I have a rainbow ring that I wear all the time and one time in history my teacher noticed and asked about it, and said the liked it and asked if it meant anything and I was like "yeah, it means I like girls lol" and he smiled and went "do you have a girlfriend?" To which I replied unfortunately no, and he pat me on the shoulder and said "you'll find a nice girl someday, I know it." I usually hate history so much, but I love this teacher I swear-
aw i came out accidentally to my teacher as non-binary in an essay and she came to me the next day and said “hey! i researched this, and i was just wondering what your pronouns were?”
Sky'sTheLimit so heartwarming! My gf gave me a yin+yang bracelet, I have one side she has the other one! I wear it all the time (she doesn’t wear it but... I don’t really mind...)! We’re exact opposites BUT we get along so well... you’ll find the right girl someday! Promise! ^w^ (We people gotta stick together! Even dou you seem to be lesbian and I’m bi but mm... doesn’t rlly matter does it XD)
So did the one about the transgender girl making a deal with an angel cat to be her true gender. I thought it might've been the new Madoka Magica series, since I haven't seen it yet. It would've been really cool, especially since Kyubei specifically targets young girls.
@@clarencewilliams9094 But nothing is canonical, correct? Just like how nothing is canonical in Ouran, where Tamaki calls them the “homosexual supporting cast” when none of them are confirmed LGBTQ+? It doesn’t matter what you THINK, Ouran is queercoded, Haikyuu is not. It turns out, when your cast is 95% males, things will turn out feeling gay. Ouran has just a small amount less females than males. I rest my case.
Unfortunately most of the "lgbtq+ anime", doesn't exist to make people who are feeling unsupported feel good about themselves. A large majority of it is made as fujoshi bait to get girls who are obsessed with the IDEA of gay people to buy merchandise or watch the show. Plus many of those types of shows promote "rapey" relationships that really aren't healthy. Very few GENUINE lgbtq+ animes exist outside a select few movies, shows, or manga. It's sad, but it seems being part of the lgbtq+ community is still kinda hidden in Japan and you have to look a bit harder to find the media that really promotes it.
JostleJins why is that so true in Asia? I’m not Asian nor ever lived there and this is no hate to any one who is Asian or lives in Asia, but so many people fetishize lgbt in shipping and the media themselves but irl are completely homophobic to actually lgbt people. Like when an Army wanted to propose to her gf at a BTS concert in Paris, Korean fans tried to stop that from happening and even told the girlfriend that this was happening and ruined it all yet if you check their accounts they’re constantly shipping BTS. Just something I’ve noticed and again, no hate to anyone who is Asian or lives in Asia because I know many of y’all are great people, but it’s still a very conservative continent.
FireWork % Interesting to see an actual Japanese person discuss this and agree partially. I just hope many people from all around the world that most lgbt relationships aren’t stalkers or rapey and in fact like most het relationships, healthy and well...NORMAL!
@@JostleJins sadly that's pretty true because I saw what I thought might have just been a cute lesbian anime "citrus" but it turned out to be pretty rapy and not at all consensual, there was barely a plot ;-;
Last Year near my high school there was a man preaching how the LGBTQ+ couples were going to hell. That man was told many times to leave, however he did not, this went on for a month before students decided to question him on why he was saying such things but things turned for the worsted when he made a sexual comment about a female student the comment made the girl cry as her girlfriend was trying to comfort her. Students stepped in defending LGBTQ+ students. However that man punched a student and the man was sent to jail. But on a good note the students of my school stood up for LGBTQ+ students. Thought I would share this story.
This many be a year late, *but I don’t care* There’s an anime called “Given”, and basically it’s haikyuu, but gayer, revolves around music INSTEAD of volleyball, has a more tall and quieter Hinata, and the boys are smarter (I think)
if it makes you feel better here in saudi (a country where homosexuality is illegal) being gay in schools doesn't get you bullied. it's actually considered "cool". and if you were openly gay it gives you a popularity boost.
Cloud s well we don't see it like that. especially that the teachers and people in charge don't know about them (some do but ignore it unless they catch them kissing or something like that) like the illegal part isn't very important to anyone since it's actually pretty hard to get arrested for "being gay" it actually just gay sex. but yeah it's still frowned upon religiously and socially and maybe that adds some of the cool. but it's definitely not rebellion

When he said, "LGBTQ youth, hang in there." That made realize that Thomas Sanders and his videos, especially sander sides, help me with my fear of opening up as a lesbian and I wish I could meet him in person.
