My Coming Out Story- From a Gay Wrestler

[@LUckybones25]

Being gay today is easy compared to how it was in the 80s & 90s. You’re gorgeous, and I wish you the best.

[@q2breath]

@@Nikes62 Seriously!? Nothing changed!??

[@globalfunrun9306]

The 60'S were far worse than the 80s and 90s. It was totally unacceptable then and almost no one came out. It was in the 70s a lot of people started coming out and acceptance was starting to take place.

[@oakpkdude]

@@Nikes62 No. YOU'RE wrong. Being gay is so much easier today than it was in the 70's and 80's. Of course homophobia still exists but back then it was MUCH worse. Today many more people are accepting of gay people but back in the 80's most gay people were closeted. My mother commented to me how there are so many more gay people these days. I laughed and said, "No mom, you just know about more of them. You used to think Rock Hudson, Raymond Burr and J. Edgar Hoover were straight".

[@oakpkdude]

@@Nikes62 Not legally. www.cnn.com/2020/06/15/politics/supreme-court-lgbtq-employment-case/index.html?form=MY01SV&OCID=MY01SV Back in the day they could outright tell you that you're fired because you're gay. I realize that there are ways to skirt the law just as many companies do with age discrimination but if caught they can be sued. That did not used to be the case.

[@markgrange7786]

Tell that to the gays and trans being legally refused live saving operstion in alabama and those still being assulted or killed on the streets in hate crimes

[@henrykole7943]

I literally told my mom I was gay right after this video I just wanted to say thank you so much for inspiring me to tell my mom 😊😊😃😃

You seem very sincere and honest and I hope you never lose those qualities. They are very difficult to find in our culture today.

[@riccardo50001]

Such a handsome (cute) young man!!! It's touching to hear these tales of young poeple facing their families and society with the truth about their identitieds and so revealing of society and the church's resistence to sexual variety. Thanks for doing this!!!

[@warrenpaine]

Since your sexual orientation is not a choice and doesn't change, you made the only rational choice of accepting yourself as you are. Hope you have a happy and wonderful life. Thanks for making this video to help others like us.

[@marka7888]

I remember watching this 3 years ago, and it sure did help me

[@indysigns]

Great story. You were so brave to come out at your age. A lot of time has past since this video. Hope all is well. Can you make a updated video to let us know how you are doing?

[@dittellforthewin]

I completely understand where you're coming from. I was a state medalist in wrestling in high school. People were extremely homophobic. People gave me hell once for wrestling someone in a match from another school who was gay. What they didn't know was that some of our team mates were gay and bi until they came out in college. I remember losing to one of them my sophmore year too. Hey, keep doing you and enjoy wrestling. It's one of the oldest sports around!

[@LenHealsU]

Congratulations Justice on your courage and fortitude with your coming out story. I'm sure it has inspired many Gays in similar situations, including me! I'm quite a bit older than you, when coming out prior to 1980, when I was in my teens and 20s, it was much more dangerous to do so back then, for a variety of reasons. And yes, it is NOT a choice, no more than being right handed or left handed is a choice. I was (uncomfortably) living a double life. To this day, I still have 1 foot jammed in the closet, but your video, as well as some other similar coming out videos, have given me the courage to come out to two long time close Straight friends last week, and another one I plan to do very soon. Justice, you're a beacon of Light and an angel sent from up above. :)

[@MyTimeOutt]

Your unvarnished honesty will serve as an inspiration for men who have been married for many years & are being forced to finally reveal who they are to their wives...all of whom have been hiding in plain sight the entire time of their marriage.

[@JayArgentBooks]

Great story. Thanks for sharing it! So proud of you.

[@ParkerUnlimited2]

Coming out gay as a high school wrestler is very brave. Take it from me, wrestling is/can be a very homophobic sport. I find wrestling interesting cus you have wrestlers and coaches doing and saying gay things, but then will turn around and call someone a fag who's doing the same thing. I'm willing to bet that there are a lot of gays on high school and college wrestling teams and too afraid to come out. Same goes for football players. Overall, you're very brave and you have more balls than anyone on your team. Cheers mate! :D

[@genesisledezmine5694]

I completely agree with you Chris Parker.

[@curanderotango]

You are the type of Gay person that make us all feel proud of being who we are!!... I wish you a very happy and successful life!!... God bless you!!...

[@genesisledezmine5694]

I am very proud of you for being so brave, especially as a gay athlete. I know and understand the pressure that comes with being a gay athlete. I’m a high school football coach and I am also a dad. I had to deal with being a gay athlete in high school, football as well as track and field were my sports. I was raised by my grandmother and I was also raised in the Baptist Church where I was a faithful member and very active in my church. I spent most days of my life as a kid feeling like I had no purpose, I also felt as though I could never be accepted or loved because of my lifestyle considering all of the hateful comments that I use to hear from others about the gay community. I struggled with coming out in high school and nobody knew that I was in a discreet relationship with a popular basketball player for the last two years of high school. He went on to play college basketball and I went on to college running track and achieving a degree in music education. I often thought of him and wished that I could still have him in my life but we separated in order to focus on college and to work on our personal growth. I came out to my family while in college after coming out to my friends and fellow athletes. I can honestly say it was not as bad as I thought it would be. lol Though I am single at this point in my life I have an amazing son who is very supportive of me and a family who has finally learned to accept me. I actually had the opportunity to reunite with my ex boyfriend from high school when he surprised me by showing up to my graduation when I received my masters degree. He is in a relationship with a guy and he plays pro basketball in Europe. Justice, thank you so much for sharing your story. I pray that life will treat you kind and I wish you the most success in life. I am very happy that I found your story. I have subscribed to your channel. ♥️

[@SomeGuy-xn4ub]

Coming out in today's society is so much easier than it was in the " Good Old Days" . I'm now 65 years old and I'm Gay. No biggie* you say. Well, there is no way that I could tell my parents or any other members of my family that I'm gay, it would absolutely devistate my Father and my Mother ( God rest her soul) would be spinning in her grave, there would be no compassion or kind words for a troubled and confused young boy to be had from anybody. As for my siblings, I couldn't imagine the turmoil it would cause, just more shame and mental anguish to be piled on my younger self. As it is, for me to lead the lifestyle of being a Gay man, I actually had to move states so I could be honest with myself and be that Gay Man I've kept hidden for nearly half my life. I'm still not totally confident enough to be "Out of the Closet" to all the people I know, only a few of my closest friends know who I really am. It might be easy for the younger generations to come out in today's world but believe me, growing up in a small country town and admitting to being Gay would have only lead to ridicule and abuse. To be "Out" in the 60s 70s and so forth, would more than likely lead to getting bashed by school mates, which did happen, and no teacher would even consider giving me the help and understanding I so craved. And the sadest of it all is that no one, not even my Mother would be there to help me with my pain and suffering. Today, if you youngen's want to Come Out, just go for it, you have any number of social aid's to help you with your journey of life Gay or however you identify. Just go for it and enjoy the journey that we all so richly deserve. With all of my heart, I wish you all the best of luck and happiness in your amazing life's adventure that lies before you.
