Calum Scott - “Calum Scott: A Coming Out Story”
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 жов 2018
- Calum Scott was a finalist on the UK's performance show 'Britain's Got Talent,' and thanks to a powerful voice, great songs, and passionate performance style, he's parlayed it into global acclaim. We've previously had him in for a solo performance of "What I Miss Most," a tribute to his hometown of Hull and a valentine to the way his community there grounds him whenever he feels adrift. This time 'round we spent time with Scott as he recounted a painful part of his young adult life - processing the complex emotions of being a gay teen and letting the world around him aware of his sexual orientation. Friends abandoned him early on, and it hurt. But in a poignant profile, he says he found the courage to be honest about himself through music. "I know that there are people young and old struggling with the same questions, and living with that relentless fear and heartbreak. I make the music I do because I want to inspire the right kind of conversations. If one less kid can grow up without hiding who they are along the way or having to believe that who they love is something that will make them lonely, then everything I went through will be worth it."

I personnally do not care what a persons sexual orientation is. I care about things like kindess and friendship, trust. That is what defines a person to me.
Maravilhoso 💖
its called sexuality not sexual orientation. sexual orientation is a process of having sex
and also who the person really is inside and the way he or she thinks about others(positive or negative)
Jim Gao That’s not true...
Some people say this 'i don't care or it doesn't matter to me' and that it IMO dismissive. It DOES matter to most gay people a whole lot it is a core part of their being that alot of people DO still get persecuted for even if it is subtle.
You know I honestly don’t care if he’s gay I love his music so much
Same!
I know this statement means well, but his being gay is so much of who he is. His experiences as a gay person have guided his decisions which include being a singer.
lol
So if you didn't love his music you would feel differently???
Wow. What an innately biased remark.Sadder still is that neither Nathan or the 673 individuals who agreed recognize how offensive this is. Please ask yourself why you would care in the first place?
Why would his sexuality come in to play at all ? This comment implies that if you were not a fan of his music,then you would consider it an issue. This man opens his soul and reveals how he was ostracized throughout his life for living in his own skin .
Perhaps dig a little deeper and fully self evaluate and think before speaking out and potentially adding to the problem.
My brother came out and said he was gay back in 2005. It wasn't the reaction everyone wanted to hear or see. It's still planted in my head that day...that night. My older brother was beaten as soon as he said he was. I had to pull my mom away from him and I was terrified. I sheltered my older brother, I literally put my body on top of him so my mom would stop. He renounced his place as a family member and changed his whole name...and nobody stopped him but me. He went on with it...later in years...I came out to my family. I figured it was obvious because the way I am...the way I talk and walk. In my culture, there are people called two-spirited. You have the spirit of a man and a woman you have the actions and thoughts as one. I stood my ground even though I was terrified...but my family finally accepted it. My brother is happily engaged with his other half far away from home. Just this past month, we lost our uncle, and he understood everything, told everyone to love each other. Our family came back together and we all got to meet my brother's fiance. I'm sorry, you're coming out story had me in tears and thought I share mine. Thank you.
Our Heavenly Father loves ALL HIS CHILDREN 🥰
What a story. Hope you'll never loose connection to each other again! ❤
@@jameslemes8397 as they are.
Jeremy, I send you and your brother so much love from the other side of the planet. My own memory from that time of my own experience is as indelibly inked upon my psyche as yours is, so I definitely identified with what you were relating here. What you did for your brother was an incredible act of love. I’m sure he’s never forgotten that and I know your ancestors would be so proud of you. 🪶
So sorry you had to go through that. Everybody deserves the opportunity to be themselves. I was lucky. When I finally came out, my mother said she'd always known I was gay. My dad wouldn't discuss the matter for awhile, but then began cutting out Dear Abby columns from the paper about gay people, then mailing them to me. I guess he figured that if Abby was OK with me being gay, he could accept it, too.
How many times can I fall in love with CALUM SCOTT? The more that I hear his music and learn about his journey, the more I feel his soulful spirit. He empowers all of us, regardless of race, sexuality, nationality. You’ve been needed more than ever getting through this Pandemic. Thank you Calum!!
I'm his fan no matter what.
