Hi y'all! Matt here. This is a story that I honestly never thought that I'd be sharing with the world. My coming out story is a bit different from others you might have heard because it doesn't really have a conclusion. It's still an ongoing story that's being written every day.
My hope with sharing my story with you is that I can not only be completely raw & real with y'all, but to give you hope that no matter what situation you find yourself in...there's ALWAYS a way out. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel and if you need a helping hand, I'm always here.

Love y’all 💕
thank you so much for your real amazing video...
These stories are more prevelant than the "It was horrible or they (parents) were 100% supportive" stories... So many of us walk around wondering - Probably the worst way to go through life. Eggshells and holding our breath. Thanks for your honesty!
Bittersweet story. My husband's Dad is a super conservative Catholic so our strategy was to neither confirm nor deny. Meaning he never officially came out to his Dad but we lived a super open life. So when he visited we still slept in the same room etc. We didn't make a big deal out if it but we did not hide the fact we had a master bedroom that we shared etc. We always shared our life as a couple and never pretended we were not a couple. Eventually I started getting Christmas presents etc. It certainly took some time. So my advice is this: Make sure your parents know you and Omar are a couple. Share your life openly so if you go on a vacation that you want to talk about make it clear it was you and Omar. When your parents call make sure to share what you and Omar are doing. Go visit your parents with Omar. Maybe at first you have to do the separate bedroom thing or not actually sleep there. Especially don't avoid holidays. If they visit don't rearrange your house to make it look like you have separate bedrooms. It's now been 39 years (We met in first grade LOL) and our relationship with Bernie is great. I doubt he considers me his son-in-law and he would not come to our wedding in 2013, but all things considered we have a terrific relationship. Obviously your parents want to be part of your life so over time I'm guessing they will come around. Like my situation Omar may never be their son-in-law, but you could still have a warm cordial relationship. Luckily for me my family gave up religion when I was 12 so when I came out they didn't jump for joy but quickly they were our biggest supporters. Brian was always a son-in-law to them. Unfortunately my Mom and Dad were both gone by the time we were able to get married. They would have been thrilled.
Thank you for sharing your story Jim 💙
Jim Kohn, I am a conservative Catholic myself so I can see where Brian’s Dad is coming from. I am also ssa. So it’s been a hard row to hoe these many years past. Your advice to Matt is pretty much what I said to him above (with some tweaks it is similar to what I advised).
I'll give the same advice to Omar.
Just got into watching these videos again. The lgbt community is one of the most powerful communities when it comes to being mentally strong. Thank you for sharing!
my parents were still in the "hear no evil see no evil" limbo stage about me and my brother being gay, and then my brother found out he had about 6 months to live. my parents discarded their fixation on being gay and came to his rescue with unconditional love. the fact his being gay became totally secondary to the immediate reality that he may die. it was an amazingly cathartic revelation. that was in 1996 and we enjoyed each other as individuals and as a family until they died in 2014. i hope your parents can evolve and discover what is truly important in life.
Okay so kinda late this comment but did you’re brother die or not? because first you said he had 6 months to live and a few sentences later you said he may die
Thank you Matt for sharing your story, as closeted gay, where coming out public not an option, your videos and ig contents helps me a lot, since we don't have any role model here.
Again thank you very much
I'm here for ya bb
Matt, thank you for being vulnerable. In doing so, you've shown incredible strength and resiliency. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much Matt and Omar. So many resonances for me who only managed to come out aged 55.... also from a very religious small town background in homophobic South Africa..... all conversation with my mother ended when I came out 3 years ago. I found out after his death that my dad was gay, and had endured “therapy” at the hand of my mother and his parents in his 20’s. I have still not managed to record my story. Your guys stories are a particular inspiration to me to get to that point sooner than later.
Hi Matt and Omar : I've listened your both stories and i relate to them.
I'll be 31 years old this summer and i'm from a conservative family : By the culture like you Omar (They immigrate from Republic of Congo before i was born, so pretty conservative on this subject) and like you Matt with a very religious mum (I went to the church every sunday, and i was pretty active in the church).
I'm attracted to men since middle school but i began dating men from university. I'm with my boyfriend for seven years and a half and we're living together since 2016.
