Please tell me ♥️I would appreciate It
@@minenhlekunene9552 If youre not ready to come out yet you dont have to. I personally dont think I'll ever be ready to come out to parents. But if you are ready this video should help: ua-cam.com/video/nOTGhLItQXE/v-deo.html
On my birthday, my family are planning to go to France (with me ofc) so I might come out then
I’ve told my friends but not my parebts
I haven’t come out yet, But I plan to July 5, 2022
Givin me a lil less than a year to mentally prepare TvT
My coming out🌈
I just came out to my parents some months ago
I didn’t want to have a weird conversation like „mum, dad, I have to tell you something“ as if it would be something to worry about, cause it just isn’t.
I was dating a girl that time who my parents knew very well. They were standing in the kitchen, we had a little conversation and I just said „You both know that I havs something with (name) don‘t you?“
They were like „yeah we thought about it, but don‘t worry, there are happening so many bad things in the world, that’s the least you have to think about“
You can‘t imagine how happy I was in this moment🥺😍
Lauren your video is amazing, I love the idea to bring so many different people together to share their stories🌈
Lilly :)
Awww oh my gosh this story warms my heart 💜 I’m so glad they were so chill about it! That’s amazing. And thank you!! I really think it’s important to hear from a bunch of different people bc they all have different experiences but we can still relate to them :))
Its so nice to see people who are comfortable and happy with their sexuality and gender.
yes! i makes me really happy, and hopefully will show that there is hope and an accepting place for others who want to come out
I came out using a letter. It really worked and today I openly talked about being bisexual and about my LGBTQ+ friends to my dad. This is a big step for me because I had a lot of anxiety surrounding the subject.
You are strong and valid 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ 💖💜💙
Awww I am so glad that you had a positive experience! also congrats on coming out, I know how scary it is, so proud of u!
Proud of you!! 💜💜💜
Proud of you to 👍✨✨✨
I came out to my friends at a get together. It was in the summer holidays and we were all at my friends house getting changed to go swimming. I was getting changed in my friends closet. When I finished changing I slammed open the door and screamed: IM COMING OUT THE CLOSET! All my friends started laughing and didn’t realise what I acctually meant. And then one of my friends asked wait… do u mean ur gay. I said yes and they all took it really well!
My advice is have fun with it because if you are happy and excited their response will hopefully be positive🏳️🌈❤️😉
awww haha i love your story! you have really great friends! that's true, if you know your friends well, they will be happy for you when you tell them!
I fully came out yesterday to my mom. It started a few weeks ago when I started to read some queer books. I felt safe enough to talk to my mom about it because I knew how accepting she was even though the country we live in is not really kind to members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I never intended to continue the conversation after that but it came up and I kind of came out. I told her that I have a crush and I told her my feelings. She was completely accepting and only told me to be open to different things and not to close any doors yet. I love her and I’am so happy to have such a supportive family.❤
I came out last week! I’d just broken up with my boyfriend of two years, because I realised I was lesbian, and I told my parents why I’d broken it off. They were actually surprisingly nonchalant about it, my dad was like ‘no way I had no idea’ 😂
Wow that’s awesome!! I wish you the best!! ❤️❤️🖤🖤
Thank you for including me in this video!! ❤️❤️❤️
Of course!! thank you so much for sharing ur story 💜💜
I still havent come out. And honestly i dont know if i am lesbian. I think it. Or i could be bi. I have told it my cousin and she is the only person who will ever understand me. She was just so nice and i felt so happy. I wish i could tell it more people but i cant. And that makes me really sad. 😥
Anyway thanks for this video it helped me a lot to accept who i am😍
You are inspiring me so much❤
Hey! That is completely okay! You are allowed to be confused, it’s totally normal. Take your time figuring yourself out, there is no rush to know 💓💓 keep exploring your feelings and listening to other Lgbt people’s experiences (I found that helped me in the beginning). But that’s amazing that you have one person who you can trust and lean on for support at the moment, proud of u.
