- Growing up in a small, conservative town in Turkey, Tolga was not happy when he realized he was attracted to men. After moving to New York City for college, he hoped to overcome these feelings once and for all, but wound up embracing them instead.

Tolga- this was beautiful- THANK YOU!
You embody the future of evolved humanity by your blessed spirit. I was raised Christian, & you've helped me understand how to relate to my Muslim husband better.
You've given me hope that we will reconcile our challenges. Shukran~

Okayyy but has no one told you how cute you are? Loved hearing your story, I can relate :)
A total babe
Very delirious
This is very wrong in Islam. Astaghfirullah.
@@cxarhomell5867 Blows bubbles. Islam's a load of shit.
You may believe in it, but the fact of any belief is, is it not in fact. It resides only in people's heads. Fiction/ fantasy.
Can you show that it's real? No, no you can't.
@@cxarhomell5867 Then that is their/our choice. If it bothers you then you should be adult enough to move on to other places.
I'm gay and still identify as Christian. If he could calm a storm and heal the blind, I know he can understand my heart!
I'm here to tell you that you're wrong and you're going against nature. science and facts don't care about your feelings but obviously you're putting your feelings over logical thinking
@@namelessmillennial Good for you dude Jeuse love you
Mkultra90 K If you really felt that way, why are you watching this?
Me too.
@@boombangpow889 ikr😒
I'm a gay Muslim and HIV positive. People can say that sexuality and religion don't mix. Fine, it's their choice to believe whatever they want. Personally, I am living my life and no one can dictate how I decide to live it. Society will always have their thoughts and ideals of how to live one's life. For me, just as I won't meddle in your affairs so too you shouldn't meddle in mine or others.
My sets of beliefs and faith are my own. And no one has the right to decide for me. As a Muslim, I am accountable for MY OWN ACTIONS, NOT WHO I AM. Only God decides my fate.
What's important to me, where society is concerned, is that I have to respect others and not causing any harm to others.
Bro 😭
Do you know who prophet lut is?
You can’t be Muslim and gay. If you’re gay you’re not a Muslim. It’s as simple as that, Allah himself said you will have hellfire for this.
You’re not a Muslim. Simple as that.
May Allah bless you and forgive you
Coming out is painful. Bravo to you for surviving it with grace and integrity.
So moving. Wonderful story
Once you suck you are hooked
Good for you Bro...
I don't believe in God. When someone show me the pen that God used to write the bible I'll convert myself. Sorry I usually don't believe stories told by humans.
powerblades then you shouldn't believe history or any piece of science without doing everything yourself first hand
It actually has nothing to do with God and I never talk about God with anyone. It's merely about accepting past and present, the way I was raised and the way I am.
Fulll of liee😑
I have a great smile on my face because of what you said. Thanks.
This story made me so happy! I cannot imagine how encouraging this must be for Muslims struggling with their identity and faith. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring others to find a place of peace and faith while maintaining true to love.
And this muslim has strayed too far from the straight path.
@@cxarhomell5867 And this coming from a Jew. Wow, talk about adding fuel to the fire.
@@remyazharyyosef1811 Of course, this needs to stop. Between the abrahamic faiths, of the Jews and the Christians and the Muslims, this needs to end.
No degeneracy.
Thank you Toga for your very personal sharing. As an American educator and counselor, I totally agree with your experience here and with your conclusion. I think you are a very insightful and intelligent, good young man.......Kudos........Ray
Intresting story...thanks for sharing
He's cute. :-)
Paul Childs yes he
is
Okay can somebody gay men please marry me because I am asexual too, I don't have any feelings, only declared me as a wife in front of society and you can bring your gay partner at home. I am totally okay with it.
❤🌈🏳️🌈💜💙💛🧡💚❤️🥰😍I am so supposed not homophobic comments in this video
The insensitivity of the man in your first experience is saddening! But the sensitivity of your second experience it heartening!
A touching story
tolga is beautiful
I knew someone who was from Turkey. He became a naturalized citizen in the USA. He told me what it was life growing up for him in Turkey.
That's nice and all-but how?
Good question.. why not?
How endearing.
I would love for more people like him to come out and talk about their experiences especially from Muslim countries.
Me too!!!
He's gay and muslim it is a rule to not sadly but that's just actually abit rude but hope u don't take this as a offence
I think unless you decide to take your religion less literally, it would be difficult to remain a devout Muslim and out gay man. Even few Christians can remain in their different sects. That is why more and more are moving to reject faith, I think for rational thinking if not out and out atheism and a questioning of the books that a person relies upon for moral rectitude.
I mean you can't, if you pledge to read the Bible or the Qur'an.
Qayamat
@@totaro-o4s No he isnt
@@totaro-o4s The people of lut were turned to ash because of this.
@@cxarhomell5867 Yes, and elephants can fly with their ears
@@totaro-o4s Your point?
@@cxarhomell5867 Sleep over it. If tomorrow you still don’t know I will tell you (that is how I educate my children - 6 and 8 year olds)
Stop talking - this is an embarrassment to our community 🌐
And you are embarrassment to humanity
