LGBTQ Streamers of the Year
FoxQueen - People can expect a chill
inclusive environment from my stream. I
usually try to keep it fairly PG-13 but
I am a gay woman that likes joking about
a good tit every now and then. I
typically play JRPG’s and story based
games, usually of the anime variety. But
any game where I can be a lady who
smooches other ladies is a must play in
my book and you’ll probably see it on my
stream at some point.
Biggus Bennus -
People can expect both a lot of
interaction in chat and also in whatever
I’m playing. I predominantly play Animal
Crossing, incorporating game shows such
as Deal Or No Deal, Blind Date and
Snatch Game. Then every Friday I turn my
community into big, oiled up wrestlers
in WWE 2K and let them beat each other
to a pulp. It’s a great way to welcome
in the weekend!
MiaByte
- Expect weirdness, wackiness, and a
variety of content. Games, DnD, puzzle
solving & more. No matter what I do it’s
always a chill time. I basically just do
my best to make peoples day a little bit
better.
CypherOfTyr -
You can expect a variety of things:
mainly RPGs, third person shooters,
crafting and mini painting and sometimes
Coffee With Cypher. It’s a comfy
community that takes safety seriously.
Psyche - She plays a lot of space,
sandbox and story games, but also likes
games that make her cry. Her community
is focused on creating a safe and
inclusive space, wholesome but sometimes
immature humor, and a healthy dose of
chaos.
IamBrandon -
When someone comes to stream, they
should expect the unexpected. He usually
plays many retro games from the past
that he never got to experience when he
was younger, with a bit of horror from
time to time. The conversation is mainly
what keeps people staying.
J0hnJ0hnn -
My space
is very loud and very gay! I’m a variety
streamer and I play everything from
simulation games, sandbox games,
adventure, survival horror, and RPGs! We
have a close-knit community who focus on
supporting each other, talking about
issues (personal and global), and
razzing me for my gameplay! I’m also
heavily focused on promoting a body
positive space and inspiring people to
be more comfortable and confident in
their own skin.

LGBTQ Voices in Digital Spaces
Queer Influencers and Content Creators
The emergence and prominence of LGBTQ
streamers, influencers, bloggers,
gamers, and content creators have
undeniably brought about a multitude of
positive effects in various spheres. One
of the most significant impacts lies in
representation. By showcasing diverse
sexual orientations and gender
identities, these individuals contribute
to a more inclusive and representative
online environment. This representation
not only helps LGBTQ individuals feel
seen and heard but also fosters a sense
of validation and acceptance among wider
audiences.
Moreover, LGBTQ content creators often
play a crucial role in breaking
stereotypes and challenging societal
norms. Through their authentic and
unapologetic expression of their
identities, they defy traditional
expectations, helping to dismantle
prejudiced beliefs and promoting a more
open-minded and tolerant society. This
process of normalization is vital in
fostering empathy and understanding,
ultimately contributing to the
destigmatization of LGBTQ experiences.

Additionally, the presence of LGBTQ
voices in the digital space serves as a
platform for education and awareness.
Content creators often use their
influence to discuss important issues
such as discrimination, mental health,
and equal rights, fostering a more
informed and enlightened audience. This
educational aspect not only empowers the
LGBTQ community but also allies,
creating a ripple effect of positive
change in attitudes and perspectives.
Furthermore, the success of LGBTQ
influencers and content creators sends a
powerful message about the potential for
acceptance and inclusivity in various
industries. By thriving in their
respective fields, these individuals
demonstrate that talent and creativity
transcend sexual orientation or gender
identity. This can inspire others in the
LGBTQ community to pursue their passions
without fear of discrimination, leading
to a more diverse and enriched cultural
landscape.
 
LGBTQ streamers, influencers, bloggers,
gamers, and content creators contribute
significantly to the positive
transformation of online spaces and
societal attitudes. Through
representation, challenging stereotypes,
education, and inspiration, they play a
crucial role in fostering acceptance,
understanding, and equality, paving the
way for a more diverse and inclusive
future.

Trans TikTok Personality Brianna Ghey is
Murdered
Two
school children charged with murder of
trans teen Brianna Ghey
Brianna Ghey, who was described by her
family as a "larger than life
character," died in february 2023. Two
schoolchildren have been charged with
murder following the death of the
16-year-old transgender girl in an
English village.
A boy and a girl, both aged 15, have
been charged with the murder of Brianna
Ghey, who was found dead in a park in
Warrington in the country’s northwest.
Members of the public contacted the
emergency services after Ghey’s body was
found on a path in Linear Park, in the
village of Culcheth, police said. She
was found with fatal stab wounds, police
said.
Police and forensic scientists initially
said there was no evidence to suggest
the circumstances surrounding Ghey’s
death was hate related, before later
adding that all lines of inquiry were
being explored, “including whether this
was a hate crime.”