@@laurenelloise ❤❤❤
It was really great to hear many humans stories, great video 🥰
i think it’s really helpful to hear other people’s experiences. heck, even now 5 yrs later after coming out it’s still helpful
My coming out story 🌈
*I still haven’t come out I am still a teen* and I only want to come out to my parents when I start to date someone the same gender as me 🙊🙊🙊🙊🥲❤️
I found this hard to type but it’s fine ✨✨
You are completely valid! You’re allowed to stay in the closest as long as you like, there are no rules 💜💜
@@laurenelloise Yay tysm ❤️🥺☺️
@@shwethaellapparadja3763 have not come out yet because for the same reason.
this video honestly makes me really happy. my coming out story is something i like to call “still in the works” because a lot of my trauma and how i respond to certain things stems from that experience. Culture is a huge factor when it comes to homophobia in my family,, and unfortunately that means that i may never be able to fully come out to them. i’ve been forced out of the closet TWICE and yet they are still in denial of it. And i’ve kind of just learned to accept that i don’t need their acceptance or validation to like who i like. i’ve sort of conditioned myself for the worse when the “real” confrontation and realization will happen for them when they realize i’m actually gay and it wasn’t just someone else influencing me. But until then i’ve learned to just live with being in that gray area. i just know that once i get out of here for REAL i can truly express myself and i can’t wait for that :))
I have been struggling to work out who I am all my adult life, I am now 43 , I just recently accepted that I am pansexual and came out to my work colleagues and a couple of close friends last week. Last night I put up a Facebook post to tell everyone else and off the back of that had a telephone conversation with mum and dad. I'm relieved to say that everyone has been really supportive, I just wish that I'd figured it out earlier.
Thank you so much for this. I am still figuring out what I am and who I feel I should be. You are a huge inspiration to me and always will be!!! 🥰😁😁😁
you're so welcome 💜 Take your absolute time, there's no rush to know. and aww :') thanku
That’s the best comment that tells it all ☀️🎉 thx Aeri and Lauren
Lauren's eyeshadow, love it!!
🥺 thank you! (my sis helped me with this)
You're so incredible, keep it up, always keep inspiring and much love my friend ❤️🙏
Thank you lots! 😇💜 will do
@@laurenelloise You're welcome 🙏
Amazing video Lauren!!! I loved it.
As a _small_ youtuber (this is my alt account)
I would like to know how to come out to an audience, or tips. I'm not sure if you've done a video on this before, but it would be appreciated if you made this kind of video.
Hope everyone had a wonderful wear it purple day!💜
Openly wearing purple on Friday might be a good start to my journey joining the LGBTQ+ community! Hopefully that gets some notice…
Oh that would be a great way to start! 💜
@@laurenelloise is it only an Australia thing?
you don’t have to be Australian to join in! it started in Australia by a group of school kids and then grew to an organisation/charity :)) so wear it purple focused mainly on Australia schools but hopefully others are joining in too!
Thank you for this. Still have no idea how im coming out to my mom or if i ever will
Thank you for this great video and most importantly is at least start the conversation and make sure your safe in telling yourself first then who is important to you
Yes yes yes! 🙌 that’s exactly right
So i'm planing to come out soon, and this kind of videos help me a lot to Get ideas of coming out, how they could react or what questions i should be ready for. But to all the people who, like me, didn't come out, i want to tell you that there is a whole comunity who support's you and are the same
Dont be afraid to come out but still you have to be prepared for everything that might happen
When u told about wearing purple day I went straight to my closet and started digging, I endend up realising I have no purple clothes;-;
Aw dang! There’s always next year! (Also other things like hair ties, nail polish, bracelets, socks, etc too)
Amazing Coming out Stories, your so brave and Amazing. Love u all. ❤
OMG Purple is my favorite color! 💜
Omg it's been so long i missed your videos so much 🥺
Yaaaaay welcome back! 🖤🖤 tysm for being here
UwU ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ❤
Yay, such good content for the world to exist 🙌!
With everything going on atm, i think this just happened to be the right time to make this video ❤️
Happy National coming out day!!!
Same to you!
This helped thank you 😊
i came out to my girl best friend as lesbian a month ago. little did i know she was lesbian too and she came out that same day! She was happy for me gave my advice about coming out to other people, which i cant because evryone else i know is homophobic so i have not old anyone else. but i do have a crush on my girl best friend ( the one i came out to) and im planning on telling her soon!
As a father of qeer daughter, I'm sad that people still "have to come out". When my 14year daughter told me that she have feelings to her friend who spend constantly sleepovers in our house, I just told to my daughter that lets go to IKEA to buy you wider bed so her froend dont have to sleep on the floor. I'm sire she didnt but that was my way to tell my daughter that everything is normal.
