[@qtmeet]

You are thr one who inspired me to come out... I came out to my best friends two weeks ago. I even told my crush I like him. They were all ok eith it and it didn't affect our friendship in a bad way at all... Thanks!

[@qtmeet]

And yes, I've come out like 7 times by now, but I've come out to more people at a time recently. First week it was all my girl friends and then my crush and some other guys, but I felt awkward at first.

[@qtmeet]

+TandS Rox Thanks :D

[@Sander_los]

wooow i dont have the balls to do that..... soooo did your crush said yes XD?

[@qtmeet]

Boystime9 No, he isnt gay or bi, but I am ok with being friends, like before. I just wanted him to know if we were good friends and nothing has changed between us- we are good friends like before :D

[@Sander_los]

[@saja7406]

This video is so inspiring, Connor! Being in the closet myself, your words brought me one step closer to accepting my sexuality & to stop worrying about it 24/7. One day, I'll come back here & proudly proclaim that I finally came out ... i can't wait

[@lydsk-w345]

+Sarah Jas I hope that day's soon!! I just came out a few months ago and it feels amazing!!

[@ivorytheblackleopardtheria9892]

Good luck! We will be here waiting to congratulate you and we will all be proud :)

[@GojkoGojkovich77]

+Sarah Jas Connor just captures my exact feelings about the Coming Out process so well. I'm only out since May of this year to close friends and family, and it's quite a slow process. Ugh, conservative communities make it hard to be yourself. I still have to let my family know I'm atheist too, which is actually more difficult to be honest. I wish you luck Sarah!

[@animatedCJ]

You technically just came out!!! I'm so proud of you even though I don't know who the heck you are. Have a good day :D

[@franciscop9009]

I mean, you're not in the closet anymore. You just came out to 5+ million people.

[@onewithnickelcoins]

I used to go to a school where I was bullied for accepting the LGBT community and treating them like everyone else. I was called a lesbian for that. Eventually I wanted to be accepted and pretended to be homophobic to not be a loner. Then I moved to a new school and I did the same to fit in, but found out I don't have to pretend to be against someone to be accepted. I am pro-LGBT because they are people as well and just because of our differences we should not hate each other. Just my story.

[@Asterius_101]

So far, I've come out as gay to just 3 people, now I'm coming out to 5 million.

[@mollyfrancis5559]

I'm so happy for you

[@joysuter1553]

[@luna-tc5sg]

[@emmawallisch1365]

Good luck I hope people react well

[@Asterius_101]

Thanks, guys. Honestly, I really appreciate it,

[@Naishawashere]

I wish my parents were as cool as you about coming out

[@doraaaa0613]

+Naisha Hasan Same :(

[@too-toots]

+Naisha Hasan yeah me too. im not gay but i'd like to see my parents accepting the gay community

[@NaomiBaldacchino]

Same here, I'm not gay either but I wish my relationship with them was a comfortable and open one 😕

[@ghidanadar1603]

[@marisamelendez]

[@TheWRTP]

My friend was really sad. She came out to one of her closest friends and she replied "No you aren't, you're just confused" I was literally so mad when I heard she told her that. Then she said "You're too young to know." And that's when I lost my shit. I can't believe that girl had thought that that was a good idea to say that. You're never too young. Some people are just more intelligent or more into the topic than some other people. I just wish people would understand that their sexuality is not a choice and accept everyone for loving them self. Because everyone is a human. And no human should be treated less than others. Ugh I'm never deep but I'm currently curious right now, and I'm terrified. My dad is homophobic and if i find out that I turn out to be something he doesn't want me to be, I'm just scared he won't love me the same, or even look at me. Because I love him so much and I don't want to lose him.

[@edwardharris6194]

recently came out as bi to my mum. terrified that my Dad won't take it as well as she did. I'm scared of that "patriarchal instinct".

[@garett5435]

+Edward Harris whats bi

[@leahcoleman7227]

+Garett Abeyta you like boys and girls

[@emb6610]

+Leah Coleman it's not just girl and boy. It's your own gender and another. For most people it's girl and boy (me) but for others it could be different.

[@guillesa02]

Just imagine youre Caroline Forbes from the Vampire Diaries (kind of ironic, his dad was gay in the show) when he found out about her being a vampire, he tried to make her not do what she was doing, and i think it was more of a message for the gays out there, but overall, he never stopped loving her, and she never stopped loving him

[@GregBashawOfficial]

Connor is such a strong person 😄

[@GregBashawOfficial]

Stay who your are Connor :)

[@solobelle2799]

When I first watched his original coming out video I never cried so much in my life I was so proud of him.

