Ok but the fact that nun used BABY dolls to demonstrate sex. Like that is so wrong on so many levels. The whole situation was just wrong but the fact it was dolls that look like babies just makes it worse.

Keara feels like that queer older sibling I and I'm sure many others never had but are glad we do now 🥰💙

"I thought being gay was like a movie thing" No no I feel you, for YEARS I thought it was just some weird fanfiction thing

I came out to my parents today. One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do but I’m glad I did! Your Chanel really helped me when I was struggling! Love ya keara

"Because... yknow... the pieces don't fit together" - This nun is just- Oh my god, girl no...

I got called my preferred name for the first time by my theater class instructor the other day! I hate my given name sm so it was so amazing :)

EVERYONE THANK KEARA FOR THIS MASTERPIECE OF A CHANNEL!

I was at my bffs house (we’re both teens who haven’t come out yet) and I was explaining the storyline of friends to her. All I said was that Ross married a lesbian and she said “shhh my parents are in the next room” WE WERENT EVEN TALKING ABOUT US BEING LGBT!!!!!!

I grew up Mormon, and in my 9th grade seminary class one day, my teacher had the class debate on a few current issues, and when it came to gay marriage, literally everyone on my half of the room (which was supposed to represent the “for” side) stood up and walked to the other side of the classroom (the “against” side) except for me. It was seriously the kind of thing that would make me roll my eyes and say, “yeah, sure, that totally happened,” if I didn’t witness it myself. Not to be overly cheesy, but that moment taught me the meaning of the phrase, “stand up for what you believe in, even if that means standing alone.” I was fully preparing myself to argue my side single-handedly (although I’m sure I wouldn’t have done a very good job of it back then), but my teacher just decided to move on to the next topic instead. Tbh I’m still lowkey salty about that

THAT THING ABOUT DISCOVERING YOUR SEXUALITY AS A KID AND THEN PUSHING IT DOWN FOR A FEW YEARS AND THEN FINALLY ACCEPTING IT AHHH I DIDNT KNOW ANYONE ELSE UNDERSTOOD THAT!! thank you that makes me feel so much less alone❤️

Also yes, the girls locker room is SO incredibly nerve-wracking and I just go to the shower and avert my eyes if anyone is still changing after I come out... 😩

Tw: mentions of suicidal thoughts This is my vent. A few months ago, I forced myself to believe that I was going to hell for being a lesbian, and because I like girls god doesn't love me. I would lay in my bed crying, wanting to kill myself. Keara's videos have helped me feel valid, and comfortable with myself. I am no longer in that dark place. Remember if you are ever feeling depressed, don't be afraid to reach out. You matter.

Last year in my ethic class we talked about getting children and the fear of being pushed into the cliché women role by our husband. I (lesbian) wanted to to make a joke that I can relate to this fear to my best friend. We sat in the first row and when I made the joke my teacher looked at me. In the next question the teacher said "your husbands.. Or wives" and looked at me and my friend

I am so jealous of people that have genderless pronouns (like they/them) in their language. We talk spanish in our home but there arent any official genderless pronouns, or a pronoun that works for both genders :/

Legit, I remember from middle school, I remember all the things you would get called "gay" for. All my friends were gay, and I didn't realise until highschool that I was genderfluid, but I remember when I wasn't with my friends that people would get called gay for doing "weird" shit. Like, how does eating a nectarine make you gay?!

You should totally read the book "Walking the Bridgeless Canyon: Repairing the Breach Between the Church and the LGBT Community"! It covers a lot of information on how politics influenced the Church's view on being gay and it addresses what the Bible actually says about same-sex relationships (spoiler, there's not actually anything in the bible saying same-sex relationships are bad, it's all misinterpretations, mistranslations, and other BS).

I have this “friend” and he makes SUCH a conscious effort to prove he’s not gay “Yeah, I took the curl out of my hair cause it looked gay” “I wish I could have more colorful shirts, but, y’know, straight” “I WOULD join the dance team but I’m too straight for it”

As a lesbian who went to catholic school and suppressed her feelings for way too long, I highly approve of this video. Also my story: we had this one girl in our class who shaved her hair before PE and went to the Prom dressed in a suit and I always admired her for just being herself. Now this person is non-binary and goes by they/them. They travel live in a camper with their girlfriend and dog. I envy them so much. They’re such a mood!

