Help the LGBT Community on YouTube
The Issue
YouTube's new restricted mode restricts videos that have to do with LGBT people or even videos by LGBT youtubers, saying that they are trying to make YouTube more family friendly. What they don't get is not all LGBT videos or YouTubers are inappropriate. Even if some of the videos of these people or about them are inappropriate, why restrict almost all of them? YouTube is one of the place's where LGBT people and youth feel safe. If they are restricted from these videos, what are they going to watch? Of course they can listen to music and other YouTubers, but what if they need someone to look up to, and to see that they are not the only one's who are suffering?