[@michaelmisfit]

You're such a perfect human being, we need more people like you Connor! Thank you so much for being so open with us, i relate so much to what you said in this video becuz i am also gay and i have yet to come out to my parents but I'm out to friends and it just felt like such a relief to be able to come out to somebody but like you said it is terrifying, i'm glad people like you exist becuz you make my life easier to live, thank you and i love you! (:

[@michaelmisfit]

[@anjaivan24]

He is really inspiring :)

[@justiceorrand6076]

Yes he is a perfect human and I am glad he inspires you and hopefully one day you will be able to be openly gay and when the time is right you will tell your parents and they will tell you they love you and everything will be perfect like it was for him I wish you the best of luck

[@tianna1807]

The day when someone doesn't have to come out and just be who they are without questions asked will be the day I will forever look forward too. If straight people don't have to come out then gay and etc. shouldn't have to ever. I hope one day everyone will be comfortable and supportive of everyone and anyone.

[@taytayfr]

[@hanakalakele]

I don't support gay people

[@coconutkookie8692]

+Hana Brigham Why? They are humans like you and I and they should be able to make their own choices in life. Their sexuality doesn't define them.

[@snitox]

+KZbin Phan She has a right to her own opinion and shouldn't be immediately labeled as a bigot. This is what this generation has problems understanding that If I don't support homosexuality im not just immediately incapable of being friends with gay people. Get your head out of your ass.

[@frederickgeorge8170]

True but it's still hard seriously I don't think you know how it can be terrifying

I'm proud of you Connor your so brave! Unlike me... I'm 11 and pansexual and I know my family would not care, but I'm scared about what my friends would think because one of my friends found out my other friend was pan and she told me to watch out... I don't want my friends to think they are prey and that every compliment I give them they would think I'm into them. I have no clue what to do

[@gretchenweiners7954]

Well if your friends actually think anything of it they aren't your friends if they don't accept you

[@lostsilver2875]

+Gretchen Weiners I understand

[@anekajones6019]

+Lost Silver if you have any doubts about your friends taking it badly and being nasty about it, then it probably means the friendship isn't solid enough for you to give away such a personal part of your life. I suggest maybe evaluating the friendship, and if you need to tell someone, maybe a parent? just be careful, please don't hurt yourself.

[@sanjanahegde01]

[@jose-pr7wf]

hi gus😂

[@kristabailes8451]

The spectrum thing he was talking about at the end with feeling sorry for people who are sexist and homophobic and racist really spoke to me. My "friend" is a hardcore Christian and when I came out as bi she told me "I don't like your lifestyle choice but you're still my friend, so don't hit on me." She always tries to shove her beliefs down my throat about how I shouldn't be a gay feminist because it's not okay to be gay in the bible and women are supposed to be the inferior sex. And the men where I'm from aren't as accepting as the women are. I always feel so bad for all the people who don't understand that love and compassion can be given to anybody. I told a boy who was calling me a f*g that I felt bad for him because he showed no love to those around him. I'm really only out to me friends and school, but my family is a whole other thing. This world is probably going to be a better world when our generation become adults and the 20 year olds becoming congress and gvmt officials

[@SimplyBeauty13]

I totally agree with your last sentence!!!

[@lukebell5569]

Yep, great job!

[@annikakohls391]

I'm sorry that your friend was like that. I am a Christian myself, and that's not the way we are supposed to act. We believe that even if someone is doing something we don't agree with, we shouldn't hate them. (I have no idea where she got the whole "inferior sex" thing. Everyone is equal) So I apologize if you feel like all Christians feel that way. She just isn't acting the right way. We don't hate anyone really

[@renekorinj3555]

+Krista Bailes I came out to my mom and she said "There's no such thing as that"

I am a catholic girl who has lgbtq+ people everywhere in my family. I Believe everything that Catholics believe... Except for their view on lgbtq's. It makes me so upset to think that there are people out there who think that people choose to be gay, lesbian etc. if you choose to be that way you are choosing to not be accepted by everybody. 🤔 Gay's really do love their same gender. You are so amazing and good luck with life. I love your channel😘 btw I am 12

[@chloepruitt5653]

+Sophie Gamez Stumbled upon your comment... I hate the way people think that also. Good to know that another Catholic feels the same.

