It Gets Better/ Coming out

[@stephaniejones5522]

It is so hard to believe that my beautiful son has been in heaven for almost a year and a half. I am so proud and thankful that i have these videos of you to remember you by. I love you Trevor and miss you so much!

[@NapoleonCalland]

+Stephanie Jones It takes an amazing mother to produce such a wonderful son. Trevor has brought light, courage and happiness into the lives of a great multitude of people, both by his advice and by his example. That won't make you miss him any less, I know, but it needs to be said, because he'll continue to be among us thanks to the bravery and kindness he showed to others, and the help and support that will continue to shine on the rest of us thanks to his videos.

[@iwnunn7999]

Omg. I stumbled on this vid by accident. So, so sorry for your lose! The fact that he made this vid encouraging people to be who they are speaks volumes about his character. You did an amazing job raising this beautiful spirit. Though it's been yrs since his death, my thoughts are with you and your family

[@MichaelAndersxq28guy]

My sincere condolences. I just want to hug you for so many reasons. Thank you for allowing us this small sliver of a view into your life.

[@robertdagg2053]

God bless you Stephanie, may you have the strength to get through this until you see him again x

[@RCSVirginia]

I am so glad that things worked out so well for you, Trevor. I am placing this video on my "Coming Out As Gay" KZbin Playlist, but one thing that I would add is that it is crucial that people come out when they are ready to do so and when they are safe in doing so. Only the person himself can determine when the time is right.

[@ConsejosInteligentes]

I can't stop watching this video!!! Love when he says "can we just love someone" " is that too much" .... I really wanna cry, love you man!!!

[@Javiier1024]

Coming from a hardcore Hispanic Catholic family I was terrified of coming out of the closet. But when I did I was accepted without being bullied or harassed, I consider myself to be lucky. Nevertheless, I’m gay and I’m proud and nothing anybody does will ever change the way I feel in my heart. I love you! Because people like you help open the minds and hearts of others. Thanks. P.S. Are you a attending OU?

[@rsftwhehe2]

i cant stop watching these videos... it'll definately be a while until i gather up the courage to come out to my friends and family...

[@Thursdayization]

Trevor, I love your message and the person you present yourself as being. It's obvious that your mother brought you up with love and kindness; it shows through the person you've presented yourself as being and the words you shared... Thank you. you are a beautiful person don't stop growing.

[@kennyshoulars9389]

Stephanie, I just now discovered Trevor's video, watching without knowing he was gone. I am so sorry for your loss and indeed a loss for all of us in the LGBT community. It is clear Trevor was an amazing young man. Thank-you for allowing Trevor's legacy to live on. He is helping a lot kids who are stuggling and I know God has blessed his soul! May peace and love be with you always!

[@MrLadyGaGaLovr]

Thank you so much for posting this video! You are such an inspiration, and adorable I must say! :) I've been there, done that, and you're right. It does get better!

[@aznar666]

THE WORLD NEEDS MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU, TREVOR. I'M MOVED BY WHAT I SEE IN YOU, THE LOVE THAT I SEE COME OUT OF YOU IS A RARE THING, AND WE NEED IT, WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU. Keep us posted God bless you brother.

[@kgamwtapaidia24]

He IS an angel! He has always been an angel!🖤

[@ShaneDocPuff]

Kind of late seeing this, but very well done... Think you for sharing your feelings, especially back in 2011, so much has changed since then, and it was because of stores like yours.

[@Desertsun17]

Just watched your one year video! Congrats! Man, you had your head on during this video! Thanks for posting! PEACE!

[@mpmikemp]

I have watched a lot (lot) of these videos and this is the first one that made me want to be 20 again. I am very happy with where I am in life; but, it sure would be nice to have been coming out with guys like you when I came out. You are incredible. Be proud and be arrogant = yes you can = because you are just that good and deserve a lot of self credit.

[@KSai207]

Hey Trevor, nice video. It really hit home when you talked about wondering how things would have been if you had come out sooner. I am 48, & I just came out in February. However, in 1978 it was not as easy to come out as it is today. Have a great life, and always be confident in who you are.

[@jdr883]

Kevin.... So true. Be exactly who you are. I can relate to you because I'm 45 and just came out last year. Was a different time back then.

[@KSai207]

+JDR 88 Thanks for the reply. Feel free to email me at [e-mail]. I hadn't realized that Trevor had passed until I read the other comments. My condolences. :-(

[@IwannaMeetNickJonas]

OH MY GOSHHHH I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!! You are so awesome :D I love this video!!! That's so brave of you to put this out for anyone to see I think you may have helped alot of people!! YOu are so good-looking!!! Beautiful boy, so sweet omg I love this video!!! Your voice is so sweet!! U have a lovely story i'm gonna send this to my friend I hope he takes ur advice!! Thanks for making this gahhh ur gorgeous XD I hope u have a great guy in ur life u deserve the best!!!