-from Philippines.
since 2015 💓
parehas tayo
Count meeeee
ako riiiin since 2017
I just came out 2 my mum like 40 mins ago. It felt like soo muck wieght was lifted of my shoulders
i wanna fucking kill my self How did she react?❤ I don't know you but I am proud of u❤💪
Magda H. Just seen this sorry. But she just sed "ok. Idc i love u no matter what."
congratulations everyone deserves to love who they want to
I'm late to this but congratulations, you've just entered a great part of your life.
Congratulation =)
Its sad that "coming out" is even a thing. Why can't you just....be.
THIS! Why can't we all just live in peace with one another and enjoy earth's natural unlimited beauty and resources. Why the wars, corruption, divisive ideologies??? Why can't we all just BE! My one true dream.
Right.
Yess, this is something I’ve asked myself!!! Why is it the “normal” or “expected” of everyone to be straight unless you come out and say you’re not... personally, it makes me feel uncomfortable to even talk to people about it because I don’t know how anyone will react to not being “normal” it’s really sad...
The problem has always been religion and beliefs.
@@Ramy-ql3tr bingo. Can't tell them the way that they think is why the world is so terrible though, they'll get angry with you.
This is heartbreaking. His friends should be ashamed, to have this much trauma for a thing you can't control and are already bullying yourself for must be so hard. It's beautiful that he's able to speak out about it. you're not alone :)♡
when I found out that he's gay I loved him even more
Same
same gurl he’s mine
Erm..why?
Sameeeee♡
Green Rainbow It’s not really the gay part that makes people like him more. It’s the fact that he’s comfortable enough to share that when he doesn’t have to. Any singer or celebrity who shares something personal opens up people’s hearts more to them.
The moment when u start crying, cuz the message relates u✨
I get you buddy 😢
I get you
I know..
Relates to you
Embrace yourself with love man..We got your back..
His so called “best” friend should be utterly ashamed of himself. What a vile thing to do - he should have supported his friend, not broke his heart.
if his "best" friend couldn't support him then he wasn't a true friend.
Really if he was any kind of friend at all. He would have realized that love is love no matter who you are and who you love and are loved.
I'm 63 going on 64. I have never been loved because I am asexual. I don't even know what it feels like to be loved and I have never felt the emotion, I sure would like to know the feeling of it 😟.
I also lost many best friends, guy friends, when I came out.
Screw them,dude. You can do better
i love the way he talkd.💚 "Don't try to be what you're not''
i truly love his voice! so simple but soulful
Wish everyone in hull sounded as nice as he does lol
Your music is amazing! My youngest son is gay and we love him unconditionally. It does not matter if you are gay or straight in this world we are all equal. When you friends cannot accept this they are not you true friends. Keep your head and be proud! Proud of you!
you're amazing!
Actually, having a gay son, I knew the moment I saw him that he was probably gay. Having said that, who cares? He is an amazing talent and, I think, a truly gentle soul.
Dawn McCormick
your sooo right 🙂
Is it not comical that parents somehow can tell their child will be different? Okay, let me not generalize before I get beheaded for some may be clueless or for those whom not fit the stereotype but for those who know and accept their children, parents and those held dearly, makes me happy and glad that acceptance and relationships can overcome the dreaded abandonment.
Mothers know somehow guess its womens intuition
Dawn McCormick thank you for being open and accepting
I wish i had parents like you 🤐
I fall in love with his voice, his talent shows how his heart amazing, calum ❤
calum is different among other gay singer
@Calum Scott. I really felt the same way. As a child just being told "you should have crushes on females" I always made friends with guys. And when guys had relationships, I really just tried to fake being happy in relationships with females. However, I never had one person walk away from me when i said I was gay. That must be heartbreaking. My mom's reaction actually was very similar. She did not care too much about it and treated me the same way as I always was. You have an amazing voice. GO DO YOU SCOTT!!!!!!!!!!
Calum, I love you no matter what
i love him more
Now now, love can be shared.
l love him too
love you! ❤ no matter what
Calum's story has just made me realise that I have the best friends I could ask for. When I came out to my friends their reactions and support were so amazing and I thank them so much for that. However I still can't get up the nerve to come out to my parents - I'm so scared that they might reject me. Plus my dad has diabetes and I'm terrified that the shock could have an adverse effect on his health - I could never forgive myself if that happened.

