There is nothing more than I love than my LGBT (Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, and Transgender) community. All of us have faced hardships, but have come together to share a common message of love and acceptance. As Gay rights continue to break through, let us take a look at 14 icons that have helped the LGBT community everywhere!

14. Mariah Carey

 

13. Christina Aguilera

 

12. Miley Cyrus

 

 

 

11. Michael Sam

 

10. Britney Spears

 

9. Judy Garland

 

8. Freddie Mercury

 

7. Barbara Streisand

 

6. Madonna

 

5. Cher

 

4. RuPaul

 

3. Ellen Degeneres

 

2. Elton John

 

 

1. Lady Gaga

 

 

From her crazy stage show to her hit songs, Gaga is one of the most important gay icons of all time. She has been an supporter of the LGBT community since the start of her career and even started the LGBT foundation, Born This Way. She has been vocal about her support of the community and truly was the first pop star to really talk about gay rights and issues. Gaga we all love you!
