Future LGBTQ History Month: Shane Dawson, YouTube Genius
Fuse is celebrating Pride Month by looking at a variety of rising forces who are creating Future LGBTQ History before our eyes. Today we are honoring Shane Dawson, one of YouTube's original stars who continues to make millions either smile or choke with laughter for almost a decade.
The 28-year-old hails from Long Beach, Calif. first made his YouTube channel, "ShaneDawsonTV," in 2008. It is filled with kooky videos like pranks, pop culture conspiracies and endless Lady Gaga spoofs. Dawson later launched the "Shane" channel, which also includes fun videos with clicky titles including "TASTING FAMOUS CHRISTMAS FOODS," "DONT MICROWAVE THIS STUFF" and "SCARIEST TORTURE DEVICES." Throughout his YouTube journey, he has befriended and collaborated with other YouTubers like Joey Graceffa, BrittaniLouiseTaylor, TheFineBros, Trisha Paytas, Tyler Oakley and Miranda Sings.
