Fanders who shipped Thomas's home appliances a couple years ago watching this:

Look at him he's so fuckin happy and supported just like everyone else there I'm- :")""""""""""

I have no words, this was very emotional, perfectly PERFECTLY well elaborated.

He made many great points overall in regards to respecting his private life and others', on fetishization of the community, on his feelings about labels, on bullying, on confusion and denial, how his feelings on the word "gay" evolved over time, etc.

Many things I could relate to, on how it's difficult to find a label, on denial, on how his beliefs and relationship with christianity changed, and it really got me when he said he felt he didn't belong in the church, I am struggling with exactly that stuff right now

I felt really proud when he finaly said it, with bravery, without giving a fuck anymore what people think of him, and for surviving all those hardships to finally become who he is today, a much happier, confident, inspirational human being.

Ah just in general idk how to word what I feel right now but, Im just so fuckin proud of him, for listening to himself, for surviving, and for taking his time, no matter how much people pressured him, for becoming more comfortable with his identity than he was back then, and for having the courage to tell us.

Im very sure this video will help many kids rn, many adults like me, who still can't get her identity straight, damn this just got me so emotional yall im just so fuckin proud of Dan :")"""""""""
