[@HeatherBoydWire]

As the old adage says, you cannot please all of the people all of the time! You guys are beautiful souls and spreading much inspiration through your videos. Bravo.

[@trinidreamer85]

Visibility so helps, keep doing what you all are doing! Sending Happy Easter greetings from the Caribbean :)

[@davidmccann1951]

love you guys so much, Happy Easter

[@dahtalmichaels7548]

Hey B & P I can't speak for anyone else, but the impact you have made in my life is HUGE. I have no real friends, and before I found your channel I felt alone all the time, but watching your videos is like having two amazing friends. you make me smile, and you help me learn to like being gay. you are very special, and I appreciate you so much. sending you loads of love Happy Easter xxxx

[@diana81pn73]

happy easter from Italy. I like your videos

[@elainerose2640]

For me the minute KZbinrs start to make a lot of money is when it spoils it for the viewer and then is often when I unsubscribe because it becomes too big and I don't, as a viewer, feel so connected plus I've had issues on channels run by gay youtubers with people commenting back to me that I shouldn't be watching because I'm not gay (I once commented that I liked a song, not knowing the singer was gay - I don't care who somebody sleeps with, if I like a song I like it, but I got abuse from gay people for being female and straight). I found you because I have two really good gay friends who live nextdoor to me and I just wanted to understand them a bit more without having to question them and as they say they don't want being gay to be all that they are and I get the same from you. As they said to me once when they were growing up they weren't really represented on TV and KZbin hadn't been invented then but if it had they wouldn't have felt so alone so KZbinrs like you do play an important role.

[@pedromelendez9539]

Elaine R Like your quote of good gay friends next door...

[@robarif5265]

I'm pretty sure Elaine R is our next door neighbour (the picture is a picture of the Town Hall where we live and we were with her when she took the photo!). What she doesn't say is that when we moved next door to her we moved from a different city where we had experienced a lot of racism (my boyfriend is Pakistani and Muslim - believe me that is a hard combination these days) and some homophobia and when we introduced ourselves to Elaine expecting the usual raised eyebrows or stunned silence we got none of that and she just carried on talking and she is a now really good straight friend (but really we are just friends - nothing else matters). She is right what she says - if we had KZbin when we were younger it would have been a lot easier coming to terms with being gay so you do play an important role and we also think that the bigger channels lose a lot of the friendliness when it becomes more about making money so although it may be good for you to make money it's not so good for the people watching.

[@normancross1515]

I've had people comment back to me, questioning why I was watching young people on KZbin when I am 71 years old. They say I must be a perv! I tend to ignore pretentious twits like that . . .

[@elainerose2640]

At 51 years old (although apparently I don't act like a 51 year old) I'm an older person as well and I think it keeps you young. I like to think that the majority of people are good people and would never say that about anybody. We are all human beings first and some people need to remember that.

[@elainerose2640]

Yes Rob and Arif. I am your next door neighbour (I read the email saying that Rob and Arif had replied to my comment and nearly had a heart attack - there's no secrets on the internet is there?

[@sisikitty6418]

you're definitely one/two of my fave KZbinrs. I really like the way you interact with your suscribers and the content Mix (serious/funny). Big hugs from Germany

[@keithkelly7709]

For me, the real value of your channel is the honesty, and warmth you bring to your viewers. I have followed you from the start and I look forward to every new video. Keep up the good work!

[@thomasbracken1969]

I really enjoy and u give me with some important things to think about. Also love your challenges to make me smile and forget my life for a short time.

[@richardwhytsell7974]

u guys are so refreshing in my life, it helps me so much to stay positive and becoming a better person, love u guys sending love.

[@lightseeker40]

Jealousy is always there. But as long as the two of you stay united, I'm sure many problems will not affect you. When I first came to terms with being gay, I felt alone but it was also thanks to you and your videos that now I feel better and happier So again thank you so much and stay strong! 👊 Happy Easter 😁🌈

[@BrandonMichael]

Hi! My bf and I make videos as well and are growing but I just wanted to say how much of an inspiration you are to us! Thank you for your amazing content!

