The global LGBTQ community lost many notable individuals during the year. Each of these individuals has played an important and visible role in creating an awareness, sensitivity, profile, and as an activist for human rights as they relate to minorities and sexual diversities. We lost a particular cohort of LGBTQ poets this year. Other individuals made notable contributions in the field of journalism, dance, fashion, film, activism, music, law, politics, and books.
