COMING OUT STORY: I’m Gay

[@johnchukwu2697]

"Please make sure you're happy" was the last thing my mum said to me before she passed away. It's a heart-wrenching journey, but God is faithful

[@megindenver]

Oh my dear Solomon. Your tears and tenderness touches my memories, both painful and good. My mom and great grandma ❤. There is nothing like seeing your momma cry. Thank you for sharing your story and your heart and your tender tears. Luv you brother. Lots.

[@michaelreid7065]

This is the best coming out story because you could feel the realness in it. Eloquent young man. Keep you head up. God is with you always.

[@aloquicious]

If you were my son,I would be beaming with pride. For despite your own personal challenges and the challenges your family put you through, you remain so loyal and loving to them. They named you Solomon because they knew you would be wise but they could have also named Alexander because you truly are great.

[@jonahansen]

This is the most genuine guy and story I've ever seen! Solomon, you are well-spoken and empathetic. You deserve a great life and I'm sure you will make it so.

[@marcoscabrera7264]

Solomon you are nice guy your coming out story is so touching. I am a 52 gay Mexican male . Keep up inspiring people , i went thru something the same as you did when i first came out . God Bless you

[@williammorrissey444]

You are well spoken and a beautiful person, love.

[@audrasuperville-hartwig9680]

Tell ur parents no one does want to be gay no one

[@MarkJohnson-gf9nv]

So Solomon I listened to your story again. You are a strong young man. I am like over 65 and I learned a lot from you. I would love to talk with you. I hope you are happy now.

[@billyflood2430]

I think you hit the nail on the head. Our parents and grandparents know how hard it is to JUST BE BLACK. They think to add GAY to it also is just one more thing to be hated by. But we are who we are. Much love to you my brother. I hope you are thriving now. Bless your grandmother!

[@keith.anthony.infinity.h]

Thank you for being honest and real instead of going on to continue hiding from reality or living in a lie because that is what so many people want us to do in order to fit their narrative of how sexuality and romance should be.

[@hillarykaelomolebatsi4783]

Dont cry 😭😭😭, sending hugs and I hope you and your family are okay now or atleast respectful. People say a lot when they are shocked and it sometimes takes a bit of time for them to come around. So don’t think one day you will not be with your bf at thanksgiving giving 🫂. How much time has passed since your coming out?

[@jeffbocock9391]

I just saw your story. My heart goes out to you and I felt your pain. You are an incredible, strong, intelligent and handsome man. You are so special.......You are loved. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@willcarruth3951]

Soloman, I’m so proud of you! You’re so right; there is nothing worse then feeling like someone who loves you, is ashamed of you. Be you and be strong. They will adjust to a new normal relationship with you as long as you stand strong in who you are. You don’t know me but I love you and support you because you’re a beautiful soul. I’m counting on you to achieve every goal your heart desires. You can win; why? Because you’re a winner!! Your parents love you, they just need time to process. When they come to realize you’re your happiest when being you, they will adjust. They want to know you’re ok and sure within yourself.

[@billTO]

It's 2024 now and I'm 80. 🥺 You're a really exceptional young man, Solomon, in every way. I'm sure you'll do well and be happy in life. You deserve it! I'm wondering if anyone could explain to me why so many black ppl are so homophobic. I have some ideas, but I'd like to hear from others. It's even worse in the Caribbean and Africa.

[@danielschley5683]

Solomon that was so beautiful...and courageous...you made me smile inside ..you portrayed a strong black man that you are so very well...love u Somon.

[@MichaelSPhelps]

With this video being about 2 years old, I don't know if you will ever see this comment. But if you do, I wanted to let you know that by allowing yourself to be so forthright and vulnerable in the way you did touched me deeply. You have helped me strengthened me on my own road toward healing. And for that, I owe you a serious debt of gratitude. Thank you, Solomon.

[@alberdehaas9858]

Solomon. Thank you for sharing your story. To many times parents make it about themselfs not realizing that there child has lived in pain for many years. You are a very beautiful gay man. I am a 73year old gay man married to dennis for many years now. Canada has legal marrage for MANY years now. I wish you peace and happynes and hope you find the love of your life. I adore your grandmother that is how a parent should react . Many hugs to you, I know you came out on youtube in 2018 and i would love to know how you are 4 yeras later. Love you lots . Alber

[@okimlistening2u]

Hey buddy, just found you and subbed. This video was from 4 years ago, so I hope things have gone well for you. You are the genuine young man that I identify with after teaching and counseling over 7000 of you guys. This video will help save lives.......thank you for making it. Your wisdom fits your name Solomon. Thank you and God bless........Ray

[@Timoofthee]

You are a gentle guy with a good heart. Do not feel guilty about who you are. Bless you.

