Empowering LGBTQ+ youth: the role of Live Out Loud & the influence of Live Cam Boys

Speaking of representation, live cam platforms provide spaces where young LGBTQ+ people can see themselves represented, heard, seen, and validated. Let’s take one of these platforms, like for example Stripchat, one of the most popular cam sites; they feature a lot of live cam boys that live and express themselves freely. For youngsters, this is a great representation of gay men living openly and proudly. They can even see how they make some bank in the process, which allows them to be independent and wealthy.

On the other hand, seeing different expressions of sexuality on these platforms is also something positive for LGBTQ+ youth, as they can feel less isolated and more accepted. It just comes to show that you might not have support in your offline life, but you can 100% have it online.
