Classic Queerty: Five Adorable Gay YouTube Stars We Can’t Get Enough Of

Three years ago Queerty pored through the Internets, looking for some adorable gay boys opening their hearts on YouTube. The site has become even more ubiquitous since 2009, of course, and we’re hard at working creating an updated anthology of heartwarming, hot or humorous vloggers. But until that feature’s ready, here’s a look at the original post—a roundup of some of Queerty’s fave young YouTube stars.

Who should be on the next list? Tell us in the comments (and provide a URL, duh!). If we use your suggestion we’ll totally give you a shoutout and, like, um, maybe a prize or something. Maybe.

Why You Want to Watch: There are five guys, each of them take a different weekday and entertain you with their take on whatever theme they come up with. The “5 awesome” meme is big on YouTube, but these guys are by far our favorite. They’re like a politically active, funny version of New Kids on the Block.

Why You Want to Watch: I’ve been trying to figure out a way to work in Davey Wavey to this blog for a long time, because, basically, he’s the YouTube version of a Morning Goods. The problem is that most of his videos are too goofy for me to say anything serious or clever about them. That said, he’s shirtless, likes to talk about sex constantly and if there was an award for Best Twink Ever, he’d win every year for the next three years.

Why You Want to Watch: One of our original finds shut down his channel, so we replaced him with Eric, an adorkable redhead finding his way through the big gay world. He might not be doing himself any favors with a screen name like “StraightActingGayGuy,” but after ten seconds you can tell he’s not coming from a place of hate.

In “Sometimes I’m Lonely,” the self-proclaimed average guy admits he’s got lots of straight friends but a small pool of potential boyfriends to draw on. We’ve all been there at one point or another, and Eric’s unaffected earnestness really touched the place where our heart should be.

User: What The Buck?!

Why You Want to Watch: Well, Gawker calls Buck, “the breathless gossip vlogger who will replace us all,” and if want rapid-fire dish delivered by a hyperactive homo, look no further.” He’s topical and hilarious—and it’s really a miracle of science that he can talk as fast as he does without keeling over.

Why You Want to Watch: The side project of VGL Gay Boy Cole Escola, “Joyce” is the brand-spankin’ new YouTube sitcom confessional of Joyce Conner, a 49-year-old suicidal housewife.

If you think it’s weird that Cole, who looks like jailbait, is playing a middle-aged woman, this is probably not the show for you. However, if you enjoy watching a comedy prodigy make uncomfortable jokes about alcoholism and mental illness, satisfaction is just a click away.
