Instagram has launched its first channel which is dedicated to LGBT youth. Users were encouraged to include the hashtag #VisibleMe in their posts to tell their story over the social media platform.
Raymond Braun, who organised the campaign, says he intends to shine a “spotlight” on diverse, compelling stories from LGBT youth.
“People are more likely to support the LGBTQ community when they know someone who identifies as LGBTQ, so I hope this project provides a platform and voice to young people, helping them feel empowered and supported.”