Brianna's family said: “Brianna was a
much loved daughter, granddaughter, and
baby sister. She was a larger than life
character who would leave a lasting
impression on all that met her. Brianna
was beautiful, witty and hilarious.
Brianna was strong, fearless and one of
a kind. The loss of her young life has
left a massive hole in our family, and
we know that the teachers and her
friends who were involved in her life
will feel the same. We would like to
thank everyone for their kind words and
support during this extremely difficult
time. We would like to thank the police
for their support, and witnesses for
helping with the investigation.”
Almost £90,000 ($109,000) has been
raised so far for Ghey’s family by an
online crowdfunding campaign. Those
behind it say the funds raised will help
pay for a funeral, which they hope to
make “pink and colorful to match her
personality.”
The charges come a day after candlelit
vigils were held for Ghey in the cities
of Liverpool and Bristol, with more due
to be held across the country in the
coming days. Some of the events
have been organized by trans rights and
LGBTQ campaigners, including ones
planned for London, Manchester and the
coastal city of Brighton.

LGBTQ Youth and On-Line Engagement
Lesbian, gay, bisexual,
trans, queer, and other sexual and/or gender minority
(LGBTQ) youth identify significant benefits from
engagement with social media, as well as other
Internet-enabled technologies. While research comparing
their use to their non-LGBTQ peers is limited, research
has suggested LGBTQ youth may spend significantly more
time online. Social media serves as informal learning
environments for LGBTQ youth during their identity
developmental processes. As LGBTQ identities remain
highly stigmatized, social media sites provide youth
with critical opportunities to explore, label, and
practice disclosing their emerging LGBTQ identities;
control and rehearse their social interactions; as well
as access identity-specific resources. Even engaging
more passively with social media (such as watching LGBTQ
YouTube content) enables individuals to learn about
identity-specific issues and be inspired in their coming
out process, increasing identity confidence.

Social media facilitates identity construction and
communication by allowing LGBTQ youth to curate their
online presence in a context characterized by relative
safety (users can block or accept whomever they
choose) and control over anonymity (users can
choose how much [if any] of their life is made public).
The comparative anonymity available online facilitates
opportunities for youth to develop and explore their
LGBTQ identities in ways not feasible in offline
communities. Anonymous social media activities ensure
that participants’ emerging LGBTQ identities are
protected from premature disclosure and from socially
significant individuals (friends, family) who may
not be accepting. Recent research finds that LGBTQ youth
are able to engage in self-expression by curating their
profiles and navigating unwanted comments and advances,
which they are unable to do to the same extent in their
offline lives. The interactive nature of social media
enables a closer investigation of the ways that LGBTQ
identities and experiences are constructed and
communicated using technology.
For LGBTQ youth, online community engagement enhances
well-being. Participation in online communities may
allow LGBTQ youth to access role models who share their
experiences, as well as seek emotional and social
support. As individuals become more comfortable with
their identity, they may engage in sharing LGBTQ content
and participate in educating and supporting other LGBTQ
people within their online networks. Youth were able to
use social media as a bridge to access resources within
their offline communities while minimizing potential
risks, making local LGBTQ populations more visible to
young people—particularly in rural communities. The
Internet is perceived by LGBTQ youth as an efficient way
to address gaps in identity-specific information (to access sexual health resources), as well as an
effective means of learning about offline services and
events. Overall, social media allows LGBTQ youth to
explore their identities and social relationships,
access resources, and curate their own mode of
self-expression while controlling their degree of
self-disclosure.

Digital media is a powerful force. What
happens on screen can set off a ripple
effect that reaches all corners of
society; one that influences not only
how people view others, but also how
people view themselves.
The average person spends 7.5 hours a
day consuming media… and yet, only
27% of the LGBTQ community feel they’re
well represented by the content they
see. The time has come for this to
change.
One of the digital platforms that hosts
YouTubers and other creators is Uscreen,
which has become a place where many
LGBTQ content creators have launched
their online streaming services.
Unicorns.live - Bringing LGBTQ
Performances Online. Unicorns.Live
broadcasts LGBTQ events using live
video.
SVTV - Amplifying Queer Storytellers. In
the digital age, inclusion and realistic
representation of LGBTQ people is more
important than ever. And that’s what
SVTV is all about. SVTV offers LGBTQ
community-driven content that include
series, film, sports, documentaries,
podcasts, and live streams.
TysonPlus - Boundary-Breaking LGBTQ TV
Shows. TysonPlus is a LGBTQ streaming
service that produces
people-of-color-inclusive content.
TrickleUP - An Online Network Where
Artists Help Artists. Inspired by the
artists-on-behalf-of-artists movement,
TrickleUp is an American charity
organization that showcases performing
arts content on its streaming platform.
Lesflicks VOD – An Online Space For
Women Who Love Women (WLW). Focusing
mainly on lesbian, bisexual, and some
transgender, movies, shorts, and TV
series, Lesflicks VOD brings you content
you can’t find on traditional (and even
LGBTQ) streaming services.
GayBingeTV - The Riches are in the
Niches. GayBingeTV showcases gay movies
and TV shows, creating a specific space
in the entertainment industry for gay
men while also leaving room on their
platform for LGBTQ, including
transgender content.
Fearless - Discover New, Independent,
And Inclusive Content. Fearless is a
video streaming service that offers
viewers access to inclusive content from
all under-represented groups.