I want to learn in your school, like, I am the only one in the whole TOWN that is LGBTQ+ (I'm pan) bc I live in a little homophobic town in the middle of nowhere.
@@the-girl-that-does-stuff the other middle schools in the area legit call my school Gaylem its great. Also I am pan to that comment was before I met my Significant other
Literally same. I'm pan and over half my school is LGBTQ. Straight cis people are actually the minority at my school, and the minority is pretty much just the teachers.
When you said hang in there, I started crying. I’m not being bullied but I haven’t come out yet, and it just felt good to have someone encouraging me. Thank you Thomas.
As someone who just started coming out recently can I say that I believe in you. Take as much time as you need. There is no rush! But, I know that you will get all the happiness in the world.
i haven't come out to my family mainly cause i'm still figuring out my sexuality and I've only told my best friend that I like girls and that I have a crush on a girl in my class. I'm going into year six next year (Australian curriculum) and I might be exposed about it since the word might get out, so wish me luck! bye and have a nice day!
To be fair, a LOT of sports anime tend to attract a large LGBT+ group in the fandom. They have a lot of vibes and out-of-context moments that give you a hint of the gayness from the characters. :P
Once I saw Harry Shum Jr.: Me: *screams* don't let Harry down Thomas Thomas: *loses* Me: nooooooooooo!!!! Harry!!!! Thomas: *wins Harry* Me: yes!!!!! Magnus has come home to me!!! Ok I'll leave....
You guys have really helped me accept myself. I live in a really homophobic place and have never heard any terms other then ‘gay’ or ‘straight’ and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me when I realized I was different then those two... I honestly thought there was something mentaly wrong with me. But you guys helped me realize there wasent. That there’s nothing wrong with me. You’re my heros... Thank you so much for everything
Talking about non supportive families, I live in a household where I'm completely shunned. I identity as a nonbinary aro/ace and I have a conservative mother, a hypocritical father, siblings who aren't allowed to know because of how shameful I am...thank gosh for my amazing friends.
My dad is kind of mean about anyone bi, and surprise surprise, am just that. But hey, I'm proud of myself. Still haven't came out to my parents though... But I hope your parents accept you eventually. ☺
From your fellow nonbinary person, find ways to express yourself without telling your parents It's about your gender. If you're afab, then maybe you want short hair because long hair is a pain to tend to, or maybe you don't wear dresses because they're uncomfortable. If you're amab, then maybe you just think that girl's shirt looks good, or you like makeup because it's artistic. Make it about something practical, while always remembering why you're doing it. I don't know how much this helps when you're out, but just, remember to be yourself. At the very least, you need to sleep at night knowing that one day, you'll be able to make your own decisions and live as yourself. Don't lose hope, my friend.
Just wanted to say: Haikyuu isnt an LGBTQ+ anime! I know we'd all like the boys to be part of the community, but it's really mote about the friendship and teamwork between the boys rather than any Romance. Just thought I'd clarify!
@@zoie8088 Haha, yes! This isnt attacking Thomas or anything!! It's not actually attacking anyone, I juat fimd it funny that people tell others that Haikyuu is LGBT when it clearly isnt.
Samer The Animator wintercamp is a camp my church goes up to around Martin Luther King Jr weekend every year. The church youth group’s pretty homophobic but eh the camp’s fun
i was like Its Haikyu!! then... oh wait that's not... my brain: buT It CoUlD BE Me: you're not wrong... but then when it was i freaked and was like... I kNeW IT
Rix dude, we have the same thoughts Also I cried while watching masons Magica and at one point like halfway through the series I had to stop watching it for a could months but I did eventually finish it
I don't know if someone mentioned it, and not to be an "Um, actually" but, the academy in Gakuen Heaven is called "Bell Liberty" but they abbreviate it as "BL" because it's a fun joke. It's good though for a light watch, every episode starts with audio and B-roll only where it sounds like something sexy is going on but they're actually talking about pottery or something.
