My Coming Out Story

[@NicholasUcol]

I came across your youtube channel on tumblr as I scrolled down my dash board and this video caught my attention right way. I literally started crying half way through the video because your experience is pretty much identical to what i went through. From the whole losing friends, to coming out then being forced back into the closet and finally coming out junior year of high school. Like There are times you do feel alone but who would have thought that someone could be experiencing the exact same thing somewhere else in the world. This is definitely a very inspiration video.

[@ejignacio6458]

people tend to hate on things they don't understand. Its up to us to be the better individual in those situations. you survived it. your story gives people like me and everyone else who'll find this hope. I'm really happy I found this. thank you

[@juwandeshawn7375]

This video is very genuine. I've already been out of the closet, but this just touched me.

[@scottyarh]

Juwan Deshawn and that's why i love making vids like this (:

As hard and hurtful as it was to be bullied by that kid in the PE locker room, as bad as it felt to you trust me that kid had it much worse. As sure as I am sitting here typing this I can tell you that that kid was not so much bullying you for being gay but bullying himself because he probably has the same gay feelings but deep down inside that scares the shit out of him. Those who bully and hate us the most are usually gay themselves but are locked in their own closet unable to free themselves.

[@alexandervervaet4952]

Honestly, I felt chills running up and down my spine. I feel so much empathy for you because I know a LOT of people that came out, and for some it was similar to your situation. It was hard for me to support some of my friends because they were severely depressed. Their scars are my scars, and I will defend them till the very end. You're an inspiration to those who need this type of support in order to accept themselves for who they are. Thank you :)

[@dkluang]

scotty, im half way through your video and see you getting teary eyed, i am hoping you are no longer at a lonely place, high school is rough. im glad you pulled through and kept swimming, i love you & glad that your here today, wouldn't know what i'd do without you! &know where i am anytime you need a friend, 2 don(n)a's are better than one! xoxo. *sending virtual hugs out to you til i see you*

[@meeks808]

OMG. this was amazing! Thank you for sharing your story as I and many other viewers have gone through the same experiences. Continue to be true to yourself and thank you for sharing that message, "when you start accepting yourself, others will start accepting you!"

[@dominic1297]

God this made me cry so much TT^TT ..it sucks people have to go through with this...but i guess it makes people even stronger 😊 this was very inspiring

[@scottyarh]

+Kyungsoo IS LIFE sorry for making you cry! but i am glad my story can move you (: share if you'd like!

[@davidwoodford3625]

Your story is very touching. Stay strong and know that your friends have your back.

[@kennethng0117]

I can't stop watching this cuz you made me cry.

[@chrischen2103]

my story is exactly like yours, except i didn't actually really know i was gay until right now, gay was always an abstract thing to me. You're an inspiration man.

[@101starwarsfan]

one of the most realistic coming out video that i have seen. I can identify with the loneliness and the rejection and bullying it.

[@ihaiarongonui8003]

nice dude much respect .... you are cute.. wow what a coming out story the best ive seen nice one dude

[@sexyzed]

Thank you got sharing your brutally honest coming out story. You're confidence and your progression is so inspirational. I am from an asian family and am in a similar boat your former self, so your story is really helpful. x

[@musicman6800]

This video was so inspirational. I started tearing up. I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of the things you did. I'm so glad that you can be happy now.

[@0Roydashme]

You and I come from different schools. My high school was like 60% Asian the rest Latino and black. But anyway, I know what it's like too but think about it. We're much better people because of it. We understand pain and struggle, we grew stronger. You're a cool guy Scotty, hope you don't feel like that again

[@MrTennisguy7]

Definitely teared up at some moments, but I'm glad that you made it through those difficult times. Thanks for sharing your story :)

[@isaiahgregory6984]

:) I appreciate your honesty and bravery. It's not in easy thing to tell a story like that. You've inspired +4000 people and counting :)

[@ejhayylanan1126]

I was so touched. Coz' back when I was a Highschool Student. I usually get physically abused like rude stuff punching and whatsoever it is. But I really thank who my true friends are and my family who accepted me.

[@razjaz76]

Hi Scotty! I've found your BooHoo haul video today and have been very impressed by your sense of style (getting some ideas on how to dress my hubby :D) then I've found your coming out video and that made me really love your channel even more. So proud of you for making this video I'm sure it will help others who are in the same situation. Keep doing what you're doing I'm sure in no time you'll get more people watching you and subscribing to you.

[@hebronmicheal1960]

You know you are a very strong and respectful person. So kind personality .

[@ValdemirValerius1]

You are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing!

[@ohitsdannie]

[@ersonthemesa]

[@henthach4414]

[@madisonharless8922]

its ok to cry

[@isaiahgregory6984]

I enjoyed your story!

