Embracing Authenticity and Empowering the LGBTQ+ Community on TikTok

Luca Coyle and Cooper Coyle, also known as the Coyle twins, are the next creators to be featured on the Creator Spotlight Series on TikTok. By day, they are twins, and by night, they transform into drag queens named Sugar and Spice. Through their videos on TikTok, they use their platform to showcase the power of drag and educate people about the LGBTQ+ community. They are part of a new wave of LGBTQ+ TikTok Trailblazers.

Pride, to them, means being unapologetically true to oneself and living without fear of judgment or rejection. As they reflect on their journey, their pride grows stronger each year, as they have come to fully embrace their true identities.

Their identity as gay twins who are also drag queens has allowed them to be fearless and live their truth. They encourage others to do the same and be whoever they want to be. They celebrate the diversity and strength of the LGBTQ+ community by representing people like them and inspiring others to do the same.

The TikTok community has inspired them by showing the power of representation and the importance of finding a sense of community on the internet. Seeing others with shared life experiences is empowering.

One of the videos they are most proud of creating is the one where they addressed their pronouns. They were able to educate people about the LGBTQ+ community in a fun and hilarious way, resulting in a viral video with over 11 million views. They believe in educating people without them even realizing it. They always aim to entertain and have fun while staying true to themselves.

Their content creation tips for other creators include standing out and being authentic. They found success on TikTok when they started producing original content instead of following trends. They believe that people enjoy watching others have fun and be in their element, so creators should focus on enjoying the process rather than trying to make a video go viral. They also advise creators to just post their videos without overthinking it, as there is an audience for everyone.

To the next generation of the LGBTQ+ community, they advise that sexual identity and gender do not define a person, but rather something to be proud of. They encourage them to shine brightly and not let haters bring them down.

To be allies to the LGBTQ+ community, they suggest supporting and promoting their favorite LGBTQ+ creators and being open-minded to learning about people who are different from them.

As for LGBTQ+ TikTok creators to follow, they recommend themselves, the Coyle Twins. They also admire Chrissy Chlapecka for her humor, kindness, and empowering message of not conforming to society's rules and labels.
