With June acting as Pride Month, many are out celebrating, volunteering, and figuring out all possible angles to help those we know in the LGBTQ+ community. Luckily, we have plenty of queer famous people on our side to lend a hand. This Pride, we're taking the time to recognize seven specific people constantly making strides for the LGBTQ+ community. 1. Ellen DeGeneres
No list of queer celebrities advancing the cause of LGBTQ+ rights would be complete without this daytime host with the most. When Ellen came out in 1997, the scene was completely different for those that identified under the LGBTQ+ umbrella. Because of the stigma that was associated with being gay at the time, Ellen took a huge risk in her career by opening up about who she really is. Thanks to her public outreach, she changed the game for the LGBTQ+ community in terms of their work in and out of the Hollywood limelight.
