I Was Ready To Die (My Mom Told Everyone I’m Gay)

It was the first trip with my church since I came out. One of the activities for the kids was canoeing. I couldn’t swim and I didn’t want to do it, but they put me in a life jacket and paired me with two older guys. I looked at them for the first time and I was immediately terrified. I’d been bullied mercilessly since coming out, so I was ready to die that day.

These animated stories often (as this particular channel has been shown to do) steal and even flat out make up these stories. If you want to keep using LGBT folks and our struggles as your cheap a*s click bait, at the very least give us the goddamn respect of actually telling real stories.

I am pretty sure it is true, as I heard a very similar story somewhere else. But it is very likely it was stolen.

this kind of story shouldn't be exploited for cheap views. to any kids who actually went through this, i'm sorry, i feel you, and you are worth more than your s****y parents. @ this channel: please stop making videos to emotionally charge your audience for your own selfish reasons.
