Top Comments of this video!! :3
A few months ago, my friend came out as bi and started dating another girl. Many of my friends were gay/bi, so it was normal to me. However, i started questioning my sexuality, and it was a really hard journey. My mind didn't want me to be anything but straight, and when i thought i was bi, my brain was like "pick a side". I was so caught up in the whole thing i literally made myself sick for several days. However, watching your videos has really helped me, and i have finally come to terms with my sexuality. You especially helped me realize that bi people don't have to have 50/50 attraction to men and women. I figured out i have a stronger attraction to women. You've really helped me and i wish i would have found you earlier. Tysm for all you do! You make such a big difference on so many lives! (Sorry you had to read a whole novel 😂) happy pride month! 🏳️🌈

Hey Lauren- I just wanted to say that you have changed my life with your videos. I’ve been a closeted lesbian for like 2 years now and watching your videos has literally changed me as a person for the better! I came out in march to my friends and April to my parents, and now everyone has been soooo amazing and supportive. I wasn’t planning on coming out… but I decided that I didn’t want to hide myself anymore! Hope your doing well🏳️🌈🏳️🌈!

This was such a great refreshed video. I’ve been told mostly “You don’t look gay” even by other lesbians and bisexual women, “You haven’t found the right man”, “You’re too good looking to be a lesbian”. And additionally, whenever I’m single and they ask me if I’m married? No. You have a boyfriend? No. You have a girlfriend? No. Then they ask why am I single? And my response is usually cause I’m an ass-hole and I go about my day. This happened to me a lot when I was in the Army and wore civilian clothing in the base. Sometimes they assumed that I was just a military spouse because they forget that women serve as well. It’s a crazy world but I get a good laugh from time to time.

I've come out as lesbian to all my close family and friends and all of them told me they werent surprised and had a feeling/knew it. This didnt really bother me cause they're all very supportive and I'm very proud to be gay, but one of my family members did say "well you haven't been around many decent men so you cant fully know" and she didn't mean it in a bad way but that one comment made me doubt myself a lot and really messed with me. I still sometimes have doubts, but deep down i know I'm gay, and I'm very happy and proud to call myself a Lesbian :))) 🏳️🌈

I'm not really out to anyone except close friends and one of my cousins but when I came out to my cousin, it was by telling her that I was going to an affinity group (she's also LGBTQ+ and she was going too). She said back to me: "Really? But you're the straightest person I know." She apologized right after the meeting and everything's fine now but it really hurts when someone says you don't look gay or something along the same lines, especially someone close to you.

I knew my (sort of) daughter was gay, not before she knew but definitely before she told me so when she told me I said “I know” then we hugged, a lot. I love her and I just want her to be happy but the world as it is now makes that difficult sometimes. Although, when I think back to when I was her age the problems she would have faced don’t bear thinking about. Change comes slowly and education is the key so just keep doing what you’re doing.

I've heard alot of 'I wish they didn't shove it in our faces' and 'Don't make your life about your sexuality' these were said by my hetero Mum and sister by the way 😅
My sister once said to me 'I don't go around introducing myself as straight' People just assume' Moral of the story is... Come out and say no more 😔

When I came out to one of my friends they were like:" Oh, i imagined you were gay, you've always liked war movies and that kind of stuff". While i did understand they did not have hurtful intentions, it felt wrong. It's like you claim to know somebody is queer because of a stereotypical behavior they display, or you think they display. And of course stereotypes do not help acceptance and are mostly negative.

Great video. I am a teacher and also a father of a 14-year old girl. I've always been very vocal about fighting any sort of prejudice, and this video helped me seen other things that could sound disrespectful. I do one have one questioning though.
About the last one. Of course, I really think it's stupid that people think that one is LGBTQ+ just because they "didn't find the right man/woman".
But... I am married to a woman, I've never been attracted to a man, but when people ask me if I am "straight" ( I don't really like this term, to be honest), I always say: " So far yes, but I don't know tomorrow".
I mean, for me, it doesn't matter. I raise my daughter to look for a nice person. Gender it's not the key factor. She's very open to us, for her, the subject is natural. It's not even something to be "talked about".
For us here at home, it's like discussing about "why the person is wearing a green T shirt?".
So, what I mean, is, a person can be attracted to a girl, and someday meet a boy and get attracted too, no?
Just to exemplify. I know it may sound silly, but as it's something that really touched me, I think it can be used.
I've always hated the colour yellow. Like, really. Never had any piece of anything. Until one day, a long time ago, my daughter painted (at school), a Yellow T shirt for me.... I love that one...
What I am trying to say is, isn't LOVE, something that you feel for a person, not just gender?
Myabe I miss intrepreted you, as English isn't my mother language 🙂
Just subscribed, loved the channel 🙂

My friend once told me ‘I miss the time before all this gay stuff’ and my other friend agreed. I felt so hurt and cried about it later, I’m 13 and am not 100% sure yet, but I’m so happy I came out to them because it really helped my mental health but if they say something like that it really hurts. I’d just like to know if that was f*cked up of her. (English isn’t my first language so excuse the grammar)

I remember watching you like years ago maybe when I was in like 3rd grade so around 4-5 yrs ago, I’m happy you’re doing well, I’m also happy you could “show me” what the feeling was I had, I always knew I like women and men, people in general. but I didn’t know what it was called lol I’m now bi/pan (not sure which to use because they’re a lot alike so I’m still kinda questioning,) asexual and gender-fluid, I’m very happy with myself and although I’m not openly out because I’m not in a healthy environment but you honestly comfort me I always remember/ed you helping me lmfao<3
