When my mother found out I was gay, she told me she hopes I catch Aids and die, a few years later my mother passed away without us even talking or her apologizing, when my mother died, I had no emotions because I was really hurt by what she told me.
you tube 425 you are in this world because of your mom… be thankful of it. you are big because of your mom… if your mom were a monster you would have died before you were born.
be thankful for all she has given to you… feeding you when you were a baby, giving you clothes… be thankful for it otherwise oneday you will feel the pain of your mom
Please my friend. Forgiving is more powerful than hatred. By forgive your mother you surely has the biggest love and heart inside of you. It is hard but I know you can do that. Because if you don't forgive what's the difference between you and the hatred?
... yeah, no. Your mother was a terrible person and failed at her job when she wished death on her own child. She didn't do anything great by taking the bare minimum amount of responsibility for her own kid. You don't owe her shit, least of all thanks.
you tube 425 my Son is gay and I love him and support him totally. I’m sorry that you had to go threw that.
yeah fuck her. People treat us like shit
saying that it’s better to be a murderer than gay must be some kind of new level of homophobia, just wow
That's nothing. In Portugal, some parents would like their kids be prostitutes or drug addicts than being attracted at the same sex.
unfortunately its not new
@Gore4ever FulciLives maybe someone with that mind set should. (No offense but yes offence)
@Gore4ever FulciLives idk man why you gotta be like that it would be you child's issue not yours. Everyone lives a hard enough life without people like you, and if you didn't want the discussion to happen you should have thought about the consequences of your actions. In no way am I trying to rude btw but I just find your conservative 1900's outlook very questionable i personally don't understand why people have to act like this.
I mean if you think about it if everyone love and accepted each other like we are suppose to then, everyone could live happier. Instead of flaunting your hatred as this way.
@Gore4ever FulciLives thats pretty f'ed up for hating people who love others. So basically you hate people for loving. Great so nice of you.
Horrible to have such a "parent". good thing he had friends to help him through. And I'm happy it worked out in the end