It doesn't tho... like if it were free! I would have said 'aight, its not canon, but there is a lot of ship tease so Ill let it qualify' but Haikyuu? Really really not. Like I can't think of an instance that the anime intentionally portrayed or even teased Hinata and Kageyama as anything more than friends. Nothing against the ships in haikyuu, im sure they're all sweet, but all but one (Kiyoyachi) haven't had a single scene that would give them any foundation im canon
@@Apanovi agreed, im a fujoshi myself but i dont ship any of the characters from haikyuu either. Theres no solid material to work from and the focus of haikyuu is the sport not the relationships between the characters
I was waiting for Yoi all this time when Thomas said: “It's like volleyball themed Yuri on Ice" x3 So he already knew it? Man, I wanted to see his reaction. x3 But Yoi is a masterpiece though.
5:38 If it makes you feel better, a group of my friends and I are openly lgbtq+ in school and honestly we stand. I'm pansexual and I'm telling the world!
Me and my friends know that people are some sort a gay before they come out. So far, there are two boys that we just know should be dating, it's so obvious, but only one has come out
One LGBTQ+ anime that's old but really great is Revolutionary Girl Utena, where a girl wants to be a prince after meeting one in childhood, and while going to school dressed as a boy and getting all the guys gals and nonbinary pals, she swordfights her student council members to win the engagement of the Rose Bride, a sweet and obedient girl at school
@@koolcats7898 I think it was mentioned because all of characters are guys, who are all shipped to one or more of the other characters, plus the fanservice. But then again there is a lot of fanservice and shipping in the Free! series as well. Which wasn't included.
literally, they said volleyball and I immediately said "haikyu" as a joke... I was right and now I started watching it... im on episode 15 now... (Edit/update) Ive been caught up on the series for a bit now, and can't wait for june
Harry is incredible in shadowhunters and plays a bisexual warlock in an amazing romance with a gay man coming to terms with his sexuality. Definitely watch it.
"Thomas, Harry Shum Jr. Is on the line" Me, internally: dont you dare touch a hair on his head I swear to God if you don't let Thomas have Harry I will destroy all
I LITERALLY CLICKED OVER FROM A SHADOWHUNTERS EPISODE WHEN I GOT THE NOTIFICATION (2 days late of course, but whatever) AND NOT ONLY WAS IT A SHADOWHUNTERS EPISODE, IT WAS THE GAYYYYYY SHADOWHUNTERS EPISODE
Cat: If you become a girl you’ll get 100 million dollars....but 100 million people will die.. Girl: *becomes actual gurl* Cat: main character person no...
Haikyuu is amazing but Boku no hero academia is amazing also! You’ve gotta watch them all! (Plus season 4 of both comes out this year! *quaking in anticipation*)
Haikyuu isn't actually lgbt.. Hinata and Kageayama arn't dating (itleast not yet, tho I haven't read the manga) and I don't think they will, but I'd be plenty happy if I was wrong.
@@tyler_i_guess5976 they aren't dating. Honestly, as a lesbian myself, I'm sad that that person submitted a non lgbtq themed anime when thats what they were asked to submit. I mean, if my lactose intolerant aunt wants to try some new sweets I'm not gonna recommend her cheesecake, am I?
@@hayleylzbth its because its not an actual lgbtq anime. Haikyuu is about volleyball and the team's journey to nationals. I myself enjoy the ships greatly however thats what they are, strictly ships. Its fanon but not canon. Its perfectly fine to make the characters gay in fan arts or representing yourself, however it is not an an actual lgbtq anime, its just simply a sports anime with a nice driving plot.
@@thepikabear I know that, it's one of my all time favourite animes and all I was saying is that the person may think of it as a gay anime. I know that it isnt and it's just an opinion.
I love this series so dang much. It's just so wholesome and entertaining! And you know...I'm learning more things about the community and it's great! Despite it being really sad. I'm very fortunate my friends and family were accepting of me. Love this guys!!
