Nice. I'm glad you made a video coming out. And don't feel uncomfortable needing to share. People have a right over their privacy so you don't have to worry about otherwise.

[@junilieen4745]

hey ryan, i’m usually a quiet commenter but i felt the need to say something after watching this video. i really admire how you can articulate your feelings and be vulnerable on the internet with millions of people. your story touched my heart because all though i’ve never been in a similar situation, i know people who have and it’s never an easy thing to deal with parents like that and i’ve seen the emotional & physical distress it can put someone. and I’m so sorry for all the obstacles in life that you’ve gone through and things that you don’t talk about on the internet and keep to yourself. im a very empathetic and sentimental person so i truly do feel for you and hearing your story touched my heart in the best way possible. im happy you’re healing and finding yourself & going out into nature and doing things that YOU love. even though you don’t know me, or even your supports personally, we’re all proud of you & excited for this new journey of yours. we support and love you ryan❤️

@@Layken_Mungal honestly that's something more people need to realize. It's weird to care about what way adults love other adults. Someone liking the same gender doesn't affect the people who scream from their soap boxes about how it's bad.

Bless your Heart Ryan. You’re such a beautiful person. I loved your story, reminded me of my story to a degree. I love guys, never had a girlfriend. I just have a rapport with certain guys which doesn’t seem relevant to girls. Be proud of yourself for surviving so long. The Best part is ahead for you Ryan.

I'm a 52 year old Gay male Psychotherapist. Believe it or not my story is very similar to yours, even with the age difference. I just want to say that you are a clearly a beautiful human being, and as someone who was also abused as a kid. I just want you to know that you can deal with your pain, and it will get better!!! Much love to you!!!Chad

[@SuperEmoAlpaca]

SO HAPPY FOR YOU CONGRATULATIONS ON COMING OUT (: I came across your video "My Last Message To My Abusive Mother" when it came out, and resonated with it greatly as someone who was also born into a dysfunctional and abusive home with narcissistic parents. Seeing you become the person you are has been so beautiful and inspiring. I hope someday I can achieve that progression. Keep living your best life. Much love and well wishes. Thank you for sharing these stories with us. They have an incredible impact ❤

[@rhondaphipps9533]

I love your story! I also feel so very sad for you. I wish you had better people in your life, you deserve so much more than you have been given. You deserve love and peace and joy in your life.

[@RocioLopez-wi3qc]

I've been following your journey for a while now and, as a member of the lgbt community, this video broke my heart at the beginning so much. It's so unfair that gay people have to fear being themselves for no other reason than hatred. Like you said, you're Ryan. And Ryan happens to be gay, which literally doesn't change anything. You just like men, and that doesn't define who you are, it's just one of the many things that make you, you. But you're a tough guy, you've been through a lot and you're taking the right steps to being free and being yourself, and I'm so proud of your journey and all your hard work. Being yourself and being free is the most rewarding thing in the world. And as the video progressed, I was filled with so much happiness hearing you talk about your new partner. The way your eyes brighten is so heartwarming, you truly deserve the best. Love is something so wonderful and I'm so happy you get to finally experience that, you deserve it. Enjoy it and congratulations on gathering the courage to come out and not let fear and other people's hate dictate your life. You're a champion, enjoy this new stage of your life! Sending lots of love to you.

Unfortunately, this world kinda sucks. Everyone needs to be patient and find their group of friends. Im straight and was around straight people, and nit a lot of them liked me, but i chose to move on and find the best people I've ever met, including my gf who also likes women but im not even slightly weirded out with that because i dont get why I would but ever since I've took my time to find the right people to be with, life has been amazing and im happy that you have found someone you love, Ryan.

Just be careful- all relationships, at the beginning, seem perfect. This may not be forever. Guard your precious heart.

[@Klawsguy]

Every person is different and has feelings. Just because they are not straight does not mean that they are a weird and horrible people. They just have different feelings that`s all. We have to accept them as they are and help them when they need it. The people that don`t understand it and just make fun of them are just not raised right. Everyone from my class is the same, people that just make fun of those who just have different feelings. Every new person coming into this world we have to love them and teach them to be a good person and understand everyone`s feelings. Thank you Ryan for this message. I hope the rest of your life will be wonderful and appealing. And don`t be embarrassed, be your self so you and your boyfriend can have a good life. For those who don`t understand and might be mad at him put your self in his situation and see how you feel. And for the parents of Ryan you are people that do not have good souls and didn`t deserve to have this compassionate and understanding person. See you in the future Ryan. Shoop Doop Out. 💗

Powerful video mate. Thanks for sharing. Almost everyone in my life knows I’m gay/bi except my dad - who has always suspected but as far as I know isn’t sure. I hate having to live in fear for the way we love. This world is upside down. Take care

[@christopherdamien2248]

Our strength, our authenticity and our humanity grow as we grow in our capacity to love, to feel fearlessly and without external constraint, to know ourselves and to experience joy. Love is the door waiting to be opened: It opens onto abundant life. Sexuality, which belongs to the deepest core of ourselves, is the key to that door. Loving and being loved, tenderness and desire are the language of happiness. Happiness is the greatest expression of justice: Happiness -- attained with the totality of our authentic self -- heals the injustices suffered. You, Ryan, deserve happiness. It's an ongoing, life-long process. It makes life precious. We are the story we create for ourselves. Your being gay is a gift. Celebrate.

[@jerrymunroe5593]

Growing up circumstances are similar to mine, although believe it or not I suppressed any gay tendencies I had until I was in my early twenties. Of course we know we are gay from early age, but I was a very angry young man when I realized it and did everything, I could think of to fight it. I am old now but I see myself in you and you are very vulnerable but most likely do not realize it. Be careful as there are predators in the gay world and if you lose your heart to someone who does not love you back, you have lost it for life.
