I rather watch this , over love hip & hop . It’s raw & real

[@katherinefahie5487]

You keep pushing to be yourself Jonathan! You are a handsome young man, don't ever forget that. I am proud of you. Keep fighting for you life...

[@JessicaGail]

Wait his mom sent him to gay conversion therapy? That breaks my heart. I can’t imagine the mental turmoil he deals with because of that. I’m happy that he’s a strong person who seems to be positive and who seems to have come out on the other side regardless of his hardships. I have a gay brother and I can’t imagine if my brother had been put through that, I am so thankful we had accepting parents, it’s super rare to have them here in Alabama. :( We got lucky.

[@JessicaGail]

Karen Elizabeth My gay brother said he was born gay so I don’t believe it’s our business to challenge that. You can’t choose your sexuality, straight people can’t choose to be straight either, you’re born the way you are.

[@butterflymustfly_1232]

@@JessicaGail Yet God states no effeminate will make it in the Kingdom of God. Hmmm. I understand to an extent we are born that way( in sin) but Jesus tells us to be born AGAIN in the holy spirit. I'm not judging. I have my own son I'm working out that if I don't turn from it I won't be in the kingdom of heaven either.

[@Lbree1077]

Some of the products we use have a lot of hormones in it especially baby products. I noticed that there is a lot of estrogen in baby lotions and women products so if you’re pregnant with a boy and rubbing that stuff into your skin, then that estrogen is getting into that baby boy. So when he’s born he’s gonna feel feminine because of the products we use. That’s why I read everything before I use it. I make my own soaps and lotion because if my kid is going to choose to be gay it’s going to be because he’s naturally attracted to that person and not because some hormone made him feel that way.

[@najh7618]

Can I just say your Apartment is beautiful

[@KayAintPressed]

I liked him and k Michelle friendship. If it wasn't for her we wouldn't have never knew who he was

[@jaidenjovan28]

Not really. That's what K said but love and hip-hop new York was out at least 2 years before Atlanta and he was already doing make up for some of the cast members aka kimbella/others.

[@vikeyshamurray7553]

@@jaidenjovan28 he was behind the scenes and K Michelle pulled him to the front. K Michelle mistake.

[@kianidavis2042]

True! She did! I love them both!

[@joeymtz5782]

I love Jonathan so much 😞 ❤️ it breaks my heart the things he went through

[@BrandyD1777]

I'm loving the Unveiled seasons/episodes. This is the reality T.V. I want to see. Jonathan has thru some crazy 💩 and no matter his faults/mistakes he has seemingly stayed true to his dreams, family, friends (as long as they don't do him dirty---which would make me walk).

[@roseanneplatts930]

Its actually nice for once seeing one of the love and hip hop cast using their platform for something good. So now I've seen a very different side to him, coz at 1 point I thought Jonathan was very very messy. Like people say never judge a book by its cover!!! After all that he went through he deserves to be loved like anyone else. Every one deserves to be who they were meant to be, and I don't understand why people can't except that. What does it matter to anyone if your gay or bi, transgender why does it bother people so much if their happy then so should we they aren't hurting nobody and living their best life. Big respect to you Jonathan you should be very proud of yourself for telling your story. Big hugs and kisses 😘 from the U.K Xxxx

[@aliciabowen691]

He's such a Cutie Pie 😘

[@317Shannon]

Johnathan you should be proud of what you're doing. My city just made Gay Conversion Therapy illegal and the penalties are harsh, minimum of 5 yrs.

[@judithfrancois4940]

Awww poor baby.😔 but his soul is beautiful. I like me some Jay

[@roachqueen1973]

Where are my donuts 🍩? I feel you Johnathon.

[@renagarcia9774]

I'd love to hang out with him! My dog is a girl one of his kinda lol her name is LuLu JuJu Bee❤ Love you Jonathan, I was bullied so bad as a little girl but it made me stronger just like you hunny💪👑😘

[@evadordal5141]

I LOVE Johnathan and Yandy relationship they have been aces since day ONE and that can be respected. #divaondialysis

[@vikeyshamurray7553]

If Yandy and him was so cool why Yandy didn't make a way for him before K Michelle did.

[@brokensmile43]

YANDY is so incredibly fake LOL

[@nthomengmajara8575]

@@vikeyshamurray7553 Yandy was still finding herself. Also your journey is not your friend's responsibility. Also Jonathan has been honest about the demons he fought to get here, and Yandy stood by him. Time is not time before time, nor is it time after time. Your time is always on time, independent of anybody but God. Last ,but not least, God's timing is perfect.

Jonathan is so amazing I love that he is so real and down to earth, BLESS YOU ALWAYS ❤️

Jonathan I am all for u keep up the good work BECAREFUL CRISSY AROUND SHE WILL START HATING

[@sexbykittypride]

I'm a counselor in training. I plan to specialize in sex therapy :) Gay conversion therapy is not only harmful and wrong, it is unethical based on the expectations of every governing body for licensed mental health practitioners nationwide. Being Gay is not a disorder. Even if it is not outlawed, practitioners who practice it need to be reported to their state licensing and ethics board for further evaluation. More people do this and I promise the laws will change quicker.

So sorry about you having to do shock therapy that had to be traumatic and its amazing to see how you persevered and became a success story. Furthermore it clearly did not work, and it should be illegal to use it in conversion therapy for sexual orientation.
