When Craig was being picked on in grade school for not enjoying sports and jeering at girls on the playground, I was not surprised when the phrase “gay” was used more than a few times at his expense. He often just shook it off in the same way you might with any other playground insult. One day in ninth grade, he told me that he had something very important to tell me and to meet him at the park ASAP. I was just about as nervous as anyone whose best friend “needed to talk to them ASAP” would be. I…

Actress Ellen Page recently officially came out as a lesbian at the Time To Thrive conference. She made these comments: "I’m here today because I am gay, and because maybe I can make a difference. To help others have an easier and more hopeful time. Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility... I am tired of hiding and I am tired of lying by omission. I suffered for years because I was scared to be out. My spirit suffered, my mental health suffered and my relationships suffered. And I’m standing here today, with all of…
Laverne Cox is a proclaimed transgendered woman and starred on the Netflix original show Orange is the New Black. She is now an active LGBTQ activist and representative of trans people. She has this to say about trans awareness: "The preoccupation with transition and with surgery objectifies trans people, and then we don't get to deal with the real lived experiences- the reality of trans people's lives is that so often we're targets of violence. We experience discrimination disproportionately to the rest of the community... When we focus on transition, we don't actually get to talk about those things".
Actor Sir Ian McKellen is a well known activist for gay rights and has spoken at many pride rallies in his career. "If I was on a march at the moment I would be saying to everyone: 'Be honest with each other.

Wanda Sykes is an accomplished WOC comedian, actor and activist. She has been acclaimed for her self-titled 'trifecta of discrimination' - being a woman, being black, and being gay. "I am very proud. I am proud to be a woman, I'm proud to be a black woman, and I'm proud to be gay. And I love you all. Now let's go get our damn equal rights!"
Neil Patrick Harris has been praised for his role as a womanizer on How I Met Your Mother, but in reality is a gay man and speaks out about LGBTQ rights and awareness. He has this to say about having kids as a gay couple: "We're going to tell them information. I want them to have information. And I think the way they were brought into this world was very unique and weirdly scientific and the technology involved in it I think is remarkable. But it came because we really, really wanted kids. Like we really had thought it through,…

Freddie Mercury, of course, is a beloved rock idol. Frontman of the band Queen, he sadly passed away of AIDS. What most people do not know, however, is that Freddie Mercury was bisexual! "I'm possessed by love — but isn't everybody? Most of my songs are love ballads and things to do with sadness and torture and pain. In terms of love, you're not in control and I hate that feeling. I seem to write a lot of sad songs because I'm a very tragic person. But there's always an element of humour at the end".
Ellen Degeneres is perhaps one of the biggest face of the gay community in mainstream media, and is never shy to bring her activism to light with humour. "I was raised around heterosexuals, as all heterosexuals are, that's where us gay people come from... you heterosexuals"

But I'm an activist - that's just the kind of person I am".
Jane Lynch is best known for her roles in comedy as an outspoken, blunt character. However she has admitted in interviews that she has not always wanted to stand out, and that being gay was just another facet of her individuality. "When I grew up. I didn't want to be too tall.
