Voting is now open for LGBTQ Nation Heroes 2023!

Presenting the nominees for HERO OF THE YEAR: Dylan Mulvaney, Anne JKN, Richard Fierro & Thomas James, and the D.C. Trans Prom Teens.

For our annual LGBTQ Nation Heroes celebration, our editorial team has curated a list of incredible queer people whose actions over the past year have inspired us all. These nominees have done heroic work in various fields, and now it's time to show them how much we appreciate all they do by voting for them across nine unique categories - including our Hero of the Year!

Readers can vote for who they think best represents what it is to be a hero in each category once a day through September 30. One vote is allowed per device per day. Winners will be announced at the beginning of October.
