"I was totally fine with it until I wasn't fine with it" I legit think about this sentence on a regular basis because it completely describe my entire life
I'm in the stage currently where I have accepted it in my head, but not out loud. It's like my own little secret with just me. I totally understand why Rose said she liked that feeling, because I'm in it right now.
I was 28 when I came out to my parents, but had been identifying as a lesbian since age 18. This was year 1988. I think one of you girls were born in 1988. I wrote a letter to my parents, sent it through the mail, and then waited for their phone call. We were in the midst of the AIDS crisis and all my gay men friends had died and West Hollywood was a ghost town. We lesbians tried to take care of them, but I went to so many memorials that eventually I just had to stop going. My parents were not pleased, but not surprised. I don't think coming out today is any easier for anyone. It is still hard not to be scared to tell your loved ones that you are different. We are all afraid of rejection. Even at this age, every new friend I make eventually I have to have that awkward discussion all over again and it gets old. I am not your usual aged fan base for these videos, but I like to watch them because you make me laugh, and I love to see the love. It is nice to see bisexuality represented, as I believe the LGBT community does discriminate against bisexuals. Well done young ladies. You are funny and make me laugh so much. Much love from Oregon, USA
Have you seen her first coming out strory video? She is pretty serious there too, it's called "READ THE DESCRIPTION BOX OR DIE TRYING" and she is so freaking lovely there ;]
I really don't understand why people feel like same sex is bad, and how people can hate themselves for liking the same sex. Im a straight guy and i like watching shows about gay and lesbian people lives, i like some non macho stuff like matching colors of my cloths, and i guarantee you people would say i was gay for liking those things. And you know what I would just say ya i like it. I am comfortable in my sexuality and don't need people to acknowledge me. I never understood why should gay and lesbian people have to go through so much shit. If there are any gay and lesbian people reading my message, you are human you are not freak, you are not messed up, you are you. I feel sorry for you if you parents don't support your lifestyle, even if i don't know you know i support you, so even if that doesn't mean much at least you have someone who supports you even if its not directly. I hope all who read this find happiness with the one they are meant to be with be it man or women.
Miceal Poil I just read this today and I think your so Kind, Thank you for being so True and for letting us realize that we should love our selves despite being hated by some. I like how you think!
Miceal Poil omg you just describe me im a straight girl and like my mom saw me once watching a gay show and she was like omgggg are you gay ? do you like women? and i was like mom just because im watching this doesnt make me gay i just feel comfortable watching it cuz i dont think thats weird and thats not going to change my sexuality like sometimes i get shit like oh you support lgbt people so youre gay , if youre gay im going to tell you the same thing i told my friend when he told me he was gay you are a beautiful person who deserves the best you are not weird youre not a freak and if someone in your life doesnt accept you for who you are they dont deserve to be by your side
I love everything about silly Rose, but there is something so refreshingly incredible about serious Rose, and I just love it. This video is amazing and I'm glad you finally are happy and comfortable being who you are, and it's inspiring for the rest of us still trying to figure it out. 21 years into life, and I'm really starting to think I haven't got a clue.. hahah
i'm 19 and have only now accepted in my head that i'm lesbian. I tell myself i'm bi but gosh and jeebus know i'm not. idk why I can't tell anyone but hopefully I'll figure it out. good luck to you too :)
I'm not gay but this almost brought me to tears. This is absolutely gorgeous; you have such a way with words; an eloquence that I can only hope to attain. A definite must-watch for all people who are struggling with coming to terms with who they are in the sexuality department. The passion in your voice and your eyes is infatuating and contagious, especially when you speak of Rosie. The compassion and love that you radiate is so profound and moving. You are so well-spoken, Rose, it's a gift! This video makes it obvious that you spoke solely from your heart :)
I am still trying to come to terms with the fact that I am a lesbian. I accept it- but I have a very very hard time telling other people that I am gay.
You don't have to tell every person you meet that you're gay and even if it comes up in conversation,it's not like you are inclined to tell them.Tell those closest to you but it doesn't have to be everybody.
I did for a while too. I very recently began to tell people. I'm now open with it and I must admit, I feel so much better. I'm telling you, you WILL feel better. And you WILL be happy. Trust me. For me, personally, it took a fresh start (Going to boot camp) to allow me to be open with it. As I was going in, I decided I would no longer hide it, or wait till someone asked. My girlfriend wouldn't just be my "friend" in my stories. I was done with that. When I got out of boot, I was fully open. Even put my relationship status on facebook. I no longer care what old friends, or even family think about it. And I am so happy I did it. It's made a world of a difference. And you WILL be surprised of the reactions you can get. I have had some people literally pull me aside and tell me how strong I am for being able to be ok with my sexuality. Had so many people come to me telling me they are gay, and needing support that I was never given. It is such a great moment. For the first time in your life, not being afraid of who you are and not worrying about judgment... So relieving. Trust me. You WILL get there. And you will be happy :)
***** And just for the record, feeling like you can only tell the people closest to you, still feels sort of like a trap. Like you are telling some secret only your closest friends can find out. I'm not saying walk up to people and introduce yourself like "Hi. I'm _____ and I'm gay." (Although I literally do that for fun now :D ) I'm just saying don't hide it. If it comes up, be open. Don't hide anything. No reason to.