I've came out to my parents in the end of 2016 (Between Christmas and New year) because i was too pressured and it went very wrong (By words i've heard) : I did not spoke to my mum for a year and with my dad we often argued. We reconnected at Christmas 2017 and it's better. It will take time, it's a long process and we're still in. We talk every month (Before my coming-out it was every week) and we never talk about that THE SUBJECT (They know i've a boyfriend and know i live with him). It's a little heartbreaking but i say to myself "They'll talk about that the day they're will be ready so let them taking time".
Hug from France :) Thanks for sharing your both stories
So sorry you have to go through all this, my husband came out to his parents when we got together. Like yours it did not go well, they didn't speak to him for over 7 years or acknowledge our existence as a couple. Wishing the best for you and Omar, love one another deeply, truly, and always. 👍👏🙏
All the luuuuv to you 💙
This is kind of like my story. I am Indian. I came out to my mother last year and it sucks because she downright refuses to talk about it. All I want is for her to acknowledge it once and show support but guess that’s never gonna happen. I am trying to detach myself from people that hurt me but it’s so hard when it’s your own family.
What an incredible story! Thank you! 🌈
I can definitely relate to your story. Many similarities in my life. I think it is much more typical than we see on UA-cam. Thanks for sharing
Congrats! You are a wonderful young man!!
Thank you for sharing your story! It is so inspirational, I’m sure it will help many people 🙏🏻
This is amazing, thank you so much for sharing
Love you Matt! You're such a strong guy ♥
Thank you for sharing the story! It must've been hard for you to have different situation that you always expecting. I hope that soon enougj your family will understand and this moment will find its conclusion in the most positive way! 😊
Hey Matt, I'm right there with you... like almost to a T. Trying to have patience and hope for a day that may not ever come. It's extremely hard, but the fact that you still have love for your parents, Keep hold of that! I struggle with finding/having the idea of a chosen family, when all I really want is my family involved in my life.. my whole life! If you ever want to talk... need someone that "Gets it", I would be more that happy to chat. It's hard re-living part of the past that you are trying to move forward from, and I commend your courage for telling part of your story. Niagara Falls, CA here.
Thanks Matt for sharing your story. It has definitely been helpful for me.
I loved hearing your coming out story Matt and I commend you for your courage in making it public. I really enjoy the video's you and Omar post and hope you will continue to post them for a long time to come. LOVE and best wishes to YOU and Omar, from John in the UK.
An amazingly resilient young man! Prosper! You rock!
Just wanted to let you know I watched this with tears in my eyes. You are SO STRONG. I grew up in a religious family too so can definitely relate to feeling like there isn't another "option". Wishing you all of the love I can, you are a LIGHT IN THIS WORLD.
Awesome video. I can tell this video is very authentic and real. Can’t wait to see more videos from you.
Thanks for sharing, I know it is heart-wrenching but it all needs to be told because if we don't voice it others think they are all alone and no one else is like them.
I'm so happy I found your video. From the moment you started talking about having multiple bibles, I realized our coming out stories had some aspects in common. Thanks for sharing! Would love to connect with you!
Excellent editing as you closed the gaps in your story.
Good video Bud, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing! You're awesome! :)
No YOU'RE awesome!!! Thanks for watching :)
Thank you for sharing your story.
Even though it's too late to watch your coming out video, I'm considering myself as a lucky enough, u are a humble person that I have seen
Thank you Matt!
Your story is so important to share with the rest of us! I can definitely relate. Even though religion hasn't impacted my journey as much and even though I'm not from you part of the globe, the attitudes of your community growing up and comments on how people think of LGBTQ+ people do impact and hurt you, especially when you are as vulnerable as you are growing up and finding your way in life. It feels like traditional values of how your life is supposed to be, with family and all, is so important for people, especially in traditional and religious communities. It feels like if you're not following their path of how a life is supposed to be, they feel like there's something seriously wrong with you.
I can feel the same way being from a rural town in Sweden.
Even though it hasn't been 7 years for me in this "status quo", as I interpret you're living in at the moment, where you're unsure of your relationship with you parents, this situation of ignoring the subject of you being gay hurts you, especially when you feel like you have to lie and hide from important stuff in life from the people you have relied on the longest moment of time in your life - whom you still love to a certain extent, but have a complicated relationship with.