e2sguy How is being gay make you a pervert? They just happen to like the same sex. Other than that their’s no difference.
@@e2sguy poor homophobic people, having to go to hell for hating on others, which said in the Bible not to do... Yet we CANNOT control sexuality, so god wouldn't make us go to hell for being something we can't control, yet you CAN control hate! You go to hell "love your neighbor" as said in the Bible...
That’s not a father then
I have no kids, but I wish that I did.. If any came out as gay I would be as supportive as possible.. I just don't understand how some people can be so misunderstanding...
e2sguy what is wrong with you
@@e2sguy the fuck?
@@e2sguy What in God's name is wrong with you, man? WAKE UP! THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY!
e2sguy WOAH WOAH WOAH just bc ppl are gay or lesbian or bi or pan or trans doesn’t mean they deserve to be seen as different and evil!
Good on him for being the better person. But my God that father deserves to feel every ounce of guilt he is feeling. And then some. You protect your child. If you don't understand their sexuality, suck it up, deal with it. But protect and love them or you are absolutely nothing.
InaudibleBoom shame on you bitch
InaudibleBoom
I clearly said harming someone for their *SEXUALITY* I didn't say harming *EVERYONE* don't twist my words, wtf is even an unhealthy sexuality? Are you just making up words? How does being gay make someone unhealthy?
are you 12? honestly. you're trying to equate rapists with homosexuals? that's like opponents of gay marriage equating it with marrying an animal. there is no rational logic in your argument. what is harmful is your attitude and lack of awareness of what it means to be human and come from a place of love versus a place of hate. you're Christian, aren't you?
you are a severely wounded human being. I feel sad for you almost. you're going to have an extremely fucked up miserable life and people are just going to hate you. sad.
This father isn't nothing, that would imply that it's the same as not having a father, having that guy for a father would be much worse than having no father at all. That guy isn't nothing, he's worse.
How could a father do that to their own son just because of his sexual orientation??? His father just threw everything out the window on what it means to be a parent and bullied his own child- such a disgrace!
sexual orientation doesn't exist. if it was possible for people to be born gay, then people would have been gay from the start of humanity's existence. considering how much easier it would be to find a male partner as opposed to a female partner in caveman times, logically all, or most cavemen would have been gay and at no point in time would it have been looked down upon. your sexuality is entirely up to the human brain, and is also usually due to wanting attention from others or the inability to find a sufficient partner of the opposite gender (which, as I said before, is usually more difficult)
Other than that I agree, even if I didn't agree with my son being gay I wouldn't straight up disown him - i would at least try to talk him out of it calmly, as any parent should
the tracer yes but still. You need to try to accept him. Don't talk him out of it. It's who he is...
Sorry, what?
It's highly likely that people *have* been gay from the start of humanity's existence. In fact, homosexuality is something that has been found and depicted throughout history for roughly as long as humanity has known how to record and document, but the start of humanity's existence is not documented, making your claim nothing but one big unfounded assumption.
Then you go into this argument about how most cavemen would be gay, as a male partner would be easier to find than a female partner, but you ridiculously fail to understand what sexuality is or how it works. We don't know much about sexuality, but from what we do know, the general consensus is that your sexuality is not able to be influenced by any sort of factor or variable, and anything of the sort has never been observed.
Your argument that your sexuality is dependent on wanting attention or inability to find a sufficient partner of the opposite gender is not only nonscientific and not supported with any sort of verifiable evidence or a reputable source known to man, but is ridiculously easy to disprove with the experience of any average gay person or middle-aged virgin.
How do you explain incels, by the way?
I also meant to say that it's good you wouldn't disown your child for their sexuality. I may not agree with anything you said, but as long as you care for and support your child, what I think doesn't really matter.
Aunt Jemima at least we agree on that.
But honestly if it was completely natural for some people to be gay, it would have been accepted a long time ago surely. The idea that 1/3rd of all men are gay but are just too worried to reveal it doesn't make any sense to me. Surely in modern western society, where gays are widely accepted, everyone who believes they are gay should probably have come out by now.
Even if scientific studies show that being gay is natural for 1/3rd of men, it's more than likely a condition/psychological issue. I will get a lot of hate about that but literally - people in my country used to provide therapy for people who thought they were gay, and they were banned. Why? Couldn't tell you. Probably SJWs who just get offended by everything if I'm being honest.
I'm still convinced most people do for attention. To stand out from the rest, while still following trends. And while that may not be scientifically proven, I have seen what the media has more recently started to promote and it follows logic that people will want mass attention by making themselves part of it. One example is a parent literally putting his 3 year old son in a dress and calling him transgender. Why? So that THEY can benefit from it. They have taken advantage of their son's oblivious mind not knowing what transgenderism even is.
My “mother” told people she’d rather have a drug addict son than a gay son because at least you can cure drug addiction. Jokes on her, she got both lmao

I totally agree with you on this diffenty I am gay myself my name is chetan from England 🏴 when I came out to my parents two years ago my father was horrible nasty and my mum and sister has accepted me for who I am so proud of being gay
his father makes me sick. this makes me so sad for people who's parents do this.
My father was even worse then this. when I tryed to come out to my mother. I asked her what she thought of bisexuals. Gays@Lesbiens she could expect . She shrank back in pain@shock,sickness from me. She told me that bisexuals are all perverted the verry worst of the worst. She died in 2017,Gus's what I'm a bisexual! What she said scared me for life.
his father is a role model