Jess Karpovich The worst part is religious bullying! Where they threaten you and accuse you and be little you. But they are just being bullies. Religion is what you make it. Faith comes from within, not without. Nobody can give you faith so you have to ignore the bullies!
Since fucking when does rose take anything seriously. I'm freaking out I love this so much I'm starting a petition for more serious rose videos. So damn intelligent, so well said, so much love for you
When she started talking seriously and looking straight in the camera... for the first time, I felt like someone from a video was talking straightly at me. I found myself not able to take my eyes off the screen and looking directly into those eyes. I never liked green eyes but now she's the second person I've learned to love those eyes with. I appreciated her more because of this: with all the openness and sincerity, it wasn't just about her but a great number of humanity. Her words doesn't just apply to being gay but to every person who's ever gone through anything or is still going through things in their life. I love this.
"Anybody who makes their lives work to hurt other people really needs a little bit of self-reflection. They need to be happier. They need to be happier. " ..She is such a great human being.
Whoa Rose being all serious near the end not something you normally see but when it happens wow! She really knows how to stir up all them feelings, that was so moving!
I have never heard such an enthralling, personal and unique story, absolutely fascinating, thank you Rose! I would LOVE to hear Rosie's story because (as a bi girl) it often feels like bisexuals are really sidelined in the LGBT community and sexuality can be so confusing and changeable and hard to get to grips with sometimes - would mean a lot to have your side of the story Rosie!!
I had a spectrum of realization about the world. My first realization was "Everybody has a little gay in them" However, it completely changed into "Everybody has a little bisexual in them." My current one is, "Everybody has love in them." Because fuckit, Love is. Love is.
Best 17:15 minutes of therapy I actually needed for free right here, Thanks for finally making this video, it's made me open my eyes bout a lot that has been going on in my life lately.
Stories like this remind me how much gays and asexuals really do have in common. I relate to the secrecy and childhood shame, to trying to force myself to be attracted to the opposite sex, and to accepting my (a)sexuality without wanting to come out to everyone.
'In life there will be a time where you meet that one person and that one person will be absolutely perfect for you.' ♡ thanks for giving me hope, Rose.
This is why I love watching your content, you are just a real person being who you want to be and proud of it. I really hope youtube goes really well for you and you continue for a long time.
Rose, I'm a 20 year old straight Australian male and adore your videos, thank you I think you're one of the most honest, kindest and most positive people on youtube thank you for everything you do
As a lesbian with OCD and a history of depression, this really resonated with me. The love you have for your attraction to women is so incredible, and I have so much respect and admiration for it. I'm really glad you felt compelled to tell this story; it did a lot for me, and I can only imagine how much it will do for SO many others. Thank you :)
I think you underestimate how much this will help some people. You're truly doing some good and it's so inspiring to watch. The world needs more people like you. From me and the thousands of people who will be inspired and given hope from this video; thank you, Rose.
Your story is so very sweet, fallen tampons and all. Thank you for sharing. There is a certain authenticity to you and Rosie that is sadly not as common as it should be in the world. Had I known you or someone like you when I was younger I would have been proud to call you my friend.
That was beautiful, thank you! I'm not gay, but I was really moved by what you said about "needing to learn to love the part of yourself that is unique and different; and doing so will allow you to love others fully" (obviously I'm paraphrasing here). No matter what our sexual orientation, everyone needs to hear that message every once in a while; I certainly did, and it only served to remind me why I subscribed to your channel in the first place. You and Rosie are hilarious and entertaining, yes, but more importantly you two often have very insightful things to say as well. So thanks again! :)
This is the most pure side of Rose and it's only so sweet. Normally, I hate motivational type of speeches, but surprisingly you made it sound so calming.
I really needed this, I'm almost 18 and in my final year of high school and being this long in the closet is kinda suffocating so this is a really nice reassurance. the part where you said "just be" really resonated with me, I have anxiety and I tend to overthink things and complicate things which doesn't help. you're an inspiration, I am proud to be gay and I'm so happy that I am :) love you rose
***** I do that too, I have lots of gay, bi, pan, transgender internet friends, it's really cool :) I just want people outside to know too! Thanks for the help :D
I can relate to your coming out story a lot. I knew I was gay when I was 13 but accepted it when I was 18. Thanks to you, I had the confidence to come out when I turned 19.
this was honestly so powerful and it genuinely made me cry for about 5 minutes after the video finished because it was so real and just different to most of these videos. you are honestly an amazing lady Rose and thank you for being so real and just making me feel like I am of importance and that I do matter :) this video was relly helpful thank you thank you thank you xx
I am 23yrs old and just came out to my parents. Just like you mentioned, I needed time to come into my own before I let others in. I want to thank you because this video helped me in so many ways. I am a genuinely happier person because of you. Thank you, From a very loyal fan
You are such a smart, inspiring, enjoyable young lady. I so agree with everything you just said, especially the part about loving freely and unashamed. That is the most exhilarating, powerful feeling in the world when you give yourself away with full abandon to someone else and let them love you completely publicly and openly with no shame and full pride. It is the way love was meant to be experienced. Thank you.