[@pedromelendez9539]

This is my third attempt to comment, the first one I scrapped, the second press the wrong button and lost it. Here we go again, first as always, not tired of saying, I am first a friend then a fan. I get to You Tube because of you, about two years ago this November, I searched this platform called You Tube and noticed your videos. I subscribed and never regretted, life make you find good people and friends in unexpected places. Why, Him & Him, because their core values and hard work are the same as the first time I clicked my first video. I am 52, but really, I learned and laugh so much from this two young men, than from any You Tuber I subscribed. As a gay man, I support this channel, there are so many stories of people caring for each other, learning from each other and getting the help and support on the struggles of being gay, lesbian, straight people getting along with others, relationship issues, you name it. Is been two years almost, I unsubscribed for other channels that lost their core values, get to raunchy or are so commercial. Don't get me wrong, having sponsors are not bad but you noticed when they get to a point of a "door to door vacuums salesman". To those who do not understand how profound your influence are, they do not deserve a minute of explaining. Maybe, 30 seconds... It will be nice to record a 30 seconds video on how this guys make your life a happy one and send that to them as a postcard, just for the fun and support, just an idea... Guys, never get your values and hard work questioned, don't get to the pool of You Tubers greedy for views or subscribers, the reason you start this adventure should be the one that fuels every video, vlog, live event... Love you...

[@pedromelendez9539]

I can tell from the beginning, the loving and caring individuals you are. So I know your values will be always intact. Take care and smile, things will be awesome mon ami...

[@Kaenightowl]

I love all of your videos, serious or silly! They contribute so much light and happiness to my life, as well as so many others! For one of my close personal friends I can say you we're the primary influence that gave her the courage to come out. For me you guys inspire me every day to be who I am, and that I should love myself. For all of these reasons I love you guys. All of your loyal followers know you are not in this for the money or fame.

[@JoasRadiomann]

Thank you for you efforts to make great content! We are here and we love you and support you guys!

[@germankiss]

I am 59, from North Carolina. You guys Rock !! Love your videos!

[@benoreilly8150]

Try not to get bummed out by some comments by others peeps. you two are awesome, and the way you relate to one another and show genuine love and respect is a very positive msg for the LGBT community & the world to witness. thankyou for being you, I love your videos. You guys just keep being you 💜💕💜 hugs Ben

[@benoreilly8150]

Him and Him Happy Easter guys

[@peterlinnhoff2337]

Please do not let you get down from these guys... I love a l l your contents and it brighten my life. Just do continue your good job on KZbin, at least it is important that you both are happy with it. Big hugs and Happy Easter from Germany. :-) ♥♥♥

[@yates817]

just keep doing what you are doing. When you two laugh,and have a great time , it gives some one a smile.

[@wormpie4932]

I just can't understand anyone that doesn't "get" KZbin. And I'm 63 years old! I wish you both continued success with the channel!

[@danperry7019]

Hi, I love the content of all your videos, yes some are silly, some are more serious. Never be anything but true too yourself, that's why we all ❤️️💕💕 you two. X

[@babygirlholley8859]

Hay Him and Him.. Don't let people make you dough what you guys are doing I see the love you have for your subscriber no need to explain rather they like us or not we still going to be alright '' Happy Easter to you guys also

[@xilajiaojiang2946]

You guys are so sincere and even though my english is poor I still want to see your videos (sometimes i don't understand some words so i have to use dictionary:) that makes me learn some new words;) And all i want to say is as a student who major in media i know how difficult to make a channel but you guys do it really well! I have a little suggestion is maybe you can make the video time shorter that will makes people watch your videos more quickly and efficiently(this is just my opinion).For me the shorter video makes me have more patience to watch it.Love you guys and have a good day ^^

[@smjack2]

Guys thank you for what you do. I live in the US but a very small town of about 2500. I watch you and others on here to see the normal gay everyday life. YT is my primary source for that because everywhere else in my live I don't see it. So thanks again. As far as the type of videos that you make, I think, a mixture is good. Not everyone is going to like everything but you can't do anything about that. I have always thought that if you make content that you are passionate about and enjoy doing it will show through the video and people will watch.

