Following our 'steps': how did we get here?
We are Adam (North American) and Bernardo (Brazilian) and we are husbands whose paths crossed back in 2016, when we both still lived in Brazil. Since the very beginning, we shared a common passion for travel and nature, which has only grown over the years and led us to this unexpected journey on KZbin, which has allowed us to connect with an amazing community that we’re beyond grateful for. “Go out and make memories” is our motto of living and a constant reminder for us that true happiness doesn’t come from the material wealth we accumulate, but from the memories we create and share with our loved ones throughout our existence. We invite you to join us in our crazy journey in life and hopefully we can inspire you to go out and make some memories on your own. Welcome aboard!

Happy Tuesday everyone and welcome back. This subject obviously has a special place in our hearts due to how we were raised and now. This was our first time going to a Pride parade together and we were overwhelmed with the support from the community. On Friday, we will be going to Dido's concert here in Portland. It should be fun and Bernardo is really excited to see her. Big hugs to you all and remember we are family here. We are like your little/older brothers here. Stay strong and we are here for you all. Happy Pride.

What a GREAT video! It gave me the “goosies”. The Love & Support expressed by the crowd was incredible. I never get to see this in my everyday life so it gave me a real sense of Pride. I remember my first Pride parade and festival 25 years ago. This is a major step up! Thank you for sharing this special event with us ... and those around the world who may not have this type of celebration. Your personal views on this event is definitely a special added touch. You guys are an inspiration to so many. As always, sending many positive thoughts your way. 😊

Happy pride guys, hate is against my religion too and love is love between two hearts not gender. Am straight and have never had anything against the LGBT, everyone deserves to be happy and not to be judged for who they are. Always be proud like am proud of all of you out there.

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Hey Carol, thanks so much. Hate is against our religion as well. We couldn't agree with you more. How can we change who we love? Big hugs to you.

[@garmo98]

At 68 I guess I fall into that "older generation" you spoke about. I've lived through the secrecy, the hatred, and the fear. However, seeing the two of you and the genuine love you show to the world I can confidently say whatever we endured was absolutely worth it! Happy Pride!

[@RBS_]

....LOVELY comment, Gar- I'm getting up there too of that 'Older generation', but we're still STANDING....PROUD! 🌈👍

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Gary, wow, how kind of you to say that. Thank you. Our hats our off to the generations before us because it's because of all of you that we are able to feel proud. We thank you. It should be the other way around :)

[@mlaugh09]

Gary Mortensen right there with you brother.

[@SFmusic100]

Gary Mortensen I’m 66 so I’m right there with you. Isn’t it amazing, the changes we have seen in the world. I remember the thing that made the 16 year old me the most depressed was knowing that I would spend my adult life alone and never be married. Well here we are 50 years later and I am happily married to a wonderful man and my life is the opposite of what I thought it would be. Happy Pride 👬🏳️‍🌈

[@lpforever6273]

Yes, the old days--you forgot to mention though the effect of HIV coming on the scene in the 1980s. Devastating when 'gay culture' was identified with an early and unpleasant death, if not, well then you were going to be a lone old outsider .... great to see the change and the reduction in human suffering that this openness and acceptance can promote.

[@SFmusic100]

“Never apologize for someone you love” is such a profound statement, and is why marriage equality for gays was so important. Gay marriage is what has allowed so many gay couples to step out of the shadows of shame and step into the light and proclaim that our relationships are as real, worthy and valid as any other. Happy Pride 🤗🥰👬🏳️‍🌈

Hey Howard, we couldn't agree with you more. When I saw that sign, I got a lot of fuzzy feelings inside me. Happy Pride to you as well :)

Yeah! It is Tuesday! What a great video and tribute to the LGBTQ Community! I am one of the "older" people that you spoke about in your Blog.... I lived in a northern US City in the late 1970's , when we feared for our lives with equality with housing, employment, and going out to Clubs! I remember walking to our favorite restaurant, and there were cars filled with men yelling at us and spitting on us and shouting at us to "die"! I would do it all over again to see us all in this wonderful place today! WE still have a ways to go.... I am happy that I could be part of the equality movement! I love you wonderful men! Stand proud and strong!

I feel so happy with every video you post because the love you both share spills over and affects everyone- especially those lacking love whether gay or straight or in between. I never post but this time, I'm just so proud of the vulnerability, the support, love and acceptance- I had to comment. It's videos like this (actually, all your videos) that will help those who struggle with their identities and sexuality will see and feel good about themselves and that saves lives. Thank you for sharing. You spread so much positivity and help people more than you know just by being you. Much love to you both!

What this KZbin journey started was a big realization of many things but we've realized that we have some viewers abroad and it's important for them to know that being gay does not mean you're a monster or weird. We are trying to share what we went through as kids and bring to light that it does get better and we are living proof. Thank you again.

