[@diegodiaz4217]

This video actually saved my life. After I watched it, it gave me all the courage to come out to my family. Just like Colton says, I feel happier and healthier! I'm lucky enough that my mom and dad accepted me with love and everything is fine now :) To all the queer kids in the closet, come out when you feel completely ready and trust me you won't regret it. If some people aren't ok with it, they were not meant to be in your life. Lots of fantastic and loving people will be in your life soon enough :)

[@user..-.]

Love what you shared❤🌈

[@godsballroom5298]

Thanks, I totally agree. I waited a good 10 years until I was comfortable and that was important to me. I feel happier and more myself.

Out is a political act. He as a famous actor and has a large number of young fans gives a lot of visibility to our community. Congratulations, Colton. You are an example that very gay artist should follow.

[@seese9456]

Awesome acceptance speech, very candid and wise. Hope you become another great role model for LGBT youth. Keep living your truth.

[@iridescentnexus8484]

Andromeda I can't agree more. When he said it wasn't a choice and he was just born with these feelings I cried (because of his beautiful speech) and because of how true that statement is.

[@user..-.]

I'm so grateful there are role models for LGBT YOUTH. ❤

[@TuskTheRipper96]

I am so proud of him. I hope he is happier and continues to find truest joy in life. Bless him. ❤️

[@christopherluvsaidan67]

I love Colton so much i always wished he would come out and he finally did, his smile reminds me of one of my best friends from high school, and I hope he's not taken i wanna be the one to wear the ring. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😛😛😛😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

I really don't understand and find it quite weird that why a homosexual person has to come out , it's his or her own right of sexuality hate all those people who have hate against these people. I salute that every single man and woman who respect and embrace there own sexuality and choices. Hats of to you Colton and many more

[@philipjohnkaye8890]

Because people believe that everyone is straight by default, close minded people.

[@Katie-ez2um]

@@philipjohnkaye8890 My mum literally told me that most of the girls in my all girl school who are gay, lesbian bi etc were just faking it because there was no boys around. It was so insane to hear that I laughed. I understand what you're talking about.

[@eternalgemini]

Because visibility matters, being Gay is OK. That's why ❤️. It's scary to be gay in a straight persons world. I speak from experience. 🏳️‍🌈

[@alexlove9463]

Who watched teen wolf and wished him to come back..???? He was so freaking hot in that show and he still is now.. I love you bae...!!!

Alex Love BUT IM GLAD HES COMING BACK TO TEEN WOLF FOR THE LAST 10EPISODES😂☺️

He's got to be one of the hottest actors I've seen on TV in decades. But more importantly, he's got a heart of gold, and is a great role model for millions of LGBT young people and straight kids too.

[@cheezyfreezy3670]

I couldn't agree more

[@georgewilson9553]

I have gained a whole new level of respect for Colton Haynes. What an example of grace and humility - truly a role model for us all!

[@HandsomeJackoff]

I fucking hate that we live in a society where it's such a big deal if someone is gay. It is a normal thing and people to accept that, but unfortunately we are not living that so thank god for guys like Colton. I love what he stands for and I can't wait for the day where we won't have to see people in pain like this for their sexuality . Also he's a great actor so I hope I can see him more on screen now!!

[@timcotton9874]

I dont think his tears are of his pain but tears because of his liberation. Its really an overwhelming feeling to be free.

[@ТатьянаЛ-й5г]

Зная его историю жизни очень трогательно видеть его искреннюю благодарность за эту награду. Горжусь этим человеком! ❤

[@brandonlurenzo411]

It's so crazy how mean he played in teen wolf, this man is awesome

[@bangboom1625]

Thank god he mentioned bisexuals cause I am bi myself and it's hard I came out when I was 15 to my mum and dad and my dad is a scary male who made me feel like he would of beat me up for telling him but he didn't he loved me anyway and didn't care so I love Colton so much for this🙈

One of my favorite actors of this generation. Such phenomenal talent. It's beautiful to see him getting to be himself and breathe. Such a beautiful soul. I am looking forward to seeing so much more from him. I absolutely adore him. I don't usually keep up with celebrities, but he is definitely one I'll look forward to seeing grow and thrive over the years. Thank you, Colton, for your wisdom, your kindness, your love, your talent, your honor, and your humility. I wish you all the love in the world, a half dozen or more beautiful babies, and a life of love, happiness, and acceptance.
