I subscribe to a few Youtube channels, and one that I really like because it illustrates a much younger guy’s attitudes and ideas, is Davey Wavey. His “signature” is that he always appears shirtless, and he is really cute, but more importantly, his signature message is one of acceptance and seeing the good of everything. A friend and I were chatting about his videos, and my friend just think he needs to put his shirt on to gain more credibility. I think it is a successful “marketing” ploy to get viewers. You can’t consider what he has to say if you don’t see the video, and if his sexy chest gets you to the video, then he has an opportunity to share his ideas with you. And with his viewer counts as high as they are- I’d say it is working.

I was especially interested in this video, however, because he talks about this notion of how his sexual orientation colors the “whole of his being.” (my quote not his) I totally agree with him. I don’t think a person needs to see my “gayness” when looking at me in the sense that my actions and mannerisms are stereotypical, but rather, if someone thinks they can really see me, and know me and they totally ignore or deny that I am gay, then they are not seeing me for the whole of who I am.

What do you think? Check out his video and add a comment here.