Why? He's an embarassment
I can relate to your story. You were brave and tenacious. Im so glad it worked out better in the end.
I told my mom I was gay at 15.(I had been molested regularly by a man in his 50s since I was 11). She gave me the same murderer line and said if I ever told anyone I was gay it would destroy her marriage ( she was newly remarried and my new step father hated gay people). The next day I started saving and planning to leave. Within 2 months I left home. They never said boo about my exit. I traveled to the city and lived on the street at first. Later I got a job after a sympathetic gay man let me live with him. I finished high-school and later college. My family never changed. I saw them a few times and they pretended I was not gay to my face even as I tried to share positive aspects of my life with them. This week more than 40 years later my mother died. It's sad but I now feel free.
John Doe are you for fucking real?? Both of these stories are inspirational. Get the fuck off this video you homophobic piece of trash.
Kizza Koo its okay leave John Doe alone...hes watching this video because hes gay too but hes afraid to tell anyone
John Doe SHUT UP BEFORE I BEAT YOUR HOMOPHOBIC ASS!
'thats why everyone hates you you want love and respect.'
*Mr. Doe...HOW CAN YOU SHOW LOVE AND RESPECT TO SOMEONE WHO'S ANTI-GAY...SUCH AS YOU?!*
InaudibleBoom you obviously didn’t read what H P had to say. They clearly said that not every gay person was molested (in this dudes case unfortunately he was) but it doesn’t change the fact that their are thousands of gay people that have never been molested
he shouldnt apologized but beg for your forgiveness
chauncy primm id kick him in the nuts
InaudibleBoom you can’t choose to be gay and no one is perfect. Everyone sins
InaudibleBoom I’ve never met anyone in my life who would accept an offer from anyone to just suck their dick. The could have an STD or they could just be a rapist. Straight women aren’t like that either
InaudibleBoom everyone wether their heterosexual or homosexual has the choice to say no
InaudibleBoom wait what are you talking about. I said that no one is perfect, because you said he should be disappointed that he sinned
these people that like to think of themselves as "parents" arent worthy of the title when they do this sort of thing to their children.
If you're a parent, your child is 50% of your DNA. It makes no sense to disown something that you created.
You're both wrong. The dad was upset that his son is now homosexual and has more hurdles to go through life and that was his way of dealing with the pain. The dad was never really homophobic but just scared and confused.
You are wrong, Charlie Chang. When a parent is scared of the harm that will be done to his gay kid by society, their first instinct is to protect that child, not be the first person to actually inflict that same harm they're worried about. A good parent who is worried about their child will protect them, not disown them. In this case, the father was only worried about his own reputation. And his gay son tarnishing that.
His son has always been gay. He didn't "become" gay. But I get your point.
This is precisely the reason why it absolutely makes sense to disown your child.
Fuck you! Dumb bitch-ass who is going to hell!
I will never understand why someone would chose murder over love
@@e2sguy why would you want to fuck a a womans pee lined hole when you can not get what your personally attracted to
Please stop t series Umm not a lot of people actually do that, mostly just joke about it.

@@e2sguy Why do some folks go to sex when talking about homosexuality? Not every gay person is sex addicts nor care for sex at all.

I can’t wait to be a parent that actually loves their child.. this makes me sick to my stomach

Shut
Sadly this was not uncommon-!
My dad is a stupid moron as well. His ignorance is astounding. I have discovered that just writing this on youtube makes me feel better.

Most people who hate gays are normally scared to came out, they hate that their gay.

Accountability is the most important character for a parent to have. If you mess up, apologize, even if it is to your kids.
Trick is also the first movie with gay characters I watched in 2003 just shortly after I came out. Very good first gay themed movie to watch.
unfortunately, I've not had the opportunity to watch it😑. But now it's definitely on my list of must watch films.
That was definitely my first gay movie 😍
This father deserves no sympathy.
Everyone deserves a second chance
When I came out to my mother she was petrified, calling me the worst things and not talking to me for weeks.
She was a devout Muslim, I could not blame her, people are conditioned to feel that people unlike them are the worst and should die.
My mother always loved me and after that she did not know what to do and broke down, it was me who went downstairs after weeks to comfort her during my coming out
It takes a while for people to acknowledge that such a thing does not define who someone is and you should respect the people who are willing to show regret and come to terms with that.
My mother had a worse time than I did, she shows remorse and treats me like her son now
When listening to what she had to say, it became clear to me that accepting this is harder than you might think and it isn't as simple as we would want it to be
So is life
There are people in my family who will never accept me, they will realize as a gay person and forget who I am entirely
not my problem, I stay the same and remove the hateful people in my life
It is their grief, because I can make some good ass fucking baklava and they're not getting it anymore
No, this story? Why does it take people time to realize that gay people are people and you don't hurt them. And why do we automatically have to forgive them for their prejudices?
Spoiler alert: We Don't
It is no different than racism, misogyny, antisemitism, etc. Someone was brainwashed (AKA psychologically conditioned) at childhood to believe hurtful, prejudices. It doesn't take a psych student (which I am) to recognize this.
Some people feel terrible that they will never have a grand daughter or grandson. I feel like it would be common sense but you do you bud. I personally wouldn’t talk to my son. 🤷♂️
Sorry, but that's not enough for me. If I was in your situation, I don't think I would have even visited the father in the hospital, much less stood in the kitchen while my dad has a discussion on the porch.

