Now, as some of you probably will know, this month is Pride Month. And for that reason, last night, I went on to ask slash ask Reddit, and I wrote myself a question of my own. You can see it in the title, you can see it on screen right now. Gay people have read it, I asked, what was the best or worst reaction you received to coming out. Now pretty astonishingly guys in just a number of hours

there were hundreds of responses, and I'm going to be giving you the best in this video. So, yeah, for those of you that are a part of the LGBT Plus community, I hope you enjoy this one. For those of you like me that are not, we're probably going to learn something. And for everyone that perhaps didn't get a chance to comment on the Reddit post itself, please leave your answers to the question in the comments to me to go through after this video.

husband's name now my uncle had made a beautiful

1:29.1

effort to get to know me as my father got sick and deteriorated. He asked after my family, my kids,

1:35.7

my mum. When he made reference to my marriage, I let him make assumptions about gender just to

1:40.7

avoid complications. But everything crystallised in that moment over the obit.

1:45.4

My uncle said,

1:46.5

What's your husband's name?

1:48.1

I replied, Stephanie.

1:50.6

The pastor didn't miss a beat.
