YouTube Celebrated Pride by Refusing to Stop Targeted Homophobic Abuse

YouTube’s track record with the LGBT community is already poor- now, it’s even worse.

For two years, Steven Crowder, the Alt-Right darling with over 4 million subscribers on YouTube has built his brand spewing hate and bigotry from his video podcast show “Louder with Crowder.” Entire episodes of his program are devoted to attacking feminists, transgender people, victims of rape, immigrants, democrats and gay men. In these disturbing videos, Crowder does things like dress up in drag and pretend to be a woman while demanding access to women’s locker rooms at a local gym and makes prank calls “Liberal” churches asking if they’ll take in refugees. He makes fun of slavery, the holocaust and does it under the pretext of comedy. But, It’s not comedy.