[@thoth1101]

Thanks for this video. It is so touching. It does get better.

[@rastus0226]

" Love people as you want to be loved, treat people how you want to be treated, never discriminate" I am totally agreed with you, thank you so much for this video, good job :)

[@paulrodgers7228]

I wish I wasn't too late to tell you that your video was one of the many videos I was looking at 4-5 years ago to help me get the courage to come out! Thank you and God Bless!

[@quentinmerritt]

This dude it's really intelligent. If any of y'all are struggling with your sexual orientation or religion or anything that's important to you just know that it gets better. I love all of you and wish you well.

[@jeremyz653]

We should all accept and appreciate the world as the way it is, including ourselves, and including everyone else. Otherwise, we would never truly be able to experience happyness or respect

[@vandikos1989]

you're adorable!!i don't think it's wrong to love and be loved in any way!!it's just LOVE guys!!:))behave as you feel!it's what i 've decided to do!!!!

[@jpizzaboy1010]

you inspire me, I'm coming out to my best girl friend tomorrow because of you. I will never forget you, thankyou for really making me understand that this is who I am. :)

[@pol6669]

I saw this video a few days after I came out with my parents and my sister and now I'm starting to realize that it's true the things really gets better... Your video gave me hope, it gave me strength to think that the thing can change I only have to wait. Thank you so much for that =) Ps: I'm from argentina so sorry if my english is not so good

[@erikapelt4907]

Love the way you deliver the message, Trevor. Inspiring for everyone..

[@mikem1026]

great video! it's things like this that give me hope that everything will get better. I came out to my best friend a few weeks ago and she was great about it. & Trevor, don't worry about the haircut. I think you're cute :D

[@jackylovesm]

Ok you ARE AMAZING ! don't change a thing. You're the future. People are stuck in their old way of thinking. You are so great, and fantastic and lovely. If some friends of yours ever walked away after finding out, they're the biggest jerks EVER. I would kill to have someone like you as a friend, someone so nice, so accepting. Don't change, ever.

[@robbrent]

Is there not a way to remove the dislikes? Can’t imagine what sort of viewers disliked this. So sorry for the family and our community’s loss. This is honestly one to the top 5 coming out videos. Cudos to the family for leaving the account up. Would it not be an idea to edit/update the account profile though? RIP bright star that you must be Trevor.

[@stephaniejones5522]

I would if I knew how. I don't have his passwords. Thank you for the kind words

[@alexortega1176]

Thank you Trever. You have such aa amazing heart and soul. You left us too soon. We need more people like you on this Earth. The world would be such a better place. Hope you can see this message in heaven. Rest In Peace bro.

[@olaffjason]

i like how soft spoken you are ;)

[@AreyJones]

Trevor, I like your honesty. I like that you are being true to yourself. I like that your heart is full of love for people and for life. It does keep getting better and better.

[@cmnprescod]

Bravo!! Standing ovation! This is very moving and touching and down right honest. It's the honesty that got me on this video. It's awesome how you did this. You should be honored for that, because I'm struggling with the whole coming out thing, and it does help when someone who is like you tells you it does and will get better. Great job, and yeah you are kinda cute haha but your intelligence makes you very attractive, just sayin. Thanks for your inspirational words! :D

[@davidcsabai1597]

You are one of the best peoples in the world, you are full of love!! Amazing Trevor!! Never change!

[@Numba1GleeLover]

Thanks, Trevor. I just second handedly came out to my class and I'm still unsure of how their reactions turn out. I'm somewhat frightened, but not that I'll be teased (it's inevitable). It's that I'm afraid I can't go forward with my daily routine at school. I'm afraid that I can't change in the locker room without girls acting like I'm staring at them and/or trying to convert them or that I'm going to be hit and spit on because I like both genders. I'm afraid I can't be a regular girl anymore.

[@deonmclaughlin4179]

Your amazing! Your message is clear. I've come out to people and your right it does get easier :). So thank you for everything! It was much apprenticed!

[@TerryLillis]

This made me feel so much more like I'm not the only one.. You inspire me, even though I'm out. :D thank you for that:) and please make more videos! You are pretty epic:)

[@iwnunn7999]

It wasn't awkward at all. I thought is was calm, soothing, and conversational. I know your heart aches for him every day and no one can provide any words of consolation. Try as best you can to celebrate his life and the love that only a mother and son can share. As a son who lost his mother several years ago, I know just how special that bond is.

