That video was so well done, like there's no words for how smart, clear, and effective it is. He clearly put so much thought into it and the whole vibe was so calm

That video was so much. I feel so many things. Mostly a lot of love for Dan.
Okay. This was great and not just for the obvious reasons. There is so much to unpack here and I'm not ready to do that now but I wanna say I'm genuinely sorry I doubted he would upload again, I understand now why he didn't and I'm actually so proud of him right now for adressing all of that and being so open and raw. That must've taken some guts and I really, truly admire him for this video. That's all for now. Happy Pride, guys.
What a video, so well done and thought out. So proud of Dan to have gone passed all the shit he went though to finally be here, queer, and looking fabulous in a sequinned jacket.
Just throwing it out there, sounds like he's single if he's wanting cute mutuals to slide into his dm's

That video is the best thing he's ever made, and I am so unbelievably proud of him for making it. The video was brave and honest and is going to help so many people who watch it. Well done, Dan!

I noticed that too, the chapter breakdown in particular. I couldn't help but wonder if Dan and Phil are going for a polar opposite vibe this year. What with Phil sat in front of his white wall and Dan filming in what looks like a black box.nigel ratburn wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 8:04 pm i'm literally sobbing in my bed i am so full of pride for him (also the PRODUCTION VALUE i spy some heavy natalie wynn inspiration daniel)

Wow. What an emotional journey... and delivered via a 45min waffle no less! I was so nervous that he was going to backtrack something, especially when he got to chapter 4: labels... but he didn’t, he waffled on all the things I thought he might say on society and labels, but he said the words and embraced it.
I am most shocked that he only just came out to his family... I really did not expect this, and I have a whole different view now for “how long” it took to come out to his audience.
So very very proud. I’m only left with a couple questions... has he been out for a while to Phil’s family (I’d think so), and I’m trying not to over think it but why did he say “cute mutuals know to slide into his DMs”... was he only referring to his romantic relationship with Phil in the past tense? *ugh, shut up brain! Just enjoy the moment!*

From the description of the video:
Disclaimer - This video is just a starting point for me, what I felt was the bare minimum (ha) required for me to get this out there so I can move forward with my life, a mix of explanation, justification and opinion. It scratched the surface of several things I could have gone into more detail about, but the purpose of this was to be ..reasonably concise and above all entertaining. In the future, in the right places, I will surely talk much more about everything touched on in this video and more. It’s also likely that something will get misunderstood or misrepresented, perhaps from the way I phrased things or people assuming my thoughts on things that I didn’t specify. Also my story is just the truth of what happened to me and what I thought at certain points of time in my environment, good and bad - of course not my opinions today. So JUST to be clear my opinion on general sexual and gender identities are that everyone is valid and deserves equal rights and the freedom to exist. The only thing I don’t tolerate is intolerance. Cheers to an inevitable bright future, either because people become nice and the old people die or the sun explodes first lmao.

The most important thing to remember is that this is Dan's video and his coming out.
Everyone I've seen has dealt with this very maturely but I don't want this to turn into PHAN IS REAL YAY!!! And then people go too hard on all their posts because they feel like it is valid now.
Dan has made is so so clear he wants his romantic life (with or without Phil, past, future, present) to remain private and respected. But again, all posts I've seen everywhere have been respectful so I'm hoping this won't be a large issue

That was so good! I’m so happy for him but so surprised, I really wasn’t expecting anything like that! Decidedly made me tear up