All these years later I still get a little choked up going to the parade. I was in LA last year for their Pride weekend and parade. I do have a video posted from the parade, as well as a tribute video I made after the Pulse shooting in Orlando if you want to check them out. But I am so glad you guys went and that you felt the spirit of community that is there in these events. Thanks again for taking us along on your journey.

"Never apologize for someone you love." "Go out and be proud." How could you not love this lovely couple. Their stories inspires a lot, they're really open to everything most especially if it's a new experiences for the both of them and it's no doubt that it makes them more proud and that what makes them to belove by a lot including me (of course). It's very rare to find someone you can have and love for the rest of your life, but if you have willingly waited for that someone you deserve, it's a very fulfilling one and Adam & Bernardo is one good example of this. So thank you both for inspiring a lot of people esp. me. ❤👬🌈 "Go out and make memories." "Be proud of who you are."

Hello guys! I moved to Portland and came out in 1985. This is the first year in 34 years that I wasn't at Scandals after the parade. (I also worked there many years.) Your video took me there anyway so I feel like I didn't miss it! It would have been nice to meet you. Another time perhaps. Thank you for recognizing the work of the generations that came before and all of the work done to get us all where we are today. Portland Pride has always been part protest march and part celebration. Cheers!!

I do remember my first pride ever, it was an emotional day for me, because, I was alone with no family, friends and afraid for being out of the closet. I found out it was okay being who I really am, at the same time I got some comfort and like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.

Hey Guys. I hadn't been keeping up with all your videos of late, so I decided to jump in and check this one out. Nice to see another pride parade and your perspective commentary. I always like to check out what other cities are doing. I agree with you, there is a stronger political and family orientation to the pride parades in the United States. Boston's is really welcoming; it's a real family event, as well as being strongly supported by businesses, both large and small. Nice to see you both out there. You are true role models - younger gay folks and, those who are not gay, need to see two people of the same sex in a loving, happy and productive relationship. Keep up the good work!

It is so nice to watch you two just simply love each other with such ease. It was not always like that as you have acknowledged so kindly in this video. In 1980, I took my boyfriend to my high school prom in San Jose, California . It was a national news event and it took a legal battle with the state of California and the ACLU to make it possible. To dance with my then boyfriend, Mike McNiel, we had to have pain clothes police surround the San Jose, Holiday Inn to protect us so we could have one single slow dance together. Needless to say I was scared half to death for my life as well as that of Mike. It is so wonderful to watch you two so comfortable in a public setting. Things have really gotten better here in the liberal parts of the USA. Cheers to you both in this month of pride. Warmest regards, Dean Yoder, Glen Cove, New York, USA

Adam's voice when he was talking about their past situations was very serious, first time I've heard him talk that way

[@juljam4279]

Hey guys Tel Aviv is a great idea. But why not also Sao Paolo,Madrid or New York pride. Hugs to both.

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Good idea. Those would be great ideas for next year :)

Stepsof2Foreigners Toronto Pride 2020 ?

[@angelcorstorphine]

Went to my 1st pride on Saturday past in Edinburgh! it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen & done! To see so much love, acceptance & colour was beautiful. It was 1 week after coming out to my parents as pansexual & after explaining what it means my mum said "oh right ok " & my dad just shrugged like it was nothing! It felt amazing. 🌈🌈🌈❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

.....If you got THAT response, you'll do GOOD! ...Congrads, Angela! 👍🏼

[@BofferBings]

Not only parade coverage but a nice discussion of what it means to you... thanks so much!

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Thanks so much Richard. We're so glad you enjoyed the discussion part :)

[@dianarice1443]

, i saw two handsome men at the pride parade. Oh that was you two on KZbin anyway you both should be very proud of yourselves for helping people of any and all persuasions to be proud of their way of lives, their beliefs,their feelings,their way of life and how they love. Love IS love regardless of what anyone thinks. Love to you both. Continue your travels and making those loving memories.💚 🌈♥

Wish everywhere was like Portland. I live in a straight farming community of mainly the far Christian Right where you best keep under cover.

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Brent, Portland has it's problems as well but with the LGBT community, you can't find a better place to live.

[@mcdazzy]

I think this is one of my favourite videos guys. This seems like a milestone in your lives where you are relaxed and proud, not only for yourselves but for the support from the community as well. No one should ever be denied love. This video will inspire many people to be who they are and find strength to do that! ❤️❤️X

[@albecker2982]

What I Ioved from this parade is I didn't see any of the stereotype, or not recorded ( drags, feathers, shirtless guys). It was more family oriented. Greetings from above parallel 49.

[@RBS_]

....I noticed that, too; here in NY, its' nightclub floats & Go Go Boys; I'm going to Portland next Summer....wish me LUCK! ...ha-HAAA! 👍

[@RecMan2010]

A parade like this would make me feel more comfortable. Toronto's pride parade (and the subsequent festivities afterwards) seems to be nothing more than an excuse for excessive drinking, exhibitionism and debauchery.

