with one friend, like she did. I had the same issue growing up. You aren't alone. Don't allow those thoughts to destroy you, because I assure you there are allies who are your friends. You just don't know it yet. Chin up.

[@hideyable]

Good luck Harry. Try to remember that even if it doesn't go well when you tell them or you're not able to find the courage whilst you're at school, it does get better.

[@aliciaswift24]

Harry you should tell them it may just make them think before they speak.

[@mayra2651]

Enduring the mockery of homophobia when you do not have confidence is what makes you brave.

[@tennisbaby2528]

Shannon is so gorgeous. I love that shirt color!

[@StaceyStaser]

Clairexoelise do you know where the shirt is from?:00 :))

[@NicoleByron]

I need a shirt that color for real lol

[@fallendaniii]

One day I will come out and I will show Shannon's videos to my mom and tell her "look, she gave me strength when i couldn't come to you because i was too scared thinking that you will hate me for the things you used to say"

[@kibonill]

lilcreampuff sending good vibes your way. You're not alone. ❤️

[@emmapatawaran8143]

That was a good speech

[@lordgrimm5087]

I can feel you. I too have no courage to come out to my family because they said a lot of things against us lgbtq people. it's painful, sad and lonely. So I decided to come out outright to my new friends I met in my post-grad college so that I don't have to pretend in front of them about my sexuality. They say it's fine but they sometimes makes comments (before) that you normally would not make infront of your lgbtq+ friend, which makes me sad.

[@NiamhRivers]

i answered the phone the other day by saying DELTA DELTA DELTA CAN I HELP YA HELP YA HELP YA............ thats how sad my life is

[@itsmeduh4771]

Lololololololol

[@livetodance1995]

fun story so today i was in class and the girl next to me was really cute and i was wondering if she was gay SO i casually opened my iPad that has a StillSane/Shannon screensaver on it so that she would see it (cause obviously a 20-year-old lesbian would know who Shannon is) and i just continued to take notes AND THEN SHE TALKED TO ME and NOW WE'RE LAB PARTNERS she gay

[@hannahpoole9929]

Videos from you and the roses are what is going to keep me sane during finals week, especially the ones where u drag each other 👌🏼

[@Adelaideee10]

I completely agree, some people (everyone basically) says things they don't even mean, but it comes from being ignorant, and sometimes it takes someone you personally know being gay, trans, or whatever else to allow others to understand how their comments could be hurtful and harmful to those around them.

[@debbiebeveridge3237]

This is so true.

[@Adelaideee10]

I feel like in some cases, people who are homophobic usually are the ones who are homosexual but are simply homophobic because they are taught that their feelings are "wrong". So that makes complete sense

[@hopeschulman2433]

Love that you have been posting super consistently!

[@kaylaboxer6580]

I'm currently at the University of Oklahoma and toured the school today. I had you in mind the whole time and this video just helped me so much and my outlook on the whole college situation. thank you so much Shan for adding guidance to situations that I would not be able to navigate otherwise!❤️❤️

"It's not all rainbows and butterflies, it was.... helicopter". Quote of the day.

[@AeroAsh87]

I'm a freshman in college and am in a sorority AND have a girlfriend and I totally feel this vid!!! Lil different cause I have pics of us on my insta and stuff like that so it's definitely not a secret but I seem to always experience the whole "wondering if this girl in my sorority I'm having a conversation with rn knows about my girlfriend yet or not" and it can just be WEIRD. However, I've already met my best friend through the sorority and it really does get easier and easier as you talk to more and more of the girls on a more personal level. Loved this vid!!!

[@CaitlynMurray]

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I'm in a sorority now and this is the exact struggle I'm going through. It's nice to know I'm not alone and that there's a light at the end of the tunnel - or closet!

[@brunacorrea4829]

My experience is so similar. Also in Tridelt in the south and I remember feeling so lonely for such a long time. It was devastating. You just try to fit in and be like the other girls and you can't. But same - people surprised me so much after I came out. It's really not that big of a deal. We make up so many terrible scenarios in our heads that we shouldn't. And after you come out other people start becoming more comfortable coming out too. It's incredible. We are never alone and it's great to have these stories shared. Thanks tridelt and thanks Shannon ❤

[@arthurgearheard4701]

One of these comments said that the Chapter at the University of Wisconsin has a lotta Lesbians!

