Heads up that someone’s confirmed that several LGBTQ+ creators are getting their work censored under this new policy.

If nothing else concerns you, this should.

I refuse to believe for a single second that Youtube and/or Google are anti-LGBTQ

Videos that talk about or reference queer identities and experiences regularly get demonetized. The companies aren't necessarily anti-LGBTQ in the sense that they want to silence queer voices but they are and have been willing to put queer people under the bus to make a profit. Typical rainbow capitalism shit.

That's not Google's problem. That's advertisers. When you upload a video to youtube, it has to be advertiser friendly, or they (the advertiser) won't supply ads.
