Coming Out Uploaded
Do coming out videos sensationalise sexuality for online hits or can they help viewers come to terms with their own identity? Nick Grimshaw investigates.
Do coming out videos sensationalise sexuality for online hits or can they help viewers come to terms with their own identity? Nick Grimshaw investigates this online phenomenon.
Coming out is different for everyone, whether you're lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or don't like to label your sexuality at all. It can be liberating, low key or one of the most difficult moments of your life. So why would you choose to share that experience with the world?
Nick Grimshaw hears the stories of what really happened behind the scenes of some of the most popular coming out videos of all time, as told by the makers themselves. He delves below the comments section, hearing stories from creators and viewers alike, including a vlogger in Indonesia where homosexuality is illegal in some areas.
Featuring the Rhodes Bros, whose video coming out to their dad has 24 million views and counting, Riyadh Khalaf, Tom Daley, Radio 1's Adele Roberts and more.