I plan to come out when I have a gf and just say to my parents "I have someone that I would like to introduce to you....... this is my gf her name is ... and she is ... years old this was a great video and lauren you just remind me how important my security is to me
thanks a lot for this video (:
aww ur so welcome 😇🌈
Thanks!
you're a legend, thank you for being so generous
Hii :)
congrats on being first 🏆
Am I the only one listening to this with my head phones / ear phones so no one can hear 😂😂😬🥲
Awww hahah 🙈🖤🖤🖤
I TECHNICALLY didn't come out. My family kinda found me and pulled me out of the closet. So basically, I have this ONE friend that knows I'm a gender fluid lesbian, and my family went on my phone and saw my messages and they told me about it and asked if I was lesbian, and I couldn't hold it in any longer and I told them the truth and cried about not being accepted. But they actually accepted me so that's great 😅
firstly, im sorry you didn't get to choose to come out. and sorry that they went through your phone, that's not fair, you have a right to privacy ❤️ but i am very proud of you for having the courage to tell them the truth. and i am so happy that they took it well!!
I came out in snpachat. It wasn't a big deal for me and I just dropped it.(this was the coming out to my friends)
My coming out story
So I just got outa school
And my friend had said r u bi?
Bc I am
I said maybe???
Because I never thought about that I didn't know what bi meant
Anyway
My mom picked me up and she said how was the first day?
I said amazing I have a friend her names lucy
She said oh cool
I said she asked me somethin I wasn't sure about
She said oh what?
I said she asked if I was bi
And I said m-m-maybe???
She said WHAT
Like not in a bad way just surprised
So I started earning crushes one of them maybe being u lauren maybe even galpal
FastForward to now

I'm now lesbian and I go by they/them Pronouns
Haven't told any of my family
But my best friend and you ofc
Can u read this with galpal???
I love u both so much!!
Love ur fan Kayden
I'm about to come out to my crush, and I'm just sooooo scared. Any word of advice from y'all?
Loved this inspiring video! I have been very confused the past year or so and I know that I'm definitely not lesbian cause I'm into boys but I think I'm bi but I'm not so sure yet. My best friend is bi and came out a couple of months ago and I think I have a crush on her. I kinda already want to come out and I know my parents would be supportive but I just don't know how. I'm just so confused and I would like to know how to know if your bi. ❤
I need a little help. I am a pre teen, I am 99.9% sure I am bisexual I have dropped hints to my mom but she said I'm to young and to not label it. The only person who knows other than my friends is my tia and I really have know idea how my family will react and I don't know what to do.
One of the girls in my school figured out I wasn't straight with her 'gayder' and she was the first person I told that I was bi
I came out🌈 to my cousin first and he was so excepting and nice about it so I thought that my sister my sister the person I'm supposed to be able to tell everything to is now threatening to out me to our homophobic parents if I do something that she don't like😡😡 ps. She is a hard core Christian and this has really put into perspective for me who my real family is and who I can truly trust sadly my sister is not one 😔😔
First also hi
Omg I think it was a tie 🏆🤭 ya too fast
i am gay. and i don't know how to tell my best friend because her mom is very religious and i dont want stuff to change. what do i do?:[
Lauren, you are so beautiful !!!!!
:'))) thank youuuuu
My parents always say your husband so the next time they say it I am just going to blurt out that i am gay I will edit this once I have come out. 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈❤🧡💛💚💙💜💕
Is it bad that I think I'm bi and nonbinary at 9?
Nope that's totally fine and ur VALID ASF!!!! And it's totally fine if ur labels change or if u find out u aren't :) just don't forget: LABELS DON'T DEGINE YOURSELF!!!
Of course it’s not bad! Just keep exploring your identity and learning more about how you feel. That’s the most important thing.
@@Izzy-lh8mv thank you!
@@laurenelloise thanks!
Ofcourse not !!there's nothing wrong with realising at a young age or when being older !!like it's cool either if a person realizes it at 10 or at 50 !!you're still valid!!
i never came out 😔
Thx i need to tell my mum she will suspect that because all my teachers call me shea and thats not the name my mum gave me
Maybe, but maybe she won't. If you're worried, you could ask one of your teachers for help/advice with telling your mum (they obviously support you by calling you by what you prefer). wishing you the best. only come out though when you are comfortable!
I'm ontime 😁
Welcome to the early gang 🥺
im using my dads account your my remodel queen
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
💗💗💗💗 tysm for joining and sharing ur experience
Ummm I'm a 11 and I'm Bi...😳
And that’s okay! Some people know from a young age who they like. And some people figure it out later. What’s most important is that you allow yourself to explore your feelings 😇💜💜💜
u r the absolute cutest