I love how honest Shannon has been in recent videos. And specially how confident she is. Like the first videos after she broke up with Cammie were painful you could literally see how she was so used to do videos with Cammie. But now she's back and she's more amazing and inspiring than ever sdfghjk Shannon if you're reading this I love you and I'm so proud of you.

[@sarahvandeventer6430]

I relate soooooo much to this! I'm from Omaha, NE which is fairly liberal as a city, but the majority of the state is highly conservative. Going to a smaller town for college, I too joined a sorority to "act straight". Being in the sorority was a great experience and I still have friends for life I see regularly. I realized though that I was being fake and had this heavy burden and growing confidence, and one weekend trip up to a cabin I finally told a handful of my sisters. Everything just became so much easier after that. My sisters and friends became my allies and defenders to anyone who tried to shame me. Not going to lie there were a few religious/conservative girls in the house and at first treated me different, but I realized they were from really small towns and had never had a gay friend before. They all came around after a while and it was a good teaching opportunity in how to be an ally for the LGBTQ+ community. Several have actually tried setting me up with girls since then lol. It does get better! :)

i love how real this is, you keep it so true and real to how it had happened and how you got out of such a strange mental state. this gives so much perspective on the concept of overthinking in these sorts of situations, gay shan is the best shan, happy, bubbly and so knowledgeable!

[@LBI95]

Wish I could give this video 100K thumbs up, I don't normally comment on videos but watching the sadness on your face and in your eyes when you're talking about the bad parts breaks my heart. Especially having been in a sorority just 2 years ago and knowing there are a handful of girls out in my own chapter and in other sororities as well as fraternities at the school I went to in Florida. It definitely can be a super hetero intense environment but fortunately also a super supportive one when you find the right people. I'm glad the world is starting to be more open and I'm SO glad there's people like you who are making such a positive impact and helping so many people in their lives to feel comfortable in themselves and know they are not alone. I know most of these videos is targeted to a more LGBTQ+ audience but I think everyone can grow and learn from these videos, especially about being open-minded and more aware (I know it has for me). Just seeing such a genuine, kind-hearted human being put themselves out there gay or not is amazing! I'm so glad I found this channel a couple months ago because I love watching your videos!! Go Shannon go 🙌🏼

What a beautiful and incredibly important video. Shannon, I promise you are helping to save lives by sharing your experiences and by normalizing being gay. You should be very proud of yourself and the things you've accomplished. Your videos don't only help the younger crowd. I am 37 and learn good lessons from you and gain confidence in myself because of you too.

[@shannnonrae]

i'm gay and in a sorority. i'm partially back in the closet because i'm terrified of people finding out, especially living in an extremely religious part of utah. (i think i get asked "do you have a boyfriend?" at least once a day) thank you for speaking up about this. i'm not sure if i'm ready to be open with these girls yet but i'll think about this every time i'm scared a sister will reject me.

[@dontgowiththeflow5005]

I can honestly say that on KZbin you are one of the few people I actually enjoy listening to because you always have something interesting or helping to say. One year ago I came out to my family, some of my closest friends already knew but even now I feel like I am still in the closet because my family doesn't accept me and I can't share with them anything about my relationship. So, thank you for giving me some hope and not making me feel alone.

[@itsavibe14]

As an out, gay woman in a sorority on a campus with a large Greek community I have been so lucky with the girls in my chapter. They have been so accepting and loving about who I love and they love me unconditionally. I was so worried that I would have a similar experience as Shannon and I respect her so much for her strength of character. Keep being a badass, Shannon.

[@brittanyb8232]

Being that I'm in such a similar situation right now in college, this was exactly the video I needed. It's so insanely reassuring to hear someone else say the exact things I feel on a day to day basis. It's even more amazing to see how much better it gets and how strong and confident and comfortable someone can become after going through the same hard times I'm going through right now. It really gives me hope for the future. Thank you Shannon for somehow always being the place I can come to when I need to know that I'm not alone. You really have such a huge impact on so many people through what you do and the voice you have on this platform, and it's really inspiring.

[@amillionbees]

The struggle of wanting and trying to be like all the straights around you. So relatable. And the fear of what they'll think of you if they find out. And the loneliness of it all! So relatable! Sororities aren't a thing in New Zealand, but I have a lot of similar experiences to how you felt there. The loneliness of being gay is something that doesn't get talked about much, and it should.

