Colton sale del clóset

Certainly wasn't expecting a lesson in my own self by by watching his story. He's made some monumental mistakes and you can easily say he doesn't deserve this platform, however, there's an amount of sympathy that I can lend to his situation having gone through similar in my own journey (not to that extent!) This is a show that I can imagine helping people in their own path especially people torn with religion and being who they were born to be.

I must admit this caught my surprise, I have never seen an episode of the Bachelor in my life but knew that Colton had just got his gay membership since the gay media covered it a lot.

So here I was, not expecting much but then it hit me, being gay and Christian don't digest well for some people but we are real and we are real to stay.

Colton's dad was a sweetheart and so understanding of the whole thing...it's truly heartwarming.

Can't stand Guz to this day and he adds nothing to the whole show.

I did not only sincerely enjoyed this show but highly recommend it to anyone.

Yes, hes a cis white priveleged male, yes I initially felt like it was a PR grab when I first heard it was going to be produced and released, but really, I enjoyed watching this doc and learning about the lifelong struggle Colton dealt with. While he did monetize his journey, i think he genuinely wanted to shed light on the homophobia in American sports and his Chrisitian upbringing and truly wanted to have a positive impact sharing his story. The past hurts upon Cassie cannot be undone, and legally, from what I understand, cannot be fully discussed. I think it took a lot of courage regardless and I think this doc has its place.

Simply the best coming out show I've seen. And truth is stranger than fiction, and more entertaining.

Throughly enjoyed this learning experience and I'm very proud to live in the same state as Colton. This took a lot of courage and it couldn't have come from a nicer guy.

I watched Colton when he was "The Virgin Bachelor" on The Bachelorette. He got far in the competition, no doubt, because of his looks. But I never bought what Colton was selling. I suspected he may be gay or he just made up the virgin story to draw attention to himself and stand out.

When ABC picked him for The Bachelor, I was disappointed. There were other guys in the running who I believed were better and more authentic choices. But The Virgin Bachelor was apparently more interesting. So the viewers watched as he wasted all these women's time. His eventual "winner" was Cassie who was lovely. She didn't feel chemistry and wanted off the show. But Colton (and the Producers) got her to stay. The two began a relationship. Who knows what that relationship looked like but it ended with Cassie filing a restraining order against him for stalking.

Now we have Coming Out Colton. I'm all for a celebrity sharing a coming out story. But is Colton someone to care about? I've seen the first two episodes and found parts of them cringe worthy. His coming out to his mother, father, brother, and best friend is something that should have been done in private. Whether he was truly coming out to them for the first time, or these were re-enactments, he was wrong to put his loved ones in this position. Next for me is the big reveal to his ex high school football coach whom he hadn't seen in years. Unnecessary. The coach seemed mortified being put on the spot.

The show should have focused completely on his life after coming out. Better yet, why not choose a newly out celebrity whose past is less sketchy.

The series does have some important things to say about the difficulties in coming out, especially for athletes. But I found myself more intrigued with Colton's friend, Olympian Gus Kenworthy, who dealt with his own coming out in a much more admirable way.

Colton's ex Cassie made the right move avoiding this whole thing. Colton should take a lesson from her and start living his life in the real world away from reality TV. We've had enough.
