I'm not a native English speaker. I've been learning English for 30 years, since I was 11. But this is one of the best speeches (monologues) in English that I have ever heard in my life. Devon, you're so intelligent, eloquent and precise in expressing your thoughts and, above all, so clear, fluent, intelligible and coherent. I was literally able to understand every single word of yours and the monologue is 16 minutes long! You did it in such a brilliant and charming way. Well done, best of luck and regards from Croatia, Europe.

I so admire you. Well done. I am 73 married to my wife for 49 years, cared for her with MS 24 years, full hoist for 7 years, former Baptist Pastor and missionary, had two children who are now both married and I am a grandfather of 4 grandsons. But I am gay, medically proven during electronic shock aversion therapy. It did an enormous amount of damage that is still remains with me today. I hope you are very happy with your partner/husband.

Sorry to hear about this, Ron. It’s total bullshit how many lives were ruined with that sort of ignorance with electroshock therapy, which was always stupid pseudoscience. Not sure if you’re still married or out or whatever, but wishing the best for you.

I felt good one day when as a Christian I realized, there's no way that Jesus would mind me loving another man. He would be so joyful If we all just loved each other. I think Jesus today would be turning over a lot of tables in our religious churches. Be happy Devon and Rob. PEACE

Jesus was a bachelor in his thirties. There were no females in his life, but Jesus did run around with 12 other men. 12. They just loved him. They treated him like he was a god. 12 guys and no girls.

I can so identify with you. I grew up Pentecostal and conservative and I was so trapped in self-hate and fear. My fear was so great that it took me a very long time to come out. I wanted to say thank you. What you said about letting go of self-hate and being afraid of the unknow was powerful and I needed to hear that. I remember telling my dad when I came out that I had chosen to believe in Gods love for me but I haven't been doing that so thanks for reminding me to do that.

I am 75 years old and when I was 15 or 16, I told my mother and father that I was Gay and we had a pretty short conversation. I have been with my partner, Husband, love for 47 years and we still love each other very much. I'm going to tell you many things that are so far removed from any other Gay person, that some of these things you may not believe or you have never thought of them before. I am very masculine and no one has ever guessed me to be gay, not that it matters, and I have never ever hid that I was gay to anyone at all. My high school knew I was gay and I was never bullied by a single person. I was the fastest runner in my high school. I was very well liked and even some girls joked about converting me. I have never been with a female and had never thought about it, not even to hide that I was gay. I think I was maybe six or seven when I knew I was attracted to males. What got me through all this and so much more was the fact that at a very young age, I was very mature, aware of myself and aware of the world around me, I knew what was right and what was wrong for me, I was not persuaded by anything or anyone, except my parents out of respect and love. These attributes you cannot find in hardly any grown man, let alone a teenage boy. And that is what has put me through life. Never been rejected, made fun of or talked about...ever. The other thing that has kept me clear headed is that I have from my early twenties managed to avoid ignorance and I'm talking about the REAL ignorance. If I saw it or heard it, I walked or ran the other way. Ignorance in this world comes in a million different shapes, colors and brains. THERE ARE THREE FORCES IN THIS WORLD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF BILLIONS (YES, BILLIONS OF PEOPLE AND ANIMALS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME. THEY ARE RELIGION, CULTURE, AND IGNORANCE AND THEY WILL ALL BE HERE ON THIS PLANET UNTIL THE VERY LAST PERSON TAKES THEIR LAST BREATH. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS.

This journey is duplicated time and time again. Thirty seven years ago I knew I was attracted to men but church, culture and family pushed and pushed to marriage. I became engaged to a good woman. Days before the wedding I was in the bishops office in total panic. I asked him what was I to do getting married and also attracted to men. I was told...proceed with marriage, marriage and righteous living will make those feelings go away, and never tell your wife of those feelings. WHAT?!?!?,,,enter into marriage with secrets and lies??? I got married. Weeks into the marriage I was going to have it annulled. Then she came to me saying she was pregnant. That set everything into motion, I could not walk away from my child. Four children later, ten years into the marriage I came out to the wife, mom and sister. Major, major mistake, it was held against me everyday thereafter. Come forward 27 years of marriage, the last child moved out. The wife came to me and asked for a divorce. Took just minutes of my thinking we didn't sleep in the same bed for years, had not had sex more than a few time over the prior years, didn't even vacation together anymore, I said OK. On the same weekend of the divorce being finalized I also quit the Mormon church and came out to my three sons and the other people that mattered. Since then I catch myself occasionally having cramps in my face cheeks. I realize I am smiling to hard. In fact I smile more in the last 10 years than I ever did in the prior 50. 'Tis a horrible sociological experiment/mistake LDS, Inc. made encouraging gay men to marry women. From that many 1000's of divorces have occurred, families destroyed, relationships lost. The divorce rate for mixed sexuality marriages is around 95%.

My ex-wife is happily remarried (thank God). I am glad for my incredible kids, but I have never had the male mate my heart desired. Yet, I am content. I wish you great happiness!