[@KenBernardez]

You've made great impact here in the Philippines! Don't stop making videos, guys!

[@prmgr0767able]

WOW! Heavy! What a serious video. I feel BAD for the two of you, because what you bring to me is HAPPINESS whenever I see ANY of your videos! Forgive me, but I just LOVE to see two guys happy together! I know that You Tube does not pay much! I wish I could do something for you guys, but I am on a fixed income, and cannot afford it. Enough of me- more for YOU guys! It will not pay your bills, but please know that you make me SO HAPPY whenever I see your videos! I hope that your attitude will not be diminished by some of the negative comments- you and everyone else will always get them- it is a hazard of dealing with the public. But please know that there are a LOT of us out there who LOVE the both of you and what you do! I personally wish you a HAPPY AND HEALTHY AND LONG LIFE TOGETHER! Thank you for all you do for ME!

[@susancomer8734]

You deserve more subscribers ! Keep doing what you are doing .

[@brentbraniff]

I think what you guys are doing is having a huge impact on the gay community for those just coming out and even for old guys like me who have been out since the late 1800s. I watch quite a lot of gay KZbinrs and I have a tendency to gravitate towards guys like you. You have a smaller fan base and you seem more genuine and real. Once some KZbinrs start living the high life and their videos are about things I will never experience or relate to I lose all interest. Basically, what you guys provide is an environment of inclusiveness and that is very important because a lot of times in the gay community you can still feel like you don't fit in. The media in general paints gays like we're all rich, young party boys...which is wrong. There are probably a good lot of gay guys who don't get out much and for the most part spend their Saturday nights doing laundry. In your videos, silly or not, you show an honest interpretation of a young couple just starting out. You're finding your way...making ends meet...finding happiness in life and love. It's a beautiful thing to witness and I (along with your other followers) appreciate that so very much. Keep doing what you're doing for as long as you like! You are two very beautiful young men...inside and out!

[@brandonthegreatandam]

I completely support your channel and what you guys do. I can see that you work hard and that you're passionate about this channel and I really admire that. Don't be discouraged by what others say. Just be you because that's the reason why we watch you. Also, I'm applying to a French boarding school near Montreal. Hopefully I'll be able to live in your beautiful country for a few years.. Je vous aime 💙

[@frankpeiffer5380]

Happy Easter from Australia. I love your channel. Yes sometimes you do silly things - don't we all. I love your content. There is no violence and anything that shows LGBT+ persons being themselves has got to be good. Keep it up guys. XXX

[@Aster_Risk]

I just found you two today, and I am frustrated that someone could say that what you're doing isn't helping people. Not everything needs to be a big gesture or involve marches and parades. Just imagine how amazing it is for a gay/bisexual/questioning kid or teen (an adult even!) to see your videos and see how happy and normal you get to be. Some people aren't surrounded by examples of healthy same-sex couples, and that can leave a lasting impact. I am a straight, married 26-year old woman from Oregon, and watching your videos today cheered me up and brought me out of a funk I was in. I just love to see other people being happy and in love. Please keep doing what you do.

[@BrotherClint-eg7vf]

