Miles McKenna Bio

Miles McKenna was confused as a child about his sexuality and gender identity. He created a YouTube account as a means of dealing with his angst and soon started posting comedic videos. His videos were hilarious and attracted many followers to his channel. With time, as he grew more comfortable with his audience, he decided to come out to them and announced in a video that he is not straight. While he received a lot of support from his fans, he also had to deal with a flood of hateful comments. It was especially painful for him when his parents kicked them out of the house on learning that he is not straight.

Months of struggle followed but eventually he bounced back. In order to help other youngsters struggling with their sexuality, he posted a video titled ‘HOW TO COME OUT TO HOMOPHOBIC/TRANSPHOBIC FAMILY’ in July 2016, in which he advised the viewers on how to talk about their sexual orientation with unsupportive family members. This video, along with another one ‘SO I'M TRANS*,’ which he posted in January 2017, made him an icon for LGBTQ rights.

Numerous youngsters belonging to the LGBTQ community consider Miles as their role model and derive moral courage by watching his videos. He is quite popular on Instagram and has amassed over 700,000 followers.
