A mom telling her trans son not to get a woman pregnant is the kind of wholesome I didn't know I needed, but strangely adore.

That last one was wonderful. A mom who was so accepting of her child's transition that she literally just forgot? Kinda rocks. If the 84-year-old lady saying "my wife" doesn't get you, you just have no heart.

I’m so happy to see Aphobia be called out and we should work on calling out ourselves too. You can have fulfilling relationships in any form.

When I came out as ace to my partner, I explained everything I was feeling, and they reacted by saying "oh cool! We NEVER have to have sex! Good!" And then paused, eyes wide, and went, "I think I'm ace too."

The asexual one hit really close to home. When I told an acquaintance that I'm AroAce, the first thing he told me was that I just haven't found the right person yet , and the second was that if I continue saying that, nobody will want to date me. I don't think he understands that that's perfectly fine with me lol.

When I was a college student in the late 1970's, I was ostracized for being in a lesbian relationship. I was called into the office and asked to leave the school. I did. Times are different now, though it can be difficult to be queer, there have been big strides. I was so pleased to see the students with the rainbow flags. How times have changed! 🌈❤

I remember when a bisexual woman (at my old job) demanded to know if I was queer. I was strongarmed into saying I was asexual and without pause she started talking about wanting dick. Luckily, I'm not sex replused. Also, at the same job, a gay man point blanked asked if I was a lesbian and once again, I told him and his response was "Is there something wrong with you?" So, uh, yeah, that asexual tiktok spoke to me soooo much. Edit: Just an edit (because people asked) yes, I am out of that job now! I was made redundant and left with a decent redundancy so I won in the end! :D I have a different job, and I was asked and didn't say, but the woman who did ask, I knew she had vibes from me, and she started speaking about her gay son. But no one there knows, but I know they know I am Queer because I've spoken about a few women that I, in my own personal asexual way, find attractive. (she/her here.. i think but that is a whole different story)

The one where the 80yo woman talks about her wife almost brought me to tears 😭 so beautiful 💖🏳️‍🌈

As an ace spec person with a bi partner we absolutely have a wholesome romantic relationship. I honestly don't think I could be with someone so perfect ❤️

I’m 57 years old, and I grew up with two ladies living in our road. Everyone has always known them as The Girls, and fully accepting them as a couple. My mum used to be a legal secretary and she was the one who suggested to them back in the 1980’s that they get married in a civil partnership, if only to protect their home and assets from the family if something should happen to one of them. I have literally grown up not giving an iota what sexual orientation people lean toward. It’s their business and as long as they are happy, that’s all that matters. We are all human after all.💞🇬🇧

"WELL BARBARA CLEARLY THEY DO" this is the energy i'm striving toward from now on

Jamie mentioning he wasn't born yet when the bi manifesto came out made me look up his age. He's only a year younger than my older brother. No wonder he gives me supportive big brother vibes! Before I started watching his videos, I was scared about being aroace and now I'm a proud part of the aroace community. I even found the courage to explore my gender identity thanks to Jamie showing me it's okay to not be cis and now I'm comfortable identifying as agender

omg the lady who was able to say her wife for the first time in a telephone call 😭😭😭 in her lifetime she might have gone from not able to have a solo bank account as a woman at all, to being able to acknowledge her wife to the bank during normal conduction of business 💗

the bisexual is so important to me, as a bisexual i have often found it so hard to explain to people that is not just men and women. i usually say that i can fall in love with basically anyone, its true and some people thinks that is weird and then they leave me alone so its a double win in my book

Loved ❤️ the 85 year woman who had to share her happiness by calling her partner her wife. I finally figured out that I am ace when I was 66.💜 The times now are so much more open to us as older people.🏳️‍🌈

The reaction to my asexuality that sticks with me the most is the guy who assumed I was automatically much more genuine and focused in my various pursuits, because not wanting to have sex meant I was only doing stuff for my own sake and not to impress anyone. Which There is a whole lot to unpack there

the old woman tiktok reminded me of when i saw two elder gays being cutely together in the old town i lived in time ago during pride month, both having rainbow and looking on some pamflets about LGBT+ events they were doing around. It was so sweet and i felt so happy for them, because they could be gay in public,when they were kids were forced to be sth they weren't,as how they prob were under the spanish dictatorship,and gayness was banned... :( My neighbor is also gay, he is a gay elder man as well. But he lost his couple some yrs ago already. They were together for like... 40 yrs. My uncle told me because when he lived here,he talked sometimes and visited that old man

The 85 yo "my wife" one did make me cry. My dad passed at 70 last month and he was bi and demi but never had the words for it until I showed him what the internet is like two years ago. Just... Damn.

"Does Melissa Etheridge want us to wait by the light of the moon because she doesn't own lamps?" I *shrieked* laughing.