Okay, this video is wild, BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT YOUR LOOK?? GORGEOUS.

Hi Keara! Here is my story! So I was struggling with the depression and one day I just broke down and luckily I was able to talk about it with my stepmom. I started growing comfortable around her, she asked me if I have a crush on anyone, I said yes. She then said oh is he handsome. I then quietly said “actually, I have a crush on a girl”. To my surprise my stepmom had a happy and shocked look and said I knew it! Apparently she had her suspected me being LGTBQ. She told me nothing is wrong with it and that in highschool she used to date many girls and found it and poly relationships really cool! She is really supportive and the first one I came out to! I am pansexual by the way 😊 however I was not expecting for her to be Bisexual! We r now even closer

I came out to my friends as non-binary and last year I came out to them as lesbian. Religion has always been something weird for me because of seeing people hate on LGBTQ+ but I do believe in a higher power.

Your hair is really similar to mine (trans girl) and you are the definition of what I want to look like. Gender envy to the max!

hey keara! your description of how you believe god exists in all of us instead of as a separate entity really reminded me of quakerism and i was wondering if you have ever explored it? i grew up going to a quaker school and feel really connected to the community; even though i don't believe in god i believe in the quaker concept of the "inner light" within everyone which is basically what you were describing

I am a trans woman and after I came out I was comphet. This year I have finally faced that it’s ok to be a trans woman and a lesbian and want to date. The shame lasts way too long. Just wanted to add you are adorable so thanks just for being you.

At my school we get shouted at and told of if we say someone is gay or a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

After I came out I felt it was necessary for me to ask my friends if they thought it was uncomfortable for them with me in the changing room at school, which is kinda sad I felt the need for that. Luckily I have some amazing friends who obviously didn't have a problem with it

I came out to my parents, and then they came out to me.... This was literally what happened: (Btw, don't question the relationship lol) Me: I'm pan (I later realized I'm omni) Mom: I'm bi! Mum (kind of like step-mom): that's cool! Your dad and I are pan too! Me: 😲

I came out to my mom kind of (Just kinda said that I'm definitely not straight) and the first thing she did was tell me I'm too young to know so your vids are a life saviour and I love your channel Keara, thanks so much for making me laugh ❤

as someone who goes to a catholic school and is queer.. i love this 💀

Omg 2 years ago my 8th grade English teacher made me get up and do 10 push-ups in front of the whole entire class because I said the word “gay.” And I was literally just telling my friend about this guy I met at a basketball game that was really nice and funny. Like not offensively at ALL. Like if she wasn’t listening to my private convo then she wouldn’t hear it

I went on a church youth trip. When it came to bedtime there was not enough space on the boys side of the sleeping quarters and so I was placed in with the girls. Little did they realize how right they got it (heck at that point even I didn't know) your friendly MTF Pastor --- p.s. I woke up holding hands with one of my crushes.

Who else grew up so repressed that they didn't realize they weren't straight until long after moving out of their parents house?

theres this kid in my class, it was health and the teacher was doing this assignment where in groups you would match the problem to the description, like for example: racism, violence, ect. i was put into a group with 3 of my gay friends and this one guy. when i saw "homophobic" i started joking with my friends "lmaoo imagine being scared of gay people" and this guy said "thats not how homophobia works." i knew that obviously as a lesbian so i just said "what??" and he replies with "yeah i am homophobic so i would know." LMAOO anyways so i start like questioning him "is it cause you're religious??" "no im an atheist" THEN i said "does it make u uncomfortable to know i can pull more girls than you?" then he left our group and sat with his friends LOLL

Omg I used to think people were only gay in like certain cities😂I literally can’t with myself

My dad threw me, and my sister out for being bi now we live with my mom and her wife and their daughters

