Category for discussion
I believe, for many LGBT YouTubers, especially those who have found fame or increase fame through a coming out video, being an LGBT YouTuber is a defining characteristic, just like the Gay politicians or Gay writers category. However, a user has nominated the category LGBT YouTubers for deletion. [|Please see the discussion here] AusLondonder (talk) 09:24, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
