Personal commitment to environmentalism is more pronounced in the US LGBTQ community than in the heterosexual population, according to a 2010 Harris poll. Caring about climate change is often considered to be an essential part of the queer identity, which is opposed to the status quo on many progressive fronts.

There are a number of LGBTQ groups formed to rally the community for action on climate change. Queers For The Climate is one, as is Queers X Climate, formed by Mexico's Diego de Leon Segovia who is Climate Advisor to the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Being an activist on issues of climate change is often a subset of environmental activism. As such, it is important to read this commentary in conjunction with our commentary on LGBTQ Environmental Activists.