I came out to my mom as Bi and Ace around a week ago. And to be honest, I have no idea how she feels about it. About me being Ace, she kinda thinks I’m just going through a phase, and “Oh it’ll come to you later, I was Ace too when I was your age”. And about me being bi…I *legitimately* have no idea. A day after I came out to her, she talked about how men are made to like women, and women are made to like men. I dunno, something like that. I just tuned her out. I guess she…kinda supports me?🤷‍♀️

Thank you Keara. Your videos always make me feel better💙

mine is the confession about making out with my gf in the counselling room - can’t believe this is on the internet now HAHAHA

I friggin love you the vibe is always so comfortable

keara has such good vibes ✨ their content always just makes me feel so warm n fuzzy 🥺🥺🥺

Before I even knew I was queer, I was so nervous in changing rooms because I didn't want to look at the girls and it was just so nerve wracking because my eyes would stray to some girls when they were in their underwear (I distinctly remember this one girl wearing a matching blue lace set a couple lockers down and I thought it was gorgeous lmao). One year later I realized and I only just remembered these moments four years later fnlkshdfdk I'd like to add that that was my first year in that school which made it even scarier :]

Dude one time I told my counselor I was getting bullied (I was in 5th grade) and she told me it was just the guys personality and sent me back to class 😂😤

My current health teacher was talking about bullying, I go to a catholic school and there were like things on a sheet where it was different types of bullying : physical,sexual, verbal, emotional etc. she then was like, “one thing that is here but should be is homophobia.” She was like, “are there any LGBTQ+ members in this class?” I was the only one that raised my hand

You make me feel like you're part of my family and that makes me feel so happy like it's so hard for me especially as an Arab girl (which means everyone is homophobic) to come out to my family but I've been trying to throw out hints here and there to my parents so they maybe might notice that I'm bi without me coming out to them cause I'm so scared to do so😞😣❤️

first of all, NATASHA LYONNE SUPREMACY 😭✋🏼 ya'll are literally my fav people and the fact ur ALSO obsessed like TASTE>>> and second, KEARA YOU INSPIRE US. you are the reason i've gotten through every day and the person who led me to finding my gf! (our fan accs and being apart of this fandom that accepts everyone and then all of us looking up to YOU) like thank you once again for every single word you say in your videos and the content you give us outside of it! YOU'RE AMAZING BESTIE ILY ENDLESSLY!! ♥️

My friend and I (both female) used to do the thing where we'd "examine" each other when we were like 8. Now I'm bi and genderfluid. :)

when i came out, my parents pulled me out of school, took my phone away, and started limiting what kind of clothes i could buy/wear. #brocken

My dose of serotonin is finally here

we used to hold up a towel or a big piece of clothing like a big puffy jacket for eachother with my best friend in the changing rooms bc there were only two stalls with functioning locks... and they were occupied by other now-out queers... aaah weird times.

I'm so thankful for you being open about your spirituality - I still identify as a Christian and seeing the increase of queer people of faith (and/or spirituality etc, whichever related but distinct word works for you) representation. I've found that being both is very hard, because I'm excluded from both spaces if I'm open. Anyways, thank you 💜

Sometimes i am really glad i live in Belgium, saying anything homophobic or racist or whatever is illegal( at least if you say it to a gay person,…) and even in a catholic school if a teacher say anything homophobic they would get fired

Our girl Keara just SLAYIN this hairstyle! I love you x

I have an incident, but with my English Literature professor.. I have always been happy because of her intellectual openness and acceptance of difference, unlike what prevails in our Arab society.. But in one of the lectures, one of the students asked about queer studies and gender studies, which are the only theories that we did not study! She started by telling the student that this is genetic deviation and that it is contrary to religion, even though she herself disagrees with many of the prevailing religious opinions, especially with regard to women.. which made me argue with her from a scientific point of view, and that it is no longer considered a disease, neither from a genetic nor psychological point of view.. She started giving justifications and trivial and ordinary arguments that made me shocked by this contradiction in her personality and way of thinking.. Anyway, because I had been in love with her since my undergraduate days (I am currently a master's student), I felt annoyed after this incident and started crying... Fortunately, the lecture was online, but from then, I became cold in my feelings for her...

