"I'm a proud gay Christian," Mary Lambert announced to a crowd at a GLAAD event that took place this month in New York City. She received cheers in response.

George-takei-main
The actor beloved by millions for his role as Hikaru Sulu of the USS Enterprise in the original Star Trek TV series (along with six blockbuster movies) hasn't rested on his laurels, transforming his considerable pop culture clout into advocacy efforts for both LGBT rights as well as Japanese-American relations.

Billy-porterx350
Billy Porter's first Broadway gig was with Miss Saigon in 1991, but the actor returned to his musical theater roots this past season, winning a Tony for Best Actor in a Musical for his role in Broadway's Kinky Boots, playing Lola, a man in drag.

Out100: Readers' Choice Award Nomination: Dustin Lance Black

Dustinlanceblack_0
As the most visible gay person in the film industry, Dustin Lance Black hasn't shied away from addressing difficult, often-controversial subjects. He returned to theater as a form of activism, penning 8, which addressed California's Proposition 8. Black's stature and influence -- such as his Oscar-winning script for Milk and his latest credit for J. Edgar -- could be attributed to his creative output alone, but he backs this up with fervent activism. Keep Reading →
