Irish couple Jamie and Harry are both trans and their Youtube following is steadily growing. They look at issues that face them as a trans couple.

While Jamie has more experience in the limelight having appeared on talk shows with her trans sister Chloe, Harry is dealing with being in the public eye as a Youtuber for the first time.

“We’re giving messages both to young trans guys and girls, so there’s a balance between health and the community, being trans, being a trans couple, and just being a couple,” Harry told GCN.

3. Riyadh K

Ok, so we’ve already mentioned how Riyadh and Arielle got their kit off for educational purposes on her Youtube channel, but Riyadh K is a Youtube star in his own right. With his mom reading his Grindr messages catapulting the Irish native to international fame, Riyadh tackles universal issues that LGBT people face in Ireland and across the world.

Riyadh was also involved in an incident where his fellow Youtuber Callum McSwiggan may or may not have suffered a homophobic attack before being incarcerated for damaging a vehicle.

Recently emigrated to the UK, Riyadh’s short video ‘Home‘ takes a nostalgic look at Ireland from his new home in London.

Check him out below calling the Westboro Baptist Church after his mom’s Grindr message video went viral:

1. Trixie and Katya – UNHhhh

Top of the list is RuPaul’s Drag Racers Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova and their hilarious ‘UNHhhh’.

With Trixie’s quick wit and Katya’s off-the-cuff insanity, a little Contact and a whole lot of Red Bull, these drag queens manage to be laugh out loud funny from start to finish. Couple their hilarity with some genius editing and special effects (of which there are many) and you’ve got yourself a show you’ll never want to miss!

So far there are nearly thirty episodes of UNHhhh so you’re really in for a binge-watching treat.

If there is one thing you take away from this list to add into your life, let it be UNHhhh! Here’s the first episode to give you a taste, but they definitely get funnier so watch a few before you make your decide your verdict:
