How to upload and share your “Identify. Tell me why. GCY!” video
Short version for experienced users (scroll down for detailed instructions)…
YouTube: upload your video to your YouTube account. Go to Facebook.com/GayChristianYes and post a link to your video. We’ll add your posted videos to the GCY webpage stream on a regular basis. Please be sure to include your name and the phrase “Gay Christian? Yes!” in the video title. Tag suggestions are listed below in the YouTube instructions.
Facebook: Go to Facebook.com/GayChristianYes and post your video directly to the page. You can also choose to upload it to your own account and then post a link on the GCY facebook page, but make sure that you’ve set the video permission available to “public” so all can see it.
You may use other video hosting sites if you wish, but if you want to be included on the GCY webpage stream, your host must support video embedding.
