Societal expectations have made it extremely challenging for people to stay true to themselves. After all, those who follow are often praised and rewarded, while individuals who choose to stand out are mocked. This reality is even more pronounced when it comes to the subject of gender orientation and identity, where many continue to hold backward views and discriminate against members of the LGBTQIA+ community. As such, esteemed content creator Jeffrey Carter bravely challenges this notion by dedicating his craft to inspiring and empowering people to be fearlessly unique and be themselves.
“Social media has allowed me to create freely and, to a degree, without judgment, and I want others to feel empowered to do the same. I want others to know it’s okay to be yourself and not be afraid to be unique. My goal is to be a role model for our community and for those who are struggling with their sexuality,” he insightfully explained. In line with this vision, he has created 4lgbt.org, an upcoming platform that champions the welfare of the LGBTQIA+ community by spreading positive vibes. In addition, the platform also aims to help people navigate the often confusing and challenging journey of discovering one’s sexual orientation and gender identity.
Aside from that, the project also ensures that it not only provides moral support but also leaves a material impact that furthers its advocacies for the community. As a result, it will also generously donate 10% of its sales to two outstanding organizations: the Los Angeles LGBT Center and The Trevor Project. Both of these groups are lauded for their stellar contributions and services to LGBTQIA+ allies and youth.
When asked to explain what motivated him to build such an intuitive brand, Jeffrey proudly responded, “I wanted to create an inclusive environment for others who may have experienced similar life experiences as I did, being part of the LGBT community and showcase relatable and some humorous content that our community could relate to. This is also as much of a safe space for me as it is for others.”
This distinctive trademark of merging entertainment with a cause has long been embedded in the social media personality’s brand. Having started in the industry at the tender age of 16, the Los Angeles-based celebrity has earned a profound understanding of the industry, allowing him to produce light-hearted yet meaningful content.
Because of Jeffrey’s incredible commitment and creativity, he has become one of the most sought-after online influencers. For example, he was featured on some of the biggest LGBTQIA+ apps like Scruff and Sniffies. On top of that, he has worked with major record labels, including Universal Music Group, Republic Records, and Photo Finish Records. In 2018, he was also signed to Collab LLC as a content creator.
Moving forward, as a member of the LGBTQIA+ himself, Jeffrey Carter remains steadfast in his mission of promoting uniqueness, upholding inclusivity, and creating a safe space within the digital sphere through his brand, 4lgbt.org.
