My name is Kevin Bono. I'm 19 years old and live in Fresno, California. I decided to make this video to hopefully help out at least that one person that is debating on coming out or not. Hopefully this video helps you out. Love you all! #itgetsbetter

Awesome job - your parents raised a good stand-up guy with strong values. I am sure your parents are very proud of the man you have become.

Thank you for your story. If this vid were around when I was 13, I would have been able to accept myself and come out ( I'm 57 now). You have given a lot of young lads a positive way to come out. I grew up JW, and my parents were not accepting as parents today. If I had a video as you have given, I might have had a better coming out experience. I am happy with my life. Thank god people like yourself for being honest

Awesome story Dude. I didn't come out til I was 23yo. It was hard as hell to do, but its been a lot better ever since.

I've already come out and it was a great experience for me, but I still live to watch coming out videos. I don't know why I just think they are fun and interesting.

Even though the many of the stories are similar, each person who tells one of these stories has a unique element. I think that, that is one of the best things with having so many of these videos. People can seek out ones with to which they can relate the most. This one is on my "Coming Out As Gay" YouTube Playlist. Kudos to your family for the manner in which they reacted to you!

You will inspire hundreds of young people to be brave and to be themselves. You are a great roll model.

Yes my mom didnt care that i was gay but she did say she was scared that my life would be harder. Its understandable.

I can’t find a coming out story that isn’t years old. Okay, very, very few. We need to continue making these. And it would be great to have people like this video pop out to be on a where are they now video. We have to shake up the establishment, aka, the Conservatives. The GOP, the Republicans.