[@courtneyhorree5064]

[@mariahreyes8526]

Can I just say how amazing shan is? She's what we all closeted people needs. I'm from Philippines and it's sooo hard living in a religious country but, somehow shan made me realize that I should not give f on what others would think or say, that it'll get better in time. love you shan! so proud of you

[@user-wl4ue6sx4o]

Shannon, I just love you so much, man. Can't tell you how refreshing your discomfort in front of the camera is, which may sound like a bit of an insult, but it really isn't. You'll find what you're looking for soon enough. (whatever the absolute fuck that means)

[@lorenasantana2952]

It's awesome the way you let people know that they're not alone. Each time you do a video like this one, I feel like there's nothing to worry about. Being gay can make you feel very very lonely sometimes but there are people like you who remember us that we're not alone anymore. Thank you 🌈

[@SadieLadie44]

I literally refused to acknowledge being gay until I found Shan because I was so used to stereotypes and the hateful beliefs and I knew I wasn't those things. Shan made me realize being gay was beautiful and that being myself is the best thing I can do for myself. I could never thank her enough.

[@ipshita154]

I'm from a South Asian Muslim country where homosexuality is punishable by law. And I know that for me things are never going to get better. The scared girl you were in college, THAT IS ME, and I'm going to be that girl forever. But you still make me feel better and I love you for that.

[@gabrielsykes7298]

It gives me a relief knowing that there are people like me, that likes the same things and I'm not alone. Watching your videos made me realize that, honestly, i don't need to be embarrased of who I am and what I like. I feel everyday more powerful, more proud of me and what I like. Even tho that my parents don't like this and don't support me at being gay, i'm feeling super cool. Because I have friends, and I have people who love me no matter what and since I saw your videos I started to grow up a little more, and start to love myself by the way I am. Your coming out process helped me to come out to one member of my family,we're so close and I didn't wanted to feel rejected but he supported me and didn't judged me, because in fact, he is gay. So, thank you so much Shannon, for existing. ❤️❤️

[@Sarashh99]

shannon you're an angel!!

[@lustekofta6945]

You truly seem wonderful, Shannon! These days where it's cool to be all cold and dismissive, you do the opposite and open your arms and embrace everyone, AND you're helping others by showing that it's okay let your vulnerability show. Thank you for that.

[@yoyajudith]

They say that 1 out of 10 people are gay. It's very likely that you were not the only gay girl in your sorority. There's probably some out there that haven't come out yet, or might never do it. You're a strong woman for having the courage to accept yourself.

[@arthurgearheard4701]

That's probably a similar situation in Fraternities, too!

[@squishey00]

As a recent tri delta alum from a small private Indiana college, this makes my heart so happy! I too struggled to come out for awhile because of fear and the idea of judgement from my sisters. However, like you, my sisters were overwhelming accepting and loved me even more for being my real and much happier self! Glad to know that across the country, tri deltas are sticking to their values 😊 DLAM Shan!

[@felecia7622]

Shannon uploaded a vid??? *pauses life* *watch video a thousand times* >.

[@ariannawestley]

It makes my heart so happy that you posted this video! I joined Tri Sigma & my sisters were so supportive when I told them I had started dating my current girlfriend. I would really hate to see someone miss out on the opportunities within Greek life just because they're scared of their brothers/sisters finding out that they're gay. It's a fairly common thing at my school and I just want everyone to know that it's okay to be gay and take part in Greek life!

[@alexp5743]

[@TinaMey]

Shannon, you're one of two people who helped me coming out to my family and feeling comfortable being gay. It was years ago when I found your coming out video and then joined tumblr, just to "stay in touch" - I think even messaged you back then. Anyway. Seeing how you came out and managed all this emotionally, although you were so scared. But you getting such a loving feedback from your surrounding made me realise, that those who won't accept me being gay don't deserve a playce in my life. Luckily, my family took it very well and even better, all my friends were happy that I shared this part of me with them. I'm lucky to have such a tolerant and loving surrounding and I just hope that every kid who comes out gets hugs and laughs and smiles and happiness. Because everybody deserves to be loved and accepted just the way they are. Thank you Shannon for being an amazing role model and helping people to feel just good with who they are. ♥

[@extra8737]

I soooo wish that I had found this video sooner. I have never related more to a video. I still struggle to accept myself as a queer teenager since I was raised in a very religious family. You guys don't know how hard I've tried to "pray the gay away" or just tried to pretend like I was straight. I hope that one day I'll be able to be happy with myself and accept myself for who I am. Thank you so so much for making this video. I just cannot express in words how much I needed THIS.

