I am a 62 year old mother. My daughter came out to me when she was 14. I remember her crying so hard. I asked her what was wrong and she said she was afraid to tell me. I told her no matter what it was that it would be ok and that I would love her. So she finally told me she was gay. I said ok and gave her a big hug and told her that I l still loved her. She asked me why I wasn't mad at her. I told her you love who you love. Her and her wife live with me now and she is 36. I wish all parents would be excepting and supporting of their children when they come out to them. I have known many gay couples since my early 20's and have always been supportive. You love who you love!

In coming out to my brothers in the early 80's---my parents were already dead --- I had opposite reactions. One was negative and is still in that frame of mind. However my other brother with a strong Christian faith said something I will cherish to the day I die. He simply asked me, in a long distance phone call, if I was gay. I was terrified of admitting to the truth. I took a deep breath and said "yes I am". I waited for the explosion and he said -- " If you ever want to bring a friend or a partner home, he will be more than welcomed in my house". There was a long pause and then I burst into unbelievable tears. There were no other words that could have been said that would have made me feel more acceptable. The words have had an enormous effect on me and my life. He has since died but his memory lives on in my mind -- etched forever. There are good people in this world!!! Thank you both for your videos and showing how a family should live.

I too am African and gay. There is nothing my abusive father can do that he hasn't done already. You're not a kid anymore and you don't have to care what your parents think if you find their opinions unhealthy. What do YOU think of yourself as a person? Your own resolution to succeed in life is far more important than your parents' distorted perception of 'gay'. Just because your parents are important, doesn't mean they understand the important issues in your life. And assuming they don't, sounds like you have other important people to fall back on.

Thank you for sharing your coming out stories. What an inspiration. I am a 64 year old man who came out two years ago. I can understand the liberation and freedom after acknowledging being gay. I was married 25 years until my wife passed in 2002. I raised four sons to adulthood. They are amazing young men and they know that I am gay. They just want me to be happy. I too grew up in a conservative church and even pursued the ministry . I raised my family in the church. I had gay feelings but they were buried. I know all about the churches teaching on homosexuality and how sinful they claim it is. I got hurt very badly by the Christian Fundamentalist Church time and time again. I have left the church and do not wish to return. I have been the happiest these last two years after coming out in my life. Yes there are still some struggles that must be over come but it is liberating to be myself.

He constantly talks to me about how he feels as if he is not himself. When he came out to me he was crying and looking at him I could feel how important it was for him. We sat and talked about whatever he had in his mind and I told him that I will always be his best friend and support him no matter what. Your story truly touches my heart.

I enjoyed a Cristian Faith thinking that Jesus can take this gay filing a way fro me, yan make me a new straight guy , and I had really derp relationship with God and Christian people embraced me "love" me the first years then every changes cause they were realizing that I was kind of gay, then star bulling me in church, offended me and making me feel I don't belong there, so then my live goes down , so there's no friends, thetes no brothers in Christ there's no family so its so hard.

The great thing is that you are able to proudly express the love that is so evident in your relationship. Stone and Holland, when they are adults themselves, will have the most wonderful foundation of love to take with them.

Thank you! It's wonderful to share our stories, thank you both for sharing yours! My story mirrors Dustin's in many ways, I was very involved in church from a young age, thinking God would "heal" me . I came out to my parents at the end of my junior year in high school, my mother was great, however my father was more cruel than usual. I ended up moving out of the house in January of my senior year and then moving from Northern New York to Southwestern Michigan a year after graduation. In 1977, a year after I moved to Holland, MI, I met the love of my life, a tall, blond, handsome Dutchmen, Robert DeRyder! We lived a wonderful life in our little brick house with an English garden. Unfortunately Bob died in the hospital after a motorcycle crash as we were on our way to a family reunion in NY in 1987. My world became a very dark horrible place. In those days it was illegal for 2 men to even cohabitate, let alone be married. After Bob's death, his parents took everything, his clothes, the house, his car, everything. I fell hard. I ended up quitting my job as the manager of a family lakeside resort to work at a gay resort in Saugatuck, MI as the bar manager - and became totally immersed in the gay party lifestyle. After 10 years at the resort and 3 really horrible relationships, I quit, moved to Grand Rapids and ended up retiring from a large retailer where I was an international food buyer for 10 years. One more failed relationship, being diagnosed with emphysema and some severe mental health issues I went on disability and I moved back to my hometown to be near my mom, where I still live with my new love, the Adirondack Mountains! There's my story. 10 glorious years with Bob made the rest worth it. Cherish each day with Holland & Stone and with each other! Know that you present a positive & loving picture to all that view your channel! Be well, be safe, be happy! 🧡

