Your Ultimate Guide to Queer Influencers: 25 Must-Follow Accounts

September 16, 2020 By Cade Hildreth 1 Comment

The word “influencer” describes someone who has acquired influence over or trust among a specific group of people. Thus, queer influencers are people who are influential within and across the LGBTQ community.

With the rise of the internet, and social media in particular, the rise of queer influencers has been exponential.

This is powerful because it means that LGBTQ communities are finally being heard. Gay, lesbian, queer and trans individuals now have platforms where they can directly connect, sharing thoughts, ideas, and importantly, support.

However, with so many voices crying out to be heard, how can you know which queer influencers to follow?

Below are 25 queer influencers—from across the beautiful queer spectrum—to brighten up your feed. Every single one of them is unique, rare and invaluable.

With anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans legislation on the With anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans legislation on the rise, I have enormous RESPECT for people for are taking action to support our communities. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Putting this into action are Dr @EricCervini, an author and historian, and his partner @Adam_Powell. Together they will be driving a bus full of banned #queerbooks across the U.S., starting this summer! 

I absolutely love this idea—and can't wait for them to swing by Virginia! 

From an article shared on XtraMagazine.com:

“With LGBTQ2S+ books under attack in the U.S. at record rates, author Eric Cervini and his boyfriend, actor Adam Powell, knew they wanted to take action. While others are organizing with protests, drag queen story hours, days of reading and other important acts of resistance, Cervini and Powell have their own spin on what to contribute to the movement—and that spin has wheels.

The pair are working on buying, then building, what they call the Rainbow Book Bus, a bookmobile carrying queer and trans books to small towns. 

After reaching their crowdfunding goal of USD $100,000 at the end of December, Cervini and Powell are now able to pay a specialized company to retrofit a school bus to become a beacon of queer literature. 

‘Our goal is to have at least an early version of it ready by Pride [in June],’ Cervini tells Xtra. ‘We want to have a bus that is converted—it may not be fully decked out, but it will be functioning as a travelling book shop/book fair—in the summer of 2023.’”

If you'd like them to visit your town, share it in comments! 🌈🚌
