The Importance of “Coming Out” Videos Online

By Zachary Rocha

In 2015, 800,000 Americans updated their Facebook profiles to indicate their membership in the LGBTQ community, according to research conducted by Facebook.

In the Digital Age, many people are choosing to “come out” to friends and family on internet platforms. In an interview on the “Today Show,” Anastasia Khoo, chief marketing officer for the Human Rights Campaign, said YouTube stars who announce their sexuality on the video service website may encourage other young people to come out as well.

This video was created as a final project for the Honors Media Literacy class in the College of Media & Communication.
