I just want to let you guys know I still read all the comments. :) There's a lot of them, but I read every one and thank every single one of you for your kind words. It makes me so happy inside from your words of encouragement. And to anyone out there who is in contemplation of coming out, I hope all goes well for you the day that you do. Much love. <3

Your mother abused you. She ought to be ashamed of herself. People that put religion over their own families are completely despicable. You are smart. Put your knowledge to work for you.

My mom keeps hinting at it. "Is there something you want to tell me?" "You know I'll always love you no matter what, right?" She told me the other day that she doesn't care if I brought home a man from the moon because as long as I'm happy, she'll be happy...and I STILL can't get the words to come out of my mouth.

It's sad that some people think we actually choose who we like, they don't choose to be straight. We don't choose to be gay. We were born this way and I'm honestly so proud of you. Thank you so much for your story :)
SO many people, like you said, will always be here for you. Me included. I love your videos and you seem like a awesome person.

It's so depressing, I just hate religious fanatism T.T

Came from a similar background. Graduated H.S. shortly before my 17th birthday and joined the Air Force when I turned 17. You will never get fundamentalists to accept you and you can forget that. Live your life the way that you are and remember that God, in his infinite wisdom, made you who you are and he did not make any mistakes. I am 76 now and had a 36 year relationship which only ended with his death of a heart attack when he was 59. You seem to be a bright, intelligent and handsome young man (from your video). Life is precious, live it to the fullest and if your relatives don't like it, tough! They are the ones missing out by not really knowing you.

I am sorry that your family has treated you so poorly. Your story is powerful and one that needs to be heard. You will marry the man of your dreams someday, and I hope your family comes to their senses and fully supports you both.

I came out in around 1979, when I wrote a letter to the editor concerning two boys that were kicked out of Disneyland for dancing together. I simply said that two women could, and do, dance together and no one thinks anything about it, but two guys, its bad. Wow, I got so many people writing the paper, they came to me to insure I responded, so I did. My family was split, most against my stance, some for, but no one asking if I was gay. Then the Editor asked me to write a final rebuttal, and gave me copies off four letters, and I was supposed to "hit a home run" for gay rights, so I drew facts from the gay library in Hollywood, and wrote the rebuttal saying simply that, as an American I took personal offense to their attitudes, as would the following, and listed 100 famous Americans. I got offered a job by the paper, as they felt gay rights was the final civil rights issue. They got it part right. I didn't take the job, came out to everyone, but no one seemed to care anymore. I have written a book on aspects of gay life, older and younger relationships, and, at 67, know it gets much better as you get older. Persevere and you will excel. Now, if I can just manage to get videos uploaded to my channel, I can help others, like you are. Love you, and all you do. corbpi

calvin, what a tough story to tell, so thank you for sharing. terry and i have been together for 33 years and coming out in the 80's wasn't easy, but the quality of person you are inside is what helps people understand things a little bit better and you have discovered that. whether you feel like it or not, you are a stellar role model and i wish you the best of good fortune, long life, and happiness. hugs, brooks

It is so amazing to me that this boy's story is not unlike the experience of young boys from the 60's and 70's...I thought we were more advanced than this in this day and age...he may as well have been born in 1950 with the experience he has had.

Really sorry to hear about your experience :( I find it hard to understand how parents can do that to their own children. It's like hitting a puppy, and the little pup can't understand why it's being punished. Stay strong bro, it sounds like you're pretty robust and you will thrive no matter what

#HappyNationalComingOutDay Remember, only do so when you're ready and feel safe. You're brave and I hope the best for you. I'm happy this video has helped some of you out there. :) Much love, Calvin.

I came out to my mother and that was the biggest mistake of my life. The friends I had told that I was gay all supported me but she called me horrible things 'till this very day. My mother is the only bully in my life right now which breaks my heart because I needed her support the most. I'm now living with this but I don't know what to do. I feel shitty everyday and it's killing me inside.

It took my mom 8 years to fully be okay with my sexuality. She would tell me I was too young to have sex, that I should pray it away, that it was a phase, that I should just get a girlfriend and it'll change me, force me to go to church more, but all it did was make me do was respect her less and less. One day she was saying negative things about my sexuality and I snapped on her. It reached the climax when I came home from a christian convention that she had sent me to. One of the seminars was about homosexuality. The preacher said gays were going to hell and they were worthless. The moment I got home, I told her I didn't believe in god anymore because any deity who tells me my love is an abomination or lesser or perverse or what have you, is not a god I want to follow. She was pissed but a couple months later, she realized I was much happier when she stopped forcing me to go to church, and then gave me my space. Fast forward to the present; we still may not agree on a lot of things, but she's finally okay and accepting. It took a long time, but family can come around. There may be a long bumpy road, but it can get better. Calvin, I really hope your family comes around. Thanks for sharing.

I am so incredibly proud of you for being so unbelievably brave, being able to accept yourself the way you are even in the difficult situation that you have been in, and I am so sorry that your family and your mum in particular reacted the way she did. It is so courageous of you to make this video, and I absolutely admire you for believing in yourself, breaking away from your family, finding your own place, making your own path with your friends and the people that believe in you. You deserve to live life as the perfect and wonderful and unique person you are, without having to change yourself to please anyone else, and I dearly hope that you live and love happily, and have a loving prosperous life, and find love, and marry a man someday, despite your circumstances. The fact that you have had the strength to live through, film and upload this is truly so admirable of you and i honestly admire and love you so much for this. Thank you so much for sharing your story, as I know it has helped me, to know that you can do it, and I'm sure it will help many others also. I love you so much, and think you are incredible, and wonderful, and I hope you have an incredible life. Good luck with the rest of your journey <3

I feel your pain Calvin. My family is very similar to yours when it comes to the subject of being gay. Comedy moment, I came out to my parents over a pork sandwich when my mother started yelling at me for stupid stuff and the subject came up. I was thrown out of the house, called and told so many things it hurts just thinking about it. Finally they told me I could come home if I "Prayed the Gay away" and I accepted. It was the worst feeling in my life having to stand there and tell them that I would "Change my ways". To this day they still believe that I prayed the gay away. My biggest regret is going back into the closet and if I could do it all over I probably would. No parent should make their child feel or go through what some of us have. A parents is supposed to love their child unconditionally, not make terms and agreements. Anyways, thank you for sharing! Don't take this the wrong way when I say I find it a relief to find someone who went through some of the same things I did when coming out. Many blessings to you and any boyfriend you are with!

Oh, you have had the worst experience, you're so strong despite it. People don't understand how difficult it is to go against everything you've ever been taught and everything you've ever known because you don't fit in with that ideology! I wish you all the best in the future, stick to your guns, you will make the world a better place I'm sure of it! :)

I was just watching your video again, it's been a month since I watched it the first time. It's just so heart wrenching to hear your story about how your own family treats you. I don't know why supposed "Christians" are always the most judgemental of everyone. I know Jesus loves you and accepts you as you are and sees you as perfect and complete. That's the nature of God and forgiveness...salvation...ect. Don't ever change one bit. Your awesome and very inspirational to me and others. Your story gives me strength. Love is the key and that's what makes you strong and amazing. Even after being treated like you have been you still love your mom and family and that's just incredible. That's true Christianity and spirituality.!!!

I can't imagine anyone not being proud to have you for a son. Keep on being you, Calvin, and you'll be just fine.