To my family and friends I am a cold rugged and old fashion type of guy. So when my son told me he was gay it seemed like everybody expected me to go ballistic on him. He even told me over the phone long distance, to be honest it hurt me more that he thought he had to put distance between us. All I said to him was I know and you are still my son and I love you no matter what anybody thinks. I also reassured him that I would break anybody that f**** with him because of who he is. I am also proud I heard it from him instead of gossip. And I made sure my whole family knows where I stand and they stand by me. They promise me they would look out for him when I am gone.
In the most cases the mother is the first to suspect and accept the child for who he is and love them no matter what. God bless those mothers .
@@jaleo_117 You are an Awesome dad!!!
You are very brave Calum. So many of us have walked the same path, felt the same betrayal. So many of us still press on and not let how others perceive us to define who we are. You are never, ever alone on that path. I am certain that your actions in your position have inspired at least one, and without a doubt hundreds more, to be themselves and to feel good being themselves. Each of us should be so lucky to be able to do that for so many others.
Love is love. We’re all human and we’re all equal. Never be ashamed of who you are. You’re no different from anyone else, you are who you are and don’t let anyone let you think that being your true self is wrong❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Morgan King ❤️❤️❤️
@Bonidee Lee Love should not be an objectification! If a person love someone and that person doesn't love him her/him back that means you should not force love. Pedophiles force children and obviously it's bad lol.
@Bonidee Lee what's bigot??
Bonidee Lee
You are very ignorant. How can you compare love between consenting adults with the whatever goes on in the sick and twisted mind of pedophiles. That's not love!
@@Springview2011 True, both individuals knows what they're doing.
The people who dislike this are what bullies look like. Be whatever you want man, we are with you.
they are worst than what we even call demonic devils, they are nothing
I’m just glad you don’t think it’s a bunch of Christians
Because just so you know we’re not judgy like that it’s not our job to judge others life styles and I’m really happy you don’t blame the hate on us
@@amiesqueendom1687 actually demonic devil's are wayy worse then someone discriminating and I'm not say that discriminating is right I just think it's disgusting for someone to bully anyone just because of their sexuality
Selma Hello I want saying I believe it’s right to be gay I was just saying it’s not my place nor anyone else’s place to judge another human
In the Bible it says “Love your neighbor as yourself” and “ The Battle is not against flesh and blood but against the principalities of evil” meaning we are meant to love everyone and direct them
@Chumi I am a Muslim too and I have the same thought as you
As for me I don't see y gays are to be treated differently in a bad way cause they are also humans just like us and I think God created them like that for them to be who they are and what they fell for those of their same gender I think God made them like that for a good and special reason#peace love you Calum and if you are reading this remember that true friends will always love you no matter what just like the way you sing your mom and dad love you in "no matter what" and remember LaDadjDeMonaco is one of those friends 😁😘🤗✌🏾
His “best friend” should be ashamed of himself for the way he reacted. If he was a real friend he would have been supportive, not a backstabber.
An extreme rarity…a beautiful man with an incredible voice and an even more beautiful heart…a gift to the world. He didn’t “choose” to be gay…..he was “chosen”. Thank you, Calum.
He came a long way from Britain’s got Talent
I’m so proud
My favourite artist ever😭❤️
I just love the melodious voice...oh God who does that
Omg your so damn sexy
Thanks ....
Shawn Mendes is that you
siddhesh gandhi no its not him..sorry I'm just a fan

Who cares if he is gay. Calum you are a beautiful soul inside and out.! We all love you and support you.! I've watched your story since Britain's Got Talent. I love you even more being gay.!
Im 55 years old. I came out as gay when i was 20.
I lost my mother when i was 9 years old. And my father died when i was 17.
I wish my mother could live abit longer so i could tell her.
I have lost a few close family menbers after i came out. I grew up in a highly religous comunity.
Your an amazing artist. I hope you goes all the way.
Love from NORWAY
Big hug for you Magne. In sure you mum would have been proud of you. ♥️
Oh God...I never came out and my mom my father already died years ago.
I'm just unuseful child but I'm not child anymore.
