Do you think they do more harm than good?

Every time I watch those kinds of videos, I always get scared and really upset, and I always feel like... "okay, being out was fun but now i wanna hide in the closet..."

Not to mention the disgusting comments that are left in the comment section.

What do you guys think?

half the people who post like that on youtube are high and mighty behind their computer screens and really just pussys (pardon my language but i hate most of them especially the ones you speak of) i enjoy posting and making them all look like idiots after they spew garbage on youtube

Hm ..Yah I get what you mean. That's pretty disgusting (the comments) ... But I mean .. who can change who you are with 2 or 3 words (mostly insulting) ? I'm not always answering them but when I have something to say and I feel it fits right, I do but if not... I don't do like stupid people do.

Are they? I know youtube has its fair share of idiotic users who post shitty comments, but I have mostly found that videos that have topics on gay rights etc tend to have more supporters than opponents. I don't think youtube represents the views of society, but my experience is that the messages tend to be more supportive than comments I have read elsewhere on the internet, such as mainstream news networks that allow comments on their articles.
