BUSLIFE to escape my homophobic family

[@sierrakipp]

My heart aches for people that need to escape from family. Family should be the place you are able to escape to 😢

[@anna_cam]

@@oasisofchangeyou don’t know that, you aren’t there when they exchange comments about things like that. if you had watched the video she says rn they have a good relationship but probably just like me it wasn’t always that way. things change over time and people can still have their opposing views and still bond over other things (like she says in the video)

[@amandabillings2517]

Live your life to make you happy. With no regrets. Be safe have a great day

[@PrincessDianaJ]

What a beautiful soul. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm happy that your mother is supporting you nonetheless. My daughter came out to me at a young age. It didn't change a thing between us. I love her no matter what . Family love should be unconditional. Blessings to you and your family. Blessings to the love you found with your girlfriend.

[@Gabrielle499]

You & Tori are kind, beautiful, fun & adventurous travellers, rock climbers, van dwellers and passionate advocates for all animals.❤ That’s what stands out to me. If ignorant, close-minded people can’t see past your sexuality that’s their problem!

[@sarahyak_]

Thank you so much Gabriella 🫶🏽

[@lordhokagay]

@@oasisofchangeit's harmful for you to say she's exaggerating... you have no idea what she goes through and how it affects her. to me it seems like she wanted to keep her peace by creating space, and had the perfect opportunity by staying in her friend's bus.

[@ljpearce5875]

Your van is awesome, your doggo is beautiful, your spirit is beautiful and you are worthy. I am so sad that your family is caught in their homophobic belief system. You deserve total love and acceptance. Love is love 💜

[@BobBohner4851]

I’m so sorry you have so much negativity from family. I wish they could be as open as you are to accept people for who they are and love them. I understand once you said they are engineers. They tend to be rigid thinkers, there’s only one way. But it’s just not true. Do what you need to be happy. If their inflexibility means they are cut out from your life it’s their problem to conquer. God bless and a thousand hugs

[@newfoundvegan]

Sending so much love back! Sucks that today people still hold onto those negative beliefs. You are so strong!

[@Ciaran_Connell]

I’m sorry. Family should always be there for each other, no matter what. You are such a wonderful person, and you don’t deserve to have a shitty family like that. And they definitely don’t deserve someone as amazing and kind as you.

[@npb.spectrum]

I love how you just burned away the neg comments! Also awesome work setting boundaries, it took me way too long to learn that with my family but we got there.

[@sarahyak_]

Nick!! 🫶🏽 I miss you so much. You should watch my last video about moving into a bus to see your artwork featured 👀

[@user-dr2js7bv2i]

I think it's admirable to come out honestly. I'm 71 and when I was young, Most people I knew were in the closet. It made things so much harder for everyone. I'm sure I had at least 3 people in my extended family who were closer gays. It was never spoken about. Even after my cousin moved to San Francisco and after many years died from AIDS! We never spoke about it, only my sister and I did. Horrible, we knew him all our lives. Anyway, God bless you Sara, it's nice that you are trying with your family.

[@AlyssaVanilla]

Not much I could add that hasn’t already been said but you’re a beautiful soul & im sending so much love to you ❤

[@Kimberley_Black_White_TV]

Just because someone is family, does not mean you have to have a relationship with them. Much love and peace to you and Tori. xo

Why do people look and think like that. Your a wonderful person and your love or lovers is your choice keep it the way you want 🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼

​@@sarahyak_ keep your sexual orientation to yourself. It's only lgbtqxyz people who feel you need to press who you have sex with on everyone when people just want to see van life stuff. I'm blocking your channel don't wanna hear it.

[@LowLightMike]

This is such an effective and powerful video, with the way that you've shared your story and experience in way that is interwoven with those lovely bus-life scenes. Bravo !

[@abbigailclay4116]

I am sorry to hear about the situation with your family. Please remember that you should never have to change who you are to please them. I am glad you have decided to live your life in a way that makes you happy. Often, people get trapped in traditional corporate jobs or high stress and become miserable. Your channel inspires me because I admire your courage, self-reliance, and intelligence. I hope your family will find the strength to accept you for who you are and be happy because you are a wonderful daughter. 💙💙💙💙

[@89sigma43]

Sarah, I hope one day in the future, your family will accept you for who you are. I really believe that we should be treated as equals.