[@jazminlara7660]

I'm Catholic too and my church accepts gays but it could be different for you. At first I wasn't sure what my religion said about lgbtq+ so that's why I didn't really support it until I started watching KZbin a lot more and realized that your sexuality does not define who you are and is only a part of you.

[@MacsUsername]

SO OBNOXIOUSLY PROUD

[@samuelz.g2318]

I sat here listening to your comments, reflecting on my own growing up in a time period where virtually no one actually "came out" for fear of being kicked out of the house, sent to jail or killed and I continue to be amazed that here you are actually discussing this topic for all the world to see. Never thought I'd be alive to see the day where gay/lesbians could marry let alone, talk about their marriage openly and via mass media. My deepest hope and prayer is that when you are my age (on my driver's license under birthdate it just says :Old ) kids of your age and younger will not even have to "come out" as they will be encouraged and accepted for who they are right from birth. No covert misogynistic values in advertisements et al. Thank you for being one of the pioneers along the path to equality. With my generation it was Stonewall and now with yours it's You Tube. You are brave and bless your family for their courageousness. If but all children were similarly lucky!!!!

[@HannahRose-wy5me]

Hi okay so this is an old video but I watched your coming out the other day (I've been scouring the Internet for coming out videos lmao) and I now love your channel, but also your video is the one that completely inspired me, and I came out to my sister the other day. She's the first family member I've told (that I'm bi), and I've not got a plan for telling anyone else other than some friends, but I just want to say thank you because thanks to you I finally got the support I need from a family member. It doesn't seem like such a big deal, but I've been hiding my sexuality from my family for about a year and a half at this point, and it felt so good to finally tell one of them. I don't normally comment on videos so this is weird for me, but yeah. Thank you for motivating me :)

[@TakoyakiAdventures]

Aww this is everything. It reminds me how important it is for us to share our stories of coming out with each other

[@delp4287]

I know this struggle

[@autumnewing7319]

Hi Conner, I'm not sure if you remember me but I was at your book signing at the mall of America in April. I told you that after your coming out video I started to come out to my family and friends, afterwards you gave me a hug and told me you were proud of me. I don't think you know how much that meant to me. At the time I had not talked to my best friend for 2 months, she could stand me being bisexual. I still have not talked to her, the last time I saw her was on Valentine's Day. That day that I lost her has haunted me ever since and you gave me that little bit of hope that I needed to keep surviving, and to find something to look forward to everyday. Thank you for being such an amazing person.

[@ainnor4149]

+Autumn Ewing There we go! :3 Take another one. #hug

[@noellebarnes6826]

awh stay strong! she's not worth it if she would just leave you like that. #HUGS

[@kamillazhanseitova]

take another one [2], #hugandlove

[@UnchartedidHellsArmy]

I really don't know why people HAVE to explain their sexuality to people. Like, sexuality really shouldn't matter. It doesn't define us, it's a small aspect of us. Like, it's not like people say "Oh I'm straiiight" but somehow gay people HAVE to say "Oh I'm gay". Like, it really shouldn't matter what sexuality we are.

[@charlotteadams2770]

+Unchartedid HellsArmy I agree, but these videos are very helpful fro people in the closet

[@UnchartedidHellsArmy]

True, it does help them get through it. I guess I didn't think about those benefits! :)

[@calcul8er205]

+Unchartedid HellsArmy if you're not sure why people announce they are gay watch Ashley Mardell's video "we get it you're gay"

[@UnchartedidHellsArmy]

I get the video.What I meant, was that even for a straight person! Why does sexuality have such influences on our thoughts? I think its wrong. Our personalities should define the people we are, not what we are attracted to. "The Gays" "Those Trans" It doesn't make sense that we look down upon this, and use it to divide everyone into small segments.

