Among YouTube’s coming out advice dispensers, we now have two firmly different schools of thought: There’s Onision, who recommends shutting up about your sexuality; and there’s Davey Wavey, whose hands flailing about represent his support for just screaming it to the world, because really, nobody cares about your gayness.
But the pair do agree on one thing: Coming out to your family can, sometimes, be destructive!
Except Davey insists “parents, close friends, family members won’t make a huge deal about your situation. We’ve all heard the horror stories families freaking out, and yes it happens, but fortunately those stories are the exception rather than the norm.” For which Mr. Wavey relies on vast empirical evidence, we’re sure.

has he been working out? Those biceps are looking pretty good!

The funny part is the very end (after you think the video’s
ended) where he explains the tee shirts in his closet and
how he wears them outside to keep up appearances because it
is “expected” or something – after telling people to be
themselves during the rest of the video.
Enron
Damn he’s hot!

I wonder what Davey would say to the 19 year old that emailed me saying that he’s afraid that his dad might beat him if he ever came out. it really breaks your heart that parents can be so hurtful towards their own kids.

Love him and he makes a good point. I’ve been out for idk 5 years now. An awesome college student thats gunna join the Army(like im part way into the paperwork and signed that dreaded DADT line) and I’m uber open. So yeah young people, come out!
David
When I look at him, all I see is Anne Heche and jazz hands.

This doesn’t make sense. If people don’t care then why do some gay guys feel like they need to go out of their way to let everyone know that they are gay? Do straight people go around declaring that they are heterosexual? This is really bad and stereotypical advice. You should not be ashamed of who you are but you are not obligated or required to tell everyone. What is the point? Most people actually find it rather annoying.

always put a support group of freinds together before coming out to your parents….Marie Osmond is a great example of doing wrong…

Two things
1) The “99% won’t care” is a figment of his imagination where he’s constantly surrounded, at least now, by people that don’t care about his sexual orientation. And his “exceptions are” statement which include parents is ridiculous, most parents “won’t care”, really? LOL. Most parents may eventually accept their child’s sexual orientation but to think they wouldn’t care just shows this guy lives in fantasy land.
2) If it isn’t a big deal anymore why tell anyone to begin with? Just let them find out and go with the flow
Mr.Jones
what’s wrong with his hands? doesn’t this guy work? God, you really 1) have no friends if you have to spend everyday making stupid little videos 2) take yourself so seriously. He is revolting.

Love those nipples. I’d suck them all night!

Mr Wavey should learn ASL (American Sign Language) so he can do something useful with his hands! Benefits: He could cultivate a Deaf following, develop a useful and marketable skill, and seem somehow more purposeful with his need to gesture so wildly.
p.s. i’m glad to hear that he does own some shirts. Yes he has lovely nipples, but some stores and shops do enforce their “No shirt, no shoes, no service” policy.