[@charleswhitson2838]

Solomon celebrate your being unique.you are a beautiful person I've struggled with these issues 64 years.keep your head up .

[@rickymrewa2590]

Hello Solomon . I dont know if you still have this channel or even access it . I am 56 years old an.d listening to your video made me cry. I have seen a lot of videos and this really touched my heart. God loves you and I know for sure that you are doing well. Time is the best healer and I am sure by now judging from when you did the video - you are on another level. Well done

[@thamimaluki7586]

Hi Ricky. I am 54, lonely, in the closet, scared to hurt family even though I know they now suspect. I am inspired by Solomon's courage and openness. Thanks Solomon. From South Africa.👍👍👍👍

[@herbprice7286]

Would’ve found touching story it brought tears to my eyes and reminds me so much of myself. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you much love❤

[@lynnhoffman90]

To thine own self be true. God gas made us special. Celebrate your special uniqueness.

[@keithkennard6398]

What a beautiful story . Just know that we are here for u ❤

[@dontemannings5336]

Thank you ever so much for sharing your story. It makes me even stronger. I hope you are doing well now bro. Much love from N.Y.C

[@michaelbailey3299]

Stay strong my brother, in times things will get better. Stay focus on the blessings on the Lord. He's my only hope.

[@sefthunter5412]

Thanks for sharing this and your willingness to be honest and open.

[@DearGodHaveMercy]

Solomon, you are not only a true authentic gay person, but you're a true human being and a role model for so many on how to just be a good decent human being. This is the kind of person that I am too. Sometimes I feel like I'm so alone in being a good natured person, but seeing someone like you reminds me that there really are other good souls out there. Thank you so much for being so brave and sharing your story. I felt that story about your grandma. I felt that deeply and can clearly see that you thank God for her. I'm watching this video 5 years after you posted it, but that just goes to show you that when you recorded it, you probably didn't realize that it would really keep on touching people for years to come. You're amazing. Don't ever forget that! God bless you and God bless all of us!

[@mikeycbaby]

Your story touched my heart in 17 places. When you got to the part about your grandmother, I couldn’t hold back the tears. 😭 ❤

[@lynnhoffman90]

You are special & a lovely person. Be who you are. Time & space cures all. God lives you as his special child.

[@johnnyohness]

Dear Solomon Just found your channel and went through a whole box of Kleenex listening to it. This post is 5 years old now and you must be near 21. I know you are living a much better life now and pray your family has grown up and become more educated. Your parents knew you were gay way back before they asked you about it. When you admitted it and they went to pieces, I wonder what they would have replied if you had said, would you rather have had me lie to you and not admit it? You know Mom and Dad some kids that are rejected and scorned for who they are either leave and never come home ever again, or their parents find them dead in a closet with an apology note for not being able to be exactly who they were expected to be. I hope your parents and family have seen this heartfelt video and understand the pain they put you through. I lost 20 years of contact with my parents because they couldn't understand. But that was a long time ago. People have no excuse not to be far more educated now than they were then. I hope they love and appreciate you for who you are now and "they" have grown up. Take care.

[@MarkJohnson-gf9nv]

This was a beautiful story. Best of luck to you Solomon.

[@josephmoss503]

Thank you for sharing your experience. It was well spoken, beautiful and from the heart. I believe it is and will be an inspiration for so many others. Sincerely, thank you.

[@paddylinehan8559]

Lovely man, lovely soul. Bless you.

[@colljohn97]

Beautifully told. Thanks for sharing. You’re a beautiful person.

[@1426Decatur]

Oh Solomon! What a beautiful story. But I have to admit… you made me cry big crocodile tears. My best to you.

[@edwardcrespo768]

I feel your pain that you went through. Keep your head high. God bless you 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽💖

[@younglover919]

I just came across your post. I am a little surprised that I didn't see it before, and I am not sure if your site is still active. i am hoping that it is. Your are a great young man in every aspect - good looking, intelligent and obviously take very good care of himself. I guess by now you have completed your university training and I wish you all the success. You are so right - everybody deserves to be happy, including you. I think you are now happier although the memories make you still very emotional. Make sure you find someone who appreciates the wonderful person that you are, treat you with the respect you deserve and provider you with the depth of unconditional love that you have to give. Keep loving yourself. Love you Solomon.