I admire you for speaking so openly about your journey. You're an inspiration, and by making this video, you have made it possible for me and others to maybe take that final step and start talking to our parents again and try to get them to know that side we're still hiding and, eventually, we might feel like we do not have to hide anymore with who we are.
I wish you all the best! ❤️
Your a beautiful person, I hear so much of how my parents, now 87, acknowledge but don’t discuss my relationship of 30 yrs. I stopped going to family get togethers when I realized I was being interrupted and cut off anytime I started to share my personal life. Sometimes you need to know when to remove yourself from harmful situations. I know my parents love me, but they really don’t want to deal with my life. I understand what your going through, it’s painful. However, I always remember, some people have it much worse. I try to focus on the positive! K.M, Florida
Don’t let nobody tell you how to live your life! Awesome video! Love this! Definitely subscribe!
Thanks for watching hun
Thanks for sharing your story. It may be hard to remember all this bad experiences. It's not always flowers and rainbows and acceptance... sometimes it's not that easy. It's important to share this kind you coming out stories because we (both LGTBQ+ people and people not from LGBTQ+ community) as a reminder that still nowadays in 2019 there's homophobia and we all still have to fight
YES!!! I completely agree - every single story needs to be told, no matter what the outcome was.
You seem like a sweet caring young man. I hope you find much love and happiness in life
This was heart wrenching, Matt ❤️ Thank you for sharing something so tough but undoubtedly important and inspirational for so many!
Awww Mel!!! Thanks SO much for watching 😘
Thank you for telling your story me and my fiancé recently told our story and we love watching others coming out story ❤️🏳️🌈
Awww!!! So cute, imma have to watch :)
Sequoyah, mate, cant find your story on your channel ? Hugs from gay guy in UK
So much love to you. 🖤🖤🖤
Thanks for sharing your story 💙 my story is different but with the same 'conculion' . I understand very well how you feel about this 🤗
My husband is from North Carolina (Harrells and later Wilmington) so this story resonated even more than others. Hope your parents will come to accept Omar fully in due course. Sending you tons of hugs.
Thank you for sharing your story, I hope you reconcile one day.
Thanks for sharing your story! I hope this story gets the happy ending one day. All the best! ❤️
Jay Argent all the love to you!!!
This is the 3rd video in a row that I have seen a comment from you
@@simoncowl8870 I hope that is not a bad thing. Lol. ❤️
You are such a lovely young man, you be yourselves we are all born different, so you enjoy your life, take care
I live ina TINY town, population under 200 people. Im 36 years old and still single. I hope that one day I can feel loved and to be able to give love.
:(
Thank you for being vulnerable for all of us. That was just so so incredible. I told my my parents about two and half years ago from now. I'm super grateful that I had a super ''cool'' and accepting dad that was completely fine with it. Sometimes a bit too overly cool that he kept on telling me what or what series or movies about LGBTQ+ topics that he watched and how good that was. But my mom was the opposite. She just gone really upset and kept on telling me how can i be sure if I didn't even tried to date a girl. But as ti,e went by and i kept on telling me more and more about me and cultural, she's cool now. We can even joking around about what male celebrity on the TV or in a movie was either TRADE OR NAH. LOL! As like your story, cuz I'm still single and I'm not sure how this story will evolve, but I believe it will all be even better than now. For you and Omar as well. Anyways, love you two!! Keep the awesome content coming! xoxo
*also, lol! I watched Will and RJ all the time back in the days, too!!!
Aww I love that
Great story. I hope you get some form of resolution from your parents. They need to realise the simplicity of the fact you are perfect the way you are. They did not make a mistake, they created someone wonderful.
be strong you got a lot of love sending hugs to both
All the love to you!!!
I 58yr old, and one of the most striking observations from watching 100’s of “coming out” videos and I’m not exactly sure what it says, that being that so many come from very religious homes.
Matt you’re very brave for coming out
I'm just proud that I can use my platform to share some inspiration with others who might be in the same situation I was in
I understand that’s not easy but you really brave for what you did
Matt, such an interesting story - each story is different. Am glad I found your and Omar’s channel - hope to learn how a North Carolina boy met a Pakistani Muslim from the UK. (Omar reminds me of Tan France from Queer Eye.) Have you met his Mom?