keep up your good work. i am only 15 years older than u- but that is just enough time for me to have been raised in a time when being gay/bi was much more scary. the amount of persecution and bullying i saw against openly gay ppl when i was growing up caused me to want to hide who i REALLY was. I fell in love with a woman and married young. i did love her, but i wasnt ever fully happy. im thankful for my kids- but i regret being a coward and hiding myself. i am now divorced and on great terms with my ex. i am struggling to decide if now (at 39) it is time for me to live the life i want to live- and live it bravely and openly. watching your videos- the goofy and the serious- brightens my day. i feel as if you were my neighbors or friends. you inspire me to fully embrace who i am and stop hiding. you help me realize a "normal" life is attainable for me. i only hope i can find a partner to share my life with too :) keep doing what u are doing. some ppl are so jaded that they criticize everyone they believe isnt as militant as they are on the front lines of activism. activism is important- but i think you channel is displaying a powerful truth that in itself is a kind of activism: the truth that gay couples are productive and kind members of society who just want to love and be loved like anyone else. i know you don't believe in God- but i do, and the highest compliment and encouragement i can give you is to say GOD BLESS YOU! You may not even realize the important ways you are being used by a higher power to pull ppl who are struggling out of the dark and lonely pit of dispair and onto solid ground. I am one who hopes you are blessed beyond your wildest dreams! Peace be with you!

[@ashlismith8980]

Dear Him and Him, I totally understand where you guys are coming from. Some people, including KZbin can't learn to accept those who are happy with themselves, no matter who we wanna be as people. Don't let all that bring you down keep your heads up and keep doing what you're doing it keeps us subscribers happy. Love, Ashli 💗💗💗💗 P.S.You guys are doing a great job

[@juancarlosmiguelsantos3105]

We love you..we totally understand what you have to do..you have to live and pay bills & nothing is free..so don't worry about the naysayers and keep up the great work!

[@iamprincessjulia9735]

Happy easter from denmark! I found you guys about 3 days ago, and have already made a big impact in my life. I'm starting to accept my sexuality more (i am bisexual) and maybe soon i'll be able to fully come out. I am so happy to find you guys, and already love you more than any of the other bigger youtubers. I just don't seem to enjoy watching very big channels, because i don't feel like it get's personal enough sometimes. I like how you seem to care about every single one of us, just as much as you care about eachother. I love you guys so much, please never stop making videos. I love every single one you've made, and i will continue to watch the next one's for a very long time. i wish i could be able to donate to you guys. love you both

[@robertrawley1115]

*NORMAL is good!* It is so important for LGBTQ youth to have positive role models to see how life 'could' be great in the future. I firmly believe that channels like yours are saving a life every day.

[@OcculiMortis]

I love you guys so much. It does not matter to me how much you make off of KZbin, I do not care. When I get to see your videos I am happy. I am 45 and gay and have never been in a relationship. When I was young I did 8 years in the Marine Corps, so I missed out on my 20's experiencing love and being a part of that. Now I'm old and off the market. But seeing you two and the love you have gives me hope.

[@larinvermont3271]

And now comments from the OLD generation: I have subscribed to your KZbin channel since your third video, unless my aged and enfeebled memory has failed me. And while over the time I've lost interest in some channels and simply come to dislike others, you belong to the very few I continue to follow. I wait with anticipation for your new videos, wake up early to watch them (even on Saturday), and even rerun some of the older ones which have special meaning. Your hard work has cheered me up, entertained me, made me envious of your obvious closeness as a couple (because it was not possible when I was so young), and generally reminds me that we all share common issues throughout the LGBT+ community. For those who choose to denigrate your videos, it's extremely clear that they have absolutely no concept of the time, effort, creativity, and plain courage it takes to put yourselves out there in front of the world. And as for the ones who think you're in it for the money, they've never taken the time to look at Google's "compensation scale." You have welcomed your viewers into your lives, and treated us as family, and we love you for such generosity. If you ever doubt it, just look at the comments and the mail - that should thoroughly erase the question! P.S .: Vous avez même réussi à me rappeler une langue, même maladroitement, que je n'ai pas utilisé depuis trop longtemps!

[@MegaApple45]

Australia is has your back guys, you two are so amazing and you have made me smile all the time !

[@MrRobertgough]

I am 48 years old and I wish that youtube existed when I was coming out of the closet at age 28. Channels like yours show the normal every day life of a gay couple and that in itself is immensely important. Keep up the good work. Love you guys.

[@WhatsUpMontrealTV]

BLESS!!!

[@williamm8240]

I have said this many time to many gay KZbinrs, Thanks for being leaders in the gay community by putting your life and time on youTube and helping other people. We are average people in an average world doing average things. Stay strong and keep up the great video's.

