Repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.

[@veraguillory4480]

Lord Jesus loves yall, Satan wants yall bad, Lord God and Lord Jesus wants us to repent, get baptized, and humbly ask Lord God to receive his Holy Spirit. Satan wants both of yall, the Holy Spirit and Lord Jesus will help yall from hell. Watch Revelation of Jesus Christ pastor Wally Werks and Elizabeth his wife. Dave Bryan for Satan's reasons to take us to hell, life is spiritual Erica and Tim from Africa she worshipped Satan and came out with Lord God help.

This video has helped me feel better with myself. I am in middle school and i am unlabeled but I know I like girls and boys. This makes me feel so happy. I love you and Your relationship is ADORABLE. 💗🏳️‍🌈

[@KimberlyGreen]

Paradox: coming out usually involves looking inwards. I'm glad you're finding joy in who you are. I hope it continues forever.

[@AlixTraeger]

yes!! I was saying today that it feel more like a coming IN❤

[@koolinthegang77]

So, happy for you Alix, that you finally found the path of life that makes you happy., I remember, seeing old videos of you, and (at that time) your eyes didn’t look happy, but Now you’ve come full-circle and are at a place that you are so happy.. You have given me inspiration to do the same in my life. And I’ve come to conclusion to do the same and change my life.

[@AlixTraeger]

ty!!! ❤❤❤

[@katryanaorange2092]

Hey, koolinthegang :) how's life? A year later gimme an update!!!

Label or not we love you no matter what! The energy that you have is immensely huge and we just couldn't get enough of it. You as alix has put out so much of love and happiness out into the world and now is the time you get back some with the person you love. Challenges may come your path to happiness but with the support and love from all of us,your family, and zoya, I'm sure you can conquer all. Sending you all the love babe from all the way from Malaysia, hope it reaches soon🤣🤣🤣.

[@breathebeloved]

I just saw you on your girlfriend's channel shorts. I hadn't seen your content pass on my fyp in well over a year, and I'm so grateful to see you now, spreading this wholesome content. Thank you for your visibility and honesty. Thank you for your presence.

[@kittensgregorio3171]

I was crushing on you since waaaaaaay back when you were still in Buzzfeed, I recall waving my fists at the heavens wishing “Dear God please let her be gay” and years later here you are, happy that you’ve found your love and found yourself and ultimately found your happiness in acceptance of yourself. You and Zoya make a beautiful couple 🌈❤️

[@isabellayorkman2]

Omg same though?!?!?

Thank you soo much . I had been really struggling with "labelling" myself and u made me realise that i don't have to . Lots of love 💕

[@samsouyave-murphy986]

I know I’m supposed to give a comment saying how happy for you I am and how much I support you (I am and I do), but the thing I wanted to say most was how cute your dog is!! Ok, now I’ll return to just being supportive of you. :)

[@pineapple3442]

i'm soo late but as a person who struggles with labels i really really relate to your experience and i appreciate you for talking about that because its really comforting to see that its fine to not have a particular label. thank you

[@missMiracle7]

Alix you’re also glowing right now than couple years ago seeing you on this channel. Prettier and confidently! Love you 😘

[@luzymartinez2838]

THERES NO WAY BC I WATCHED U ON TASTY FOREVERRRRRRRRR with the biggest crush thinking "damn can't believe a straight girl is doing me in" but you're telling me subconsciously i KNEW smth was up......... god bless

[@grimthanatos7350]

Whenever I felt society wanted to pressure me into a label, I'd always remind myself that the only things labels were good for is canned goods.

[@claramelissamusica]

I love you so much Alix! I follow your Journey on food but also you as a person. Such a great person and right now you are glowing 👑☀️💐 Blessings!

[@theminsterlad]

Alix, It's great to see a young lady sounding so positive about her journey. It's amazing that you have a supportive family and friend network. If you'd been my daughter, I'd have been so PROUD to help you celebrate your life and choices. Keep being you, sbd bringing smiles, fun and love to us all. God bless your heart my lovely. Mark in East Kent, England 💕🙏 xx

[@pretty5793]

Omg! I am so glad you are happy with Zoya. Both of you are beautiful! I am glad it worked out for you. I know some that had their parents cut them off due to their identity. It always breaks my heart when families are broken on silly social issues! So happy for you both! Good luck!

[@reneelynn1964]

Congratulations Alix. I know you feel free. I am glad you shared it with us. This video will save lives.

[@terrybritt5620]

Alix, bless you and thank you for sharing your story. It's so important to find that courage to talk about personal journeys because that courage can spread to others and support their well-being. I know this because I had a different kind of struggle and eventual resolution - opening up in 2013 about being a child abuse and child rape victim, and decades of depression and suicide ideation stemming from those horrid experiences. In the nine years that have followed, I became the first Ph.D. in my family history, just opened my present department of communication's first research laboratory, and have been active in suicide prevention campaigns on college campuses. Like you, lighting the journey's path for many others.

[@jayg1316]

This was the most interesting and different coming out story I've seen. It seemed more like an opening up than a coming out.