Today I’m going to come out as lesbian to my mum and I’m really nervous. I just want to say thank you. I’ve been watching you for a long time and you’ve inspired me to be myself. Thank you, love you guys ❤️❤️ Edit: It went great and I was accepted thank you all for the nice comments it made me so happy
The School in Gakuen Heaven (which is funny as Anime or Manga btw) is actually called the "Bell Liberty Academy" which is shortened to "BL Acadamy" ^^ But I guess literally everyone is calling it Boys Love Acadamy, since it is a all boys school as far as I remember and there is a lot Boys Love going on ;)

Maybe they know it, as they know Yuri on Ice

Yeah, people just want it to be gay XD
To be fair, a LOT of sports anime tend to attract a large LGBT+ group in the fandom. They have a lot of vibes and out-of-context moments that give you a hint of the gayness from the characters. :P
aoreo true sis
I love the junji ito uzamaki jacket!
Once I saw Harry Shum Jr.:
Me: *screams* don't let Harry down Thomas
Thomas: *loses*
Me: nooooooooooo!!!! Harry!!!!
Thomas: *wins Harry*
Me: yes!!!!! Magnus has come home to me!!!
Ok I'll leave....
You guys have really helped me accept myself. I live in a really homophobic place and have never heard any terms other then ‘gay’ or ‘straight’ and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me when I realized I was different then those two... I honestly thought there was something mentaly wrong with me. But you guys helped me realize there wasent. That there’s nothing wrong with me. You’re my heros... Thank you so much for everything
holy shit you guys noticed me oh my god Thomas you’re my hero I love you aaah
Scribbles Senpai noticed u~~
Talking about non supportive families, I live in a household where I'm completely shunned. I identity as a nonbinary aro/ace and I have a conservative mother, a hypocritical father, siblings who aren't allowed to know because of how shameful I am...thank gosh for my amazing friends.
I'm sorry your family is so non-supportive! You are a beautiful and strong person, I know you will make it through
❤🧡💛💚💙💜
So sorry :( I support, hope you can take comfort in knowing someone does 🙃
My dad is kind of mean about anyone bi, and surprise surprise, am just that. But hey, I'm proud of myself. Still haven't came out to my parents though... But I hope your parents accept you eventually. ☺
From your fellow nonbinary person, find ways to express yourself without telling your parents It's about your gender. If you're afab, then maybe you want short hair because long hair is a pain to tend to, or maybe you don't wear dresses because they're uncomfortable. If you're amab, then maybe you just think that girl's shirt looks good, or you like makeup because it's artistic. Make it about something practical, while always remembering why you're doing it. I don't know how much this helps when you're out, but just, remember to be yourself. At the very least, you need to sleep at night knowing that one day, you'll be able to make your own decisions and live as yourself. Don't lose hope, my friend.
When Thomas said "Hang in There, LGBTQ+ Youth" that made me so emotional for some reason 🤧💕 But nonetheless this was an amazing video!!
Me too human sibling, me too
Yeah, me too-
Being bisexual kinda sucks where I'm at-
roman: and that was the only time thomas ever had multiple hot guys on his sofa
virgil: too right it was!
Oh nooo..
Joanachu is back again with another intro!!!!
Just wanted to say: Haikyuu isnt an LGBTQ+ anime! I know we'd all like the boys to be part of the community, but it's really mote about the friendship and teamwork between the boys rather than any Romance.
Just thought I'd clarify!
Isn't that the one with the edit at the bottom saying that EXACT same thing??
@@zoie8088
Haha, yes! This isnt attacking Thomas or anything!! It's not actually attacking anyone, I juat fimd it funny that people tell others that Haikyuu is LGBT when it clearly isnt.
IT
GOT
GAYER!!!
Ahh I love these so much! This is going on my Wintercamp playlist!!
Whats wintercamp
Samer The Animator wintercamp is a camp my church goes up to around Martin Luther King Jr weekend every year. The church youth group’s pretty homophobic but eh the camp’s fun
"I haven't seen you in Shadowhunters yet."
Me: THOMAS SANDERS AT LEAST READ THE FIRST BOOK, OTHERWISE YOU WON'T GET HALF THE MALEC JOKES
9:20 Ok but that sounded a LOT like Puella magi Madoka magica except the girlfriend part
Yeah I was like “GET OUT THAT IS MADOKA MAGICA!”
Well they're not tasked with destroying the world per se...
But I did think it was a (debatable) description of Madoka Magica, for sure.
Mercure250 they were given their powers to destroy their world in orders to save another
I mean but also kinda the girlfriends part to ( Sayaka and Kyoko, Homura and Madoka)
BRING BACK MADOKA MAGICA I WANT MY FUNKY MURDER LESBIANS
Still waiting for the fake animes to become real
Did someone seriously add Haikyuu as a LGBT+ anime y'all ...
