Do you follow youtube at all? Amongst the videoclips, tv shows, news there are those vbloggers who seem to be popular in the youtube community and sometimes get the attention of the media. Yes, the ''youtube phenomenon''.
I've come across to videos there that discuss gay issues as gay marriage, gay rights and being gay in general.
I find there are at least 3 types of 'gay youtubers'. Those who portray being gay in a very stereotypical way and contradict themselves when they say they fight the stereotypes. Being self centered and egotistic at the point of moronic with a lot of the ''gay touch'' sells... A LOT. Gets the attention of the media, even if it is only to ridicule. Wearing frocks and being camp is ok if that's who you are ,however when someone use this way as graphically as possible because it is commercial i cant find anything noble about it, not even for the sake of entertainment or to be famous.
There are those who don't emphasize much on sexuality and just ramble about which can be fun; then these other people who are gay (or have gay kids), who are well argued and well prepared with views, questions and opinions worth paying attention to but they don't get as many views.
To me this shows how gay issues are not taken seriously enough and either we have to be that outrageous to get attention and hopefully raise awareness or because of this silliness we stereotype ourselves so we are not taken seriously.
What you guys think about it? If you want list here your favorite gay youtubers.
I start with this one i have embed his videos here yesterday in another thread and i think worths watching and get more attention for his comedy and his more serious videos.

mile: I think he's either got a very structured mind or he prepares his subjects carefully before recording them. That's a lot of work put in to entertain. His stories of the Bible are told in rather far-fetched terms but are in fact accurate stories. It's the light he throws upon them that is hilarious.
