#38 Sia
In 2013, Sia came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Sia “decided to dedicate myself to the queer community in a more meaningful way” in a 2017 essay for Billboard’s “Love Letter to the LGBTQ Community” series. The singer mostly used her letter to bring attention to the difficulties and diversity of the LGBTQ community.
“I am so very grateful for my queer community and would have withered away long ago without them. Specifically my manager David, who has held my hand now for 12 years, through light and dark. He recently came out publicly as HIV positive, and the transformation of his shame into self acceptance has been magic to watch.”