[@jeremyazizaziz]

I don't have any intention to quit watching your videos. You are my favorite couple on YT, I give you my word guys. Those others KZbinrs probably are not understand that you guys don't have to do your videos like they doing. I believe that both of you are completely real, honest, funny and handsome. Did I mention that you make a great couple ?. I also think that you really are helping many people who need made a desitions about his/her personal matters, especially for the young generations in the LGBTQ. Bryan/Pascal keep doing what you been doing for many years. You got my support and I give you a BRAVO for all those amazing videos which I became adicctit to those videos. You just keep focus and neither of you have to do what others said. That's the beauty of be original !!!. Being different this days is a bless not an obstacle. Your dedication is well appreciate it not only by me, but for all your fans around the world. In all the continents... Thank you for your laugh and crazy things that you doing... You have NO idea how much I enjoy your insane sense of humor. Again, you can count on me now and always. HUGS from Puerto Rico . 🇺🇸🇵🇷🇨🇦

[@jeepman1244]

Keep up the great work there will always be naysayers, I watch because you talk common sense! Thats a big factor in most youtubers I watch!! Brian where you get black eye?

[@MrLourie]

Hello Bryan and Pascal, anyone who questions the purpose, or possible impact, of KZbin, obviously hasn't any experience with social media, or interest in it. I, personally, enjoy your channel, and similar KZbin channels like yours. I tend to believe the smaller, more personal KZbin channels, like yours, have a positive effect on their audience, almost like a live face to face. I find once a channel gains several hundred thousand, or millions, of subscribers, the intimacy between the KZbinr and the subscriber dissolves. With large channels, very often comments and questions are left unanswered and ignored. The larger KZbinr channel will upload the video and then just step away until next time. You two appear genuine, and sincere in your desire to reach a worldwide audience, and offer what help and advice you can, and I, and all your subscribers, appreciate this. You definitely do make an impact. Keep up the good work.

[@lahlm1887]

Hey Guys. I feel it is your channel. Do whatever feels right for you. if I as a subscriber do not like something that is on me same if I love something you do. Be silly, serious, angry,happy, just be your true selves. That is why I watch you, you feel true to me. Take care.

[@Mcflyeon]

I can see where you guys are coming from. I say that people need to get to know the KZbinrs by watching their videos before passing any judgement. Maybe they also take for granted that KZbinrs are people themselves who have feelings and sometimes issues too, just like anybody. Regardless, don't let those people get in the way on your videos. I personally enjoyed watching your videos whenever you both are having fun, sharing your lives or talking about LGBTQ+ issues and I always know that, especially since I'm part of the LGBTQ+ community too as you guys are one of my top LGBTQ+ KZbinrs, let alone KZbinrs which I can relate too and learn a lot from you guys.

[@alwillis5047]

I really like both of your hair in this video you both look great

[@dreamer.4]

All the love for you guys. Don't let people bring you down, you have an important impact on people all over the world. Also, it is *not* bad to be rich and famous, especially not in your case because you guys are such loving persons. I love and appreciate you.

[@dreamer.4]

Also, the trailer for SKAM season 4 has just aired in Norway!! There will be 6 seasons in total, so: happy watching to Pascal (and Brian if he watches SKAM too)!

[@eddie_d1233]

I would like to know what specifically these "media" people object to. What was the forum you attended? What do they want you to do? What were they objecting to? To my mind you are two of the most honest, open and trusting you tubers. Maybe these people need to get real lives.

[@eddie_d1233]

I would like to add that you have nothing to apologize for.

[@AtNewDruid]

Canada just needs to grow some with KZbin just like America did. you know I love you guys. You made an impact in my life, like one your transparencynis refreshing and helps with a good human connection. We can relate to you because in my opinion you address the LGBT comunity and your viewers as all excepting and not relating to just one gener. some just do content just for fellow young people and cut out the older people esp thouse not abel to come out or finaly coming out. I think you do a great job, love you videos and being able to interact. alot of youtubers wont take the time to talk with you or write you a letter but you guys do and that makes you a cut above the rest. also i love helping you guys out financially. and for thouse that do not understand and criticise.. well they need ot chill. its our money and we can do what we want with. love you guys David.