I am a follower of Christ and I truly believe that God has brought you guys together (Mark 10:9). I believe that true love is beyond gender and that it's more about heart and soul and that's what I see in both you guys when I watch your videos of your family. I truly believe that being attracted to the same sex internally is not a mistake or a burden and that you are destined for Hell. I strongly disagree with that! God does have perfection and knew the plans for us when He created us. With that being said, Dustin is right. Having a desire to being with the same gender romantically is not a mistake from God. Be the child that He wants you to be. Let His Will be done

They all go to some sort of revival, and from the very beginning, when his eyes meet those of the guest pastor, he knows he is seen and revealed.

It's amazing how you can be wrong about your fathers. I imagined my coming-out to be full of conflict, since my parents were older (so to speak, from a different time, my father is from 1939, my mother from 1942). I was particularly worried about my father as he has a clear black and white way of thinking on many subjects (something can only be right or wrong, there is no in-between). When I finally told them, all my mother and father said was: "Live your life as you see fit. All that matters is that you are happy, whether with a woman or a man by your side. Just take care of yourself and find the right person for a relationship." On the one hand I was extremely relieved, on the other hand I was totally irritated because I never expected such an answer. That's a long time ago, when LGBT+ wasn't accepted by society like it is today. Even if many fathers don't say or show it that often, they too love their children with all their hearts and they too want to see their children happy. I think it's also a generational issue. I find Dustin's experiences so awful. Religion and belief in God must not look like this, so that one breaks one's children. I am happy for you that everything has turned out well and that your families see that being gay is not a bad thing and that a gay man can also achieve his goals in life. Tolerance should be talked about much more often in the churches.

Dustin & Burton, You guys are absolutely amazing. I know me, a single viewer, probably doesn't mean too terribly much to y'all hahah but you're perfect! I "officially" came out to my grandma in 2018, I had just turned 17 and was going into my senior year and when I say "officially" I mean everyone in my family kind of already knew but we just didn't talk about it. I was so scared of what she was going to say and how she was going to react because she was the person that raised me so she matters the most to me. The feeling of not knowing wether or not someone you care so much about is going to accept you for just being who you are is so scary. When I told her I remember she said "do you think that's going to make me love you any less?" and it made me cry and feel almost stupid for thinking she would. My mom didn't really raise me growing up and she does not accept the fact that I am Gay, and has not spoken to me in 2 years (i.e. since my HS Graduation in 2019) and it does hurt but then I think about all of the other people in my life, my best friends, my family and how much everybody supports me, it almost feels like I don't care what my mom thinks of me. That is NOT going to stop me from being who I am and eventually raising my own family. I know this is a long ass comment lmao but I really felt compelled to tell you my story (briefly...I know how could it be longer than this?) because now being 20 I was thinking about when I had come out...and I wish I had role models like you both. I strive to be as confident and self loving as the two of you are! You mean so much to so many people! Your family is absolutely beautiful! all love

Same feeling here, this thinv will never happen in my life. Its not possible to get married with same sex here in my country. All I wish is to have kids in the near future! I want to adopt a child in Gods perfect time. Yes, getting married is one thing every one of us dreamed for, build our own families and have children. Thats one of our missions in this world. But I do believe, I can be a parent too without a partner it seems hard but I hope that would easier for me in the future to have kids all alone!

I cried! So many of us have been through the same thing. I relate more to Burton's story. I told my Mama at the age of 18 and she replied, "Your dad and I always knew, we just wanted you to be honest with yourself". They always loved me for me and never judged. I am now 58 years old and have been with my husband (who's a beautiful 71 years young) going on 16 years. Married for 14 years. I grew up in South Carolina in a small town in Lancaster, SC. I moved to California in 1986 to SF to find myself. Keep making your videos as you're teaching others about who we are, human beings. Love and blessings to you both and your beautiful kids.