I think it's all the tension between the characters..
Ahem kagehina and asahi and Noya ahem.......
R Jackson the shippers....what are you gonna do about it 🤷🏾♀️
Even the straight ships arent cannon. it has 0 romance and it is just about volleyball
R Jackson it’s all about volleyball and to reach a goal, but I guess it’s the way you perceive it 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
i get shipping but since it has no canon romance it can only be a sports anime.
"Two volleyball-" Me: *squeals* HAIKYUU!!!!!!!!
I scared my dogs with my squeal
I knew it right away tho I wish that story line was really
i was like
Its Haikyu!!
then...
oh wait that's not...
my brain: buT It CoUlD BE
Me: you're not wrong...
but then when it was i freaked and was like...
I kNeW IT
Wait but it's not a LGBTQ anime why did the person put that
I was squealing with joy, and laughing way to much....... my family is giving me weird looks again.....
Funny that 2:44 is basically "Madoka Magica but trans" considering that the source anime already has a canonical lesbian main couple. LGBTception!
Rix dude, we have the same thoughts
Also I cried while watching masons Magica and at one point like halfway through the series I had to stop watching it for a could months but I did eventually finish it
Lol yep
I thought that and also the second to last one except they're dating
Is it bad that I watched this video to discover new LGBTQ+ animes/mangas? 😂
IDK that's what I do
Nah I did the same
I mean that’s what I was doing sooo 🤭
Caroline Ghen. No I literally did this for like all of the videos
No, I'm watching for anime recommendations and facts for my LGBT+ discrimination essay.
I don't know if someone mentioned it, and not to be an "Um, actually" but, the academy in Gakuen Heaven is called "Bell Liberty" but they abbreviate it as "BL" because it's a fun joke. It's good though for a light watch, every episode starts with audio and B-roll only where it sounds like something sexy is going on but they're actually talking about pottery or something.
Less of a “uh actually”, more of a “fun fact”
@@phastinemoon Well, the "Um, actually" was that the school is not named "Boys Love". The noting of the play on words was definitely a fact though.
Joan in the beginning is me during exams. ive been waiting for part 2!! :D
Hahah XD hope you enjoy!!
I like how Haikyuu just has so much male on male action that everyone is fanonically gay.
It doesn't tho... like if it were free! I would have said 'aight, its not canon, but there is a lot of ship tease so Ill let it qualify' but Haikyuu? Really really not. Like I can't think of an instance that the anime intentionally portrayed or even teased Hinata and Kageyama as anything more than friends.
Nothing against the ships in haikyuu, im sure they're all sweet, but all but one (Kiyoyachi) haven't had a single scene that would give them any foundation im canon
@@Apanovi agreed, im a fujoshi myself but i dont ship any of the characters from haikyuu either. Theres no solid material to work from and the focus of haikyuu is the sport not the relationships between the characters
I ship everyone in Haikyuu but I know full-well that it's pure fantasy and that it will never be canon. But I'm weirdly ok with that, tbh
Love the behind the scenes 😂
CamCam is truly iconic
I was waiting for Yoi all this time when Thomas said: “It's like volleyball themed Yuri on Ice" x3
So he already knew it? Man, I wanted to see his reaction. x3
But Yoi is a masterpiece though.
I flipped the f out when he said YOI like my God I’m so late to the party but I love that show
3:01
Thomas: Gotta catch 'em all,hot guys!
Me: Gotta catch 'em all, hot *_everyone_*
Melanie Espinoza 💗💛💙
Just your friendly neighborhood pansexual here. :3
Me too 😂
:DDDDD
Yay, my peoples :D 💗💛💙
Time to find out what anime I'll be watching instead of doing my homework.
BANANA FISH!!
Rafadork YES
This game is an emotional ride between cute stuff animals with hot people faces on them and depressing facts
5:38
If it makes you feel better, a group of my friends and I are openly lgbtq+ in school and honestly we stand.
I'm pansexual and I'm telling the world!
Me and my friends know that people are some sort a gay before they come out.
