Openly LGBT Celebrities that inspire you?

I'd agree. I know little about him. Nothing seems very cliche'.

 

Jody Foster...because she announced it in such a badass way-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efYg0vQyPGA
Not only that, but she doesnt even care. Shes still the same epic Jodie Foster...yay!

 

My comment a little way back in the thread. I don't feel that I really know a lot about the experience of someone who is transgendered but this was a great insight...

'An openly transgendered celebrity -

I've just come from a brilliant performance by Fascinating Aida and they have just performed 'Adele's Song' - a song about the experience of one of the group, Adele Anderson, who is transgendered. The group said that the song took ten years to write and perfect before they felt it was the right time to perform it and this is apparently the first tour they've ever performed it on. The song was brilliant and talked about her transformation but also branched out into themes of being 'different' in any way. I felt it was the perfect balance between humorous (the group's main style) but also very honest about her experience. Following the song, the audience (comprised mainly of people 50 or older) burst into thunderous applause. It was a really inspiring moment and not one that I was expecting out of the evening.

(They were also absolutely hilarious and very clever!)'

 

Ellen DeGeneres!

 

Oh my god! How could I have forgotten John Barrowman, Sir Ian McKellen and Matt Bomer. Those three as well.

Edit: And Jim Parsons and Zachary Quinto...you know what? If they are a celebrity and they're gay and openly LGBT, they inspire me.