[@hmmtrevor]

@NikkiM1976 Thank you soo much! Thats all I want is for people to see that they are not alone and they should Never Ever be afraid!

[@Invaraeden]

Thank you for this video, you are a beautiful person and your words gave me hope! :D

[@topspin13]

all the things you said were very true, I've only come out for about a year or so and it has gotten better. A lot of my friends were very accepting which helped me out. Anyway thanks for the great and very inspiring video :)

[@LarryBanks85]

I love this ❤️

[@kujiranomanko]

I am a straight guy but I have a lot of gay male friends and they're some of the coolest people I know. I think adversity builds character. It's hard, but it does become a part of you and you grow stronger as a person because of it. Anyone who won't accept you for you are is not worth having in your life. The people who do stand by you and accept you are your true allies. Peace. :-)

[@hmmtrevor]

@pol6669 It always gets better and I hope soo much that your family is as supportive as mine! Thank you for the comment! p.s. Don't worry about that! You are welcome to comment in Spanish if its easier for you!

[@ChrisCollins01]

Some very wise words there Trevor and god love you for having the courage to share them. You are so right we should love one another and I am older than you at 45 and still I haven't a clue as to why some people enjoy inflicting hurt and pain on other people. My heart gets heavy every time I watch the TV news but then I see videos likes this and my heart lifts again.

[@bbqlol10]

I have watched your video as well as other people's videos on the itgetsbetter site and I could not help but cry. Thank you for being such an inspirational force in the LGBT community and society as a whole even if you are only helping one person at a time. Amazing video, it was compelling and graceful, nicely wrapped in 9 minutes!

[@Klupp2date]

Courage and confidence is very attractive in a person, and you just happen to be hot to boot! You will never want for dates bro! Stay strong & proud Trevor!!

REGRET is what we have to avoid, we can move forward, it doesnt matter at all, and then this REGRET will bind u in chains, and trust me, its never a good thing.

[@stephaniejones5522]

I'm so proud that my son's videos are still helping people. He is truly missed.

[@mete6865]

Trevor, even 11 years later, this video still fulfills its purpose and instills hope in lost souls like me who live in entirely different part of the world. While I was watching, I cursed this system that forced you to talk about what should have been so simple and ordinary, by sniffing, shaking your voice and choking your throat. Because this video is all about love and not to discriminate others. I wish with all my heart that you could be with us and see the way we have come.

[@localman12]

You boys should clean up your rooms! And I would be so proud to have a son like you, you're amazing.

[@tylerwlmth]

Trevor, I had no idea you were gone until today. I had my iTunes on shuffle and Superman by Joe Brooks came on and I thought to look you up because you talked about that song in one of your videos. I wanted to somehow tell you thank you for your videos. I was struggling with accepting myself and telling my friends and family around the same time you started posting videos on youtube. I watched every one of them and eagerly awaited you to post another one every time. Your words inspired and helped me so much. I am now married to a wonderful man that loves me in return and I know that I would not be the person I am without your encouragement through your videos. I really wanted to share this with you, but if anything, I just want your family to know what a difference you made in my life and probably in the lives of so many others. I feel like I knew you, I remember being upset and finding myself watching your youtube videos to give me courage and confidence, and they always did. You never knew me, but without you, I might wouldn't be here. You made a difference. Thank you. Rest in peace.

I love You Trevor, your so cute! Your msg was inspirational, people forget that being gay is something you have to cope with on a daily basis, people make me so angry when they have the attitude that "being gay is legal now get over it". Its sooo not that easy its constantly with u, it gets easier yes but its always there! Guys like you are a really great inspiration and have such a positive attitude, you should teach "gay studies" or something to educate the ignorant terrified masses!

I know if i was your father - i would be very proud for you to be my son.... Please keep making these videos because the positive content in them... they can only be all good for the human race.

nice job Trevor.when my son told me that he was gay. i reacted much like your mother did. i already knew. it does`nt matter. i love him unconditionally.

[@CorvusBruxo]

My mom told everybody too. I told her as soon as I figured it out myself and so I told her like I told her my other "weird" stuff, naturally, just like any other information I give to her about myself when I discover it, and she told everyone else in my family and her friends too! xD. Surrealist. I LOVED what you said. "is loving someone for who they are just too much?". And it's not a contradiction that you're gay and a christian. Being gay doesn't deny us the right to believe in something

Trevor, you are wise beyond your years. The first time I realized I was attracted to another guy was when I was around nine and watched Tab Hunter, an actor of the 1950's, (who turned out to be actually gay) in a movie called Island of Desire around 1952! I am 68 now, and got married to my partner of 40 years in 2008. Best to you.