[@gabzmelbritz]

I just want Shannon to sit and chat with me and say stuff like this. It feels like she's talking to me. Talk about BAEEEE.

[@racheljorgensen319]

The part where Shannon discussed hearing homophobic things from family and friends while in the closet and feeling lonely, I relate so much. My whole family besides dad and stepdad are SUPER religious and homophobic. My sister will befriend gay people and tell us about "fixing them", my mom will compare it to beastiality. I've felt so alone at times that I've almost taken an attempt to escape my life the only way I knew how. But through videos like this and support from friends, I came out to my dad a couple months ago and he is going to help me come out and recover from the backlash I will get from my family. Thank you Shannon for being such an inspiration, I can honestly say you've saved my life

[@michaelrunk8593]

I'm curious have you ever tried sit down just asking them a hypitatical question. Just say "Hey Mom, Dad hypothetically if I was gay how would you feel?" Then you could get a good sense of how they would react. If they have a positive reaction then you know that you can tell them and they will accept you. If they have negative reaction then there not ready and you can just say it was only hypothetical quest and you can hold on to your secret for a while longer.

[@beccaneu146]

Preface: Was not in a sorority, but as an undergrad at the Univeristy of Texas (albeit a bit more liberal than OU), I can relate to this. All throughout college I lived with my very best friends (all female). I was so scared that I was gay. I went through that loneliness that you felt and thought the only way I cloud live was to just be single forever. So thankful for yourself and others out there in the media giving people an identity. Growing up in Dallas, TX I never saw myself in the media or anywhere for that matter. In high school I was on homecoming court, a part of student council..blah blah blah. So I couldn't be gay, right? Because if you were gay, you were also a member of every other subculture displayed on tv. And that wasn't me. So again, thank you a million times over. Most of all your videos resonate with me, but this one hit home.

Your story is such an inspiration to so many people. You've been a big part of the reason that I've become so comfortable with being gay myself and I am so thankful that you share everything that you do with all of us. You're awesome❤️

Omg I love how awkward you are Shannon, in a good way😂 I'm going away to uni next year and I'm living in an all girls rez cause my mom made me & im like hellll yaaaaaaa *is closeted* BUT THANK U FOR MAKING EVERYTHING SEEM LIKE IT WILL BE OK IN UNI (I'm so scared omg)

[@moltenkitty7157]

Menley Langham It'll be okay and you'll do amazing I'm sure :) I can't wait to go to uni/college cuz i know half if not all of my family will never accept me being gay either, so I can't wait to get out there and just be myself. Anyway, believe in yourself! I'm rooting for you from here 💜

I'm not in a sorority but I'm in an honorary system at my school and at first I was scared to come out but everyone has been so encouraging and welcoming, and some of my really good friends who are in sororities have been a huge support, so even though our experiences are not the same I really appreciate you telling your story!

I can understand where you are coming from so much. I am in a sorority down here at a Texas university and the heteronormativity is overwhelming sometimes. Some of the girls know, but a lot of them don't, because a girl who likes girls is not common or expected in a sorority. So glad to know I'm not alone. ❤️❤️

never been so early for a video😊😘 love you to the moon and back

[@captainlou9677]

I'm sorry that you had to go through that. But it's good to see you are able to talk about it. And it's great that you have found yourself. Keep moving on towards this path of self love.

Aw I really wanna hug you right now 💓

[@relynne374]

I can relate to this video so much! I was in the closet for about five years and one night I got really drunk and told a few of my sorority sisters and they have been nothing, but supportive! They've helped me come out to the rest of my friends and family. I've never been happier!

HEYY I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH AND I HOPE YOU KEEP MAKE FABULOUS VIDEOS!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@paigefrank737]

the end of the video made me cry when you said that everything will be ok and that I'm not alone because that's exactly how I feel. alone. My only gay friend lives in Australia while I live in Houston, Tx so it's hard when I need someone right then and there yaknow. But thanks Shannon. you really know how to lift up a girls spirit 😁
