How To Become One of Our "Hottest Friends"

We're getting a lot of inquiries on how to appear on a "Hottest Friends" video. Here are the simple rules:

1. First, you have to be at least 18 years old. I reject those friend requests for those under 18 but I might miss sometime.

2. Your profile must identify you preferably as either "gay" or "bi". I don't think a straight guy would want to identify as a friend of QUEERchannel. You can either come out and say it or other indications on your profile will work.

3. Your pictures must be available for me to view and there must be enough there to convince me that you are who you say you are.

4. I need at least 5 good pictures to use in the video.

5. We must think you're hot. Sorry, but we can be picky sometimes.
