Just came across your Channel and videos and I thank you and your family. As a 67 Year old Gay Man I was one of the lucky ones who's family was always supportive even way back in the early 1970's. Even though they didn't totally understand at first I never doubted their unconditional love and support. I wish more LGBT kids could have the experiences your and my family went through. Thank you again for posting your journey. I believe it will help many other families.
Your dad wanting a daughter in law was so cute. Love this family!
+Logan Funniest part of the video.
Amazing family and very handsome too , living in London but coming from country much less tolerant is so difficult, last month I had my 32 birthday and still haven't been able to come out yet , I am exhausted mentally and I know the day is not to far away when at least I will open with someone from my family or close friend back home , I miss being myself 100% and not living in fear , but in last few days I have feeling I won't be in closed for to long, I am sure coming out will also help me to accomplish professional and personal goals as well , living a lie and suffering form depression doesn't help at all , this video just make me realise that we have only one life and if we don't live it authenticity we never gonna be happy .
It will get better for everyone out there ,thanks for sharing this video xxx
What an example your family is setting. How powerful is unconditional love!
I loved the honesty that radiates from each and every one of you . Made me feel extremely fuzzy and overly emotional for all of you, coz I felt like I wanted to hug and kiss you all ... This is what relationships , evolution and understanding should be and respecting everyone's uniqueness which is at the centre of it all .
I am so happy to see similar parents to mine, who have accepted their kids to be who they are and like good parents have helped them evolve , in-turn evolving themselves.
BIG HUGS N KISSES ... ESPECIALLY TO YOUR MUM AND DAD ...MWAH !!!
I hope you know how fortunate you are. The parents are truly special.
The loving and open communication your family has is inspiring but the one who touched me the most was your Dad. His attitude is rare and should be something for all Dads to aim for. Stop and think. These are your children and deserve to be loved.
This video made me think that if it helps improve the life of just one young person, that it performed a miracle.
This 4 video series is such an important one and I think it's so great that it's on here!
I am an only child,and I have sooo many lgbt cousins:) My big family is pretty understanding and we feel we are all truly blessed. So Justin and family, I would like to share who one of my gay cousins is--right in your hometown in the big TO!
My cousin is Michael Leshner and his partner Michael Stark were the first gay couple to be married in CANADA when the law went into effect in 2004! Check out the Wikipedia article, The Michaels...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Michaels
It took us 12 long years here in the States to accomplish that.
Back to the topic of lgbt kids, acceptance, understanding, etc, this video is not just for families with multiple glbt siblings, children, etc One will do just fine:) It is for str8 people, it is for everyone! Thank you for a job well done!
Lovely and so wonderful that you are young enough to share these experiences with each other as they are happening. I am 61 and still have not had the opportunity to share so openly with my family.
Came across this channel by coincidence. Happy for you and siblings for being gay and your parents for being unbelievably accepting. That is what parents should be. Great work and keep up the great mix of information and humour. Subscribed and watch the whole #gayforjustin. From Malaysia.
I used to know a gay man who had 7 brothers and two sisters. Six of his brothers were gay and one of his sisters was lesbian. That's wild!
Markus Hayden Sutherland when one comes out all the others realise they can too
Markus Hayden Sutherland no way! :))
This was soo sweet and I believe it will help many people, especially parents. You have such a lovely family and mom and dad. You are so lucky!
such a role model of a loving supportive family, you all look so happy and that's wonderful
This is so beautiful Justin!!!!! It's so inspiring and heart warming that you family is so supportive and so on board! Your dad is ADORABLE
I was expecting a big "yall stay fabulous now " from all of ye at the end hahaha
Enjoyed the V-Log very much. Nice Family. Great parents. Your parents could teach a lot to other parents who are struggling with accepting their gay children.
Your family, each of you, is truly blessed
What a beautiful and unique family! Accepting one another who they are. Thanks for putting out your videos.
I just see a normal family. All families have straight gay bisexual and trans people in them...And the generations continue !!
We have to love our world and our humanity to get to the future
Justin, I don't know if you will read this since it has been three years but I cam across this and I am so glad that I did. My partner and I have a problem with his mother. She is very old school and when my partner told his mom she went ballistic and called him every name in the book and them some. His father is at the very last stag of Parkinson disease and we are not sure how much longer he will be with us. My partner wants to try to make a relationship with his mom as we both want her to be at the wedding and not siting at home. We both can't imagine this as it hurts the both of us. Anyway your videos are fantastic and especially your wonderful parents. I am going to show him these videos in hopes that we can show his mom and she will watch them and it would certainly answer most of the questions that would come up. To have your mom and dad is a major plus that I think should help her. I trust want to truly thank for these three videos. I with you and your family only the best and you are so fortunate to have such wonderful parents. Thank you so much for the help that you have not known what you have done. Hugs to you and especially hugs to you wonderful mom and dad. God Bless.
John Please let us all know how this turns out for you....we care!!! Best of luck to you all John!! 💕💙💚❤️
Thank you :) You guys really are fabulous!
That is what a family shall be.
Thank you all for sharing your experiences through this series of videos. Happy pride 🌈❤️
Amazing Family what a blessing would be so great to know them, I was rejected by my family over sexuality, especially my Mum, the pain it caused split me from my family one by one the first was a sister some 24 years ago. my last Sister and Neice was six years ago, it has been hard over the years, but I have some good friends that are my Family, and no more dysfunctional relationships, thank GOD!, I was also rejected by the Church, looking back now I think it was my non acceptance of self that took me on this journey, GOD bless the Freezen Family xxxx
Thank you for your kind words! So glad you enjoyed the video, and that you found/created a family of people who accept and love you🌈
The Gay Men Channel Thank you so much guys xxxx
Loved this. Hello from a fellow Friesen!
This makes me feels good. I'm not out yet, but i will be one day i hope and this really makes me happy!
I love how he said' I am gay obviously...' ♡
thank you all your brothers your sister and especially your parents you're very awesome parents cheers to all five of you indeed a family to be proud of!!!!!
Just had to say the bi brother is extremely good looking. Beautiful family, heartwarming video!
What an amazing family! I love hearing their stories. I hope they continue to put more stories out. I am a gay man but it never even crossed my mind they all siblings could actually be born gay...wild. Just never thought about it...lol.
What a wonderful family. All the best to you all.
What a wonderful family! Wish everyone had this. I am one of the lucky ones in that I do. Not everyone does...but, you're right, I does get better. :-)
"Family Edition". Perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Good for y’all. Awesome parents ❤️
This video should be put out there more
One of the most powerful videos!!!
Gosh I love Canada wish I were Canadian 🙁
I love this family. They make me feel happy🤗🤗