I have been a fan of the rose's since more or less day one that they appeared. First I have to say I'm a straight male, 63 my beautiful wife passed away going on 8 years now and their humor and love for each other is one of the reasons I'm still here! It doesn't matter who you love as long as you just love someone, and there's no reason to hate or pick on people who want to live a different life than you. They have always proven that love and comedy and just trying to be good and kind to everyone else out there and you will brighten someone's day no matter who or what they are. Now with little Ziggy it's just showing they have plenty more years to go making our days brighter. God bless us all
This is seriously my favorite coming out video I've ever seen, because among her silliness there's an amazing genuine and serious tone. Rose is seriously the best speaker in this way. She makes it so entertaining and so sweet.
To be completely honest, Rose, this is the best coming out story I've ever heard! You have no idea how much I can relate to you, and this is very important to me, because I've accepted myself but haven't told anybody about it. You, Rosie, Kaelyn, Lucy and Hannah Hart have definitely helped me a lot with this, and I am more than grateful for finding you all on the interwebs. Thank you so much for sharing your story! Thank you for being so kind and honest! Thank you for uploading the videos, thank you for making me laugh! I love you!
I'm doing a Rose and Rosie rewatch, and this vid helped me as a teen. Like high school me who'd been out since the seventh grade definitely didn't realize it, but college me has realized how much seeing R & R's story and presence helped my work through my internalized homophobia/biphobia. So here's a thank you to Rosie and Rose--for being themselves ❤️❤️❤️
Waw I really needed that. I'm 16 and going throught a lot of stuff at the same time including things related to my sexual orientation and what you said just really comfort me. Thanks Rose! :)
This is brilliant. Thank you for sharing your story. I am in my 30s (yay) I wish I had people like you and Rosie when I was a teenager! You guys are doing a great thing! I was so distressed about being gay ( I grew up Mormon which is like a living hell), and now I have been with my wife for 14 years, but, I always needed a role model in my teen years! Keep on keeping on! I know you and Rosie are helping so many people, and you guys prob hear that a lot, but , its very true! The world needs more people like you! Take care!
Most relatable story to me. Being a tomboy as a kid hanging out with boys and always thought how attractive some girls are, and focusing on the female characters rather than the men in movies. I liked caring for the girls and acting like a gentleman or something. Growing up, whenever I saw someone whom I was actually very attracted to (wasn't aware tho lol) I always had those butterflies and my heart raced and got real happy. The signs were always there. Was just too drunk happy and being in the moment that I didn't acknowledge them. Only did when i started questioning lol. Thanks so much for sharing :)
I like to watch your videos over and over again and I'm not even gay. You have a wonderful personality and ability of turning straight girl gay. AND you have such a fluency in speaking that I envy you. Damn gurl...
that speech about accepting that part of you and be scared of that is really truthful. How much I struggled (and I'm still struggling) to find my identity and be open with others. I wish I had courage to tell everyone I'm bisexual. I'm starting giving hints here and there, especially to people I feel like I can trust and see what happens. I just hope it will sort out by itself..
I've watched so many coming out videos, but this is by far the one that has helped me the most. Until I watched this video, I did not understand what it was that was holding me back from saying the words "I'm gay" aloud, but the way you phrased it, that it's not shame, it's not hiding, really helped me understand myself better. I used to feel ashamed that I know I can't come out yet. This video has entirely changed my perspective on my own coming out journey for the better. Thank you so much for that.
my 'coming out' story: I come from a society where being gay is absolutley not an option so for the last 18 years of my life I was 100% convinced I was straight. I never even thought about the possibility I could be anything other than straight. My sexuality was very clear to me until a few months ago when I stumbled on your 'Super Kiss' video. I absolutley loved that video and at first i tried to convince myself it was because I just thought you guys were adorable together. Then I started watching more of your videos and other lesbian youtubers and I kept telling myself that it's not gay at all for a straight girl to be subscribed to all the lesbian channels on youtube. Eventually I realized the reason I loved lesbian youtubers so much was because they were living a life I wanted to live. The lesbian youtube community not only helped me realize what my sexual orientation is but it also showed me that lesbians can live perfectly 'normal' lives and be in 'normal' relationships. My coming out story is not done yet but at least I came out to myself.
Thanks for sharing Rose! The part when you were talking about finding your person and learning to love the unique part of yourself was so eloquent and beautiful, really moving ❤😻
WOW REALLY JUST...WOW! You and I share the same story Rose. All the shit you went through is the shit I went through, and still am. Except in my case I keep denying my orientation and hide from reality because I'm too afraid of falling in love. I don't know what love is, I have no idea what its like to actually have someone that literally makes the world seem like a better place to be in. I don't know what its like to kiss your beloved, to hold her when she's scared or sad, to care for her when she is ill, to share your life stories with. I just don't know and probably won't ever because I am too damn scared to let myself be loved. I just don't think I'm worthy of such a beautiful thing. Omg I'm gonna stop now, this is too deep.