Thanks for sharing
There must be definitely a closure between you and your family. There should be acceptance and understanding. Matt be patient, the time will come.
Love u for sharing 🖤
God Loves you where you are at.God Loves you for you are. God is Love
I congratulate you on being brave. Your story is very similar to many gay/bisexual men out there who's parents have the same response before your even ready to accept yourself. I went through the exact same thing - including being asked to go to therepy, change my name, and move out of my house, that longer felt like a home... Then I learned the only way to live is to its fullest 👍⭐️😎
Thanks for sharing, all the love to you boo
I relate to u even we have 40 years difrents ur story well said ur very mature for ur age and I can see wisdom surficing brave man congrats and ur very good looking and hang roud people who can be ur row model to strength or abrace ur masculinity u will be more happy in years to come
Matt, Although I have been out since I was 20 (now 53) I avoided talking to my father about it for years. It was pointless. I knew it, but just couldn’t face it. Eventually my younger brother stepped in and forced the issue. It really helped. Although the conversation I eventually had with my father was brief, it really cleared the air and set a new tone to our relationship. This happened only a year before he suddenly died. What I’m saying is seize the day and don’t let the years roll by. You’re parents are probably waiting for you to raise the issue when you want to. If I were you, knowing my own story, I’d raise it. 😀
That was a call to action Matt! 😀
I can totally relate.........I grew up in a small town in Northern Minnesota. You didn’t dare talk about anything like that. I always knew from a very young age that I was gay. I had to keep it to myself. Even when I moved to Portland,Oregon in 1989 I still kept quite about it for many years. It took me until I was 41 and trying to end my life to finally come to terms with me being gay.
im crying.
I totally get this. I didn’t grow up in a small town, but growing up in a medium sized city in the 60s and 70s was fairly similar. I had no access to her role models or information about homosexuality that wasn’t overwhelmingly negative, and I also grew up with very religious parents who I knew would not accept my being gay. In fact, I bought into the idea that the feelings I had were wrong, and it was much later in my life before I realized that being gay was just who I was and not something I was going to be able to change. I never had a confrontation with my parents because I kept my feelings hidden, and there was no place like Facebook where I would have been able to have expressed that anyway. Consequently, I stayed in the closet totally until I was almost 30 and only came out to a few people at a time over the next 30 years. Now I am out to pretty much everyone except my mother (my father passed away over 30 years ago), and I think she has never asked because she doesn’t really want to know. So I certainly know what you are talking about as far as coming out being an unfinished story. But you are living your life in a way I never let myself do, and I admire that.
Thank you for sharing your story Lane!
You are so nice guy Matt , Be yourself Be confident in yourself Keep fighting! Be proud to be a nice person or a nice gay Much love from Thailand. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
They decided that they wanted you in their lives. Who knows what else they will eventually decide. Coming to understand that parents have lives apart from their children - that is a difficult concept. Parents have a tough time accepting that their children have lives apart from them, as well. Thanks for sharing your story.
I’m sorry for your parents, they’re obviously missing out on an exceptional young man. Sadly all base on their faith, and that’s just believing in something there’s no proof of. But you flesh and blood from them and they can’t be happy. That you’re happy. I had a client tell me recently that before her son came out she just assumed it was a choice. But after he came out she said at that instant she knew it wasn’t. And I wish more parents would recognize this and feel the same
yettobseen exactly I wish parents would stop assuming that being lgbt is a choice. My parents are African so their very dedicated to their faith. My mum always says that homosexuality is wrong and all of that. I’m planning on staying in the closet until I feel ready to tell my parents because if I do so now then things will get worse. I only shush that my parents realised that it’s not a choice it’s just the way I am.
Thanks for sharing as an openly gay guy myself I know how hard coming out is
Great video.
Thanks for sharing your story with us, you have to be grateful that you can enjoy your life, I'm in a country if I say I'm gay I'm going directly to prison or perhaps get killed by someone, I'm really having a hard time trying to hide my feelings and my sexuality, I thought once about suicide but I couldn't do it, I still have hope to get out of this miserable life
Wow Matt. I didn’t expect such a sad story. This is why we shouldn’t assume though, right. 7 years and no discussion is really hard. I wouldn’t be able to stand it that long. I just hope that on your path, you find a way to start a conversation with them. I can’t say I have advice because you have a three prong situation. Seems you worked your way through one, but you didn’t really say, the homosexual is wrong from the Bible part. I grew up with religion but I had doubts about the Bible itself that today I’m Atheist. Only been able to say that out loud for about a year, so still working on that. But came out with that too. A year ago.
