By Fabio Crispim

A Mississippi gay couple, Hunter Herring and Tyler Matl, have come out via an inspirational YouTube video which they hope will help others come to terms with their own sexuality.

The social media stars created a joint YouTube channel where they posted the video, which has since gained over 20,000 views. In it the boys discuss their relationship and offer their help and support to other LGBT people.

Tyler, a musician, has over 60,000 followers on Twitter, while Hunter has over 100,000 followers on Instagram. In the video, they state that they have been together for two years and have just recently moved in together.

Tyler says, “We feel that so many people, not just with being gay, have a problem accepting themselves and loving who they are for who they are.”

“Whether they’re black or white, gay or straight or tall, short, skinny overweight no matter what you are, we want to encourage you guys to love yourselves and be happy with who you are because you’re perfect.”

Hunter says, “So many people struggle with their inner feelings, their outside looks and just being able to accept themselves and love themselves.”
