The Top 10 Gay Web Series On YouTube
rukkle knows you’re bored of watching your regular mainstream television programming.
We’ve created a list of gay web series featuring gay, lesbians, bears, queers, and more.
rukkle can relate to the frustration with the lack of gay representation seen on tv today. Thankfully, there’s a number of gay web series to help fill the void. Here’s our list of 10 gay web series for you to check out. Some have recently been released and others are already on their 2nd and 3rd seasons.
Whoa, Dude
Jonny McGovern has created a show in the vein of Tosh.0. Each episode features homoerotic viral vids that will cause viewers to stop and say, “Whoa, Dude!” Beware though, the show can be NSFW at times.

Whatever This Is
Speaking of Adam Goldman, Whatever This Is, is his latest gay web series that he’s created.

The 3 Bits
The 3 Bits is a gay web series that is written and directed by Max Freeman and Margaret Singer. The episodes are divided up by the three main characters — which are three siblings — so you can see the story unfold from their unique points of view. Two of the sibs are gay, while one is straight.
They’re already facing controversy with one scene featuring someone snorting cocaine off a baby resulted in a call from the actual police.
Freeman explains,
“They were worried that we were endangering a child. [An officer] called and said that he wanted to clarify that it was not a criminal investigation, it was a inquiry. But he repeated this five times and the more he said it, the more I felt like I needed to call a lawyer.”
Watch Roman’s first episode of The 3 Bits on YouTube.
Spin The Bottle
Spin The Bottle is a gay web series about six friends who talk about love and give dating advice to one another while drinking it up.
The series was created by Matthew Barnard, who describes Spin The Bottle as being…
“about six friends who give each other tips on love, relationships and sex, all while tipsy.”
The show is already in its 3rd season and you can watch the trailer for the trailer for Season 1 on YouTube.
We’ve shared ours, now we’d love to know your favourite gay web series.
So, no urban/ethnic gay web series were found? There are some amazing and talented diverse lgbt content creators, but it is what it is, I suppose.

I think they went more for budget and mainstream exposure than audience size and demographic..just so happens the color-less still get more exposure in these days and times…no shade. just truth.
There is a series called Freefall on YouTube. Lamont Pierre, Geno Brooks and the rest of the BOA collective have put together an entertaining urban series.
Production quality is great for most episodes. The situations make the episodes interesting, but I have to admit, there is a slight disconnect in the delivery of some lines.
Overall though, it’s a great series. It ventures outside of the gay comedy and gay-queen-centered shows often found on TV and on web.

G & T is a fantastic Italian Web series. The first and most of the second season are on youtube. Italian with subtitles.
Gay is only, and only about sex. Prove me wrong. Also, all the finger pointing from those damn Christians, Muslims, Hindus and all that bullshit is really all about thier faillures……..All the religions in the world condone LOVE, not same sex………..Stay safe
Four things to remember:
1.Hold on to self, while others try to conform you to thier liking, at your expense.
2. Learn how to self soothe constructivlely – shopping, sports etc
3. Don’t react.
4. Tolerate PAIN for growth.
Only the Dark One Prevents Truth……..
Gtfo
Yeah, because ‘Straight’ people only get married or have relationships JUST FOR SEX… makes perfect sense
