With most of the United States and other countries have advised their citizens to shelter in place and practice social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic, YouTube creators are finding creative ways to deliver content to their followers. LGBTQ+ YouTubers are among those that are using this time of social isolation to keep bringing videos to their fans.
