Britney Spears wrote a love letter to her LGBT fans in honor of Pride month in collaboration with Billboard.

“This is my letter of love to all my LGBTQ fans. Continuously throughout my career, you’ve always been so vocal about what a positive impact I’ve had on you — that I’ve instilled joy, hope and love in you at times when there was none. That my music is an inspiration. That my story gives you hope,” Spears writes.

“But I have a secret to share with you. You see, it’s actually you that lifts me up. The unwavering loyalty. the lack of judgment. The unapologetic truth. Acceptance! Your stories are what inspire me, bring me joy and make me and my sons strive to be better people,” Spears continues.

Billboard has partnered with other celebrities to compose letters to the LGBT community for Pride month inclouding Barbra Streisand, RuPaul, Sean Hayes, Megan Mullally, Melissa Etheridge and more.
