Troye Sivan is not only a talented singer and YouTuber, but a dedicated member of the LGBTQ+ community. Troye released a coming out video before his music career started , and since then he has become a relatable outlet for LGBT+ teens. Troye doesn’t change anything in his work to appeal to the heterosexual audience, and instead is true to himself and his viewers by writing love songs about the men in his life. This has been very inspiring for his young, gay audience and makes his music very popular
