In the video, Mondo talked about his experiences in detail. He revealed that once he joined high school, he didn’t try to hide the fact that he was gay. But he since wasn’t completely sure whether he was gay, he had told his close friends that he was bisexual.
Mondo had a girlfriend at the time with whom he had opened up to and she was cool with his sexual orientation.
He added he didn’t have any repulsion towards women like other gay men did and really liked his girlfriend.
The XMONDO founder later started hanging out with an older guy at his high school who was also gay. The two got together and while they weren't boyfriends, their time together helped Mondo realize that he was gay and not bisexual.
The YouTuber also shared an unsavory experience of when this older guy revealed to the entire high school that Mondo was gay.
The hairstylist said he was deeply hurt by the incident and didn’t talk to the other party for a long time because of it.
As for coming out to his family, Mondo said there was no big coming out moment. He never tried to hide it, and he always assumed his family kind of knew about it.