😢😥
I wish the world could have been more accepting. I haven't even told my parents that I am gay but I well aware that they both knew. My siblings knew because I brought a boyfriend home and my parents didn't even complain about it hence I am already 28 and a teacher. They've only wished me to be better. I've asked my sister once about "why doesn't father asked me to get married (to a woman)" and she said "oh father told us to let you do what you wanted to do he is scared of losing a son" because a second cousin of mine committed suicide after finding out his boyfriend is getting married to a woman. That's what made him think that way. I am just glad my parents were very open-minded regardless of not being too exposed to such circumstances.
@@jonardnabartey1552 you are a lucky guy..blessing for you.
@@cepau335 The society might not have been so accepting but my family has given me more than enough acceptance.
I felt and feel the same, till this day I question "WHY me?! Being a kid was the best life I had and one I'll never forget. Thank you for sharing man, truly inspirational. 💓
I feel the same way ❤
The Sinnoh Firefly crazy how life is
Jaynnel Enrique I know, right? You can only truly understand when you've gone through it. I wish life was simpler.
❤️
The Sinnoh Firefly for sure!!!
So proud of you. You are a pure loving soul and I wish you all the best and love in life ❤
"I love you no matter what." This is what I told my 16 year old daughter when she came out. Respect! Altyd enetjie meer.
Coming from a gay son. I want to say thank you. Believe me, it meant the world to your daughter.
@@dancecentralYESXD big hug and thank you. My world would not be complete without her and all the guy people out there. When your heart is pure and you have good intentions, you can't go wrong and I wish you all the happiness in the world.
Madelain Kitshoff Thank you, Madelein. :) Good people and good intentions, that is where they are at. Wishing you and your daughter the best!
Thanks 💕 I’m so thankful to God almighty for the talent and to my fans who has been supporting me all these years. my next concert is coming up soon and I hope to see you there. This is my email address: calumscott263@gmail.com____ contact me so we can talk more convenient in private ok.
I'm a Christian and I love you even more, Calum. Just found out this video and sooooo proud of you! sending LOVE and prayer from Yogyakarta, INDONESIA. My daughter loves you very much too! You might lose some friends but you got the whole world now. Bless you, Calum. I love your mom and your sister too! They have beautiful souls.
Thank you Calum for making this video, you are an inspiration to all the young kids out there that are struggling to be their selves and just want to be accepted.
*Oh this is definitely gonna go viral!*
I bet a lot of people can relate; I hope this brings immense attention to his brilliant & meaningful music! ✨
I swear ur everywhere 😂😂😂
I just love him, no matter what.
Last year I saw a girl who was friends with my daughter severalyearsago. We had a lovely conversation and when I asked her if she was married and had any children she said no. As the conversation continued it was apparent that she was gay, which I have no issues with. She made a wonderful statement and I'd like to share it as it really says it all about love, she simply said you you can't help who you fall in love with. I smiled and wished her love and happiness for her future 💗
I've been following him since BGT and still didn't know he was gay
He told us on a comment on one of his video, I don't remember which.
Tbh I didn’t as well. I just listened to his song and that’s when I realized he was gay
Rachel Michael likewise but his voice and personality is beautiful 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

We're all the same level human 💙🌈 . Love you Calum form Malaysia .

Hi
Im 21 and i just came out and say im gay as FRICKING Gay. 😊 im gay and now im free but still in fear to see people dont want me and dont accept me. later did i know accept me for who was . my dad dont treat me as before but he treat me as a GAY son and its amazing he often ask about my relationship to find someone i can rely to forever thank you Calumn . 8 months after i watched this i come out and im back here to thank you. 😍😊 you are beautiful and we are beautiful 😊
My Dear Calum, Thank you. Thank you for this, for revealing such once painful and yet now liberating emotions. Calum, I am a 64 yr old gramma…and I will not pretend to understand your pain and what you went through growing up. However, through people like you…humble, wonderfully honest people..I understand how difficult it must be to go thru your life as you did. I am SO happy for you, that you were able to make it through to where you are now…with the help of such an incredible Mom..what a Gift she is.
