Outstanding LGBTQ Youths of 2022
QueerBio.Com is pleased to present its annual list of Outstanding LGBTQ Youths for the year. The biographies of these individuals were added to the biographical website during 2022 when their actions and achievements came to the attention of the editors. Outstanding LGBTQ youths are 25 years of age or younger and appear on our list in the year they were added to the biographical data site. Be sure to check out previous years' recognitions as they continue to have an impact today!
Each individual represents a generation that is comfortable with their personal sexual identity. All have used their skills, profile and success to serve as role models to help others live their lives openly. They come from the worlds of activism, sports, politics, fashion and entertainment.
In each case, the individual has broken discriminatory barriers and proudly declared their personal sexual identity.
Each has made a material impact in their field of interest, and several have become tops in their field.
