The very emotional Shane Dawson YouTube video is almost 15 minutes long, and on it he explains the long journey he had to take to come to terms with his sexuality, after having struggled for years over feelings of confusion, wishing he was just one way or another.

According to E! Online, the new Shane Dawson YouTube clip was posted last Tuesday on his channel, saying he never thought he'd come out in public through the medium but "woke up this morning and [he] just had to," saying that he thought it'd be tremendous help for those battling similar issues.

Since Shane Dawson's YouTube confession was posted last Tuesday, the video has already gotten more than 1.6 million likes on the video-sharing site, with fans showing their support as he comes to terms with who he is, after telling the story of how the past year has seen him surrounded in confusion over this.

"There are a lot of coming out videos of people who are gay or lesbian and they're so confident," the vlogger said, according to Time Magazine. "But it made me cry because I'm not that, I don't know who I am 100%. And I know that a lot of you guys might feel the same way."

26 year-old Dawson says he became at peace with himself after years of therapy, finally being honest with himself.