I have always😂 believed that whatever is happening to us, is exactly what is supposed to be happening at that moment. It is up to us
to leRn how to react and live with it. I feel very fortunate that I stumbled onto BGT and your Golden Buzzer moment. Thank you Calum.i look forward to many years of your beautiful music.
man this was so beautiful.. i hope could have that courage, to tell my whole family who really i am. 😢😥
don't worry carry as much courage as you can and go tell them #iamwithyou #peace
"Friends" who walk away like that..they aren't true friends at all. As hard as it is, you are better off without them! Your story may give courage to others with the same struggles, so i hope more people take heart from your story. Bravo you x
I am 50 years old and out. It took me almost 40 years to come out and I felt immense relief afterwards. My sister was the first to know, its just easier with a sister. My two brothers found out eventually and all of them accepted it. My dad passed away when I was fourteen so I never told him. My mom knew, but could not accept it, saying to other people I was sick. She passed away three years ago without us ever speaking of it, even though she lived with me for years. When I heard the song No Matter What, my heart broke, as I would have loved to hear those words from her.
A big thanks to you for the love and supports all this years. I pray God In heaven grants you my beloved fan your heart desires. I’m excited reaching out to my beloved fans outside my career because i sometime need some sort of escape from my busy schedule. This is my email address: calumscott263@gmail.com_____ contact me let’s talk more conveniently in private ok 😊
Calum, you not only are a beautiful musician. You are a beautiful person. I know the feeling when people that I love acted like I have done something wrong and turned their back on me for the way nature made me. The hurt is unreal. Thank you for telling me your story. You are such an inspiration to me. I want to tell you that "I love you"
Callum Scott it dosent matter who u r. Just carry on making great music. X
thanks ❤️💕
I have come a long way to this great point and right from the very beginning you my fan have been solidly there for me , it's been a landslide but we pull through together ... your love and support are amazing and I appreciate every little effort..Have you been to my concert before ?
Calum came out during BGT, it was a brave act he had ever done for himself. As coming out to everyone is not an easy thing to do because some are afraid that the closest people by their side will leave, not acceptance. Hiding myself in the closet is tiring, it hurts so much that i have to lie about who am really are. Scared that people will hate and judge. Has been always asking myself, why can't i be normal? who am i? is it okay to be like this? should i change? All of these questions are tremendously painful to hear. My friend said, "some people rather live in the world of lies than being sad their whole life" pathetic isn't?
True, I had to hide myself as long as I can, because I knew that my parent could not withstand the truth. I knew I shouldn't be so selfish to tell them the truth and let them to bear all the criticism by relatives and friends when that's not their fault. Sometimes, things are better to stay hidden. Sometimes, it's better to not take down the mask. For almost 8 years, the mask that I'm holding on everyday had shaped so well that no one had ever doubt about my sexual orientation. I had to do this, because I'm so scared that anyone that know the truth will pass it to my family. I once doubted, should I feel shame about it, but I think that's not important anymore, as the act I made had become the true me in others people eye. Coming out or stay in the closet, no real answer, just think about ur own situation. No right or wrong, just which one u choose to sacrifice.
@@henrykarry2246 thanks for sharing tho :) it must be hard, you must be used to the mask you're wearing now, whether to sacrifice your true self or them.. It doesn't matter anymore, I feel ya..
el soul Who says you're not normal? Love doesn't need to be based on gender, it' not based on gender. There's a reason the symbol of love is heart. If people don't understand who you are, they are not normal. Stop and don't think about what people say. Don't hide it, if they became mad at you let them be, your parents disown you, live YOUR LIFE and prove that they can still be proud of you despite what thay think of you. The world is unfair. If you want it to be fair, you will be the one to make it so. You're not gonna be sad your whole life if you become true to yourself. You'll be happy. You'll see your real friends. You'll see who's true to you. I have a bestfriend. She's lesbian but didn't came out, and let the girl she loves go, because she's afraid of what her parents and friends would think about her.Then the love of her life, was diagnosed with lukemia, and refuses for theraphy, and just waited for her life to end because she thought my bestfriend didn't love her. My friend.decided to live in lies, and I can tell you with all my heart, my soul pouring out, its not worth it, lies won't make you happy. Instead it will keep you from possbilities and happiness you might deserve.