The one with the graduation the guy accepting the flags seemed genuinely happy about getting them. He smiled warmly about the little wave of the flag as well. The one lady in the background however was eating sour grapes.

Riding bareback (on a horse, don't derail this pls) has always been possible. Its not as common, but a lot of people still do it. It's also painful, but really cool. Yes, she has to have a pretty good grip on the flag and the horse to be able to do that.

The woman using "my wife" for the 1st time had me in tears; so beautiful!

I told a guy that I was demisexual once and he said we'd stay friends and never spoke to me again and is now terrified of running into me in public 😂 I kind of enjoy the power to have grown ass men see me and just... run.

5:11 Saw this a bit ago. So sweet! Had to pause to stop tearing up. Beautiful! 🥹♥️☮️🏳️‍🌈

Aha, as an asexual myself, I had someone who was trying to ask me out react to that information by asking if I'd been traumatized. Straight up. I barely knew this man. He followed it up with "What about your maternal instincts? How will you have kids?" I don't know, something about "I'm asexual" seems to make people feel entitled to ask awkward personal questions in the same way that "I'm trans" makes people feel entitled to ask about what's in your pants. On a lighter note, hard agree on how wholesome it is to see older queers expressing so much relief and joy to be able to just live their honest lives in public. They walked a long and hard road that paved the way for our generation to run.

Thank you for your shout to us older queer people…I always thought I was bi. Thanks to all the information available here on YT (and specifically thanks to YOU and OT) I now know that what I’ve always been is pan. I’m a grandmother now and my kids and grandkids represent several of the letters in our 🌈 rainbow with all my love and support. I’m so grateful for your content. Helping to create the world we want to live in.

As an asexual woman in her 70's, I can totally relate to the lovely woman in her 80's, who just made an assertion of her marital status. Speaking for my (Boomer) generation - we didn't have (positive) words for many of the sexual orientations or basic information when we were younger. I didn't know that there was a designation for my total lack of sexual interest until a few years ago, about the same time I understood that I have dyscalculia, which is related to dyslexia, but involves only numerals. There's lots to catch up on, and a lot of validating info on the internet - I'm just so glad I live in a time & place where I can do some exploring, and put names to some of the aspects of my personality and brain function.

My mom absolutely would say “you’re too pretty.” I’ve basically been telling her my whole life before I even knew what asexuality was that I wasn’t interested in relationships like that and she’d say exactly that. Because ya know… I exist for sex appeal🥴

The lesbian penguins reminded me of a new fact I learnt recently... they tried to start a captivity breeding program for Whio (a native New Zealand duck) in the UK and it failed because the two male ducks they had ended up in a relationship with each other!! It's kind of become my favourite fact 😍😍

In high school any time I said I was ace (this was over 11 years ago btw) a boy would insist I wasn't and that I didn't know what asexual meant, but was perfectly fine with my other friends going from straight(thought they were) to lesbian (realized they were) or straight to bi. Like being ace was impossible, especially because I hadn't had physical relationships or a recent "boyfriend" as I only had one, 1 week relationship in middle school because I thought I had too and when the kid forced me to kiss him I literally wiped off my mouth walked away and spat on the ground a few time, (it was unwanted, gross and I just didn't like it.) I'm still ace and I still don't like mouth to mouth affection. Cuddling with croissants however, is good.

4:33 fun fact, penguins having same sex couples is actually decently common, they raise the eggs that no other penguins care for.

Hi Jamie, trans guy love as always! I look up to you so much! I hope to be like you one day! 💙💙💙💙🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ I feel dysphoric for no reason and this made me happy! Thank you!

you are really lucky to have come this far as a trans guy.I feel very happy and grateful to you I'm planning on coming out in 5 years (yep very shortly) cus that's the safest for my existence hope everything goes well

5:04 Bless her! That was so lovely! It brought tears to my eyes and I'm happy for her! It's so sad when anybody feels they need to live a long life hiding who they really are!

7:59 Now we'll need a vid going over the bisexual manifesto, please and thank you 😊

"But you're so pretty!" Yep. Throughout my 20's I was told I was too pretty to be single. (I'm old, so this was before the word aromantic had entered the lexicon, but I definitely knew that being single was the life for me. It was just a lot harder to explain without the right vocabulary.) People also told my sister she was too pretty to be lesbian. Because if you look a way that cis-het men find attractive, then obviously you should be dating them. The thought process is that all women are really attracted to men because men are so awesome, so if a woman is dating another woman, or dating no one at all, it can only be because she can't get a man. The idea that some of us just don't want to is inconceivable in this kind of mindset. One time some guy (who was probably old enough to be my dad, just for an extra layer of gross) asked me why I wasn't dating anyone and I said, "Because I don't want to." He responded with the classic, "But you're too pretty to be single." I was in the mood to challenge it, so I asked him, "What does how I look have to do with what I want?" And he literally said, "It's about what men want." I was at work, so I figured I couldn't get away with pushing him much more than that, so I just gave him a look and walked away. I always hoped he might have thought about it afterwards and maybe come to some better conclusions, but I doubt it.

