Almost two million people follow the German YouTube star Joey’s Jungle on the video platform and celebrate his entertaining clips. But now he has shot a serious video with a bold message: He is gay and with this revelation wants to help other people in similar situations.
Joey’s Jungle reports on fears and worries about coming out
In the almost eight-minute clip “Coming Out”, Joey’s Jungle shows recordings from his youth and tells the story of his life. His mother suspected early on that he was drawn to boys: “When I was six years old when I was dancing pirouettes in my parents’ garage, she said (his mother, d. R.) to a friend who thinks I’ll be gay some day. “
Joey’s Jungle also does not leave out the difficult times in his life in his stories and reports unadorned about fears and worries: “I grew up in an environment in which it was not okay to be gay. In people who were not straight , supposedly did not exist. Such people would only exist on television. “
