[@dandalstraphotography]

Alayna, I’m a straight middle aged man and I started watching your videos because my kids came out and I wanted to get some insight into the LGBTQ community… but after watching this video, I might have a secret, I freaking love your dad! I also rock a Bruce Lee t-shirt, and I love making inappropriate jokes. Great video! Love your channel, thanks for helping me understand more about LGBTQ issues and being a supportive parent and ally.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. She's right that if you're open about it it's ok, but Alayna is also right that then it's not an affair.

[@em5353]

here's my gay secret (somewhat anonymously lol): when i was around 11, i was playing a game of truth or dare with two female friends. somehow, i got the idea to ask one of them, "if me and the other girl were both boys, who would you date?" they both thought it was a weird question, i felt really embarrassed at the time. unsurprisingly, i am a lesbian now.

[@MiKa_EDS]

I hope your parents know that all of your followers have adopted your parents as our own 😂

[@Jennifer-zb4dq]

The person who was struggling to attract female attention, but only getting men's attention, spoke to me. YES. I do get female attention sometimes, but only masc women bite. I am femme and I'm generally only interested in other femmes. Every girl I swoon over is either straight, or into tomboy energy. To put it into perspective, I do not own a pair of pants. It's dresses and skirts exclusively over here. And I want a girl I can share skirts and dresses with, I need to get a femme in my skirt. Both literally and figuratively. Please lord, bless me with a lipstick lesbian😭

[@Alex-up9dj]

I basically have the same problem. I'm bisexual and when it comes to girls, I find myself being exclusively attracted to femmes. However, being femme myself, I tend to attract masculine lesbians much more often and it's kinda frustrating. So I often fall for straight women *sigh*.

[@hayleywilliamscroc]

I get you! I'm a femme lesbian and I usually attract men :/, occasionally women but that's only been women who I already knew, that already knew I was gay. I'm generally more into femme women as well, but I find it so hard to show that im gay when around other femme women. I have a couple of rainbows here and there, earrings etc, but without straight up asking someone if they're lesbian too it's something I struggle with. Especially cause I can never tell what another femme woman's sexuality is🥴like literally I have a crush on a girl who I haven't known for too long, so idk her sexuality yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if she was straight. I don't wanna change who I am/my style just to "look more gay", like I'm alt and I just want someone to share band shirts, dresses and docs with😭

[@tiggert4002]

Your mom is wholesome and your dad is goofy. You are the perfect combination of the two of them.

I was in Love with my best friend for 12 years, we both had other partners during that time, and now 20 years after first becoming best friends we’ve been married for 5 years and together for 8 years. So hearing you say “imagine being in love and still best friends for six years” made me laugh. We are only in our thirties, too, we were quite young.

The first poster feels very similar to my experiences and I identify as on the asexual spectrum. It really helped separating out sexual and romantic attraction, and knowing the genders attached to each could vary.

[@nenagh8638]

I was going to say the same thing. I'm aroace-ish and I've had the exact same thought process as OP. Being aspec to any degree definitely makes working out orientation really funky. My advice is firstly trust your gut, it has a way of knowing what's best. But do your best to not let other people pressure you into "picking a team" or hooking up for the sake of it.

[@vicsters07]

If only I had the confidence to approach women and tell them they're cute.

Go for it, you got this! The worst they say is no. Just egg yourself on and think how they could be a really cool person. Good luck 💜

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

Welcome to part of the nightmare of being a straight man. The other part being that straight women expect men to always make the first move, so the chances of a straight woman actually approaching me are much smaller than the chances of a lesbian approaching you.

[@Miketng8787]

Look at yourself in the mirror, tell Vicky that you're cute, the same way you imagine saying it to a woman. I would hope you at least crack a smile 😄(we all know you did). Would it not be worth it to try, to share that smile with someone else? 😁

My partner and I met in like September of '15. We became friends and would hang out during and after school. She had a crush on me even though I thought I was straight back then. As the years went by things came up and we lost contact for a few years. When we reconnected we were best friends once again, as if we had always stayed in touch. I learned that I am not straight and that I love her. It's been 7 years since we first met and we have been a couple for 7 months now.

[@Labradorite_Honu]

I've got to say I disagree with your parents at the 11:50 or so mark. For some of us, it is perfectly safe and actually the healthy rational thing to cut a parent out of your life. I was an adult but I wish I could have done it before high school. It would have saved me many many years of pain and turmoil (not purely emotional). When your safety is concerned, be it physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual, whatever it is perfectly acceptable and rational to divorce a parent from your life. My therapist is the one who introduced me to the idea and I'm ever so grateful. It isn't giving up on your parents. It's not giving up on yourself and recognizing you yourself are worthy of respect and worthy of compassion.

[@gabrielledfriedman]

I have never clicked on a video so fast. As soon as I saw your video pop up on my subscriptions list, I verbally said out loud "Lynellie!!!!!" and clicked on the video. Your parents are so wholesome and funny as heck. Well done raising Alayna.

[@lucyo2919]

Just wanted to say for person #1- you might want to look into asexualty, because I think that was word for word my thought process in high school. Then during college I heard Alayna say in one of her videos “you can be gay if you want to” and realized I wanted to be ace but didn’t feel like I could be. It’s not just something for other people. Just something to think about!

The first one might be asexual. I felt exactly the same way, thought I was bi because the "attraction" I felt for guys was the same I felt for girls, and then I understood that it was because I wasn't attracted to any of them lol. The idea of sex always kinda grossed me out, but if I _had_ to do it, I fell like I would prefer to be with a girl as that seems less uncomfy
