Outstanding LGBTQ Youths of 2016
QueerBio.Com is pleased to present its annual list of Outstanding LGBTQ Youths for the year. The biographies of these individuals have all been added to the biographical website during the year when their actions and achievements came to the attention of the editors. Some have faced great risk to their personal lives by being publicly identified as LGBTQ, while others have used their skills to help others live their lives openly.
Each has made a material impact in their field of interest. These fields include activism, sports, politics, the military, fashion and entertainment.
It is particularly notable the large number of transgender individuals appearing on the list this year. This reflects the increased visibility, activism, and confidence within the community and across the age spectrum.
These individuals hail from Sweden, Canada, Tunisia, the United States, India, Great Britain and Spain. To read their remarkable stories, simply click on their names:
