Heroes In Plain Clothes

17 June, 2012 - 2:05am — Sam2000

I've been following him on YouTube for a while, and when I saw this one it made me cry. While he doesn't know I even exist, he's a hero to me in lots of way. I relate well to him and he makes me feel better about being gay.

Please watch this video:

This is his main page:

If the stars were aligned right he'd write a journal here.

We could use his voice on here...no I take that back.

We NEED him here.

i felt the same away about InspiredCreativity on dA

he helped me through some difficult times, he is a good man, and he is dying too, his body is slowly failing and he spends this time helping people too

Why doesn't he know you exist? Say hi.

Well....

I'm not allowed to have a YouTube account or use e-mail. I can't say why publicly but it wasn't something I did, I promise.

i think i know what you did

but if you don't have email, how did you get on This site?

Well...

Oasis doesn't restrict users under 13, we just do certain things not no outbound e-mail contact, etc., so that everyone can join. Usually, a restriction like that, if one were trying to make money on a website, makes it not attractive to let people under 13 (or at least makes them all lie and say they are 13+) join.

i know about the lying part

What an inspiring 16-year-old!

I have dedicated much too little time watching the massive number of "It Gets Better" videos on YouTube... but these by "gitredwing" have totally turned me around!

I encourage all Oasies not to miss these posts (almost weekly)... they fill me with so much hope and pride... I'm more than confident that they'll do the same for you!

I'd recommend starting here:

What a great extemporaneous speaker!

PLEASE!

Thanks for the positive replies here, it means a lot to me!

well...

I liked that kid before I ever watched any of his videos, just by the autographed wings jersey behind him. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the red wings.

and yeah, he is inspiring...

umm, why don't you just lie about your age like everyone else on youtube and or facebook? I am sure you can find a way around whatever it is that you did.

=D

Hey, someone sent me a link to this and I can't blush enough lol. I'm so glad that you feel better about being gay because of me. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being gay and there is nothing wrong with you. If you ever want to talk to me, you can email thehatestopsnow@hotmail.com =D. ~Alex

FYI...

Hey Sam, since I am able to post on YouTube, I gave Alex this link. I can confirm that this was posted by him, as he also told me on YouTube that he replied here. So, that part where he doesn't know you exist? Consider that part to no longer be true.

To Alex and Jeff :-)) A gazillion thanks!!!!

OMG...I can't believe this is happening!!!!! Wow...wow o wow...if you could see me right now you'd see how hard I'm crying for happiness for a change :-))

I can't talk about why I'm not allowed to use e-mail or have a youtube account, it's nothing I did though, it's just something bad (not illegal) that happened that has to be kept private. I swear I didn't do anything wrong. My Grandma has told me that my personal safety comes before anything else, and she makes the rules. Being anonymous for now is the only way I can be on here.

I don't know how to thank both of you enough, but I guess by continuing to write on here and hopefully being a positive influence I can do as much good for us as possible. By us I mean the world.

Thanks :-))

Alex's reply...

Since Alex isn't regularly checking on here, I sent him your reply above on YouTube, and this is his reply:

"I believe you, I don't think anyone your age could get kicked off of youtube so I'm sure that she is just protecting you from bullies. I hope you know that Jeff and I are only a small fraction of the people who would support you if they knew you. Also I just want to make sure you know that I won't mention you in a video, just so you don't have to worry. ~Alex"
