I posted this video on Facebook over a year or two ago. Once again, it goes to show why I started blogging again. I can't find things I posted on Facebook older than year or more. Memories, kind words, loving comments, ridiculous shenanigans (all gone).
Luckily, someone on Facebook posted this video online the other day, and I can store it on my blog forever. It is absolutely adorable, never mind that the guy is hot.
Putting that aside, Jacob, the 21 year star in the video, became a YouTube sensation with over 500,000 hits within a matter of days. He uploaded the video you're about to see, as a love confession to his online friend, Anthony in sign language. It literally melted the hearts of millions within weeks!
Jacob and Anthony have been together since April, 2010, and are still madly in love. In a recent interview, they both confessed that neither is deaf or hard of hearing. Anthony says he is a fan of sign language, and wanted the opportunity to converse with the deaf. Jacob took notice of this, and took the time to learn as well, "For me, sign language is an art form. It is like teaching your hands to dance! From our very first date, Anthony and I started to learn sign language; we spent an entire evening together, discovering each other."
Asked on why they decided to upload something so personal on the internet, they stated, "We see it as an expression of gay love, as many people try to connect gays with sex. The responses were amazing, but we do not think they were posted only because they see a delicious boy without a shirt using sign language. We think the reason it has become successful is because of the message. "
"The video means a lot to us, and has given many people the opportunity to see what real love between two boys consists of. We are glad we gave the world a chance to smile. "and now, time for the video...
The song playing in the background is performed by Aaron & The Gays, and it's titled "Computer Sex". Lyrics are after the jump...
