– [Dan (in video clip)] “Hello Internet”.
[Dan (in video clip)] “Hello Internet”.
[Dan (in video clip)] “Hello Internet, it'syour boy Daniel here–” [Dan (in video clip)] “As my new apartment video background currently looks like this, which is–” [Dan (in video clip)] “Why do you think this is?” [Dan (in video clip)] “.

Ah, well– It's your father– [Dan (in video clip)] “Eh?– Your dad.
” [Dan (in video clip)] “.

A consciousnessforever floating [Dan (in video clip)] “five feet over myhead starring sardonically–” [Dan (in video clip)] “Hello Internet.
” [Dan (in video clip)] “Spoiler alert, I'mnot straight”.
[Dan (in video clip)] “Sex.
[Dan (in video clip)] “The foundation of life.
[Dan (in video clip)] “And the only–” – [Dan (in person)] It feels like my whole life, [Dan] I've just had thisglass wall in front of me, [Dan] And so much of my personality, [Dan] So much of my life, especially withme being a comedian on the internet [Dan] With so many followers, [Dan] People feel like they knowme so well, and they do.
[Dan] It's just now there's nothing, [Dan] There's no obstaclesin my life anymore.
[Dan] I literally feel like I've beenwalking around in a glass box.
– [Dan (behind loud music)] So for me, thiswasn't just: [Dan (behind loud music)] “Oh, I'm going to write a [Dan (behind loud music)] “funny comedyabout coming out about being gay”.
– [Dan] So then I did the most awkwardon brand thing for me, [Dan] Which was to justtell them in an email.
– [Ben] What? – [Dan] Yeah, I literally just emailed my family, [Dan] Because it got so ridiculous, it went on for so long, [Dan] And I was too scared.
[Dan] So I literally sent theman email and I was like: [Dan] “Basically I'm gay”.
[Dan] And then I just went send.
[Dan] And then I thought look, this isjust the start of the conversation, [Dan] I'm sure we'll go on about this, [Dan] But I just need to rip the plaster off.
– [Ben] Yeah.
– [Dan] And that was the terrifying moment.
– [Ben] As an online influencer, [Ben] Do you feel that you provide theLGBT education that some schools won't? – [Dan] Definitely, I mean this is what theinternet and social media has become, [Dan] Entire communities of young people form [Dan] To create spaces wherethey can talk about things [Dan] Because they're just notgetting it from the real world.
[Dan] So yes, YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr, [Dan] These are the places thatthese young people go to, [Dan] To find a community [Dan] and to actually learn about howto exist as the person they are, [Dan] Because at the moment, this isn'twhat formal education is actually providing.
– [Ben] Let's talk about haters.
[Ben] Were there haters to your video? – [Dan] Not as many as I thought.
[Dan] When we talk aboutsocial media in general, [Dan] I think the biggest misconceptionthat people can have [Dan] Is that this is a fight that is anywherenear over, just because it's 2019.
[Dan] I mean yes, I think we all agreethe world is a much better place [Dan] Than it was 15 years ago, when [Dan] I was a struggling teenager.
[Dan] But when you have the debate over [Dan] what people should be taughtabout in schools right now, [Dan] The two women that gotattacked on a bus in London.
[Dan] We can't lie to ourselves andsay that everything is fine right now.
[Dan] I think that at this moment, [Dan] We're actually going through a politicallydivided time where there is a bit of kick back [Dan] From people that don't like that some people [Dan] are fighting so hard to have these spaces [Dan] And to feel accepted.
[Dan] So actually, I picked a bit ofa dodgy month to come out [Dan] To be honest.
(both laugh) [Dan] I was like looking at the news like, “Oh wow, great timing”.
[Dan] But to be honest, that's whatmade it even more important.
[Dan] You know I couldn't go: [Dan] “Actually it's a bit scarier right nowthat it was six months ago or a year ago”.
[Dan] It's: “No, this is the most importanttime for me to say.
[Dan] “No this is the truthand this is where we're at”.
