[@MrGoldsmith2000]

Thanks Adrian for adding your story, soon people will realize that it's perfectly normal.

[@scottyh8494]

Good story of your coming out Adrian. I hope all is going well now mate.

[@octogarden72]

I grew up on a farm in Mossman and I am gay. Thank you for this . Love back to you forever.

[@janmichaels8550]

Thanks Dave.....you made me feel good about myself...Aloha Jan Michaels....

[@upanddownlevel9]

I really relate with the "guessing" game when coming out.

[@pakocornejo]

Thanks! Life is Beautiful :)

[@michaelm5601]

Strength to all, I came out at 60…. With an x wife and two kids…. It’s never easy…. Everyone is different… Best to do it when it feels right to you… you are most important….

[@dav7444]

Well done you

[@newnanbears]

Cool that you came out to the world. Love the Aussie accent. I live in the USA Georgia and people tell me that I have one too. When I came out to my Australian friend, she no longer wanted to be friends with me. I came out to the world when I was 28 in 1995. I am now 46 and very proud of coming out to the world.

[@danielwilda8167]

I like your style of using an interviewer to ask questions ! Gives a good flow to your story best wishes for a happy life 👍🏳️‍🌈🌈💪⭐️💙🇺🇸💜

[@jgnmtz]

[@SuperPeterism]

Wonderful video. You make the comment that some people only come out after they have found a partner. I believe that coming out before you find a partner is better for the quality of your togetherness. Rather than using your combined energies to enjoy your togetherness, so much of it will be used to engender feelings of fear and unnecessary negative thinking patterns.

[@Cats1357911]

Good story I can relate what this man is saying.

[@ted1091]

Always make sure you are safe before coming out- that you have another place to live and that you're not in physical danger. You can never predict how someone will react. You come first.

[@jamesthompson248]

Amen 🙏🏼

[@blainebill39]

@farmerdave2010 Ciao Bello! Grazie Dave for uploading "Adrians" coming out share here! I find it especially "Delicious" that Adrian bears the name of the "Roman Antonine Emperor Hadrian" 117-138 C.E. Hadrian or "Adrian" as the Italians call him, was known to be a lover of "All Things Greek"!

[@shanestace6222]

Very good looking bloke😉

[@basil1906]

Really inspiring. i wish i could come out. im way to scared and keep telling myself that it will change. it wont. i have beeing playing my role for 29 years now. kinda tired of it.

[@blainebill39]

Because Adrian my friend, Bobby's story is part of mine, being in the book upon which Lifetimes' movie was based! And because his story has "Resonated" with so many the World over, I'll continue to "Shamelessly" use my connection to a boy who took his own life almost 30 years ago, draw distinctions between the "Hateful, Homophobic America" of those days, with a future as well as today that is looking brighter than ever!

[@blainebill39]

@farmerdave2010 And that included a beautiful young "Bithynian Boy" named "Antinous", for whom he erected thousands of statues in most of the "Market Places" in the Roman World/Empire! Thank you my friend for "Archiving" these great "Authentic Coming Out" stories from "Down Under"! This "Yank", Bobby Griffiths' (Prayers for Bobby) old lover/boyfriend "Blaine" here, is both grateful, and so "Sodding" proud of you for this! Ti Amo Molto "Mate"! (I Luvs Ya Lots Mate) Blaine

[@GaryInMilwaukee]

Nice video. I come from a farming background. Luckily I had an older brother who was gay.

[@hongkongfueynz3071]

Damn, he is hot.....

[@yoderjjy]

Thanks for posting video. What part of Australia are you from? I'm going to be visiting Cairns in November from USA. Never been there. Can't wait. Hoping to see some cute gay guys like yourself. Love your accent.

[@d.j.7069]

NO one wants to be "gay". Accepting it yourself, and then sharing it with others ... then everyone, is quite a heavy task. It's like announcing to the whole world that I am "white". I would choose to be brown or black so I would fit-in with my friends better, but I can't; I was born 'white' and that's that.

[@tidalpool1]

brave man...I did not come out until I was past 50......I could never fight my family, or friends....told my wife when we were dating, and I discovered gay men could love women, I try not to regret my choice, no use crying over spilled milk.

[@Leonion6]

This guy is so adorable. Alas, as a non-native English speaker I could only understand like 1/2 of the story. Automatically generated subs weren't very useful either. 3:56 aww

[@iwnunn7999]

Where's Adrian today?

[@2326038]

+IW Nunn I'm curious to know too. He sounds to me like he has an Australian accent.

[@farmerdave2010]

Yes he is Australian

[@2326038]

+Farmer Dave And a good looking one at that.

[@blainebill39]

Oh 'Mi Dispiace"(I'm sorry) this is Dave, whom I've addressed! "Mea Culpa!!!

[@blainebill39]

If by doing so I might help one young person abstain from causing themselves any harm, I'll gladly assume that "Charge" you've laid at my feet! I do have Mary Griffith, her husband Bob, as well as Bobbys' brother Ed, and his sisters Nancy and Joys' blessings in this! Sincerely! Blaine W. Andrews

[@williamgreen8330]

Cute guy 😁 wish you well on your life . So cute and sexy the way he keeps rubbing his legs 😁 sure he trying to come onto the guy interview ing him 😁 x

[@thomasucc]

He needs to find a nice Irish guy, they would get on well.

[@jamesthompson248]

ME!!!! I am strongly attracted to Irish men, hecka yeah!!! ❤️🏳️‍🌈😘💋🌈💐

[@CHAOSmasterdark]

I have laid no "charge" against you, merely questioned the manner in which you approach things. I don't see the necessity in bandying about the fact that you were his lover, or boyfriend - whichever you prefer. Nor for the incessant use of inverted commas and unnecessary inclusion of Italian references in literally every single post that I have seen of yours. Its just hard to take in a credible manner when you first make sure to stake your claim to fame and THEN only offer a supportive comment.

[@blainebill39]

@farmdave2010 Ciao Bello! Mi Dispiace! (I'm Sorry) I should have addressed you as "David", which I much prefer, one meaning of which in Hebrew is 'Beloved of G-D"! Sublime no? Blaine

[@MrBarney524]

Can I have the number of the straight girl in Japan? Mrs Dave Griffith

[@P0tsdamer75]

As many as he felt comfortable with - but in which way is this YOUR problem?! Or are you just jealous because he can do what you'd want and don't allow yourself to do...? ;) Silly homophobia. Simply mind your own business - or is him being gay a threat to your way of life?! I'm hetero and couldn't care less if he's gay or not - aside from being happy for him that he's happy with himself now and living life the way HE sees fit.

[@CHAOSmasterdark]

Really? Bobby Griffiths' former lover? Why, after all that his family has been through, would you advertise that fact? Attention seeking?