[@sophiemarcaurele]

Thank you for holding a space for all the other souls going through a similar situation whilst standing up for, and healing, yourself. You are beautiful inside and out, you have so much to contribute to this world, and deserve all the love and respect in return, just as you are! Can't wait for many more creative videos, you're a natural story teller and you have the presence and soothing voice for it ❤❤❤

[@Gail-gf7km]

It takes more than DNA to make family. Family are the people who you can count on to love, accept, and support you no matter what. They can be genetically related or not.

[@MapleLeaf_Citizen]

I appreciate your courage in sharing your story

[@notholli]

I live in Texas and too am a lesbian and I understand the homophobia from my parents and other people. glad to know someone understands!

[@michaelmcanally2406]

Who you love isn't anybody's business. Im a straight white male who has several gay friends. Gay people aren't any different than anybody else. They have the same issues with paying rent and just surviving in this world. we need to accept people for who they are and be happy that you have really cool people in your life.

[@torielizabethprince]

Beautiful video Sarah, love you so much. ❤️

[@sarahyak_]

Love you babe ❤️

[@PotterPalace509]

HI Sarah ~ I found you through Maddie and I just wanted to say heeeeeey!!! my heart goes out to you about your family being homophobic! Our son came out to us when he was 14 and we were like well maybe you're confused (we've always been a really open household and non judgement) but then when he was 18 he came out again as def I'm gay!! and I said "well I still love you the same what do you want for dinner?" I'm not religious but spiritual and it's really sad to hear about how GOD doesn't make mistakes but yet gay people are mistakes broken not normal Yada yada yada! There is nothing wrong with you and I'm sure rationally you know this but to have your family tell you that you are sinful by just loving who you do is so wrong!!! so I'm sending you out some love and light! accepting people where they are and loving them is some very hard work my friend! Bless you for doing the work!!!

[@authordanigray]

When our son came out to my husband and I, I told him he had one rule. His boyfriend wasn't allowed to be cuter than my husband. We told him we didn't care who he loved...man, woman, pink and purple polka dotted alien, it didn't matter. All we wanted for him was for him was to be in a healthy and loving relationship. Now, I'm retired on disability and write gay romances, and my son edits them for me!

[@reaux3921]

[@reaux3921]

Poor son, his mom s*6ualises his relationships with men and writes about it.

[@susandean8584]

My heart breaks for you. Our families should be our refuge from all that is bad in the world. I have a daughter about your age. She’s not gay (well, I don’t think she is😂) but honestly I couldn’t care less if she is or not. What is more important than who she loves is that she has the capacity to love. I think you are a beautiful, wise, compassionate soul. If you were my daughter I would be so proud to shout it to the world.

[@susandean8584]

@@oasisofchange it is not possible to say that she is exaggerating for views. You do not live with her and you don’t personally know her family. She has been very open about the fact that her family has helper her in many ways and has said that she so grateful for that. Families can often be double edged swords-they can be blessings and at the same time can be problematic. Homophobia is never acceptable even if it comes from family members who can also be supportive and helpful at times.

[@lukeoz11]

So sorry to hear Sarah! Keep your head up keep inspiring love keeping up with your content ❤ from Sydney Aus

Living away from family is necessary if it keeps you happy and safe. Started my fukuoka time van life in August. Winter's not so bad in Florida. And I get all these rockets being launched from the cape.

[@rasheedkesington7506]

This is the problem I have because your family does not accept your life style that does not make them homophobic

[@robertallen6028]

i can really understand the issue with your family. i feel like the odd man out because i could never turn my back on my daughter no matter what. my family would have dropped me like a hot potato if i were gay. i think too many families, especially parents feel like their children are letting them down if they don't live exactly like they do and believe what they do. it's their problem not yours.

I find it interesting that you think engineers are not creative. I wish I could be as creative as my partner who is a mechanical engineer, he can design and build the most incredible machines and can do the most impressive finishing carpentry work because he can do the complex math that I am unable to do. I on the other hand have an eye for color, spatial visualization and interior design. Together we make an excellent team when we renovate homes.

[@whochecksthis]

My family isn’t exactly homophobic, but they can be unwelcoming… my youngest child is trans, and my oldest is basically bi. She’s hard to pin down on it, but I love them both unconditionally. I hope you stay happy, and healthy. I think having to deal with it from family is the worst. Keep in mind, family will ALWAYS think their opinions about your life are helping. Even criticisms. I KNOW it can be hard, but remember, they are not in your life. They are COMPARING what they hear about you with their experiences and comprehension. Hopefully, they love you, and the arguments are with love.