For you, I hope so. For me...I'm not sure I can handle it. I am TERRIFIED, I mean you heat about people having feat of heights, spiders, small spaces and the such. But I have a strong fear, phobia almost, of falling in love because I know what I am capable of. I cannot risk falling and then failing in the end I will literaly die. Once I'm in a relationship I give it my all no holding back. I've seen what it does to people and I refuse to lose the bit of sanity I have left on something so perilous. Yes I'm being dramatic but with good reason.
Ive just recently discovered this channel. Coming out was a hard thing for me to do. For me I had to come out twice. To my family and to the military. My parents weren't on board. They thought oh im just confused because ive had a boyfriend all throughout high school. (Breaking up with him for a girl was difficult too). I wish I could tell anyone struggling with this that it gets better, but not all families come around. While my parents still love me, we aren't allowed to mention this any time. My ex gf, which of whom I was with for 4 years, didn't like how they were, which eventually broke us up. When I watch you two it makes me think that I dont have to hide any more. I wont be happy unless im accepted. Thank you Rose.
Your story is really inspiring, I am a not so old man and I have three daughters who talk about it, but I will not be a hindrance to them, thanks for your story.
I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS THE DAY THAT SHE ALSO FILMED THE BEGINNING OF THE PROPOSAL VIDEO (MAY 3 ?) WHEREIN SHE DECIDED SHE WAS GOING TO PROPOSE TO ROSIE.
Rose, you are amazing, I'm crying at how true and honest this is. I'm bisexual, 'in the closet' and after listening to you there I'm not coming out for a long time. I'm only 14 my life has just started! I am honestly so grateful and pleased that my friend told me to watch you and Rosie and that I found this video! Thank you for being who you are! Xx
You are an incredibly clever, brave, passionate, person Rose. I'm so glad to have found your and Rosie's channel, you girls are literally the best and your love is incredible :) You deserve all the love and support you get from your viewers, I do know that too is mutual :) x
The way you talk about your girl crushes growing up definitely struck a chord with me! I've always felt extremely emotionally connected and attracted to women, but not necessarily as much physically. Lately I've been questioning how much of my "aversion" is based on societal norms and how much is actually my sexual orientation. I can be attracted to people of all genders, although majority of my sexual experience have been with men. Yet listening to your description of the intensity of girl crushes has me questioning if I might be more gay than I originally thought. And for me, just as you, it's always been a wonderful thing! Women are great!
Also, when I was younger and I hadn't been with a guy I didn't feel that physically attracted to them but you learn it by association when you do get physical with them. And I wonder how much of me following that path is because that's just what you do. Because I didn't feel like I fitted in the category of gay or bi I must be straight? Screw the labels, we are all just humans looking for other humans that we like the most.
This is my favorite of all the coming out vlogs I've watched. You are an extraordinary young woman, and I wish Rose and you a lifetime of happiness together!
13:13 Thank you so so so much for those words. I had to cry when I first watched this video and I have probably watched this part for a dozen times since then. And it makes me feel so much better each time. Thank you 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Just wanted to let you know that this video has a huge impact on my life, looking back on it especially. I watched this video right when it came out, and I can gladly say that almost a year later, I completely understand. I had felt like I was at a crossroads in life and I had no idea which path to take, or if there even was a path for me. In the video you said that all of the obstacles would fade away after I met the right person, and that I first had to accept and love myself and the fact that I am gay in order to be ready for this person, and I don't think I have ever been this happy with the complete 360 my life has turned. Thank you!

The way she says "and then I met Rosie" is so beautiful. Just those couple words are enough to literally hear in her voice that it's true love, wow.
I LITERALLY fancied women all my life but I didn't realise that was 'gay'. I just thought everyone felt that way about women xD

Rebecca Pelsser i love your profile foto
Rebecca Pelsser OMG YEEEESSSS
Dear lord, your wife is lucky to have you
It's so refreshing to see Rose being serious, love her
Have you seen her first coming out strory video? She is pretty serious there too, it's called "READ THE DESCRIPTION BOX OR DIE TRYING" and she is so freaking lovely there ;]
I love that, even during serious videos like these, Rose keeps making jokes every once in a while. It makes it easier and not as heavy to listen to
wow I've watched a lot of coming out stories but I have never related to one as much as this one. you're so honest and open thank you for making this
yes
I'm only 15 but even up to that point I feel exactly the same
here here Thank-you for sharing ❤
Totally agree!
rightttt
I really don't understand why people feel like same sex is bad, and how people can hate themselves for liking the same sex.

You and I would be friends dude
I totally get you. I'm a straight guy & I seem to have more in common with gay men & women? It's an odd way to be for other people, not me.
