Hollywood's LGBTQ activists that are changing the narrative

In June, we celebrate the progress and impact the LGBTQ community has made in the United States with a month-long celebration of acceptance and love while also recognizing how much further we have to go to achieve true equality.

The festivities take place during the first month of summer to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which was a tipping point for the gay liberation movement and helped pave the way for today’s LGBTQ fight for rights.

As pride month kicks off with parades, marches, and parties across the world, here’s a look at a few well-known faces that are making a difference in this community in the United States today.