At the summer camp that I go to, there are cabins for guys, girls and nonbinary people an it is based on how you identify so a trans guy can sleep in the guys cabin or a trans girl could sleep in the girls cabin

drunkenly screaming I'm gay in church, during sermon. incredible!

Honestly sometimes I forget people unironically think/say ‘I didn’t know gay people actually existed’. Me and my queer friend group say this to each kinda thing to each other so much that it feels so weird to hear it seriously

OMG YAYYYY!!! MADE MY DAY ILY KEARA AND YOUR VIDEOS!!!

Love You Keara!!

Thank you for sharing these videos with us Keara ❤️🏳️‍🌈

I feel so safe when I watch your videos, thank you ❤️

The energy in this video is immaculate

omg i love your new haircut!!!!! a couple of days ago i went to my sister’s to dye my hair pink but we only had time to do the bleach (she took her time and did it well) and it was both of our first times. then i had to go to school with mediocre bleached hair and people were so annoying about it. BUT i’m very happy because we’re going to be adding the pink tmr!! my hair is cut right to like the middle of my neck and i love it, but every time i keep on getting it cut shorter and shorter, and always wondered what it would look like cut at your length, and now i can see and and safe to say that i’m cutting my hair just like yours the next time i go

why do i end up in tears after every video bc I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

Omg I needed this video today! I was having a bad day and this COMPLETELY turned it around.

I was watching a tv show with my mom that had a few queer characters in it, and i ended up jokingly saying “its not like im a lesbian”. Got treated to a 40 minute rant about how wrong it is to joke about that.

So a positive story I’m moving states something I REALLY didn’t want to do (and there is a whole mess about that too haha) I’m going into my finals years of hs. A lot of people told me that the casual homophobia, transphobia, racism etc is worst in where I am going so I was really on edge about it because I didn’t even want to move there and was only told when my mum found the house already. My mum found a Catholic school that I didn’t want to go to, I have been to A non religious school for half my life and then 2 yrs of Adventist and 2 years of Christian schools both were homophobic and half lied saying “oh it’s because there’s no art or acting classes and that what I want to focus on” My mum hates doing a lot of things for me and often backs herself up saying she works and cleans the house and sacrificed her happiness for me so I should be happy and grateful for her, not selfish. But that aside she doesn’t like doing things for me so I often try and do them myself to avoid arguments. I started looking for schools which was very upsetting to do so but I eventually found one with lots of art and drama which got me very excited. I showed my mum and she didn’t love it but I knew she wasn’t going to look for a new one so we looked around a bit more. Then I filled in the application form (she was meant to fill it out cause I’m not an independent student but oh well) and to my surprise it was so inclusive For gender it had M, F, NB, prefer not to say and other (please specify) I HAD to pick female cause I knew my mother would see the form but it was nice to know it was there. It also had instead Relationship to student of Mother and Father meaning I did not have to put my father down or call the school and explain my situation to them and it makes it easier for same sex parents as they just have to put mother and mother etc. It also had independent student fill out form and mental health checks. Ig the only negative part of this story is I almost got disowned for being up front about my mental health and having to sign in independently and my mum causing me to have about 5 mental breakdowns and 3 panic attacks the next day. But my mum ended up signing in after I got rid of my mental health issues on the form which is annoying but I’ll see if I can talk to a guidance councillor or something.

You have been one of the main youtubers I've watched over the years that helped me feel less alone ❤ my journey to accepting myself was long and hard but I'm feeling so free and happy now ❤ love you keara!