Disagree with hate and think you are wrong! The man loved his son but back in the day being gay meant one was devil almost! This man obviously learned to hate! Hate is an evil and sinister thing! This beautiful young man showed his father love and forgiveness which means this young man is amazing and powerful!
A bully in school died from a serious car accident. Karma from how he treated me got him back. He was very mean towards me. One day he got in a wreck. I'm not sad he's dead. Serves him right.
it makes me so sad to hear of parents being hateful to their Lgbt+ children. I was very very lucky to have extremely supportive parents. I'm so sorry that you had to bear that. Thank you for speaking about your experience. Much Love and Respect.
It's said that actions speak louder than words. While that is true, it sure is nice to hear those words once in a while.
sounds like my father.. hence why i won't come out as Bi to my family. aside from my sister.
I, vaguely, remember having to deal with a drunk father at some point as well. He REALLY hated gay people. At some point I finally told him I was gay and went outside to get away from him and, after following me outside in a drunken stupor, proceeded to beat me across the head when I wouldn't go back inside the house.
He did go to jail, but, I didn't get anything as recompense besides long lasting brain damage I still have from his fists hitting my head. He got off easy while I continue to suffer.
💩
Your a bigger man than me. I would of had your Dad thrown in jail for 30 days. Hell, he deserves 30 years in prison for treating his kid so bad. If he loses his job, so be it. But I'm glad you seem to be doing good.
matthew baca Sure... of course you would have.
Prison ain’t it. His Dad needs therapy.
Sometimes, you don't need to be vengeful. Showing a better person than the other is what makes you great.
I'm so sorry that happened to you. I'm glad you had an awesome support system.
If your father would have rather you murdered someone and was in jail for it then not only does he not love you unconditionally he's fucked up in the head.
Trick is inspirational, funny, heartwarming and I recommend everyone who has not seen to see it. It made me want to move to NYC too!
the father could be secretly gay or bi, and lashing out. I've seen this tons of times. gay son finds out his father is gay or bi as well. can't understand why his father hates him so much.
Many people are so quick to accuse those who aren't comfortable with homosexuals of actually being closeted themselves. That may be the case with a few but in general I don't think such a simplistic explanation is the correct one. It almost sounds more like the kind of childish insult someone might fling while in a heated argument about it, more so than a real attempt at explaining what may be going on, and the root of attitudes like these.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! To my fellow gay kid out there who is still a teenager and in the closet, PLEASE DONT COME OUT TO YOUR PARENTS YET! wait until you graduate in school and find a Job, move out and when you are settled in your new place, that's when you come out to them, Its not that hard, rather than coming out and risk of being disowned and literally live on the streets. But if you are 100% confident your parents aren't homophobic and would accept you, then come out but i suggest you tell your closest friends first or closest cousin, just for back up to make sure. God bless you and Good luck
If a parent kicks a minor out of their home, they can end up in jail. That is a crime in many countries. So another advice could be search a lawyer.
@@dubon9999 but at least they can put them up for adoption
KG, good advice. I started coming out to people in order from the least to the most important. The first people I told were my colleagues at a part time job that I could quit any second if things went sour. I wanted to test it out and they were very supportive. Then I came out to some friends, then siblings and finally parents last. It was a good strategy to take baby steps. It also helped to build my confidence about people's reactions.

I'm so sorry you had to endure that from your Father. So happy it got to the point that you, along with your boyfriend were able to sit and have a beer together. I truly hope that you get to hear the words "I'm sorry" from your Father. So sad that so many years (that can never be replaced) had to pass just to get to that beer. You are an exceptionally strong young man, always know that.

Wow, tough story but you seem all the wiser for it. True friends are irreplaceable. Most people have acquaintances, perhaps even close acquaintances.... but few can count true friends.

You are such a wonderful and strong man. Just think, with all the mountains you have had to overcome, you will be a beacon for some teen out there who needs light. All of who are gay have to be a light to youth who are questioning themselves. It's hard not having anyone to talk to. I'm 65 and grew up in the mountains of N.C. is a VERY conservative family in the 60's. Luckily, my parents outed me and accepted me as I was. I was so fortunate. I was 21 and in the Navy when that happened. But the previous 11 years were pure hell. I had no one to talk to until I came out. So to all of us, be out, be proud, be loving. There is a teen out there who needs to see your positivism. THANK YOU LUCAS!
It makes me proud that things worked out for you,please pray for all of the rest of us that keep falling through the cracks. Peace@love for all.🦄🦄
at least you went to the hospital and put the past aside which made him probably see how wrong he was and he realized how wrong he was and in his own way apologized. i haven't seen my father since i was 12 and i dont really plan on ever seeing him again but at least your father came around.