Gentlemen, I do not have the words to express what this video means to me. I wanna thank you for doing what you do, and sharing your story and life in this way. As someone who is both queer and Christian and has to hide this from my family, I've been struggling in a bad place these past two weeks, and discovering your channel tonight was like a sign from God. Seeing these slices of life from your sweet family's day to day lives is so unbelievably encouraging and reassuring and exactly what I needed to see tonight. Things really DO get better and if you're true to yourself and keep going, you will find your people and you will get through the dark tunnel. Wishing you guys and your adorable kids the very best in future, and once again, thank you for sharing your story- hope you know the difference you two are making ❤

This brought tears to my eyes as I recalled growing up and coming out gay in what was then a conservative, apartheid South Africa. Regimental and unforgiving! The struggles of falling for someone in a society that prohibited and shunned. Knowing I was different at a very young age, but not what that ‘different’ meant. My first crush, first kiss and horrible break ups hurt badly. No role models and very little guidance on coming out. Dawson’s Creek made me feel a little more confident too as I navigated through my day to day challenges. The ups, the downs, were intense. My family fully supported my coming out, my mom was just the best, my dad on the other hand was tougher, but he came to and after a few years he even told my boyfriend and I we should really just sleep in the same bed when visiting. I think this was his way of saying, I accept you, I love you. My relationship with my dad was now open, transparent and understanding and he would wait on the driveway when he knew I was coming to visit them, always excited to see me. We became super close and spent a lot of time doing things together. Unfortunately, I separated in 2009 from my long term partner of 8 years, and a few months later lost my hero, my dad, to cancer. I was shattered and felt completely alone again, but had to be strong and keep things together for my mom & sister. However, that same year, I was destined to meet someone new. Now happily married to him, the best guy in the world, eleven years ago he walked into my life and never went home after that very first night. We immigrated to the USA in December of 2019 to start up a new life here in the USA. Always by each other’s side, we have accomplished so much together. I want to be a dad, but think at 44 I might now be too old for this. Just want to give you a shout out, tell you I watch all your content and think you guys are amazing. You are an inspiration to all of us out there, especially for guys around our age. Your sincerity and love echoes in everything you do. You now have a home-grown South African fan living in the USA! With much love & respect, Travis

At 44 you're not too old... maybe for babies... have you thought about foster children? There are so many kids and teenagers looking for a home. Gay couples can also give these children a great home.

Thank you for sharing. As a gay man it has been tough and having you two express your love for your family and for each other is a blessing to see. I grew up Jehovah Witness and my parents are very involved in the church. They don’t agree with me because I am gay. But that’s ok.... thanks for being so vulnerable with all of us. Dustin and Burton you have helped me so much. XOXO

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I must say it's been very enlightening and gave me better insight as to how to support my brother. He came out to me and my mom some time ago. And ever since then I've been reading and educating myself and my 13year old daughters on how to better support him. As my mom and other siblings did not take it so well. Subscribing and watching all your videos I'm in the process of systematically explaining and making my mom understand that he is still her son, that nothing has changed and that we can't let "society" dictate to us what is right and what is not. And Dustin's quote just explained it so easily. That God don't make mistakes. Thank you so much for having the courage to share your story. You are an inspiration to so so many, whether it's the gay community or straight.

What an inspiring video. I came out four times to my mom in college years, once a year. She never believed me and thought I didn’t pray enough and demon was possessing me. My brother, who is also gay, said he will carry the secret to the grave. My husband and I just celebrated our 4th anniversary and my 30th birthday last month. Both of us have successful careers and friends that love us tremendously. We are planning to purchase our first home by the beach this year and hopefully kids in the near future. The thought that so many out there still thinking gay people aren’t capable of normalcy is saddening. I soon realize those whom lack of acceptance won’t make us miss the milestones in life but only they will miss ours. The Buffalos is what my husband and I work very hard towards to and hoping one day to make the dream come true. Your videos are reassuring the community that we are able to build a sustainable family, instill family value, and create legacies. As more LGBT parents having kids, we are closer to normalize to become “families” than “gay families”.
