*Fair Use + Safety tip*: LGBTQ+ topics are sensitive on YouTube. 3 rules:
1. *Self-ID only* - If the actor didn’t say it themselves in _Variety_ or on IG, don’t label them. “Rumored to be gay” = defamation risk + YouTube strike.
2. *No deadnaming/misgendering* - Elliot Fletcher uses he/him per _Them_ 2017. Use correct pronouns or video gets flagged.
3. *Transform content* - Add your voiceover + context. Don’t just post “5 gay actors” with clips. That’s “reused content” and gets demonetized.