I have the same story! I remember being so angry with myself. But now, I'm free of religion and with my girlfriend.
I could have sworn you were born in Canada! You do not sound like you are from NC at all.
Looool nope!! Southern north carolina boy all the wayyy
Congratulations on coming out, you’re such a cutie& welcome to the LGBT community🥰💓
Peace be upon you, with all due respect, you have to listen to me, I just want to say that:-
If you got anyone in your life that ever said to you ''how did it come to this'' in the unkind ways, you know what I mean. This is what you tell them, you look at straight into their eyes and you saying:
1. Religion is about Peace and Mercy of God.
2. Nobody should ever feel belittled for whoever they love.
3. Whenever you come to God, He will never judge you based on your sexual orientation, He will judges and look at you, by what kind of a person you are.
My story is kinda same, but different some ways. My parents didn't react badly on my coming out and that's what I expected from them, but it is still weird. As for my family we are not so close to each other personally but we are close as a family unit if it makes sense. We always do things together with my sibling and my parents, we love to spend time together. When we grew older and started dating and being in long term relationships they always invited our partners to join us and always asked about them. When I told them that my gf who I live with is not just a friend but my partner my mum said: 'We thought it...It's Ok. You're my daughter no matter what, I always love you and we don't want to tell what to do with your life. If it makes you(together) happy it is Ok.' As I told it that was what I expected from them, so I was(and I am) more scared of that they won't accept my girlfriend as a family member, because it is so important to me. My coming out was about a month ago.I'm almost in a daily contact with my mum, but she don't really asks me about my gf what she used to when I was with a man. We live in another city and when she asks when I will visit them she not mentions that my gf would come with me too. So I'm also waiting for their acceptance in this form too. It is really bothering to not know how it will ends. I know I wrote a lot but, I'm happy to hear about your story and wish you all the best in the end :)
Matt - I am 73, a dad, was married divorced at 45, have a son, I came out & divorced 28 yrs. ago. No One In My Life. YOU ever need a friend yourself, let me know. I do live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Yes I am gay!
❤️
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Thank you for your video. Soulforce is a great resource for the LGBTQ community that are seeking spiritual support. The United Church of Christ, Congregational Churches and Metropolitan Community Church are very affirmative of our community! Please send a link to how you and Omar met. Hugs to both
Hey, Matt and Omar, I grew up in a really small town in Kentucky, and I always knew I was gay.
I really relate to this. I am 17 and from Alabama and realized I was gay in 6th grade and until 9th grade couldn’t accept myself because of religion. I still am not out to them and they are very against it. They think gay people need therapy, too. I’m not sure what I will do about it when I come out
Hugs
Thanks for posting, you don't say if you have siblings for support. Perhaps they could assist with building relations with your parents. It's terrible you don't talk about Omar with your parents; he is your partner, hope they understand soon and you can have a fulfilling relationship with them. Best wishes for the future.
Thanks for wishes 💙 I do have two siblings, but they have similar belief systems, so it's all a bit the same with them.
I would be very proud of you if you were my son; being gay is no reason not to. Wishing you and Omar only the best.
I want to tell my mom I’m gay but I am struggling so hard with it. I came home for break, I’m a freshman in college, and it’s been on my mind since I got here and I can’t stop thinking about it.
Hey, Jaydon; I know how overwhelming it can be. I am a 20-year-old, also in the closet. If you feel that you have an accepting family, go for it. If that is not the case, for any reason - e.g., having a religious unaccepting household, which is my situation -, I would say to wait until you are sure that you are safe.
I know that, if I decided to tell my mom that I happen to be gay, she would give me hell on Earth with all her religious arguments, and, as I financially rely on her, I do not think the counterblow would be worth it. I have to admit that this is not the best position to be in: feeling caged up all of the time.