Miceal Poil omg you just describe me im a straight girl and like my mom saw me once watching a gay show and she was like omgggg are you gay ? do you like women? and i was like mom just because im watching this doesnt make me gay i just feel comfortable watching it cuz i dont think thats weird and thats not going to change my sexuality like sometimes i get shit like oh you support lgbt people so youre gay , if youre gay im going to tell you the same thing i told my friend when he told me he was gay you are a beautiful person who deserves the best you are not weird youre not a freak and if someone in your life doesnt accept you for who you are they dont deserve to be by your side
"Im gonna sit on you.. And bounce some"
Lol...I know!!
lmao i had to listen to that twice
I love everything about silly Rose, but there is something so refreshingly incredible about serious Rose, and I just love it. This video is amazing and I'm glad you finally are happy and comfortable being who you are, and it's inspiring for the rest of us still trying to figure it out. 21 years into life, and I'm really starting to think I haven't got a clue.. hahah
This comment pretty much sums up how I feel about this video.
i'm 19 and have only now accepted in my head that i'm lesbian. I tell myself i'm bi but gosh and jeebus know i'm not. idk why I can't tell anyone but hopefully I'll figure it out. good luck to you too :)
I'm not gay but this almost brought me to tears. This is absolutely gorgeous; you have such a way with words; an eloquence that I can only hope to attain.

I will always look back at this video and appreciate how much it helped me with coming out. This video is so raw and relatable 💕💕💕

I am still trying to come to terms with the fact that I am a lesbian. I accept it- but I have a very very hard time telling other people that I am gay.
Nate B Thank you :). I really need to do that. I think it would make me feel so much better if I did.
You don't have to tell every person you meet that you're gay and even if it comes up in conversation,it's not like you are inclined to tell them.Tell those closest to you but it doesn't have to be everybody.
I did for a while too. I very recently began to tell people. I'm now open with it and I must admit, I feel so much better. I'm telling you, you WILL feel better. And you WILL be happy. Trust me. For me, personally, it took a fresh start (Going to boot camp) to allow me to be open with it. As I was going in, I decided I would no longer hide it, or wait till someone asked. My girlfriend wouldn't just be my "friend" in my stories. I was done with that. When I got out of boot, I was fully open. Even put my relationship status on facebook. I no longer care what old friends, or even family think about it. And I am so happy I did it. It's made a world of a difference. And you WILL be surprised of the reactions you can get. I have had some people literally pull me aside and tell me how strong I am for being able to be ok with my sexuality. Had so many people come to me telling me they are gay, and needing support that I was never given. It is such a great moment. For the first time in your life, not being afraid of who you are and not worrying about judgment... So relieving. Trust me. You WILL get there. And you will be happy :)
***** And just for the record, feeling like you can only tell the people closest to you, still feels sort of like a trap. Like you are telling some secret only your closest friends can find out. I'm not saying walk up to people and introduce yourself like "Hi. I'm _____ and I'm gay." (Although I literally do that for fun now :D ) I'm just saying don't hide it. If it comes up, be open. Don't hide anything. No reason to.
Jess Karpovich The worst part is religious bullying! Where they threaten you and accuse you and be little you. But they are just being bullies. Religion is what you make it. Faith comes from within, not without. Nobody can give you faith so you have to ignore the bullies!
Since fucking when does rose take anything seriously. I'm freaking out I love this so much I'm starting a petition for more serious rose videos. So damn intelligent, so well said, so much love for you
The first part was packed full of hilarious little quips and then all of a sudden she gets all beautifully heartfelt and serious. Awwww
When she started talking seriously and looking straight in the camera... for the first time, I felt like someone from a video was talking straightly at me. I found myself not able to take my eyes off the screen and looking directly into those eyes. I never liked green eyes but now she's the second person I've learned to love those eyes with. I appreciated her more because of this: with all the openness and sincerity, it wasn't just about her but a great number of humanity. Her words doesn't just apply to being gay but to every person who's ever gone through anything or is still going through things in their life. I love this.
"It was a Dana Fairbanks situation" love that
Just put this as well 😂 yay for dana !!
"Anybody who makes their lives work to hurt other people really needs a little bit of self-reflection. They need to be happier. They need to be happier. " ..She is such a great human being.
Whoa Rose being all serious near the end not something you normally see but when it happens wow! She really knows how to stir up all them feelings, that was so moving!
13:00 water works start. She's so genuine.
So beautifully said
Mara Gonzales
I have never heard such an enthralling, personal and unique story, absolutely fascinating, thank you Rose! I would LOVE to hear Rosie's story because (as a bi girl) it often feels like bisexuals are really sidelined in the LGBT community and sexuality can be so confusing and changeable and hard to get to grips with sometimes - would mean a lot to have your side of the story Rosie!!
I had a spectrum of realization about the world. My first realization was "Everybody has a little gay in them"
However, it completely changed into "Everybody has a little bisexual in them."
My current one is, "Everybody has love in them." Because fuckit, Love is. Love is.