[@s.h.8399]

+MangoSmango1 @unchartadid HellsArmy hi, I read your conversation. I've been stating the same multiple times before. I have really all kinds of sexuality in my friends and they always 'came out', and they always said: "even though I wasn't scared of you taking it 'the wrong way' I'm still happy I did it." so I just said "to me, it doesn't change anything. We're friends anyways". I nearly asked everybody once after a while why they felt the need to come out, because like you, I don't think people shouldn't need to. They all (like really all) said "One thing is, that it becomes like really clear. To yourself, and to all the people around you. Cause if you don't mention (and mention would kinda be enough) it, people will mostly consider you hetero. So if you for example go out with a female friend, the person who doesn't know she's gay, shows her cute boys. It's just so that people know what gender your into, because in the end we all want to have a partner/muliple partners and it's harder to find them without them knowing what you're into. And it's usual that people think you're hetere until they've seen you with a partner who doesn't 'fit the hetero-typ'. And because still most people are hetero and we've been brought up by mainly hetero-generations for the past few decades." So I agree that it'd be nice for people to not have to come out. But they're happy with it, and if they had a bad coming-out, they would've had another bad situation anyways (sadly! like when your homophobic uncle sees you as a girl with another girl..) (sorry for any mistakes I made, I'm not a native English speaker) Cheers :)

[@TheMiniVader]

holy crap my coming out one year anniversary is coming up too! idk when the exact date is but it was late january 2015 (like a week or so before my birthday february 3rd) thank you for being such an inspiration!

stil so proud of you, one year later 💕

[@mina0n576]

*still

[@okcoolros4121]

I seriously need to come out as pan to my family but I know that they are STRONGLY homophobic so I'm terrified 😔😖😣

[@sarcastichearts]

(this whole comment is based on the assumption that you still live with your family, so correct me if i'm wrong) i'm pansexual myself, and in my opinion, if they're really homophobic, and coming out might be dangerous to your safety in anyway, then i might advise waiting until you've moved out and are in a safe environment to do so. coming out happens in our own time, and there is no rush. please don't do anything that might jeopardise your health. it really sucks that we can't always have the same privileges and rights straight people have (ie being able to bring dates home without being shouted at), but sometimes we have to be realistic and put our safety first, so you're not abused or kicked out. you're not alone. you're not broken and there's nothing wrong with being who you are. nothing can change who you are. stay safe, friend, i hope everything goes well for you xx

[@bridgettwray5146]

+Rosie Tibbs HOLY FUCKING SHIT That is literally the same situation that I am in right now. My dad told me that he would hate any of his children and kick them out of the house if they were gay. I completely understand

[@bridgettwray5146]

Alicja Wawrzyniak I know it's really hard, it is for me too. But at this point I won't come out until it is safe for me to do so. I hope it all works out for you

[@KittyMax97]

my advise to you is to wait until you don't rely on them for anything.

[@hx7904]

Pan??

[@ebonybarker7544]

Connor, just know this. No matter what you are or what your sexuality is or who you like. You are you and no one can change that you can't change who you are you need to except it. You are amazing and I love u for the way that you except yourself and help other people. Thank you. 😘😍 love who you want to love. No one is stopping you but you.

Connor today I came out to my mom before school because i couldn;t keep it to myself any more heres how the converssation went. :) Me: Ok mom I need to tell you something that is very serious to me i've been avoiding this for years and i cant take it ANY more Mom: Ok what is it? Me: Alright.. after a bunch of crying and stumbling... im a lesbian i've know this for years ever since i was a little girl i wanted to tell you yet I ignored it and im sorry if you hate me but this is my life Mom: Honey it's ok if your a lesbian iv'e made out with pleanty of girls in my lifetime Me: but the difference is you did't feel anything Mom: You are correct I did'nt and i know you must feel something me: Ya i do.. I know it may be hard for you to understand what im feeling because im only 14 and im pretty young to understand my sexulity but now I can be who i am and not have to worry about this any more to hide it all away.. Mom: I'm really proud of you kiddo and remember that you need to be true with yourself give me hugs And did you bring your lunch? Me: Mhm! And that basically how it went down at 7 in the morning share your coming out story with me

[@loveletterfromheaven]

I'm so happy that in a year this much change has occurred for you. Every time I watch your coming out video I cry because nobody should ever have to go through something like that. I hope that soon you will come to a point where you don't have to feel that bringing it up is weird, awkward, or make someone else uncomfortable, because it shouldn't have to. I am so proud of you, and I love you so much!!! Btw, I got your book on black friday, read in an about 2 hours, and absolutely loved it. You are so talented and if/when you decide to write another book, I will definitely get it. To anyone reading this, whether you're apart of the Franta family or not, you're a beautiful human being, no matter your differences, and you shouldn't let ANYONE tell you otherwise. Much love.