Nonetheless, I still believe life is worth living and "trouble don't last always", to remember an old saying. I hope you can come to grips with the anxiety it has been causing you. Hang in there, dear Jaydon. Peace.
Michael Kylow you took the words right out of my mouth. I could not agree with you more. I come from a religious family and my mum and I always clash when it comes to the lgbt community. I try to be as independent as I can and I don’t like to rely on her or my dad for anything. Coming out is a length long process and should only be done when you feel safe and ready. I’m just gonna be in the closet until I can afford to live by myself. Don’t worry you’re not alone, we have a very strong community here so if u need support we’ll give it to you. 😊🏳️🌈❤️
@@nathanosei-atenka71: good to know that there are other people in the same position. It not always feels like that. Thank you.
Might I make a suggestion? Your at the age where it's time to change your relationship structure between you and your parents. To move away from the all familiar child/parent model towards the adult/parent model (adult/adult). Are your parents people who you would include in your circle of friends, if say they were your neighbors instead of your parents. i.e. Would you invite them over to celebrate Oman's Birthday? As an adult, you have the power (baby steps) to take the relationship, mold it and influence your parents way of thinking, accepting, and rejoycing the Matt & Omar's family. It's all in the delivery of the message for the message to be non threating. Also, seek out advice from a Licensed Relationship Counselor on this matter.
It's too bad they couldn't wrap their heads around your being gay...but i expect they will get there eventually though it may take far longer than you might think, hopefully not.
But that being said know this about yourself...you had the courage to accept who you are and you went out and got a life. This is huge as there are many gays that never get to that point in their lives and stay in the closet, me being one of them. Now I'm 60 so it was a little different back in my day but not so different that I couldn't have gone out and found myself. My family all knew when I was 19 but i still stayed in the closet and avoided life for fear of my peer groups reaction...BIG mistake.
Bottom line...you made the right decision. However long it takes, if ever, for your family to accept who you are you have made the right choice. You only get one turn at this life and when the years are behind you...they are gone and can never be gotten back.
Final thought...I've always found it funny that religious types have the biggest problem with homosexuality. Did not Jesus while dying on the cross forgive those who had done it to him?? Did he not preach unconditional love for al?? Ironic that this critical lesson seems to be missed by so many of the devoted.
I'm a very hard person. I can't imagine myself in an open physical and emotional relationship with a guy, but I like men in my mind. I'm 38 years old, and I have never been in any kind of love relationship. Every day I ask myself that same question - am I gay or crazy?
Bad English sorry
Love 💙 u cutie 😘, you and Omar are super cute 😍 together
You’re not like this are you? That must have been so hard to hear from your parents. Thankfully you had at least one friend who supported you at the time.
&Pride
😘
💙
Gay men together forever ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Lovely boy
You’re a nice guy. I like Omar too except his style clashes with my likes, not that that matters at all. You are a nice guy, like I said. Your parents need not talk to you about anything gay or join in your life choices. Obviously they love you. They are religious and you can’t crave that they abandon the tenets of their beliefs. I don’t imagine you do. In a way, as long as they are not harmful in word or act toward you and Omar, you may have to except that detente. You and Omar need not push for acceptance of your relationship. You can say once to them that Omar is your partner and they can consider him to be your best friend. What do you think?

I’m sad for your parents, they’re missing out. They’ve based everything on some there’s no proof of, when there’s a living breathing person who is half of each of them. And they don’t want to be a part. That’s sad
If you want to know what I think about this it is to me that your parents has excepted you for who you are but not the lifestyle of you but they do except you as a son to them that is why they don’t want to continue the conversation about it with you about you coming out them as gay It’s just a part of you that you struggled with and some people like you has questions about sexuality and that’s normal and it is normal to ask these kinds of questions about it. And I do know for a fact that it is normal to feel like this so we’re going to your parents Is fine with you because you having to be their son and they don’t want to lose you to no bullshit. But they did do is drop the subject and that is all that did
And for people that allows religion get in the way of it and they are the ones that is missing out on their kids and not talking to them about the sexuality because it’s normal and. I can do a video about that once I am back and I hope that you are watching it In my eyes you are normal just for being you and makes a difference to me if you’re gay or not And why should you be any different from anyone else just be you and that’s normal
Religion poisen everything.
