Mashable is video sex hd 18celebrating Pride Month by exploring the modern LGBTQ world, from the people who make up the community to the spaces where they congregate, both online and off.

When I was a 26-year-old adult looking to come out as queer, I turned to YouTube for support.

Mind you, this was 2009, when coming out videos, a genrein which the subject publicly comes out of the closet or offers coming out advice, were beginning to emerge. YouTube user EatYourPeas18 is believed to have posted one of the earliest coming out videos in 2007. (The original was taken down, but a new version was later re-uploaded.)

In 2009, I couldn't find many queer YouTubers to assist me. Frankly, the people who most helped me most on the platform were the members of the band Survivor, whose '80s classic, "Eye of the Tiger," I played on repeat. The song gave me the pure corny strength I needed to come out to my immediate friends.

It's now 2019, and countless coming out videos have been viewed by millions of people on YouTube. Their spectacular growth doesn't surprise Bryan Wuest, a Film and Media Studies Lecturer at UCLA.

"While there is now a variety of venues for digital self-expression, YouTube was the first to make it easy to post your own video content," Wuest told Mashable over email. "From what I've seen, many queer youth didn't find meaningful or reflective representation in film and TV at the time -- for a closeted religious queer youth of color in a poor rural area, for example, urban-centric representations of well-off gay white men might not offer much that speaks to their own experience. But something like YouTube, which not only offers a platform for independent video production but also makes searching for specific content possible through titles, tagging, etc., gives queer users access to a greater variety of stories."

A.t. Furuya is the Youth Program Manager at GLSEN, an organization that advocates for LGBTQ youth. Furuya understands the deep emotional appeal of videos like this for the population they serve. "There are a lot of options for young people to choose from,” Furuya told Mashable in a phone interview. “You can look up coming out trans. You can search LGBTQ. You're gonna get so many videos."

The popularity of these videos is obviously a good thing, but Furuya is concerned they could set a tough precedent "In order for your coming out video to ‘matter,’ you have to have a certain amount of followers or have a kind of instant fame," Furuya says. "I worry that's what [young people] think ... it takes to be an important trans person. 'Oh, I need to be famous.'"

Popularity might be the key to success in high school, but it should never be the metric for measuring the worth of a coming out video.

Just as there is no right or wrong way to come out, there's no perfect formula for a coming out video. Though there are some videos that people might find more helpful than others -- instructional videos that have an excellent sense of humor, or highly personal videos that explore deep emotions.

Here is a list of videos that have a range of views but offer thoughtful, funny, tongue-in-cheek, or meaningful advice to people seeking to come out as queer or trans.

"Ways to come out as transgender," Jamie Raines

Raines' piece is a particularly humorous look at coming out as trans. The YouTuber explores multiple different ways a trans person can come out through a series of genuinely funny (not just saying that!) sketches.

Raines made a conscious choice to explore this challenging content with a comical lens and a touch of earnestness at the video's conclusion.

"I made this video to show the frustrations of coming out and to say don’t give up, coming out doesn’t always work the first time, or the second, or even the third, whether it’s because of nerves or a misunderstanding," Raines told Mashable in an email. "Sometimes it can take a few attempts to get the message across. I know the video is a little far-fetched, but I also hoped it would give people ideas on how to come out, and wanted to approach the topic [in] a light-hearted way that would hopefully make people laugh -- even if it’s just at my awful acting!"

"Coming out," Elle Mills

Mills reenacts her coming out journey with a particularly well-produced video. For those of us who sometimes find coming out videos too close-to-home to watch (points at self), I highly recommend watching Mills' story, which feels emotionally familiar while still remaining funny. Kudos to her.

"10 cool ways to come out," Sam Collins

YouTube comedy can be a particularly bad genre of comedy, but Collins' video is exceptionally funny. Watch the YouTuber come out of the closet by literally coming out of a closet and drawing on a rainbow tattoo. It's a total send up of the genre, but never does Collins come across as cruel or snarky.

"100 different ways to come out . . . almost," Kovu Kingsrod

Kingsrod one-ups everyone with this very funny list of nearly 100 ways to come out. Thankfully, it's only about ten minutes long. There are sketches, wigs, some very corny suspenders, and a heartfelt message at the end.

"Twins come out to Dad," Austin and Aaron Rhodes

This video has earned over 27 million views on YouTube since it was first posted in 2015. I'm a sucker for twins content (sorry), but I also have a deep respect for these brave souls who bare their emotions in front of the camera. The two earnestly discuss their feelings with their father in a way that's so deeply personal and -- I think it's fair to use this adjective -- inspirational. It's rare to see this level of emotional intimacy, and I applaud the twins for doing it.

"Coming out: tips, tricks, advice" Isaiah Larkin

When I was coming out, I wanted to get advice from my peers, not professionals. YouTuber Isaiah Larkin provides the best of both worlds: mature and wise coming out advice, delivered with the intimacy and warmth you’d want from a friend. It nearly made me cry several times. I recommend it for people of all ages, but especially young people who are looking to come out.

"How To: Come Out! FtM tips," Ty Turner

Turner offers advice specifically for trans folks, but there's plenty of advice here that's applicable to cis queer youth as well. Turner provides original coming out advice that doesn’t feel ripped from a Google search. For example, I really liked Turner's suggestion that people consider coming out to family and friends individually, instead of in groups. While there's no right or wrong way to do it, I often found my one-on-one coming out conversations to be more impactful than when I came out to large groups.

"10 Ways to Come Out at School! Going back to school GAY!" Kevin Ninh

Ninh does a really good job of providing thoughtful, meaningful advice, and then demonstrating it with a funny sketch. Coming out videos can get really earnest, really fast. It's so awesome to watch a YouTuber who can blend comedy with genuinely helpful information.

"Ellen Page joins HRCF's Time to Thrive Conference," Human Rights Campaign

Though it's not a competition, Ellen Page's 2014 coming out speech might be the ultimate coming out video. It has the level of emotional directness we've come to love from her as a performer and that people often need when they're coming out to others. I wish I'd been able to watch this before I came out. It makes it seem simultaneously brave and doable.

If only all these videos had existed when I was 26.