So far, there are two boys that we just know should be dating, it's so obvious, but only one has come out
Thomas just telling LGBTQ youth like me to “hang in there” really hit me in the feels for some reason. Thank you Thomas 💕
"Hang in there LGBTQ+ youth"
Well I'll sure as hell try lol
If you see this I love you 🏳️🌈
Edit: SKSKKSKSKS I GOT NOTICED I AM QUAKING IN MY GAY BOOTS
Aw thanks. Your a great person Fallon
*MINYOONGIISMINE*
@@trinityt-t3625 ok 🤣
HELLO ARMY
Aw!
😭 ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
4:52
Wait a minute...wANDERING SON WAS ON HERE????? I LOVED THE MANGA OMG
thomas sanders and friends really out there giving the gays the lgbtq+ content they need
One LGBTQ+ anime that's old but really great is Revolutionary Girl Utena, where a girl wants to be a prince after meeting one in childhood, and while going to school dressed as a boy and getting all the guys gals and nonbinary pals, she swordfights her student council members to win the engagement of the Rose Bride, a sweet and obedient girl at school
Its LGBTQ+? It was my second anime to watch ever, when I was like 4 (I have an older sister, by 12 years)... How did I not realize this now?
I fucking LOVE rev girl utena, but it does get very dark
oooo that sound amazing! how many seasons and/or episodes are there???
@@voidocringe3607 39 episodes 1 movie
Haikyuu doesn't really qualify for this.
yeah as much as it would be great if it was gay i was confused why it was included
Same I mean the ships are very cute and all but it doesn’t exactly qualify because none of them are cannon or obvious in the show/manga
That’s what I’m thinking
@@koolcats7898 I think it was mentioned because all of characters are guys, who are all shipped to one or more of the other characters, plus the fanservice. But then again there is a lot of fanservice and shipping in the Free! series as well. Which wasn't included.
@@AVampiresHeart fandom doesnt count as representation
literally, they said volleyball and I immediately said "haikyu" as a joke... I was right and now I started watching it... im on episode 15 now...
(Edit/update)
Ive been caught up on the series for a bit now, and can't wait for june
So... as soon as the volleyball thing came on I literally screamed Haikyuu even though I’ve never watched it
The only thing is, even though I love it, it's not an LGBTQ+ anime.
@@peepawliliavanrouge not yet ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Same Completely
ed: I lol-ed since it's not really classified as that tho. XD
@@peepawliliavanrouge Yeah... People's ships...
Me too... me too... Although I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be LGBT+... But what do I know?! I haven't watched it🤷
Kiss Him Not Me
It’s about a girl who literally ships dudes and suddenly becomes beautiful, and still ships guys who like her
Moonie I forgot which one but theyve actually had it in one of the real or fake anime videos already :)
That is so me. Loved that show.
I legit was thinking of that the whole time😂😂😂
Love that anime it’s so funny 😂
That anime makes me laugh so hard XD
Kinda disappointed that No.6 wasn’t mentioned.
Edit: I mean come on Shino x Nezumi
Noe Random it was mentioned in another video of these
OMG! I just made a comment that he should do another for that specific reason. I'm so glad someone else thought of it
@@GrislyART. Which video was it mentioned in?
themaan pt.5 of this series
I was waiting too.
**there being no Jonathan groff**
Me: **shocked Joan as pikachu face**
ahhh yes disappointment.
Harry is incredible in shadowhunters and plays a bisexual warlock in an amazing romance with a gay man coming to terms with his sexuality. Definitely watch it.
A fabulous badass bisexual flirtious charming wizard. Him and alec, his future partner, are the saving grace of the first season.
I love Shadowhunters so much. And I agree everyone should watch it.
He's my fav character on the show
It’s a bad show but Malec is perfect
Ahhh malec is getting their own book!!!! I'm so excited
"Thomas, Harry Shum Jr. Is on the line"
Me, internally: dont you dare touch a hair on his head I swear to God if you don't let Thomas have Harry I will destroy all
I can't believe he didn't watch Shadowhunters yet
I LITERALLY CLICKED OVER FROM A SHADOWHUNTERS EPISODE WHEN I GOT THE NOTIFICATION (2 days late of course, but whatever) AND NOT ONLY WAS IT A SHADOWHUNTERS EPISODE, IT WAS THE GAYYYYYY SHADOWHUNTERS EPISODE
I’ve been wanting to watch that show SO badly! Where do you watch it?