6 minutes, and I'm still listening.... He was just being VERY NATURAL.... very nice to listen to. That is rare in such video, bravo.
I have experienced that treatment, but from my mother. My father has always been there and supported me through the entire ordeal. My mother's side of my family is very homophobic despite having several gay family members. I was verbally and physically attacked by my mother constantly until I left home. I lived with my paternal grandmother until I finished high school. Although we try to be cordial, there's still a divide because my mother is unwilling to accept the fact that her youngest son(me) is gay. It used to hurt terribly, but thank God I came through it. It really does get better.
After all the terrible abuse.....the filthy name-calling, the phone calls to all of my friends' parents, telling them to keep their kids away from me because I was "queer", all the friends I lost, the sheer embarrassment and shame that I experienced at the hands of BOTH of my parents for being gay, ot was more than I could bear, so I stopped talking to them back in 2007. Cut to last year, when my youngest brother comes to visit me out of the clear blue, and he tells me that our dad has come out to our mother, first as bisexual, then eventually, 100% gay. I wanted to laugh, I wanted to say, "Good....they both deserve each other," but I couldn't do that. They have still never apologized to me, but that's ok, I'm finally over all of it, and I'm happy to be living my life without them in it. Sometimes, the hurtful things damage us so deeply that we just decide to cut our losses and stay away and move on with our lives; it's the only way I can finally get peace in my life.

“having a corona” that’s didn’t age well did it
That’s a heart wrenching story! I was able to feel in my heart extreme sadness while you were telling your story! God Bless you for being a much more compassionate man than your father.
I’m glad you rebuilt the bridge between you and your father. You’re a better man than I am for doing that. If I had gone through the same thing, I would have ghosted the entire family.
When I was young, I wanted to have a family of my own.
Now I'm 16 and my biggest wish is creating a home for lgbt people who lost their home thanks to them being a part of this community.
It would've been fun to have a family of my own, but I realised there's other kids who need my help more.
This person's story made me even more sure of this, so thanks for sharing his story. I really appreciate it😊
Same 😭💖
The San that lights up my life did you really hate your mother and your father
This makes me appreciate my parents and that they are so accepting of me being gay.
Sushi Dog o hope a lot of other people are accepting if it too for you
Bad parents
Deep down your parents are sad and now they're caring a burden to accept you being gay
@@Glock18401 More likely they are decent people and feel just fine with their son being gay.
Im so lucky to have parents who support me. I feel so bad for what some people go through
What a beautiful story! ❤️
There is nothing wrong with being gay or lesbian. People should be free to be gay, straight, or bisexual. I am straight.
One of my friends has 2 moms and I think it’s really cool :)
Lol
Taco Lps did your friends have grandparents
Bruh how lol
Thats kinda gay
So glad they could reconnect without words being spoken because neither could say what their feelings were. Actions do speak louder than words. They each seem at peace.
That ‘father’ should be on his knees begging for your forgiveness
Amazing ❤️
Horrible story in the beginning . Difficult father :/ ... Btw Trick was my first gay themed movie as well :) thx for sharing the story
@InaudibleBoom why?
InaudibleBoom Dishonor?What are we in,the medical times?
That was a very beautiful and tender story bro,good luck with your dad.Im sure he's very sorry for how he acted..
Hello I have watched the first video, an I didn't realize how deep this is, so watching this 2nd video, I had to subscribe to the channel. Thank you so sad that we have to go through things like this.
Wow what an amazing story
You are a great guy, I’d be glad to call you my friend…..
Absolutely beautiful story!!! This is what is RIGHT with the world, people like Lucas who forgive unconditionally!
There's a book in there somewhere. You are a strong dude! More power to you!!👍👍👍👍👍
Gosh baby boy I'm glad you are good now.
I’m so sorry. My heart hurts for you.
When he said that he heard a clink noise outside, I thought it would take a turn for the worse. Love this story ♥️
I don't know you but I'm proud of you and you're a true inspiration!!
Some people should not be parents.
He's wearing the same tanktop as me!
thats deep
It's awful that he had to go through that. I hope that times change so that no one will have to be nervous about telling their parents about their sexuality. I'm so happy that he had such a good friends to support him when he needed it.
so sorry you went through that hugs
We can feel the pain in every word. I’m happy you’ve found happiness in this world. Shine bright, everyday, and show the world what an amazing person you are