[@bigbufobufo]

hey Scotty I just watched your coming out video and I felt so bad for you that you got bullied in school. I'm Asian American too and I'm gay too. I didn't get bullied like you did in school but I have experienced some of the rejection from in the gay community like you talked about in your other video. I'm glad that you became a confident person now. I subscribed to your channel now because you are a great inspiration to me! take care man.

[@normenaescalicas2429]

love the video and the story...

[@clonehabbo1124]

This made me tear up so bad, So proud of you Scotty fuck what others say do you booboo!

[@Lc23692]

i just wanted to say thank you so much you help my best friend and he's now getting bullied but this is helping him get through 😢

[@andrewwilliams8638]

I've been going through and watching all your videos. this one touch me the most. I remember being bullied in high school people calling me a fag I give you props for going into the locker room. I failed PE because I flat out refused to go in there after a bad experience. I had friends that did help who I lost contact with since I moved but I still think about. My mom knows she would never except me being in a relationship with a guy so I've been afraid to even try my dad isn't in my life and does not care about me so I'm afraid the most of loosing the one good parent I have. I see where you are in life now past his point and you seem happy I hope to get there someday. Thank you so much for this. posting something this personal isn't something I thought I would do but im glad that I did. I've been thinking of starting a channel and you have encouraged me to do so.

[@donaldstorm4959]

you're really awesome and thanks for sharing your story cheers to you my friend

[@ifsaica]

It was painful hearing your story. I’m so glad you posted your story not just because you are a gay man, but because you’re a gay man of Asian decent. It’s important for other boys to see this and know how to navigate their young lives. For many parents I believe the main reason so many have a difficult time when finding out their child just might be gay is they know how difficult their journey may be. It’s that lifestyle filled with loneliness, mental anguish and self hate that has them fear for their child once they know they are gay. It doesn’t have to be that way. When someone realizes they just might be gay, and with family and friend support will help them deal with their own self-acceptance as they grow in the journey through life. As a teacher whenever I find out a former student has come out as gay, my heart breaks for them, and not because of the fact that they are gay, but because I hope and pray that they have the fortitude and strength to deal with a lot of the crap that is out there. I am proud with how your strength in spirit is moving you forward as you show those around you this what a modern gay man looks like. Stay strong, be well and keep sharing your story. I’m Alex from LA. 💙🙏

[@jerikeguia]

Ohhhh... I love your dad...

[@kiagoking5217]

Woah. That's was mad deep. Can relate to it.

[@dillonpierreiscrazy1]

[@helloadriene]

I'm really glad I found your videos! :) I'm so happy to have good friends that accept me for who I am, but I'm still waiting for the day I tell my mom :/ hopefully it'll be okay!

[@sultanchris]

I wish you the best!

[@SwimmerPrince]

Hmmm... let me guess the music video you mentioned early in the video: BSB - "Quit Playin' Games with My Heart" ? but you don't look as old so.. "98degrees - I Do ( Cherish You)" ?

[@Projektthr33]

That's a tough way to grow up. Sorry you lived through that.

[@RMDestacamento]

hands down :)

[@sxmenchia9483]

Wow, my first time watching an asian coming out video. So encouraging and heart felt...thank you so much for sharing your experience...i was too verbally bullyed. U r beautiful person inside and out. Keep up the great work in video posting...Wish i could HUGZ U at 7.15 :)

[@MutjinNinja]

I'm sorry that people were such shits to you :(. No one deserves that for just being who they are

[@bozumoyo3277]

I know its late now but I promise I would have been your freind and stuck by you. I'm really sorry you had to do that alone...

[@GaldinoSanchez]

I'm proud to be me. whatever people may label me, I'm a bad ass person. if it wasn't my struggles h think I'll be messed up

[@calvinpratama9219]

Thanks you're really inspired me , peace to the world ✌️

[@jonathanbos]

[@TheAdrianMiguelShow]

Nice coming out story man. I love seeing people have the courage to share their story. You should definitely check out my coming out video on my channel.

[@sylvial1985]

This sad story made me connect with you better, this is the human side of you that I see.

[@smjack2]

Found your video today. Very powerful and moving coming out story. Hugs

[@scottyarh]

Sean thanks for taking the time to watch my video! i'm glad my story can touch you. hugs back!

[@sultanchris]

❤️

[@jeremiahgreen6780]

It honestly touches my heart for people who come out, I just wish I could do the same. I come from a family and a town where being gay or anything other than straight is frowned upon. Also to make matters worse I'm African American in a community that is predominately white and racist. So I already get bullied for my skin color. I've been bullied my hole life even till this day, and I'm a sophomore. I've lost friends who have betrayed me and joined other kids in the bullying. The bullying was so bad I had to hide in a cabinet under a drinking fountain. One day I hope to have a life where I'm free to be who I am, and love who I want to love. But until that day I just need a friend.

[@yazminroman4626]

both this video & your comment touch my heart

[@l0ndon429]

[@stormc14]