The 84 year old who said "my wife" grew up in SUCH a different time. That's the pre-boomer Silent Generation. My eyes welled up too!

5:58 It's okay, you can cry if you need to

yea, we give off “the vibes” i figured i’m ace and people have said “ you sound like an asexual” or “what are you? an asexual?” i also have explicitly said i’m ace after both of these and they still don’t suspect a thing somehow. it is magical and sometimes i feel like i am the only person i know with the common sense to connect the dots, like how they act, who and how they act around people, and then explicitly tell me their sexuality.

The catholic school board in my area is pretty anti LGBT so our city put a rainbow crosswalk right outside their office 😆😆😆 something like 95% of people in a poll were in favour of this crosswalk

I don't know why, but I lost it at your astonishment that the eye makeup was done on both eyes, and then the realization that of COURSE they did both eyes 😂😂😂

I recently came out to my mum as AroAce and at first she did say that i just haven't met the right person yet (no :) ), but after I pulled up an article online explaining it, she turned to me and with tears in her eyes asked "So I'll never see you in a wedding dress :(?" She's supportive tho hahaha

Hi Jamie, I really needed this today. I just came out to my grandma a couple hours ago, and it wasn't good, but it wasn't bad, per se. She accepted my name change, but she didn't acknowledge my sexuality. All in all, I really needed some wholesome gayness today. ❤️

The first TikTok could backfire. Some communities will get everyone involved to cure you. ALTHOUGH it’s nice to see Mormon Salesmen be repelled.

3:44 Anyone else her ancient enough to be hearing the horse level music from Shinobi 3 in their head? Someone needs to loop that clip of the girl with that song from the game for, like, ten minutes at least.

How's the marriage going? Congrats on the wedding!

5:17 Reminds me of how I've only very recently been able to say I love myself since coming out as trans at 33

Irrespective of witty comments, your Intro is always reassuring.

That 84yo lady was so precious, especially the end where she's like "Guess what I'm going to be doing it again" ♥

2:23 I came out in the 1990s, and my generation just expected hostility from The Straights when we came out. We just expected them to hate us or act bigoted towards us as a reflex - because that's usually what happened to us back in the 1990s. We LGBT-folk just treated it as a basic fact of nature: The sky is blue; Water is wet; Heteros are going to treat us as not fully human and react with hostility towards us.

I have seen the one with the lady saying "my wife" the first time a couple of times and DAMN!! Every time gives me happy shivers and watery eyes!

5:35 oh no, that video... Always makes me feel things T.T

I literally went, "oh not again" when the my-wife tiktok came on. This is the 3rd time I've watched it and it still makes me want to cry

6:18 I would throw a pie in everyone’s face but handing a flag is a good solution too.

The bisexual makeup video was mine! 🥰 thank you for featuring me

I’ve already seen a lot of these Tik Toks, but I love seeing your reaction as well as the new ones! Please keep these coming!!

Flag bearing is a very important job in many horse events, and indeed I do hear it's really hard.

hey jamie! today i just got my first binder and i'm really excited about it!!! thank you for uploading!!

jamie, you make all of us feel so much better. i love it when i see that you posted! thanks for making these great videos!

The woman talking to the bank made me tear up. We must encourage our elder queers to be as visible as possible (even when they're not dressed as super heroes, I love those guys). Also, please read the bisexual manifesto and do a video about it! I wish I'd kept my copies of Anything That Moves. It was a great magazine. I even tried to volunteer for them but could not get my act together. In every issue I had there were multiple full page ads for Ani DiFranco. I think she kept that magazine afloat.

I needed this today I wasn't feeling the best about myself today and this made me feel more confident so thank you

Regarding the penguin one, there's actually a zoo where two gay penguins stole an egg from two lesbian penguins bc they wanted in on it (Next year the zookeepers gave both pairs eggs)

Always enjoy your videos!! I loved the eye makeup one… that was so well done, I had seen the woman mentioning her wife for the first time… that got me all teary

3:20 one that isnt on here that i hear somewhat: "lets just wait 30 years and see that you found someone anyway" or "you cant know that yet"

There wasn't a lot I liked about high school, but one thing I did appreciate was the district-wide dedication to LGBTQ+ rights. They were required by the district to have signs posted outside every classroom saying "This is a safe space for LGBTQ individuals." Individual teachers or students might be homophobic jerks, but the school district policy was very supportive. And this was from 2000-2004 that I attended high school.

