Successful LGBT entrepreneurs

by Jacob Woods

Created on: January 06, 2011

Amongst oppression and ridicule, lgbt entrepreneurs thrive in sea of inequality thresholds. With a good look around anyone can find these successful entrepreneurs who are constantly finding ways to overcome a loss of hope and inspiring young minds to keep pushing forward. The best of these success stories come from the internet which has been a catalyst for lgbt rights as well as a place of free thought. YouTube in specific has become the essence of the American dream. Here is where Americans still find that freedom of speech which still prevails. On YouTube, even those who are socially preyed upon as outcastes can come to have their share of entrepreneurial success.

Michael Buckley, Tyler Oakley, Davey Wavey, Mathew Lush, Arielle Is Hamming, Ruth Selwyn, and Hart Beat are among the ranks of famous YouTube sensations. They all have something to sell whether it is their humor, shirts, or just purified awesomeness in a can of YouTube happy. They all have their own little styles and live very much in their own little worlds. These YouTube shining stars get off on being themselves. And that is sort of how they make a living as well.

To begin, Michael Buckley started his show What the Buck with his first hit video in November 2006. After this he became a popular success on YouTube and began advertising soon after that. He became a full time YouTuber writing scripted videos in September 2008 and he continues with his success as he is one of the top 20 YouTubers online and he is continuing his career.

Tyler Oakley has been online for nearly four years based upon his YouTube channel. Tyler makes random videos of his life that usually offer a little bit of Tyler philosophy or Oakley rants and tangents. His videos are largely successful and he makes money by selling his own line of lgbt rights and equality clothing. Though he does have a job outside of his success on YouTube he has the entrepreneurial spirit and a great heart to go along with it.

Davey Wavey brings to the world a hot body and advice on how to maintain fitness and health. Dave provides his followers with tips of advice on fitness and often times he talks about gay issues and obliterates stereotypes through humor. Dave has been online for four years as well and has made it successful as the go to guy for humor and fitness.

Mathew Lush is a jewel of glittering hope for anyone who follows him. He has a passion for a vegan lifestyle and works to scorn hate by offering his personally designed hope hoodies.
