This is what happens when two matured and well resolved people,showing their most intimate true,sharing their lives and bringing the confidence to a lot of youngsters who are searching for what to do with their problems and doubt’s. I thank you both in behalf of them.Love you guys so much, from Brazil.

[@beastscooter]

Two things I've observed recently in my travels; there are plenty of gay couples out and about, and fewer people smoking cigarettes. Both really good things.

[@peterandtekky]

Yes! Just being able to see more gays around makes others more comfortable 😊😊

[@edward_myc]

It's a really difficult experience in general but listening to Peter and Tekky's experiences are very comforting in the sense that it's nice to know that you're not alone, thanks for sharing ❤ Advice that I've heard from people is that try to be independent (financially, living situation etc) that way if things go south you have a contingency plan

[@peterandtekky]

Yes definitely! And each individual knows their situation best, personal safety should always be front of mind!

[@platinum_oh1]

This is a really enjoyable video. You are both very genuine and likeable…and super cute. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos and following your KZbin journey xx

[@peterandtekky]

Thank you such a supportive comment! We’re still trying to figure out how to record, edit, etc. + figure out what type of content to do! Hopefully it gets better😅

[@calvind2054]

I’ve noticed when a gay kid who has feminine traits, especially strong feminine traits, parents and sometimes other adults that are family members will tell a male child how to sit, walk or not do things with their hands or arms not to do that and attempt to correct it. Heard this a lot with coming out stories. Peter said he was told about making expressions with his hands when playing the piano. Typical reaction it seems, more common than realized.

[@peterandtekky]

Sadly it is, there's expectations of how people should behave, when does it really matter? Hopefully more people will realise it doesn't matter and just let people be how they are - most importantly, just be kind where you can!

[@jaesun4418]

Yes, it happens to one of my cousins too and we're young back then so I couldn't say or defend him but I'm glad his mom is supportive but I don't know about his dad but so far I heard lately that he has a gf. I wanted to talk to him but we are in different country now, I just wish I could talk to him that it's okay and one day he can be open to talk to any of us.

[@Kostus77]

I love the thoughtful content you guys put out. Like how ADHD affects your relationship. Thanks for opening up and telling your stories

[@peterandtekky]

Thanks for watching and for supporting! Hopefully we can put more content out there about ADHD also

[@bryanblackburn5516]

Thank you for sharing you're personal experiences. I can identify with most of them, some things about being gay are universal. Now that I have subscribed I look forward to more of you're fascinating content 🫂

[@peterandtekky]

Thank you so much for the support 😍 hope to bring you better content soon 😊😊😊

[@SASSY_SAMMIE]

Damn this is the reality for so many of lgbtq individuals including myself it was very tough growing up always had to put up an act 😢😢😢

[@peterandtekky]

It is! But know it's okay to be yourself, there's a huge community of us out here, and change IS coming (even if its a bit slow)

[@chetanvinayak6799]

The "no" to the question of a private browser...you two are so adorkable.

[@peterandtekky]

hes a bit silly hey :P

[@cathay35k]

Thank you for sharing the stories which shed some light on coming out in Asian families. By the way, I'm curious about how you both met and have been together, and also who is better at handling conflicts (if any 😅). Super excited for the next episode!

[@peterandtekky]

Thank you for watching and supporting! And thank you also for the content requests, we'll put it on the list to put something out that answers all of these questions

[@SASSY_SAMMIE]

Thank you for sharing this ❤ love yall so much

[@curlylast8121]

Thank you for sharing your experiences and I'm glad you feel you can be your authentic selves. I remember the day as if it were yesterday when I came out to my (now late) mother, it was on her birthday back in 1993, I was 32. Her reaction was priceless. She said, "It is about bloody time you said something, here I was thinking you are not having any fun in life!" Of course, she knew all along, probably my participation in ballet, figure skating and a complete lack of (romantic) girlfriends in my life probably gave the game away. Some years later after I met my boyfriend from Đà Lạt, who is now my partner, my mother absolutely loved him and treated him like her own son; his parents treat me like their own son too.

[@s.banhmi]

@@curlylast8121 I would love to hear your story. What you experienced sounds like love and it’s beautiful. Wish you both a lifetime together 🩵

[@lindamedina1447]

Guys this was an absolutely amazing video. I am learning a lot from this. Many thanks and keep up the amazing videos 😊😊😊😊😊.

Interesting and informative.

[@peterandtekky]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@buddybell7076]

I also had the parent disappearing for an hour experience.

[@Squirel]

Very touching video. Thank you for sharing.

[@siukauliu1151]

When I was a child play female toys, my mom already know I am gay. But my father and his side relatives couldn’t believe that. After I came out, my father was so upset and locked me in the room about a month. I am afraid of Chinese family about telling my sexuality.

[@пвапамсмс]

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I wish everything goes well for you.❤If it is dangerous, it may be better not to come out but to distance yourself from your family.

[@pete84101]

I like Peter’s jade necklace

Impressive, serious, sensitive, and quite healthy. would have dated either one (I'm Caucasian)

[@peterandtekky]

Aww thank you 🤩

[@RodMcPherson-n2u]

Thank you. How do you handle negative reactions? Are you reacting as an Australian or as an Asian?

[@peterandtekky]

In the context of family, reacting as an asian i would say, in the context of friends, as an australian. Dealing with negative comments, its very situational, if its family, often they can come around to it, so a bit more patience may be required, but with friends, if they dont accept, are they the type of people we want to be around? But its so situational and dependent on your personal circumstances - just know there’s a big amazing supportive community out here also, it sometimes just takes time to find them 🙂

[@crobert75]

Very good video

[@emiliehmij7549]

❤❤❤

[@MrDominicBrant]

Really sad about preparing to be dropped by your family. I was kind of hoping my awful family would drop me lol

[@peterandtekky]

What do u mean hoping they would drop you? 😮 as in it was a bad thing it didnt happen? 😢

[@MrDominicBrant]

It's very, very sad, but my parents were not good. I was hoping they'd drop me so I didn't have any reason to be associated with them. As it goes, they remained in contact but disowned everything about me unless it was something good - then they claimed the credit - awards, trophies, high grades, career. My then bf was hidden from the neighbours, family, church: 'He's not coming to your brother's wedding is he?' Thankfully my brother has always been perfect: 'Of course he's coming, he's with Dominic, why wouldn't he come?'@@peterandtekky

[@kusan858]

curious HOW 8-9yrs old you , know you are gay at this age. were you in anyway expose to a gay living environment or abused sexually by a male ?

[@s.banhmi]

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing an experienced that is intimate. This truly gave me hope that mature love exist in the gay community 🩵 thank you