You're glowing in this video! I hope you feel the same internally! Much appreciation to you! Xx

Hi Keara I love your videos so much! Thank you for all you do 💛

Funny story my cousin (bro) and I used to change clothes together when we were like 2 or 3 when our parents used to do it for us and I remember asking my mum if I would grow what my bro had (p***s) when I grew up like him😂😂

I just want to say that you are so so pretty, and your videos are very comforting and entertaining, lots of love

I enjoyed this video a lot as usual with you again and loved and agreed with all your advice and tips. Thank you so much again and just love these videos a lot and love you so much.

i was in a theology class last semester and the teacher was talking about how gay marriage isnt right and all, and he knows that im gay cuz i have those pride converse but anyway, i wasnt contributing discussion when he was talking about marriage being between a man and woman, and he was like “summer, i know you don’t believe in this, so tell us what you have to say” yes i dont believe in straight marriage, ew

you're amazing Keara

thanks for the hug that wa what I needed today. love your channel and thanks for your videos

As a queer kid who goes to a Catholic School, I'm so thankful you made this video!!

these confessions are extra juicy! thanks for the video keara

Just saying that the ”one flesh union” hand movement feels a lot like a version of the scissoring hand movement lmao

Love your videos!!!!! Always soo amazing and on point with being proud of yourself. Thanks so much for doing these videos. Xx

oh my gosh! they banned having more than one rainbow loom bracelet at my catholic elementary school because it looked "unprofessional"

i just discovered your videos today and i’m so glad i did😭 you have such a refreshing personality! and i’m glad i’m not the only queer person that believes in god but not traditionally 🙏🤧 thank you for making me feel like there’s a place for me🤍🤍🤍

How are you so beautiful. It's not fair. I am loving every second of this hair cut, and your makeup is everything. You are so entertaining. I wish the best for you!!!!

Keara, I love your videos every time I watch them they make !y day thank you P.S I love you hair very cute❤

This video is everything I wanted this video to be.😌

I really like your vibe, and how you experience and view spirituality and God 👌🏻 sending good vibes ❤️

THEY ARE SO CUTE :D They also look like a very nice person^^

your hair looks amazinggggg

i love your videos so much and i also have a story i want to share. this year in our final term of school we had an assignment to write a 5 paragraph or more speech on a topic we want to change, as a closeted queer i obviously did my speech on the lgbt issues in the world and how people can be more accepting. when i told my mother i had to sit down to explain to her gender and sexualities, stuff like that. we were in the middle of the conversation i brought up the topic of transgender my mother was all like, “oh, thats a huge decision to make and i don’t think people your age should know by now.” (im afab but i use he/they pronouns) that was also the day i was going to come out as trans to her but when she said that my confidence fizzled out and i never came out to her.

I literally love you! Also first!

Keara you are fabulous, ive only just started watching your videos but i cant believe how much i agree with literally everything that you say

Kearaaaa

Yes! Someone else who was smooshing faces at catholic school! I used to do that as well with a beautiful gal I adored for a long time, but we couldn’t be together thanks to her family. But I also realised I loved women, since they always gave me the adorable butterflies which still happens. I fell in love and dated my best friend, but we ‘had to’ have boyfriends so it took me years until I had a girlfriend who said ‘You don’t have to date men, you can date a woman publicly’. That actually blew my damn mind, yay internalised homophobia….

Anti bullying/mental illness ads: tell somebody you trust Me with my trust issues: haha…no,

Love this video, love your reactions! I definitely see so many 'religious' people using the Bible to justify their own biases without taking into consideration anything else (including other things the Bible says!). I always point out that the Bible says in multiple places things like 'love thy neighbor' and 'don't judge others' but people often conveniently ignore those parts. I like that you mentioned the 'created in his own image' thing, I've always believed that if God created me that means he created the person I am, including my sexuality.

Love your style, and energy

WAIT OTHER PEOPLE DID THE DOCTOR EXAMINE THING ? I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE AJDJD

"Don't worry, I went through the same phase." "Huh..." "What's wrong?" "Nothing. I just realized how I've been going through a phase of thinking you were a likable person." "Now that's not very nice!" "Neither is you invalidating my experience based on me being young. Even if this was a phase, silencing it won't help me actually grow from or out of it, and if it's not you're actively telling me that who I am is wrong. So yeah, that is not very likable."

You are so sweet and wholesome, love the video

I haven't watched many of your videos but you feel so much like you would be a great therapist or something like that!

OMG YOU CUT YOUR HAIR IT LOOKS SO COOL AND SWAG