@@jervin1640 your words are wise. It is inspiring but somehow, i live under a situation where i can't risk my everything yet. I'm still young.. Just like others, i have to think a lot of possibilities, my family may disown me? or accept me? friends leaving? or stay? society judging? or being nice? I can't go through all of these rn. One thing for sure, I'm still figuring myself, exploring myself, I need more information about myself, I need to build up myself. thank you for your support mate. I get the concept of love is love. I've been learning about LGBTQ+ this past years, i want to be a part of this community where people know who am really are and not as a supporter only.
el soul I understand. Just remember when its time to decide, when you think you are a ready. Even when everything is hitting you from top to bottom. Please, choose to be yourself. Trust me. What people will say doesn't matter. It may hurt you, but you'll live. It may bring you down but you could always stand up. But if you choose to betray yourself by living a life just to meet others expectation and standards, you will never ever be happy. Just keep in mind all that I said. And if ever, just if ever you need to talk abou it. You can PM me. Take care.
Hi calum,i will love you "NO MATTER WHAT" i will be with you when your "DANCING AT YOUR OWN" and and i know even though im not part of your life i know that "WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG" you are destined to be what you are now cause "YOU ARE THE REASON" why many people being happy with your voice and songs♥️♥️
Callum,my husband died 4 years ago.Your version of the song dancing on my own was his favourite song before he died.Every time I miss him,I play your version of the song.You are a a special person with a beautifil voice.Thank you
Hey bravo man, long way to go. Be strong ❤️. Support you beside with you doesn't matter whatever you are. Still long way to go 💞..... Your soothing voice can't be compared with anything.❤️ #lovefromindia#
Beautiful voice. Love you
Proud, proud, proud of you, Calum. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary talents with the world and allowing your truth to be manifested. Good on you, mate. You are a gift.

Just to let everyone in the comments know we all stand together and you're not alone! ❤
It doesn’t matter if Calum Scott is gay, because he is still a person and his music is amazing and he inspires people including myself to follow our dreams. I love his music and he is a great singer and a good friend.
You just don't get it. It does matter to him that he's gay. Gay people shouldn't have to hide their sexuality just because you are uncomfortable with it and think that "it doesn't matter." If you don't like him being out and gay, don't listen to his music. Problem solved.
We love you calum no matter what ❤
At least get his name right !
Ops sorry didn't notice
Cindi Marie Reardon shut up lol
Well done calum you have came so far and will inspire alot of people out there with the words you just spoke, who cares what other people think of you, you are amazing, we will all get negative comments in life but we just need to move on with our lives because there will always be small minded people out there no matter what so dont change for anyone, #lovefromireland
2020 and I just found him on facebook and came to youtube to hear his songs, I clicked on this one thinking it was a song and as I hear him speak I like him very much. Even though its been 2 years since this video came out, he have a great courage of doing this video and I am very proud of him for doing this. He has an amazing talent.
He has been public about his sexual orientation long before this video. This was released in support of National Coming Out Day in the UK in 2018. Listen to the lyrics he uses in "Dancing..." even as early as his 2015 audition.
Haha your not alone ❤️
Man im not gay but im glad he did this and glad he found his imprint he makes dope ass music. I applaud you
Calum Scott you are strong and beautiful. Been your number 1 fan since your first Britain’s got talent audition. You are my inspiration and your music blows me away every time and every day. Us who are proud of what we take pride in should stand strong together and show the world how amazing we can all be.

I relate to this story. I was petrified for many years. I knew I was gay from a very very young age. I was in a relationship for a year (a secret one ). His family accepted it. I remember a conversation of me coming in from playing basketball and my grandmother and my mom were sitting in the living room and then lights were off but the t.v. was on. Out of the blue my grandmother said "Michael your not gay are you as my mom watched. I so desperately wanted to say yes but said No because she followed it up with well good because grandpop would never have it in this house. My first boyfriend and first love became jealous and threatened to call my house and tell whomever picked up the phone Who he was and that he was my boyfriend and I was gay. So I went out and got intoxicated told my sister. I was hysterically crying. She hugged me and said she loved me no matter what. And then said are you going to tell mommy and I went down stairs crying my mom was on the phone. She hung up asked me what was the matter and I just said I'm Gay. And then reply I got shocks me to this day. She said " No sh*t I've always known I love you your my son" And hugged me until I stopped sobbing. ❤💙💚💛💜
This is beautiful. 💖 I wish you all the good things!
