Get YouTube to remove LGBTQ+ Videos from the "Restricted Mode"


Get YouTube to remove LGBTQ+ Videos from the "Restricted Mode"
The Issue
A year ago on the 26th June 2016, YouTube released the video "#ProudToLove - Celebrating Marriage Equality and LGBT Pride Month" onto YouTube Spotlight. The video itself was published soon after Gay Marriage was legalised in America and it received a lot of support from around the world in following the countries footsteps hitting over 7M views to date.
However, recently YouTube has added a 'Restricted Mode' disabling YouTube viewers to discover videos covering LGBTQ+ related topics and is hiding them from the feed on their platform.

This petition has been created to show support to the LGBTQ+ community within the YouTube community to express the disagreement in YouTube choice to do this and the belief that anyone and everyone should have access LGBTQ+ across the platform without restrictions.
#PrideToLove... Stick to it YouTube.
