Famous LGBTQ+ couples who are relationship goals

It is now more important than ever for all the beauty, intelligence, talent, sense of humor, resilience, pride, and love — love, above all else — in the LGBTQ+ community to be seen and celebrated. Love that can be traditional, but also tailor-made. Love that can evolve, change, and transform. Love that can be of self, especially before someone else. (Can we get an amen?)

Try as they might, our love defies erasure. No matter how many setbacks, law changes, and shenanigans are thrown in our direction, our hard-fought identities, resilient journeys, and love stories will still exist. We will come together, persevere, support one another, and find love — whatever that means to each one of us. Doing things our way, redefining "relationship goals," and thriving through turbulence is what we've always done, after all.
