#VisibleMe: Instagram Features First-Ever LGBTQ Explore Channel

What a difference a little visibility can make.

That's the message behind Raymond Braun's new Instagram video series, #VisibleMe.

"People are more likely to support the LGBTQ community when they know someone who identifies as LGBTQ," Braun says. "I hope this project provides a platform and voice to young people, helping them feel empowered and supported."

And it seems Instagram agrees! The photo/video sharing service has created a dedicated Explore channel for the #VisibleMe project, the first LGBTQ-focused channel in the app's history.

This unique channel launched today! Head to Instagram's Explore page and click the #VisibleMe banner where you'll be able to access more than 25 videos from an amazingly diverse and passionate group of LGBTQ youth.

"I hope it shows LGBTQ youth that they are not alone," Braun says. "And that they're part of a community filled with creativity, diversity, resilience, strength, and passion."