@@Obby004 I watch it on Netflix
yes!! the best episode but like.... aren't all the episodes with alec gay?
Lol which one
I mean all the Shadowhunter episodes are gay but the books are gayer
right at 3:05 when Dominic said: "When two people from rival volleyball teams." I was like "OMG its F*cking haikyuu isnt it?!"
Cat: If you become a girl you’ll get 100 million dollars....but 100 million people will die..
Girl: *becomes actual gurl*
Cat: main character person no...
Haikyuu is amazing but Boku no hero academia is amazing also! You’ve gotta watch them all! (Plus season 4 of both comes out this year! *quaking in anticipation*)
Was it just me or did anyone else read that in the Pokemon theme song? (The got to watch them all part)
Yu Chen Lin 😂 samerr
bfrebyua dheuw same im so excited
Real Anime List:
Haikyuu
Wandering Son
Yurikuma Arashi
Gakuen Heaven
Haikyuu isn't actually lgbt.. Hinata and Kageayama arn't dating (itleast not yet, tho I haven't read the manga) and I don't think they will, but I'd be plenty happy if I was wrong.
@@tyler_i_guess5976 they aren't dating. Honestly, as a lesbian myself, I'm sad that that person submitted a non lgbtq themed anime when thats what they were asked to submit. I mean, if my lactose intolerant aunt wants to try some new sweets I'm not gonna recommend her cheesecake, am I?
Lol Haikyuu is sports, not lgbt
Dominic: **says boys love academy**
Me: **knew right away it was Gakuen Heaven**
Also me: wait... isn't it supposed to be Bell Liberty Academy?
W all know what the name really was.
Haikuu is all about volley and HOT guys but not Boy Love~ so it’s not in LGBTQ
I think what matters is what the audience thinks
@@mikadomikaela no? it doesn't? if there's no gay in it then it's not,, gay.
@@asheyreyd3435 and... so what. It's their opinion.
@@hayleylzbth its because its not an actual lgbtq anime. Haikyuu is about volleyball and the team's journey to nationals. I myself enjoy the ships greatly however thats what they are, strictly ships. Its fanon but not canon. Its perfectly fine to make the characters gay in fan arts or representing yourself, however it is not an an actual lgbtq anime, its just simply a sports anime with a nice driving plot.
@@thepikabear I know that, it's one of my all time favourite animes and all I was saying is that the person may think of it as a gay anime. I know that it isnt and it's just an opinion.
“Thomas, can you step back a little bit? So I can see Harry Shum Jr?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. This use to be my video!”
yEEEETTTT FiNALLYYYY
its 2am and im watching this and i have two tests tomorrow help
Joan doing poses in the background is something I didn't know I needed

I love this series so dang much. It's just so wholesome and entertaining! And you know...I'm learning more things about the community and it's great! Despite it being really sad. I'm very fortunate my friends and family were accepting of me. Love this guys!!
I would recommend you an anime
Its called Seraph of the end its so good
i love the intro so much
you just had to stand there 😂
Being in love with Tomas Sanders because he likes Shadowhunters, Me: A girl... 😭
JOAN IS MY FAVORITE!!!!!!
They're my fave too!
Can you please do another pride video this June? The last one was really inspiring ❤️🏳️🌈
Today I’m going to come out as lesbian to my mum and I’m really nervous. I just want to say thank you. I’ve been watching you for a long time and you’ve inspired me to be myself. Thank you, love you guys ❤️❤️
Edit:
It went great and I was accepted thank you all for the nice comments it made me so happy
Good luck! (I don't know if that's weird, sorry)
Good luck!!!
Good luck Comrade!
Good luck!!!
You're so brave to do that.Good luck.Wishing u all the best.
Joan: *posing*
Me: thank you Joan, very cool
The School in Gakuen Heaven (which is funny as Anime or Manga btw) is actually called the "Bell Liberty Academy" which is shortened to "BL Acadamy" ^^
But I guess literally everyone is calling it Boys Love Acadamy, since it is a all boys school as far as I remember and there is a lot Boys Love going on ;)
oOOOoOO
Hey! I just started watching that anime~~ The start of basically all the episodes is so misleading haha