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Thanks Al. Yes, from what I remember in Orlando, it was more of a party. I mean, I walked behind the Pulse float in my underwear (face palm). Here in Portland, we really didn't see a lot of the stereotypes. To be honest here, no one cares. What we saw was the community coming together and celebrating a wonderful cause. We felt like we (LGBT) were in the minority.

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Are you going this weekend?

[@IceKnight81]

This is why I dont take pride parades seriously. Theres always the stereotype which bugs the hell out of me. It would be a more positive thing if it stayed classy not trashy. Keep it a family fun event. No obscene groping, nudity, and outrageous amounts of alcohol and drunk people everywhere. And keep the politics out of it. We see it everywhere else.

[@ramerorales2989]

Love to see people like me who are enjoying the life to its fullest. Hopefully i can have a freedom like yours!

[@lindasullivan8745]

Never apologise for being gay...normal comes in all forms of life..x

We agree Linda. We don't apologize anymore :)

One day the society have to accept the fact and reality of loves regardless genders

....I agree, Bill! 👍🏼

[@Js2Jo]

Adam and Bernardo, I wanna say Happy pride month to you, guys and I came out to my Haitian family for the first time, when I was a teenager back in 2005 and early 2006 for being bisexual at the time for awhile and I’m part of the LGBTQ community!!! 🙂🏳️‍🌈

[@RBS_]

....yay! 👍

[@antoniobezerra9772]

Happy Pride to all of us !!! We are stronger than any prejudice. I loved Tina Turner's song at the party, I would like to be there. Kisses from Brazil guys.

[@spacetraveller6835]

You two really blossom! I am straight but have always supported the LGTB community. God created us all according to His will, so yes, be proud becoz God never makes mistakes! If anything, no matter your sexual orientation, you are such an example of love, respect and happiness!

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Wow, you are just too sweet Andre, thank you. We thank you for your support, it means a lot to us. Big hugs to you.

[@DragonLightz]

OMG, Bernardo flexed for the crowd at Pride! On behalf of all the subscribers here, we would like Adam & Bernardo to flex for us in the next video. Wait, don't kill me! ;-P

[@Vivinovianafebriani]

I'm so sad my country definitely one of 73 countries where LGBTQ is so hated, So lucky you guys living in Europe and US more open with this community.. hopefully i can move there 🥺

[@gwmattos]

San Francisco is only 1 hour north of my home and it is beautiful. You two should go there next year and film for a week. The people will embrace you but relax, eat the great food, and then walk the parade from start to finish. Go there and make memories.

[@soymanuelmartinez6109]

LGBT Pride Month is the best month is the month that I most expect is for respect, equality, acceptance, love and pride I hope you allan past super vien ... I love you guys

Acistindo aos vídeos de vocês dois, fico me perguntando, será que depois que desliga as câmeras é tudo assim, maravilhoso, tudo maravilhoso? Não sei, mas vocês dois me passa que sim, que a conecsão de vocês dois é verdadeira, é de alma. Aos meus 53 anos ainda não encontrei a minha cara metade... Vendo vocês, espero encontrar alguém especial... Parabéns para vocês, que a paz esteja sempre com você. Muita saúde ..

[@thomasmead6898]

People can drink at pride parades in big cities, here in chicago people can drink on the street. That is good to have a wholesome message, but I’m sure you guys agree, muscle shirtless guys are a lot of fun!

[@RBS_]

.....who YOU tellin!? ...ha-HAA!! 💪🦵 🍑 👍🏼

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Hey Thomas, really? I didn't know in big cities you could drink. I can't remember if we could when I lived in Orlando. Yes, we love both type of parades but we had never been to a Pride like in Portland. There were no stereotypes here. Yes, the drag queens and electronic music makes it fun but we were surprised how much we enjoyed this one because of the support from the community as a whole. Make sense? It's hard to explain the support here in Portland. I know you travel a lot and I think you've mentioned you came here.

[@ericmenson3605]

Dear Adam and Bernardo, my friends ❤️❤️ thank you so much for this video🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 the messages in this video really really special and such motivation to people who been struggle and afraid to come out. I’m also the one who scared and afraid of coming out, but you both have been my inspiration since the beginning and I couldn’t thank you enough. One thing that’s always in my mind is your message is”To go out, be proud and makes memories” I love you two with all my heart. May God bless and be with you both every steps of the way.💕💕💕💕💕💕

Happy Pride to you guys , I love to watch Bernardo try new experiences and see how much you guys are in love with each other.

[@ajaler1]

Happy Pride from Seattle. Yeah Pride is more tame in the last decade or so. A lot of families, commercialization and straight allies. I was lucky to have a family that was very liberal and okay with me coming out. If you want a more extreme party try Folsom Street Fair or Dore Alley in San Francisco
