VIDEO & YOUTUBE

YouTube is a global phenomenon and in some ways has outpaced film in LGBTQ+ representation. Queer YouTubers are people who identify as LGBTQ+ and have their own YouTube channels with their own unique content, some are LGBTQ+ related and some are not. Many queer YouTubers are LGBTQ+ activists, authors, fashion/beauty professionals and more. These YouTubers are another way for queer people to see other queer people who are living well, enjoying life successfully and happily.
