Tyler Rush is a former gay porn star who now runs a YouTube channel with more than 190,000 subscribers called Watts The Safeword. He and four other YouTube channels are filing a class action lawsuit against YouTube and its parent company Google for allegedly discriminating against LGBTQ+ content creators.
LGBTQ+ creators in the community have many claims where we have experienced discrimination, unfair and deceptive business practices, restraint of speech and are finally speaking up for themselves and the entire LGBTQ+ community.

Jim says
YouTube aren’t discriminating against any one group, they’re discriminating against everyone. This is why I don’t like identity politics.
Kevin Jones says
It will be very interesting to see how this goes. I will be staying tuned.
Marcelo Crisp says
I am not buying these complaints. If Google or Youtube sucks so much then don’t visit, depend or otherwise engage with it. I don’t care about these “issues” or claims of bias against a company. They can be biased all they want.
There are hundreds of alternative video sharing web sites. If you don’t like the way that Youtube operates its business then do not do business with them.
It would be better to use an alternative website not part of “big tech” which has more freedom in their rules. Whatever is removed from Youtube can be posted on other websites as free speech.