Hope you left the guy and hope you left your grandma. You don’t need them in your life.
At least, I read the happiest ending tht it such a dream to me..... I hope I'll be helped soon.... :""""
It's funny how our mother always know.
I came out to my parents last year september the day my boyfriend past my mom told me she knew and said not to give up on love
I was afraid with what my dad would do cause he a religious type and I come from a Mormon family. He said he will never abandon me. That my life is in my hands and that I have to let them in it too
I still think of my handsome prince to this day
Michael Page BLESS YOU and your story! 😭👏 I wish mines would have gone a more better route lol 😝
I so admire him for being upfront an honestly open about his sexuality.
my tears fell down as I watched this video. Every single feeling of loneliness, fear, doubts that he had, i felt the same too 😢
Thank you calum your words are truly personal and relatable
you're not only sing with your mouth but you're sing by your heart that's why every song that you've been sang giving a good impact and impression to the listener's heart. Still inspire to us and cant wait for another great song from you, Calum !!!💕

I reallly appreciate that you shared your own path and your inspiring words. I am concerned that coming out is a new way to begin again because some lose friends, others their own family and so on. Finally, the sensation of being free without hiding yourself is worthy and one more step to what we do diserve...live as free as posible. Whatever, the transition I mentioned reminds of your new song Bridges: "(...)now I walk on bridges to reach the other side". Thank you so much for existing today.
Calium- As difficult as it must have been to be true to yourself, it must have been even more difficult to be true to others. Calium you are a very handsome young man who was blessed with a beautiful voice. When you sing I can see all your emotions in your eyes, past pain and heartache. You need not to do anything but be true to yourself. I wish you much success and happiness in your future. If we were all the same what a boring life this would be, don't you think? You may never read this but remember your special and have been given a gift, a gift that gives you the ability to express your heart though music.
we'll always stick by you calum!
Always
thanks ❤️💕
I have come a long way to this great point and right from the very beginning you my fan have been solidly there for me , it's been a landslide but we pull through together ... your love and support are amazing and I appreciate every little effort..Have you been to my concert before ?
Calum is awesome.
Good for you Callum, it was very hard for me because I'm gay, when my father found out he didn't want to have anything to do with me.my younger brother said he accepted me but didn't. I have an older brother and he does. I don't know what is wrong with the world but love is love. It shouldn't matter who you love as long as you're happy.
I love his music so much.. the honesty and deepth in his voice carry me away to a beautiful dream
Man you're my inspiration!!

Calum...you were/are not alone in the journey of self discovery...Thank you for your story and it is authentic and helpful. Be Inspired
Brother Calum, you have saved millions of people in your music and story. And I am one of those. Happy Pride Calum ❤💜💙💚💛
Growing up in a fundamental church, a lot of my childhood friends quietly dismissed me after learning I was gay. It's awesome really, because it let me know the honest truth about who they are, and I don't want to be friends with people like that. I now live in the Philippines and here people love others no matter what. To abandon a friend because they come out is unheard of here. It's a treat to be living in such a place.
Calum you are my personal inspiration, making all of us stronger. Love you!
Happy Birthday to you dear friend, October 12, 2018 , may your wishes continue to come true. xx
You. Are. So. Brave. ❤❤
hi calum. i just turned 60, when i was a teen, i too confided in my best friend, i mean who else can you trust at that age. he couldn't wait to tell anyone who would listen to him. i was extremely popular but like you, i was treated like i had a disease. i had hoped that over the years young people would have it easier, wow, how foolish was i to expect that. you are a role model for younger and older generations. keep up the great work. thank you xoxo
I just wrote a comment on your live gig from home about the chemistry between you and Ilse on your duet.
I didn't know you were gay when I commented, and my perspective about the chemistry still stands, although now I understand it wasnt sexual chemistry...it certainly did seem genuinely from the heart.
I pray you have healed from the trauma of your friends betrayal, and I wish you all the at in life and Love.
Blessings
Thanks dear.❤️💕

Angelo Canton much love , success , and happiness to you and yours.