[@Nambazi]

I think sharing that daily life outside of activism is important, if every gay persons job was to be a community activist, historian I think a lot of us would have a stronger burden on your physical and mental health. Keep doing what you're doing

[@wawa2]

Every comment, letter and declaration of thanks you receive from so many, shows you are doing more for the LGBT community than those who would criticize you being here. You have touched young and old and you are both beautiful. As RuPauls says, "If they ain't paying your bills, pay those bitches no mind"

[@amyking4am]

I love your vids never stop x :)

[@FreewillUSA]

Dear Pascal and Bryan, I think the wonderful feedback on this video from people of all ages and from all over the world speaks to the broad and positive role that your channel has. I agree with so many of these comments. Rather than repeating them, I will add some new thoughts. The people from other media platforms need to do several things before further criticizing LGBT KZbin channels. First, read all of the comments on this video to understand there is value here. Second, understand we are a diverse community and there are diverse needs. Some need inspiration to come out. Others need to see positive gay couple role models. Still others just need to laugh sometimes. Your channel provides all of these things. Third, media is not an either-or situation. I can watch TV series, talk shows, and KZbin if I want. They should appreciate that each can have value. I enjoy KZbin because I can get to know the people in the videos. In your case, I can become friends. By supporting your efforts through Patreon, I can give back to the LGBT community. It is easier for some people to be negative, but it is better to lead by positive examples. Love you both.

[@charleskesner1302]

All the best.

[@philkaseyewitness6912]

You would be surprised

[@philkaseyewitness6912]

Is a fan

[@normancross1515]

Guys, good morning! Here's another thought. Perhaps there is too much emphasis on the numbers. What is the viewership of your channel in Quebec? In Montreal? Toronto? I would venture to say it is smaller in Quebec than Toronto. But what about the PERCENTAGE of viewership to population? I'll bet you have far more viewers in the New York City area than Quebec, but the percentage of viewership is far lower. Samuel Clemons (Mark Twain) once said, "There are 3 kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, and statistics!" So perhaps numbers should be left out of the argument, and the real consideration is the response, dedication, and impact you have on the viewers of your content. I would bet that percentage is astronomical compared to most others. Love you guys, keep up the excellent content. Perhaps you have more impact than you even imagined . . .

[@domdenny261]

I do think you should make content in French also...or in both languages.. that would be different and make it more accessible..

[@val8638]

Salut les garçons, je sens que Pascal a été un peu peiné par l'incomprehension ou un certain dénigrement de certaines personnes de la communauté. Franchement, faut pas s'en faire !! Je suis une maman célibataire hétéro de 47 ans et je trouve vos vidéos fraiches, amusantes, sincères, et je suis ravie de voir votre amour et votre osmose. J'avais un oncle gay, malheureusement décédé qui n'a pas eu al chance de pouvoir vivre un amour gay de façon durable, qui a vu beaucoup de ses amis partir avant l'heure (sida), qui n'a pas été accepté pour ce qu'il était par ses parents (autres temps, autres moeurs), ses enfants (il a tenté une vie hétéro), il est parti malade et surtout seul. Tout ça pour dire que oui, vos vidéos sont utiles car vous êtes vous mêmes, et vous donnez une image du couple gay contemporaine qui est saine, vous êtes sincères dans votre relation, cela se sent et oui, vous avez des délires mais c'est fun, c'est la vie. En amour, il faut l'humour pour que ça dure toujours et puis bon on est que de passage, profitez et laissez dire les grincheux (je pensais pas que certains LGBT pouvait être aussi conservateurs) Continuez vous êtes mignons comme tout, vous êtes jeunes, enthousiastes et plein d'espoirs ensemble, je vous souhaite le meilleur!!
