Activists Who Have Stood Up for The LGBT Community

By: AB Newswire
July 14, 2022 at 16:10 PM EDT

In recent years, the LGBT community has faced an increase in discrimination and violence. Many people have come out in support of the LGBT community during this tough time. These individuals have etched their names into the LGBTQ+ Movements. 

The right route always begins with a first step, which is frequently done by very daring people who disagree with the current situation. Here are a few folks that have been standing up for this community's support without even thinking about their safety. We can surely say that progress in terms of rights has been witnessed as a result of their hard work and continuous efforts. Take a look at this list, which includes the names of some of the most wonderful and courageous people.

Lisa Powers

Lisa Powers is a fighter for sexual health and LGBT rights in the United Kingdom. In 1988, she was appointed Secretary-General of the International Lesbian and Gay Association, and she was instrumental in the formation of the Pink Paper (A UK publication addressing gay and lesbian issues). In 1989, she co-founded Stonewall (named after the 1969 riots) and later became the Terrence Higgins Trust's policy director. She collaborated with Dan Vo and the National Museum Cardiff to establish 'Queer Tours' in 2020, to uncover hidden LGBTQ+ histories in Cardiff. She is the chairwoman of the HIV Justice Network and the organizer of Pride History Month at Pride Cymru.

Todd Emerson

Todd Emerson is an LGBT rights activist based in Mississippi and is one of the most notable supporters of the LGBT rights movement. He founded the Ocean Spring Pride March in 1993 as the first grassroots organizer. He is also a founder of GL Friendly and a member of the Mississippi Gay and Lesbian Task Force and the South Mississippi Aid Task Force.

                                                

Being a gay man himself, it's never been easy for Emerson but his commitment is unquestionable, as he has fought relentlessly to enhance the rights of LGBT people all around the world. 

Mima Simi

Mima Simi is a writer, cinema critic, and LGBTQ activist from Croatia. She uses comedy and creativity to start a conversation in her nation about LGBTQ rights, seeing popular culture as a method to promote equality and improve visibility for LGBTQ individuals. Simi, along with Aher, attended the Human Rights Campaign's Global Innovative Advocacy Summit last year, where she shared her unique experiences and techniques with other equality activists from around the world. She has undoubtedly made a huge impact on many people who were not in support of LGBT rights before.

The 'discipline' of LGBT rights is still relatively new. Despite this, substantial progress has been made in terms of equality, respect, and acceptance, with activists such as Todd Emerson, Mima Simi, and Lisa Powers to thank. These people have fought a long and hard battle throughout their lives, and the results are very clear.