I experienced most of the same feelings growing up. Feeling different and not knowing why. Realizing I was different and had to hide my wants, and feelings and needs . Not being able to be myself I questioned my worth and lived in fear of being found out. Always sending out mixed messages to appear like the the rest of the guys. Finally I could no longer live with myself and had to be me at the cost of loosing what I thought was everything. It was a long process of coming to that point. But it is what made me the man I am today. One with much courage and strength and a huge loving heart. For those friends who walked away, weren't really your friends. Give them time too- some may realize the special friend you are. Have courage to love yourself and be the best you. Because you are worthy of love ❤️. Thank you for sharing your journey- with hopes that it may bring another hope and strength. Love you for all that is you 🤗
Love the story Scott. Not everyone in your life will walk away from you only the ones that dont matter. The ones who love you for who your are and care for you as a person will stay and that is the most important thing. We all have people and friends come and go in our lives but the ones that stay those are the ones to keep close. They will love and encourage you all through your life to keep pushing and just doing the best that you as a person can do. You have thousands and thousands of people that care about you and that love your music. So just keep doing what you doing in loving who you love and don't ever change for anyone. Much love Scott 👍🤠
Calum you might not read this but if you ever do I just wanna thank you so much. This video changed me and my life.
I will always support you, love you so much!💛
Thank you for sharing your story. Those who walk away were never there in the first place. Huge hugs and love from a mum who understands 💋 xx
Youre the best mum. Love you xx
Thank you! Xx
The reason I love his music so hard, is because he knows actually how it feels to hide for so many years. He understands the pain that people have to carry just because we can't be ourself. I'm happy for him that he has the courage and it inspired me...Someday,...oneday I hope I can show the world my true self and be accepted without hatred and find someone that can give me warmth that I've been missing my whole life,...
“If one less kid can grow up without having to hide who they are along the way or without having to believe that who they love will make them lonely then everything I’ve gone through will make it worth it.”
U R THE BEST👍👍👍
I love ur accent! And ure a very nice person. Thx for making my days. Ure a great human being no matter what. Love u Calum. I'm ur #1 fan!
This video also gives certainty about his human greatness when he honestly tells his own story, with the aim that maybe he will help someone knowing that he is being honest about himself. I think that many of us in the world have closed him in our hearts. Further success...............
You are who you are. Love is love. I understand the long restless nights of just having “arguments” with yourself about wanting to be “normal” as I’ve been there. It wasn’t until my early 20s I had just “given” up and said “I am who I am” and continued on. Even to to this day I’ve only told a few people about me because honestly it shouldn’t matter. You just have to be YOU! No one else can tell you how you’re supposed to feel. Keep it up and keep doing what you do!
Beautiful video! Love you no matter who you love! Saw you the first time you were on BGT and have loved you and your musical talents ever since! I know it was painful but don't worry any more... because the world loves you Calum! Big hugs!
I don't understand why this video has dislikes
Ummmmm it's not about u guys so bye don't waste your time if u don't like it just go away
Love u soo much Calum Scott NO MATTER WHAT
total agreement
BULLIES ARE EVERYWHERE........THIS IS HOW THEY GET THEIR KICKS IN LIFE......
Huge fan here. Those kids were not his friends. He deserved better . So glad he found the acceptance and unconditional love everyone deserves.
Who are we to judge ?Only our Maker.Your voice is really amazing.. A special gift 🙏🏻..Virtual hug ..God bless you ❤️💚
this is heartmelting..like for support for Calum
You have made a tremendous difference - never forget this!
Calum Scott I just wanted to let you know I am a big fan. I am a bit older but your song sums up my childhood and adolescence to a " T". I am sure this song and video hits home with so many young males. I don't know if you realize how many lives you have not only touched but saved with this song and video. May I also add that not only does your song and message have so much meaning, you are a very talented singer and song writer. God bless you....
Amen from a gay brother in the USA!!!!!
@@cliffhoelzer6895 Amen to you too my brother....
Thank you for telling your story. I had the exact same feelings, causing me to be closeted and miserable my whole life. I just came out to my family Christmas Eve and to everyone on Valentine’s Day. I waited 33 years to finally be myself and I honestly can say I am now the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been since coming out. Everyone has been very positive in my life so I don’t regret doing it. Only thing I regret is taking so long to do it.
