Christina Aguilera hailed for inspiring LGBTQ community
The US Human Rights Campaign will honour the singer at a special event in LA later this month.
Christina Aguilera is being honoured by a major LGBTQ civil rights organisation.
The US Human Rights Campaign announced on Thursday that the six-time Grammy-winning singer is a true “LGBTQ icon” who uses her platform to “share a message of hope and inspiration” to those who have been marginalised.
The group said the 38-year-old has raised money to fight HIV/Aids, advocated marriage equality and spoken out against LGBTQ bullying.
Aguilera is being given the group’s Ally for Equality award, and will be honoured at a special dinner on March 30.
At the same event, the Human Rights Campaign will present its national leadership award to Yeardley Smith – the actress and producer best known as the voice of Lisa Simpson.