[@hollylewis2475]

Solomon, bless you for handling things so well, thanks for sharing your story

[@kelvinbrent]

Thank You Solomon, Imagine being Black, Gay & Metaphysically Incline, Now You're Even More Of a Outsider. Perhaps This Is Indeed All A Part Of Our Spiritual Evolution & Ascension. We Are All Here On The Earth Plane To Evolve And This Is All Apart Of Our Evolutionary Process. Beautiful Entity You're Prefect Expression Of Divinity!!!!

[@andre8905]

Such a beautifully told story. Best wishes!

[@michaelpickard1529]

I like your coming out story I think you are a great person and beautiful too.

[@everretchancellor2243]

Such an awesome story. Hopefully it transitions people to realize that shaming someone to be who you want them to be is never healthy for anyone. We will hurt on the inside although we may not say a word. So very proud of you for having that courage to acknowledge how you truly felt and not tuck that away to satisfy your parents or anyone. We all have but there does come a time when you feel like I've had enough. Some may not ever come to that moment. But for me I'd rather live in truth knowing that I'm happy healthy and making the best of these moments that aren't forever or guaranteed to us. Love you guy stay strong. Much love and success to you. You're gonna make it after all❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🌈🌈🌈🌈

[@emmaleanna8184]

ur story brought me to tears but helped me realize so mch thank you I needed this

[@jameshendrix8200]

Solomon, please be proud of yourself. You are an intelligent and strong person. I wish parents would think more progressively and be open to differences in people. It can be difficult if you do not have supportive and caring relatives and friends, so seek out open-minded teachers and professional counselors who can provide the emotional balance you need. You are a great human being who has much to offer the world.

You are a hottie 🔥 Thanks for your coming-out story. Hopefully, this helps others. Live your life, follow your dreams. Wishing you nothing but peace, prosperity, and happiness. Big hugs and kisses 🤗💋

[@christianblake6447]

It amazes me that a black man could tell his son to turn the other way in the presence of bullying or bigotry. I mean, really?!?! You deserved so much better. They don't sound like emotionally mature people. The nerve to say you "lied" to them? Can they even comprehend what this was like for you? I have 0 patience for people who react like this.

[@Elisques]

Wow what a strong story thank you for sharing

[@donsatterthwaite698]

beautiful and awesome.

[@usetnsme]

So sorry, my man that she laid all her personal bullshit out on you. Not to be disrespectful at you in any way here. But this wasn't about her or your dad. It's your life and identity. Confidence and self worth. Happiness and pride of self, worthiness to be and express yourself. You deserve true unconditional love and to love! Never let anyone discount you with disrespectful bullying or toxic rhetoric, even if you have to stand alone, struggling to be on your own. Your mental health, happiness and dignity is paramount! I've had a similar story and I understand your emotions and challenges. I'm in my expiring 50s and I didn't allow parents or any family to make me a sacrifice for who I am. It's not yours to carry or bear.

[@leewatson1805]

Amen to your grandma.

[@djmuzik6215]

Wow, Mr. Solomon i watched this video and it's not the worst coming out story. But it's sad that parents cannot learn what homosexuality is all about. The bible is what fuels their understanding. There is a book i want to suggest, hopfully you will read it. It's called "awakening to your life's purpose" by Eckhart Tolle

[@Oculoustuos]

You are easy to love.

[@JInfallible]

I'm happy you found yourself; sometimes, it takes decades for a person to do so. You have me thinking I should tell my story as well. Very different from yours. I see you had sympathy for your parents. I didn't at all. I told my mother girl stop crying all your foolish pride and vision for me when GOD DECIDES LIFE PURPOSE. WE GOTTA DO WHAT GOD WANTS.Well, I gotta do what God wants me to. I also said, " Momma, what do you think is gonna happen when you die and have to explain to God you didn't love me, your son cause I was a homosexual?" Don't be that stupid I told her. I'm here working God's assignment for me.

[@JInfallible]

My Mom and Dad present day are like thanks for convincing us not to walk away from you.

[@d.j.7069]

Solomon, you have nothing to be ashamed of; you were made Black and Gay by God ... parents who behave otherwise are just unknowing! You didn't lie, they just didn't know ... because you didn't know for a long time. You are awesome, my friend!

[@evelyna_paula1747]