Love is Love!! my friend and the sooner we can all realise this the better and more accepting this crazy wonderful world will be ^-^
love is love is
love this
Nope. Kinsey 0 exists. Every Heterosexual I know (myself included) is this.
did she film this the same day she decided to propose to rosie????? the timeline matches and shes got the same shirt and like lighting omg
Best 17:15 minutes of therapy I actually needed for free right here, Thanks for finally making this video, it's made me open my eyes bout a lot that has been going on in my life lately.
My mom dropped her tampons.....
Then i picked it up.....
After i laugh
Omg that is so funny 😂😂
That IS funny !!! Sweet Rose !!
"I was totally fine with it until I wasn't fine with it" get me a tshirt
Stories like this remind me how much gays and asexuals really do have in common. I relate to the secrecy and childhood shame, to trying to force myself to be attracted to the opposite sex, and to accepting my (a)sexuality without wanting to come out to everyone.
'In life there will be a time where you meet that one person and that one person will be absolutely perfect for you.' ♡ thanks for giving me hope, Rose.
This is why I love watching your content, you are just a real person being who you want to be and proud of it. I really hope youtube goes really well for you and you continue for a long time.
I literally feel lighter. People like her make me believe in the good things of the world again.
Rose, I'm a 20 year old straight Australian male and adore your videos, thank you I think you're one of the most honest, kindest and most positive people on youtube thank you for everything you do
I think this is one of the most relatable coming out stories I've watched in terms of my experience
Me too !!! Rose is awesome !!
Omg... "the gay practical test" and "she dropped her tampons" I died haha
If you´re lucky enough to be different from everyone else, don't change.
"And then I met Rosie." ♥
Rosie should tell us her story. I would enjoy hearing that as well...
Just remember that she is bi :)
Lol I know but she did tell her parents she was dating rose. There is a crazy story somewhere behind this lol
cilleB3054 what exactly do you mean by 'remember that she is bi'? LOL
As a lesbian with OCD and a history of depression, this really resonated with me. The love you have for your attraction to women is so incredible, and I have so much respect and admiration for it. I'm really glad you felt compelled to tell this story; it did a lot for me, and I can only imagine how much it will do for SO many others.
Thank you :)
Were you also attracted to jack from titanic
@@lasthope3237 I wasn't, but, to be fair, I've never seen The Titanic
This is more than just a coming-out story. This is therapy. Its beautiful. Thank you for sharing yourself with us and for lifting us up with you.
I think you underestimate how much this will help some people. You're truly doing some good and it's so inspiring to watch. The world needs more people like you. From me and the thousands of people who will be inspired and given hope from this video; thank you, Rose.
i was hoping you'd open it with "once upon a time in a land far agay" but your dad fancying harrison ford was a fun consolation
Your story is so very sweet, fallen tampons and all. Thank you for sharing. There is a certain authenticity to you and Rosie that is sadly not as common as it should be in the world. Had I known you or someone like you when I was younger I would have been proud to call you my friend.
"I brought frankincense so fucking hard" lmao dying laughing
I remember watching this when I was 14, crying my eyes out. I’m 19 today.
That was beautiful, thank you!
I'm not gay, but I was really moved by what you said about "needing to learn to love the part of yourself that is unique and different; and doing so will allow you to love others fully" (obviously I'm paraphrasing here). No matter what our sexual orientation, everyone needs to hear that message every once in a while; I certainly did, and it only served to remind me why I subscribed to your channel in the first place. You and Rosie are hilarious and entertaining, yes, but more importantly you two often have very insightful things to say as well. So thanks again! :)
It's like you KNEW it was my birthday.
You're the fucking best, Rose.
Amazing video, yet funny as always.
You just said everything I need to hear
This is the most pure side of Rose and it's only so sweet. Normally, I hate motivational type of speeches, but surprisingly you made it sound so calming.
I really needed this, I'm almost 18 and in my final year of high school and being this long in the closet is kinda suffocating so this is a really nice reassurance. the part where you said "just be" really resonated with me, I have anxiety and I tend to overthink things and complicate things which doesn't help. you're an inspiration, I am proud to be gay and I'm so happy that I am :) love you rose
***** I do that too, I have lots of gay, bi, pan, transgender internet friends, it's really cool :) I just want people outside to know too! Thanks for the help :D
I can relate to your coming out story a lot.
I knew I was gay when I was 13 but accepted it when I was 18. Thanks to you, I had the confidence to come out when I turned 19.
First serious video I've seen of Rose. And I love it. You have so many levels, and this made a lot of sense to me. Thank you
this was honestly so powerful and it genuinely made me cry for about 5 minutes after the video finished because it was so real and just different to most of these videos. you are honestly an amazing lady Rose and thank you for being so real and just making me feel like I am of importance and that I do matter :) this video was relly helpful thank you thank you thank you xx
I am 23yrs old and just came out to my parents. Just like you mentioned, I needed time to come into my own before I let others in. I want to thank you because this video helped me in so many ways. I am a genuinely happier person because of you.
Thank you,
From a very loyal fan
ROSE! Stop making me cry fgs! This is the third time now that you've made me cry this month, my manliness is slipping away here!
this video saved my life.
