Voting is now open for LGBTQ Nation Heroes 2021!

Our editorial team put together a lineup of 40 people who we consider heroes from the past year across eight categories. The nominees are LGBTQ people or close allies who have done heroic work in a variety of fields and highlight what it means to be on the right side of history.

Now we need your opinion on who is making the world a better place! Readers can vote for who they think best represented what it is to be a hero in each category once each day, starting today and going through September 30. One vote is allowed per device per day. Winners will be announced shortly after voting is closed.