The school at 6:30 is Seattle Pacific University (for those who can't quite read it), and while *he* might not be homophobic himself, the school (a Christian university) has a policy prohibiting LGBTQ+ faculty from holding positions (or maybe just full-time positions) at the school. Washington State Attorney General Robert Ferguson has sued the university over their homophobic policies, and the university countersued over the same.

Grandma being so proud of saying "my wife" is the most wholesome thing EVER!! We should all go find her & give her so much love!!! 💜

No joke, in the run up to the most recent local election, two Tories were going door to door in my street. They saw our pride flag bunting in the window and didn't even knock. I'm not sure whether to be glad to have escaped or very, very worried.

I always look forward to ur next uploads and I’m never disappointed 😊

The one about telling the bank person about her wife had me sobbing

Duogamy is such a great word! Also glad to learn about the Bisexual Manifesto

So excited to see a new videos out every time you post ❤

I thought I was prepared for the older woman talking about her wife, as I already saw it in OT's video. NOPE! Still cried like the big softie I am 😭

the 84 year old saying my wife ♥️♥️♥️♥️🥲🥲 even having seeing it already on OT that still almost made me cry 💓

Having a notification from new jammi's videos brightens my day 💕

4:41 i saw on pinterest a post where there was written "my sister is lesbian and I'm gay, but our parents are anti-gay. So I "date" her gf and she "dates" my bf. When they sleep over they sleep in the opposite rooms. Joke's on my parent."

I cried too! So proud of her for being Linda's wife!

That horseback rider didn't even use the little flagpole holder things I see rodeo queens using. That's some serious upper body strength!

Had a rather bad experience on the train home yesterday so this is a lovely cheer up thanks jamie !

Ok I cried, I laughed and I am just smiling rn. Can't tell if it's from the crazy amount of hormonal changes in the last month or this video but Jammi my dude you gave me the feels on this rainy Sunday afternoon

I'm a trans girl and my girlfriend is asexual, so it was really surprising to me that she was worried I'd be upset that she's ace because I didn't know how much shit they get even in the community. I think it's heartbreaking and I want nothing but happiness for my LGBTQIA+ brothers, sisters, siblings and any term between and around. Thank you for showing support to every kind of person who exists under the banner of pride!

The gayest place in town sounds fun!

first of all, that woman looks quite well for 84 (its been 84 years!!!!) also its so sweet when people finally get to marry their partner :')

I love these ones ❤️ had a dysphoria panic attack and this is What i need rn

As an asexual aromantic demigirl I totally laughed at the asexuality one because I’ve definitely been told more than once that I just haven’t met the right person yet but the jokes totally on them because as an aromantic person I don’t really care if I ever do 😂😂😂!

Nothing beats making it to a Jammidodger video right when it’s uploaded

Had a rough day & this was the first thing to make me smile, & the sun happened to come out during the video as well. So now I'm chilling w my plants & my cat & letting myself breathe. Thanks Jamie

after telling someone I was an ace they said “oh so you reproduce by splitting in half?” and I’m 99% sure they were joking

I looove that clarification of bisexuality! That's really helpful

The Old Gays are iconic. You should react to Elder Lesbians too.

4:00 when Jamie said “is that how you came out” I completely forgot about closets and thought he was insinuating that this person was BORN riding a horse and holding a rainbow flag 😂

Ohh the "my wife" one made me tear up!! So wonderful! Congrats to that person! 💜

5:10 I saw this on One Topic’s Channel. It was just so beautiful ❤

Gay birds absolutely do exist. We had a mated pair of male cardinals a few years back

I want to say thank you. All my life I thought I was broken. Turns out, I am just grey Ace. I found out while whatching your Ace meme videos, later on I did some research on my own. Today I finally had the courage to tell my partner. We had a long conversation. He is okay with it. We are similar in that regard. I hoped so, but for the longest time I was so scared he might secretly be bothered by the rarety of... well, not eating cake. We are planning on whatching some Ace related videos some time in the future. We were too tired today, we are moving cities. Thank you a bunch! You really helped me feel more comfortable in my own skin. It is still new, so I and we still have to learn a lot. But we have a starting point. Excuse my english. I would rather fight my phone than "teach" it English... it is not my first language, and my Phone *knows* that ^^

Jamie is back with wholesome content!

The 84-year-old woman ♥️👏🥰🏳️‍🌈 And the students ... And the Vice-Chancellor for graciously taking the flags. I hope it made the difference 👏🏳️‍🌈

Thanks Jamie I've been going through a heavy depressive episode lately and this was the first one of your videos I've watched for a while and it's helped cheer me up a little bit. Very nice stuff 🏳‍🌈💙

At 5:57 that woman calling her wife her wife for the first time. I literally cried. So beautiful.

6:05 I have seen this before it is soo sweet that she could finally say it.
