For years, Shane Dawson has been one of YouTube’s most familiar faces, and as his star has grown, so too have rumors about his sexuality. Given his somewhat flamboyant manner and his propensity to cross-dress in his videos, “Is Shane Dawson gay?” became a common question.
As it turns out, Dawson’s sexuality is a bit more complicated than just gay or straight. In an emotional video, the YouTube star has come out as bisexual and informed his viewers about the sexual confusion he has struggled with for most of his life.
In the video, Dawson cites other YouTubers who have come out, such as beauty star Ingrid Nilsen. He laments not being gay, as he believes it would make his admission much easier. Instead, he reveals a life of uncertainty and explains how this uncertainly has informed much of his life, such as the struggles with weight that...

In October 2014, New Form Digital--the studio run by Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, and Discovery Communications--produced 14 short films across YouTube. Each short was helmed by a different channel or content creator, and the result was a diverse selection that spanned from comedy to horror to sci-fi.
Now, New Form is looking to spotlight ten more filmmaking from the YouTube community and beyond. At Digital Entertainment World, it announced the second round of its Incubator Series and revealed the creators who will participate.
As with the first round of Incubator projects, the list of YouTubers collaborating with New Form is a mixed bag. Some, like Wong Fu Productions and Lisa Schwartz, are hugely successful YouTubers with seven-digit subscriber counts and nine-digit view counts. Others, like Ben Cook and Emily Diana Ruth, run comparatively smaller YouTube operations.
All the participants can be seen in a short teaser video provided by New Form.