[@piperfulton5547]

Thank you for sharing this with us. I’m 20 and in a similar boat where I know I’m queer (wlw) but don’t love all the labels. Your story really resonated with me and brought me comfort in my own coming out journey❤️❤️❤️

[@AlixTraeger]

❤❤❤

[@palomalev2783]

You're amazing Alix! Thank you so much for continuing to share your journey with such openness, courage & vulnerability!

[@TraumaMomma]

I simply identify as queer. I didn't "come out" until my late 40s and divorced a man after 26 years of toxic marriage.

[@AlixTraeger]

love that ❤❤

[@_purple_9995]

I've always watched your old videos and including the Tasty ones aswell. It's good too see that your growing as a person and that you're getting better.

[@as1y4]

So proud of you!! Sending you lots of hugs!!

[@u140550]

Is it only me, but miss her long form videos. Glad she’s been out. It’s interesting rewatching this.

[@charlesblack1086]

Thank you for sharing your story. It’s very important to show everyone love is love. 🙋🏽‍♂️😊❤️

[@isaacrosenthal2372]

I just saw this video. I am also queer (technically bisexual) and came out during lockdown as well. It was honestly very freeing. I'm glad you're a part of my community.

You're awesome Alix, superpowers to you!!

[@joannaflanagan2006]

We love you too, Alix! And we all love Zoya! So happy for you!

[@sredding878]

Thank you for this video. Your story is so similar to me and my asexuality. When I opened myself up to the idea of me being ace, all of these memories flooded back foreshadowing what I would later discover. I never came out, just because I personally haven’t seen the need for it. Obviously, being ace is very different from being queer, but I found your video nonetheless helpful and relatable. Anyway, thanks and have a great day! :)

[@lightrose01]

I really loooove your energy on your youtube videos! Please keep posting :) I always feel calm after watching

[@CruzCruz-nw7fi]

You’re a very emotionally mature lady ❤👏

[@madimoe8331]

I ended up back in my childhood bedroom at 27 too. I realized i was gay. What a shock. Still havent told anyone. Maybe someday.

[@divya7761]

I'm a little late but thank you so much for sharing your story, I just needed to hear this 💕 "The old alix is dead" has me dead 😭

[@Harleequin78]

You are a ray of sunshine and always will be 🌞

[@JennSarracenia]

Same thing happened to me! Was “bi” for 20 years. Finally went on this last date with an amazing dude - super sexy fit smart, into the same things I was, and I just didn’t feel anything and I didn’t want to be anything more than friends. Took me 20 years to realize I’m a lesbian after coming out! 😂

[@Bingo-yj9pg]

I wish I could be this open about being a gay guy it's embarrassing

[@JennSarracenia]

​@@Bingo-yj9pg What's embarrassing? Being gay is sexy as hell! :D

[@iamandreinabordas]

Such a best video! Love your energy! Thanks for sharing your story. I’m glad you had a positive reaction from your family 😊

[@88ashjen]

No one should have to explain anything. It shouldn’t be assumed anyone is anything. I hope when my kids are older and if they are LGBTQ they just live their lives as normal and never feel like they have to explain what they love in life. Anyways good for you for living your best life unapologetically and I hope all others in this position can find that support and strength.

[@jujucaill608]

happy for you Alix !

[@megano9598]

she’s back and better than ever💘💘

[@lucymorningstar7042]

I'm still trying to figure out my sexuality I haven't tried dating women so I think I will give that a shot I'm almost 30 and I am still trying to figure out who I am as a person to be honest I haven't really experimented or tried anything new so I want to try new things and try to finally figure out who I am.

[@elektracity205]

Same

[@AlixTraeger]

love that!

[@caitlinkeating8177]

You are 1000000% right when you say everyone is a little gay. I like to say everyone is fluid. I truly don't think gender and sexuality are black and white AT ALL. If the world would just accept that part of themselves and others, it would be such a wonderful place!

[@Sue-i3d]

Alix Traeger you ROCK!!!

[@heyhlm]

Congratulations on following your joy!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@himajaalvakonda4765]

you're awesomeee💛💛

[@Netta_Ilany]

Thanks for sharing your journey! Every story someone puts out there for the world to see can, and does, save lives. Representation is important, and living your best life authentically and unapologetically is the best way to show the people who need to see it, that it is okay to just be you. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

[@veronicaaristeguieta3072]

Thanks for this video because I’m a struggling adult, I guess figuring out the gender part was pretty easy but it still took me a while to come out and actualize myself as a woman, but now I’m a junior in college at a small liberal arts college and I’m realizing again I’m so gay!! And this time despite the numerous times and labels I’ve given myself it feels a lot more emotional and intense. I think I need to go back home to Seattle and just be gay there and go to some lesbian bars and kiss some girls to really help me figure it out (even though women intimidate me sometimes because so pretty and I have so much anxiety over just asking a girl out). Anyway so glad I found your channel/platforms through the Made it Out podcast and Mal.

[@woolfel]

you be you! I turned 50 this year and I'm still learning about myself. US culture is too judgemental with a ton of expectations about how we're supposed to be. A lot of it is left over baggage from religion and how it was used to control people. I'm inspired by younger generation pushing back against a lot of this cultural BS.
