Social Media while having its ups and downs, has ultimately had a positive affect on the Queer Community, specifically the youth. To prove this we went down to UNF’s own LGBTQ+ Center and asked about their experiences with the online queer spaces. #ENC1143 #yesQueen

Social media is sanitized and causes younger people to be fearful of sex or shameful of having sex. - Anonymous

Social [media] for me is a very positive [thing]. [my] exposure [to] anything gay was through the internet and was an introduction to people being comfortable. It’s wide reach was beneficial but there is variety of older gay people on the internet that can give more of a history.

Recently, identities have been more monetized and [it] feels that we are being exploited. Micro labels are helpful for identity but feels that they are pushing people into a box due to labels. TikTok has caused some of this.

1. Do you agree with this claim?

“yes and no, yes because it exposes you to more of a community that you might not have known existed cause from where I was from I didn’t have that”

[Jaloni C @jaloni_c]

2. How the internet has had an effect on you?

“Because of where/how I grew up I didn’t know about bisexuality and neither did my mother so when I began liking a girl while also liking a guy I was really confused.“

[Jaloni C @jaloni_c]

“no because it also opens up that space where you can be ridiculed by a community on a whole other level because theres the whole ‘people are braver behind a screen’”

[Jaloni C @jaloni_c]

2. How the internet has had an effect on you?

“…being online has taught me that having individualized experiences is okay its okay to not want to ever come out and its okay to experiment…its a great thing that the internet has made that more popularizrd as a process.”

1. Do you agree with our claim made?

“There are definitely two sorts of facets [of the internet]…there are places that people can have a sense of community and togetherness with, but it has created a discord of sort.”

[Jaloni C @jaloni_c]

“…Overall I do believe it provides a sense of belonging for people who feel like they don’t belong and it [the internet] makes it accessible.

“The internet can be a place for LGBTQ+ youth to find peers with shared identities, and receive affirming support from others without judgement.” (https://t.co/1okgQVwKjY) #SafePlaceforGays #yesQueen #ENC1143 @ZariParti @Josejr2024