You are such a smart, inspiring, enjoyable young lady. I so agree with everything you just said, especially the part about loving freely and unashamed. That is the most exhilarating, powerful feeling in the world when you give yourself away with full abandon to someone else and let them love you completely publicly and openly with no shame and full pride. It is the way love was meant to be experienced. Thank you.
I have been a fan of the rose's since more or less day one that they appeared. First I have to say I'm a straight male, 63 my beautiful wife passed away going on 8 years now and their humor and love for each other is one of the reasons I'm still here! It doesn't matter who you love as long as you just love someone, and there's no reason to hate or pick on people who want to live a different life than you. They have always proven that love and comedy and just trying to be good and kind to everyone else out there and you will brighten someone's day no matter who or what they are. Now with little Ziggy it's just showing they have plenty more years to go making our days brighter. God bless us all
This is seriously my favorite coming out video I've ever seen, because among her silliness there's an amazing genuine and serious tone. Rose is seriously the best speaker in this way. She makes it so entertaining and so sweet.
To be completely honest, Rose, this is the best coming out story I've ever heard! You have no idea how much I can relate to you, and this is very important to me, because I've accepted myself but haven't told anybody about it. You, Rosie, Kaelyn, Lucy and Hannah Hart have definitely helped me a lot with this, and I am more than grateful for finding you all on the interwebs. Thank you so much for sharing your story! Thank you for being so kind and honest! Thank you for uploading the videos, thank you for making me laugh! I love you!
I'm doing a Rose and Rosie rewatch, and this vid helped me as a teen. Like high school me who'd been out since the seventh grade definitely didn't realize it, but college me has realized how much seeing R & R's story and presence helped my work through my internalized homophobia/biphobia. So here's a thank you to Rosie and Rose--for being themselves ❤️❤️❤️
We truly need more of you in this world. You are so beautiful and so well spoken. Thank you so much for this !!!
This is the most entertaining yet, heartfelt coming out video I have seen so far!
the message she's spreads is so important, thanks rose ily :)
You are such an inspiring and beautiful woman. We all love you, and thank YOU for being you.
Just when I thought it was impossible to love you more than I already do
Waw I really needed that. I'm 16 and going throught a lot of stuff at the same time including things related to my sexual orientation and what you said just really comfort me. Thanks Rose! :)
This is brilliant. Thank you for sharing your story. I am in my 30s (yay) I wish I had people like you and Rosie when I was a teenager! You guys are doing a great thing! I was so distressed about being gay ( I grew up Mormon which is like a living hell), and now I have been with my wife for 14 years, but, I always needed a role model in my teen years! Keep on keeping on! I know you and Rosie are helping so many people, and you guys prob hear that a lot, but , its very true! The world needs more people like you! Take care!
Most relatable story to me. Being a tomboy as a kid hanging out with boys and always thought how attractive some girls are, and focusing on the female characters rather than the men in movies. I liked caring for the girls and acting like a gentleman or something. Growing up, whenever I saw someone whom I was actually very attracted to (wasn't aware tho lol) I always had those butterflies and my heart raced and got real happy. The signs were always there. Was just too drunk happy and being in the moment that I didn't acknowledge them. Only did when i started questioning lol. Thanks so much for sharing :)
You're a perfect human being
I like to watch your videos over and over again and I'm not even gay. You have a wonderful personality and ability of turning straight girl gay. AND you have such a fluency in speaking that I envy you. Damn gurl...
This was amazing, I've actually shed some tears. Thank you so much for uploading this video.
that speech about accepting that part of you and be scared of that is really truthful. How much I struggled (and I'm still struggling) to find my identity and be open with others. I wish I had courage to tell everyone I'm bisexual. I'm starting giving hints here and there, especially to people I feel like I can trust and see what happens. I just hope it will sort out by itself..
Just choose your close friends to talk to..
Hope you're sorted, after all this time. x
I've watched so many coming out videos, but this is by far the one that has helped me the most. Until I watched this video, I did not understand what it was that was holding me back from saying the words "I'm gay" aloud, but the way you phrased it, that it's not shame, it's not hiding, really helped me understand myself better. I used to feel ashamed that I know I can't come out yet. This video has entirely changed my perspective on my own coming out journey for the better. Thank you so much for that.
that was beautiful.. it felt like you were genuinely talking to me personally and it made me so happy. you're amazing, rose ❤️
best coming out story i've ever seen.
my 'coming out' story: I come from a society where being gay is absolutley not an option so for the last 18 years of my life I was 100% convinced I was straight. I never even thought about the possibility I could be anything other than straight. My sexuality was very clear to me until a few months ago when I stumbled on your 'Super Kiss' video. I absolutley loved that video and at first i tried to convince myself it was because I just thought you guys were adorable together. Then I started watching more of your videos and other lesbian youtubers and I kept telling myself that it's not gay at all for a straight girl to be subscribed to all the lesbian channels on youtube. Eventually I realized the reason I loved lesbian youtubers so much was because they were living a life I wanted to live. The lesbian youtube community not only helped me realize what my sexual orientation is but it also showed me that lesbians can live perfectly 'normal' lives and be in 'normal' relationships. My coming out story is not done yet but at least I came out to myself.