Devon's decisions and subsequent path will be beneficial to his children. A parent's most important role is to be a role model, and while it is impossible to truly know someone from a 16 minute video, I'd say he is, and will be, a stellar role model. He has shown bravery in the face of adversity, and remained true to himself. Good lessons to pass on.

Your story is so similar to mine. I was married for 18yrs when I came out. By then my children were young teenagers. Our split was amicable and luckily my children were mature enough to accept my sexuality. My wife went on to remarry 32yrs ago and I met the love of my life. We had a great relationship and my children said they were lucky as they had three dads. All family occasions every body joined in as family. We enjoyed amazing good family times together. Unfortunately my partner passed 20yrs ago with cancer. We all still mourn and think of him. To me that is real family however unconventional it may seem. I am now 78 and feel very blessed.

I have always appreciated and respected any and all “coming out” stories. I simply see the telling - or rather, the sharing of each story, as a reflection of the storyteller’s personal inner strength; that person’s very bold, brave, shameless move in which that person tells the world that he, she, or them is willing to unapologetically live their truth and live IN their truth. CHECK IT: Sanctify yourself, set yourself free! Always live your truth and live IN your truth. Bravo, Devon... bravo! And as a fellow human being, as a bisexual person of color, and as a member of the LGBTQ community, I thank you for bravely sharing your story. All my best to you, to your future endeavors, and to each and every day of your wonderful and beautiful life. #LGBTQpeopleareLegion

It's terrible that almost every religion condemns gay people to hate themselves, and to be hated by others. Most especially by family members who do it in the name of "love" and "concern" for the gay person. No-one chooses to be gay, and no one can stop being gay, any more than a straight person can stop being straight. Most people have at least a tiny little bit of gay in them, and for straight men, there's nothing worse than admitting that, or God forbid, acting on it and being found out. I'm happy this man was able to come to terms with his reality, and come out relatively unscathed. Beautiful, inside and out.

What a good wqtch. I have been on similar journey. Really resonated with his comment about being a spiritual person and walking away from organized religion. I have done much the same.

A lot of us who went through the great exodus from the church have sustained a great loss from being cut off from all we have known and believed in all our lives because we were born different - through no fault of our own. Regardless of what the world will say, we who were born this way know we were created by the heavenly father just the way we are. One of the things that helped me was hearing that the church lost more from my departure than I did. Most of us who were born different threw everything we were into the church. We worked harder than most of the straight people I know, and we were the glue that transformed people into community. That is why it is so very difficult to have to leave - but there comes a point in time where you must realize that everyone that you have honest love for in the church harbor nothing but hatred and exclusion for you - because of blind faith and church doctrine.

I am always amazed that any gay person can make it to a healthy state in their lives when they start out Mormon. I thought my coming out was tough but it didn't involve religion which to me seems to make it a whole level more difficult no matter what the circumstances.

You’re beautiful inside and out. Kindness glows from you and wish you well as you move through life. If you live honestly, love yourself as well as others, and live to do no harm, what more could any God or faith want - regardless of which religion you were taught.

Oh wow, this where I’m still stuck at. Especially where children are concerned. It was always so easy having girlfriends, however when I tried gay dating...it was not easy. It was very physical and superficial. The expectations from both sides were not natural, it was too much effort. With women, they were always more forgiving? I always figured we could fake it, especially when kids were involved. Lucky for me, since the desire for men was always more physical than emotional, it was a bit easier for me to accept my life. Yeah, it seems like I’ve given up, but all the opportunities were so much easier with women. It was difficult seeking gay men who were both believers in Christ and also gay. Please don’t say I was looking in the wrong places...this was in all areas of life-school, work, church, most social areas. One guy didn’t like that I had so many female friends, a bit harsh since I’ve worked in the teaching profession my adult life. It’s late for me, but if it works for some of you, then that’s great. In the meantime I guess there are many more men like me...many.

Well done Devon. I am not a religious person but I have to say that of the few Mormon gay stories I have seen on youtube, the church must be doing something right because they sure have produced some really decent human beings. I am also aware that LDS are grappling with challenging social issues which conflict with the church's teachings. It will be interesting to see how they go. All the best to you and your family.

Doing something right? Nonsense. Read some if the heartbreaking stories below and you’ll see just how LDS does unforgivable damage to gays. And decent human beings can be produced without any need for religion. Gay Mormons face an incredible struggle. All homosexual sexual activity is condemned as sinful by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in its law of chastity, and the church teaches that God does not approve of same-sex marriage. Adherents who participate in same-sex sexual behavior may face church discipline. Members of the church who experience homosexual attractions, including those who self-identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual remain in good standing in the church if they abstain from same-sex marriage and any homosexual sexual activity or sexual relationships outside an opposite-sex marriage. However, all people, including those in same-sex relationships and marriages, are permitted to attend the weekly Sunday meetings.

Thanks for sharing your story. Many of us who were raised in a conservative religion have a similar story. And it makes me sad and angry to think of the young people going through the same experience and how little has changed. Like you I lost my faith in the church and religions altogether and that truly freed me.
