So number one, Rebecca, listen.
Rebecca is so slept on, Rebecca is so underappreciated.
She has been doing these incredible queer as hell
shorts and web series for so long now,
and I feel like not enough people know about her,
especially not the people who could benefit
from watching these amazing queer short films.
She's also releasing not one, not two, but
26 shorts under this love language umbrella
and she's been teasing it on Twitter
and it's still, as of me recording this, it's not out yet.
But 26, (sighs), queer stories
over 20 queer stories, I just, I'm obsessed with her, okay?
Number two, Taylor.
Taylor makes these incredibly well put together
personal stories but, that are always saying something
wide about the world, but always bringing up
questions for you to think about and answer.
Those are like Taylor's normal videos,
she'll just like come up with every week,
and I'm like in awe.
But she also does these activist talk hit videos
and they are fantastic as well,
so go and check those out.
Number three, Stevie.
I mean, you got Stevie giving you
sex and relationship education
that is smart and fun and demonetized,
so you know it's gonna be good.
Number four, Riley.
Riley is the queen of current events and queer affairs.
Like if you look at literally just like,
her five latest videos it's like, "Oh, we're
gonna do a video about laws that affect sex workers,
and exploring gas lighting, and a clap
about invisible disability."
And it's always so clear, and it's always
so well researched, that's why it's so good.
Number five, Marina.
Listen, I am like the shit version of Marina,
is essentially what's happening.
Like, a you've been living on diet Marina
this entire time if you're subscribed to me and not her.
You need to go and subscribe to her
to get the full experience of someone who like,
actually has their shit together
and is saying actual intelligent things
about feminism and sexuality and representation.
Just go.
Number six, El Mills.
Hot damn. This girl is so freakin' funny,
so bloomin' talented, and has been so incredibly
vulnerable on her channel,
talking about mental health issues and how she's feeling
and just, ugh, she's doing things in a super
honest and creative way.
Her editing is impeccable, just, go watch
her coming out video right now, just go.
Number seven, Jessica.
You're to get two for the price of one
because you also have Jessica's wife, Claudia.
Jessica is a deaf and disabled Disney princess
who appeared out of the cartoon world
to bless us with her presence.
She's giving us romance, she's giving us vintage fashion,
she's giving us disability advocacy and information.
She is a little ray of sunshine.
Number eight, Stef
Stef has been documenting her transition
in such an honest and open and informative
and warm way, and it's so fantastic to see.
She's been super open about the personal stuff,
the emotional stuff, but she's also been
collaborating with doctors to give you
behind-the-scenes information.
She's just so wonderful, she's like the
Woodland Sprite that has befriended
Jessica's Disney princess, if, you know,
Woodland Sprites had slammin' bodies.
Number nine, the Cake and Candles web series.
Full disclosure, this web series has one
episode out so far, and it's already made the list.
It's so gay.
Essentially, jump on this one early.
It tells the story of queer friends living in London
through different birthday parties,
and I am so hyped for the rest of the episodes.
Number 10, Claudia Berlin.
I have been watching Claudia for a long time now,
and she's still, still a fave.
She does amazing music on her channel,
she talks about mental health and
borderline personality disorder and also about pop culture.
She summarises with Game of Thrones,
talking about Doctor Who, she's just
one of my OG YouTube faves, and always will be.
Counterpoints aka Natalie aka,
can we talk about the Natalie, please?
Her videos are like philosophical dialogues
for the YouTube generation, oh my God,
as I was saying that I was like, that's a
terrible headline that someone would
put on a piece about her, but it's true.
There are so well researched, they are so well written,
and it's like peak bisexual mood lighting as well.
I think that she captures the idea of
nobody does something because they think
it's the wrong thing to do.
They'll do things that you think are
the wrong thing to do because they think
it's the right thing to do, and I think
it's really important to understand the
internal logic and or emotions behind people's decisions,
even if you think they're completely in the wrong.
And, just Natalie does that so freakin' well.
And, last but not least is Vespa
who I kid you not, I have literally
only found out about like maybe a week ago,
and I am so obsessed.
They make videos about topics like,
from mental health to being non-binary to being on T,
also like how like being black and being queer intersect.
And also, a really good video about Black Panther as well.
So, there you have it.
12 amazing LGBTQ plus YouTubers that
