Hey guys! I'm Quentin and welcome to yet another makeup-less video recorded with my webcam
The explanation for that is that my room is pretty small in the first place and with all the boxes in it
due to me moving soon, it's absolutely cramped, so there's actually no room to put my tripod and my camera
where I usually put them so, yeah. It's just a lot easier for me and it doesn't make me want to kill myself with each
video, so that's what's happening. Also I just got out of the shower so my hair is pretty much doing it's own thing
It's fine, okay. But I'm not here today to talk to you about my room, or my hair or the fact that I have no makeup on
But, I wanted to tell you guys about my coming out experiences - because yes, if you didn't know that by now
Hi, I'm gay! So this is gonna be a 2 part video, the first part is this week and the next part is coming up next week
Because I want to tell you guys about 2 different experiences that I had.
The first one is with my family, with my parents and my sisters
and the second one is gonna be with pretty much everyone else: my friends, my uh...
just, you know, the people I was with in high school and yeah.
Two different experiences, two different videos.
So I'm gonna start with how I came out to my family, and these are actually several different stories.
The first person I ever came out to is my sister Manon, you saw her in my "I Am Not A Robot" cover video
and also in my vlog when we went shooting a film in the woods,
So I was like 13 at the time and my sister and I always felt very connected and you know we were together all
the time, so it just felt natural for me to come out to her first, because I knew that she would
love me no matter what and that I could tell her pretty much anything and
I had spent the past - I don't know - months? Years?
Wondering about my sexuality for the first time, so basically what I did is - I kind of wanted to keep
a journal growing up but I never really did, I don't have it anymore which is kind of sad because I would like to read it now
and one of the few entries that I wrote in this journal was something along the lines of
'Dear diary, I think I like this guy' I'm not even sure who it was at the time, 'so maybe I think I'm into boys'
that kind of stuff, you know, like basically I was telling my diary that I was gay
maybe, I didn't know. So I immediately showed that to my sister Manon, and
I don't even remember what she said but it was very positive and yeah, it was just very accepting, and very
normal, like I didn't feel any different towards her because I had told her, so that was pretty great!
She then told my other sister Anaïs, I was kind of mad at her at the time for that but you know, she didn't mean
anything wrong by that. But my parents, on the other hand, did find out from me.
I had decided when I found out that I was gay that I would tell them when I had my first boyfriend
because I felt like that was the right thing to do. So that's exactly what I did!
It was way later, I think I was 17, and I had met my first boyfriend online, and he was from the Eastern part
of France and I'm from the North of France, so there was like... I guess 700km separating us
Maybe I'll put a map somewhere just to let you guys know what I'm talking about
So we decided that we wanted to meet in Paris cause that was kind of the meeting point between his location
and mine. So he was 19 and I was 17, going to Paris, on my own was a big thing on it's own
but lying to my parents about it, I just felt like it was very very wrong
The way I was thinking about it is that anything could happen to me, this guy could have been anyone
We had Skyped a few times but nothing assured me that he didn't have bad intentions towards me
but I really really wanted to meet him anyway because, you know it was like my first gay romance, whatever
But yeah, so that's the reason why I told my parents in the first place, and how it went was pretty...
I was really really nervous. I was a wreck.
So we were at dinner, it was just the 3 of us, my mom, dad and I
And there's this TV show that airs on one of the channels in France at meal time
and that we were watching, and I was like 'Okay, I will tell them during the commercial break'
And the first commercial break came, and I was not ready at all, I was barely eating anything, I was so nervous!
Which is normal, I guess!
So, the show went back on and I was like 'Okay I have to wait til the next commercial break'
The second commercial break came and I was like... 'Okay, mom, dad, I have something to tell you'
'So... I'm dating someone', and they were like 'Cool, okay'
and I was like 'but it's a boy', and they were like 'Mhm, okay, so what?' and I was like 'Oh
'They don't give a shit!'
Actually they do, they do give a shit but I mean it's not like they were reacting negatively to this
So anyway they ended up asking me questions about him, so I told them that we were supposed to meet
in Paris, and that somehow I trusted the guy even though I didn't really know him
but I would like make sure to be reachable any time of the day when I was in Paris, that I would text them every
hour or so, and eventually I went to this first date and it was fine, I guess, the guy and I dated for like 2 months
and then I was bored of him and I dumped him, which is not really cool on my part because he was really nice
But yeah that was like 3 years ago, so I guess we're both fine now!
So that's pretty much how I came out to my family. Well I guess they all knew for a while, I mean I can see
on the videos from when I was a kid that I was pretty flamboyant even as a kid
but you know they all respected my journey and no one tried to force me to tell them anything, but they all
made sure to let me know that I was safe if I ever decided to tell them, so
like my sister Manon once told me that she'd be so grateful to have a gay brother, my mom asked me
several times if maybe I was interested in boys, you know if I was gay it was fine, that kind of things
and I just feel so much better now that I'm out than I've ever felt before
I mean being gay doesn't define who I am but it's a huge part of me
and I'm very very proud of it. I will never be ashamed of who I am
I feel like I shouldn't have to hide because it's just not a big deal and it's just not anyone's business but my own
And I mean now I have a boyfriend who I've been with for a whole year and I would never ever trade that for anything in the world
So yeah, I hope this was somewhat fun or useful to anyone, that's pretty much it for this week's video