Wow that's almost the exact same as me... I'm only 14 so I have to deal with these people for the next 4 years and I have no one to go to....
Allyson Taylor U can talk to someone on the internet, if u feel like doing so. :)
Thanks for sharing Rose! The part when you were talking about finding your person and learning to love the unique part of yourself was so eloquent and beautiful, really moving ❤😻
WOW REALLY JUST...WOW!
You and I share the same story Rose. All the shit you went through is the shit I went through, and still am. Except in my case I keep denying my orientation and hide from reality because I'm too afraid of falling in love. I don't know what love is, I have no idea what its like to actually have someone that literally makes the world seem like a better place to be in. I don't know what its like to kiss your beloved, to hold her when she's scared or sad, to care for her when she is ill, to share your life stories with. I just don't know and probably won't ever because I am too damn scared to let myself be loved. I just don't think I'm worthy of such a beautiful thing. Omg I'm gonna stop now, this is too deep.
same, but i'm sure, like rose said, we'll meet the right person at the right time and for once, everything is going to be fine:)
For you, I hope so. For me...I'm not sure I can handle it. I am TERRIFIED, I mean you heat about people having feat of heights, spiders, small spaces and the such. But I have a strong fear, phobia almost, of falling in love because I know what I am capable of. I cannot risk falling and then failing in the end I will literaly die. Once I'm in a relationship I give it my all no holding back. I've seen what it does to people and I refuse to lose the bit of sanity I have left on something so perilous. Yes I'm being dramatic but with good reason.
DAMN that was a great speech. Thank you Rose.
The way she talks about it, it’s so powerful omg ❤️
Ive just recently discovered this channel. Coming out was a hard thing for me to do. For me I had to come out twice. To my family and to the military. My parents weren't on board. They thought oh im just confused because ive had a boyfriend all throughout high school. (Breaking up with him for a girl was difficult too). I wish I could tell anyone struggling with this that it gets better, but not all families come around. While my parents still love me, we aren't allowed to mention this any time. My ex gf, which of whom I was with for 4 years, didn't like how they were, which eventually broke us up. When I watch you two it makes me think that I dont have to hide any more. I wont be happy unless im accepted. Thank you Rose.
Your story is really inspiring, I am a not so old man and I have three daughters who talk about it, but I will not be a hindrance to them, thanks for your story.
I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS THE DAY THAT SHE ALSO FILMED THE BEGINNING OF THE PROPOSAL VIDEO (MAY 3 ?) WHEREIN SHE DECIDED SHE WAS GOING TO PROPOSE TO ROSIE.
Or maybe she wore the same shirt.
thats what i thought too, because of the shirt!!
Rose you are such an inspiration.
Serious Rose is Awesome. Wishing you both the best.
all I can say right now is thank you. for telling us your story.
Rose, you are amazing, I'm crying at how true and honest this is. I'm bisexual, 'in the closet' and after listening to you there I'm not coming out for a long time. I'm only 14 my life has just started! I am honestly so grateful and pleased that my friend told me to watch you and Rosie and that I found this video! Thank you for being who you are! Xx
Best coming out story video I have ever seen! You are amazing Rose. Love from Italy.
You are an incredibly clever, brave, passionate, person Rose. I'm so glad to have found your and Rosie's channel, you girls are literally the best and your love is incredible :) You deserve all the love and support you get from your viewers, I do know that too is mutual :) x
The way you talk about your girl crushes growing up definitely struck a chord with me! I've always felt extremely emotionally connected and attracted to women, but not necessarily as much physically. Lately I've been questioning how much of my "aversion" is based on societal norms and how much is actually my sexual orientation. I can be attracted to people of all genders, although majority of my sexual experience have been with men. Yet listening to your description of the intensity of girl crushes has me questioning if I might be more gay than I originally thought. And for me, just as you, it's always been a wonderful thing! Women are great!
Yes! Exactly!!
Also, when I was younger and I hadn't been with a guy I didn't feel that physically attracted to them but you learn it by association when you do get physical with them. And I wonder how much of me following that path is because that's just what you do. Because I didn't feel like I fitted in the category of gay or bi I must be straight? Screw the labels, we are all just humans looking for other humans that we like the most.
This is my favorite of all the coming out vlogs I've watched. You are an extraordinary young woman, and I wish Rose and you a lifetime of happiness together!
13:13 Thank you so so so much for those words. I had to cry when I first watched this video and I have probably watched this part for a dozen times since then. And it makes me feel so much better each time. Thank you 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Just wanted to let you know that this video has a huge impact on my life, looking back on it especially. I watched this video right when it came out, and I can gladly say that almost a year later, I completely understand. I had felt like I was at a crossroads in life and I had no idea which path to take, or if there even was a path for me. In the video you said that all of the obstacles would fade away after I met the right person, and that I first had to accept and love myself and the fact that I am gay in order to be ready for this person, and I don't think I have ever been this happy with the complete 360 my life has turned. Thank you!