Love this video so much
+Winny Clarke
ditto
That's one hot family ! ;)
I loved this video and all the others that I saw from your channel, it's great to see that it hasn't always bad endig (being gay)
Keep on the good work.... Excellent videos.
Love your channel and the video
Every time I'm becoming more confortable with who I am and getting excited about telling people I'm gay because of watching happy ending coming out gay videos, my rational side makes sure to remind me watch this video /watch?v=9J1cfVC_Qt0 (it's not my intention to advertise any channel) and stay grounded to the so called open minded 2016. I'm sorry, but this is the reality we are living in. It gets better...but just for a small category of people.
P.S. : At least I am happy to see you as a gay person LIVING your life, but not just exist on Earth :)
You are such a likable family
Such an inspirational share. Love wins. Proud to be gay
You guys are wonderful!
Amazing family! ♥️ Love you all!
Thanks for this video!
You are Canadians, and that helps, too!
Amazing story
Such a beautiful, loving family!
Your Family Symply The Best God Bless Ya All.
Great video Justin :)
"I hope my daughter is les so I can have a daughter in law"...hahaha, that's soooooo funny!
I am gay and I have 1 brother who’s gay too. I was hiding from him and he was hiding fro me for many years.
I dated someone for 3-4 years and my brother didn’t know. Later on I found out my brother had bf for 10 years.
He is a older brother and he said he was afraid of me if I find out about him been gay.
Anyhow, kinda long story. I meant to say that I have sibling who’s gay....
i love this family....
More than a thousand likes and less than ten dislikes. Times change

Thank you.

Great family!
Now, what's going on with the windows? Looks like they were just stuck in the walls. Is the house being renovated?
❤️❤️❤️❤️
When your dad said that he hoped his daughter was a lesbian so he could have a daughter in law it reminded me of a joke that my grandma said.
One family dinner a family of five sat down and one of the sons said that he have to say something very important he had to say and so he said it and it was “I am gay” and his family excepted him with open arms and then about 5 minutes later the other son said he had something to say and it was “I am also gay” ok the family was still excepting and then the dad looked over at the daughter and said jokingly “So will you be the one to give me a daughter in-law” and she said “Well about that... Yes I will be” and then the father and the mother jumped up and started to dance and sing.
Is your brother single 😉
Your dad kinda looks like Flula
Rock on! Don kinda looks like Henry Rollins.... great look!
To the parents: If being gay is a question of nurture, can you tell us how you got it so right.
Why don't they have the same family name?
+HelloElo They do, Justin Gerhard is a staged name, real name is Jason Friesen
Are you guys Canadian?
Yes they are
2 of my 3 kids are gay :)
2020
I was wondering aboot Gerhard and the windows.
That Canadian accent
It's a dead give-away when they say 'about'.
+budgie
A boot, you know, the thing you put on your foot.
Or in the UK, the storage bit at the back of your vehicle.
trippedonlight I didn't say a boot, I said aboot.
Thanks for the giggle.
It doesn't will matter. Bat. I see. In this. Family. They is. Big. Love.
Hey guys i makes videos with my lgbt friends an i think you might like them. If you do message me, I love making new friends.
Isn’t it funny how you can always tell a man is gay by his eyes!
so you have LGB and no T unfortunately. good shit though
Thanks, we felt it would be a little forced to try and incorporate something that wasn't truly part of our family story. So glad you enjoyed it!!!! Xo
Anyone else kinda questioning the sexuality of the father?
I'm glad I don't buy Adidas anymore
Sad
