YouTube sensation Randy Rainbow kicks off the new launch of Gwist, an LGBT-aimed YouTube channel from the founders of Logo, with a dizzying little ditty.
Set to the tune of “Be Our Guest” from Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast,” Randy chronicles the evolution of the word from its original connotation to a synonym for homosexuality. The clip reaches its climax with Randy perched on a balcony with his arms outstretched, “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina”-style.
I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's.
My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces.
