The Gay-ly Trinity of the Princesses of the YouTube Kingdom

Youtube is such a big hit for the teenagers so much that they found it is as a medium of expressing themselves. It's like everybody have created their own small-film productions conveniently staged even right inside the 4 walls of their room. Natural talent seems to be existing in each one of us and the phrase "camera shy" is very foreign to them. Of course, these medium of expression were not left unexplored by the gay community. The truth is we are able to dominate it in the personification of the three mostly known Youtube users. As the title above they're referred as the Gay-ly Trinity,




they're the representation of the most diversified gay community in the present generation. We must forget all the gay stereotype characterization, and start thinking about individualization as all of their personas have shown us.


Without further ado, here are the Princesses in no particular order:


(1) William Sledd



Most of his vid entries well-known as "Ask a Gay Man" are about fashion and hairstyles. He explains the latest trends in fashion and occasionally goes on field location pinpointing fahion "dont's".

(2) Matthew Lush



Although he's more known in MySpace for his advocacies against smoking, animal slaughtery and the importance of being a vegan, "The Gay God" vids which include the same have been going around and getting attention from all over.


(3) Chris Crocker




His transgressive edutainment vids consists mainly of short-form self-directed "monologues about life". He could have thought of filming his life as a reaction of his forced social reclusivity (point taken from his home schooling) as a result of homophobia of the community where he lives in. And with his famous vid about Britney's comeback MTV performance he was able to skyrocket his status in this media.
