Celebrity Corner- Showcasing Those Famous LGBT Citizens and Our Allies

11/05/09-by Bridgette P. LaVictoire
Starting next week, we will be doing a weekly rotating profile of celebrities who have impacted the LGBT community in a positive manner. Rather than limiting this to just lesbians, though many lesbians will be profiled, this spotlight will shine upon many famous LGBT people as well as those who are our allies in our fight for equality. Thus, we hope to shine a spotlight upon allies such as Charleze Theron, Brad Pitt, Jon Stewart as well as Wanda Sykes, Kirsten Vangsness, David Hyde-Pierce, and Niel Patrick Harris.

Nor will this category be limited to just the recent in celebrity. The hope is that we can include many historic gays and lesbians and shine a belated light upon them. After all, it would be nice to raise the profile of some famous LGBT people from the past such as poet Amy Lowell.
