History WebVideo / NeedsMoreGay

Hosted by Rantasmo (nee Jamie Maurer), [[https://www.youtube.com/user/rantasmo Needs More Gay]] provides a look at LGBT culture and its representation in the media and various subcultures. The series is hosted on The Backlot (formerly After Elton). It was formerly hosted on Website/ChezApocalypse until the site was terminated with Blip's shutdown in 2015. It was also on Website/ChannelAwesome until he and almost all of the producers left in 2018 following the #[=ChangeTheChannel=] controversy.

* QueerPeopleAreFunny: Discussed in both his [[Film/{{Mannequin}} Hollywood Montros]] video and his ''Film/BoatTrip'' review. He defends the flamboyant, fabulous Hollywood by saying that, while he's [[CampGay a stereotype]], people like him ''[[TruthInTelevision do]]'' exist and are usually a lot of fun to be around; he's extremely critical of the latter for treating homosexuals [[AcceptableTarget as a punchline]] for gross-out jokes and [[AllGaysArePromiscuous portraying them as perverts (or even rapists)]].

* ArmoredClosetGay: Rantastero, who is revealed to be a split personality of Rantasmo, tried to pass as straight for years before accepting he was gay. This is revealed in the ''Film/FightClub'' review, appropriately enough.

* PositiveDiscrimination:
** Discussed in ''Skins and the Problem of Maxxie''. The titular character is virtually flawless compared to everyone else and is a very passive player in his arcs (i.e. just having things happen to him instead of actively doing things), which he takes issue with.
** Brought up again in his ''Film/BringItOn'' episode. He even refers to the "nice, hot, Gay" character as suffering from "serious Maxxie syndrome." He also takes issue with the fact that this movie also features a scene in which a straight woman liberally uses the words "fag" and "dyke" [[NWordPrivileges in a supposedly affectionate way]].

* CerebusSyndrome: Following the presidential election of Donald Trump, widely regarded to be an enabler of both racism and homophobia, episodes have been lighter on the jokes about gay stereotypes and lighthearted education of uninformed straight people and more on the SeriousBusiness end of protecting what little visibility the LGBTQ+ community is now clinging desperately to now that the United States has [[ProperlyParanoid taken such a giant step backwards from progress. The jokes are there, but there seems to be a conscious effort to not even affectionately rib marginalized groups now that there's a fear that too many people will [[MisaimedFandom take it at face value]]. The fact that he's broadening his subjects to gender queerness also means he doesn't have [[NWordPrivileges the authority to make certain broad jokes]] as frequently.

* NonIndicativeName: ZigZagged. While he does regularly talk about genres and media that could be improved by the addition of gay content, more often than not he talks about things that either already have gay elements, or that just resonate with the gay community. Recently, he's made the move to be more intersectional with episodes about how mainstream media depicts the broader LGBTQ+ spectrum (ie, gender queerness, {{asexuality}}).
