Christina Aguilera will be honored by Human Rights Campaign
HRC praises the singer for being a ‘true LGBTQ icon’
Human Rights Campaign will honor Christina Aguilera with its Ally for Equality award.
Human Rights Campaign hails the 38-year-old singer for raising funds in the battle against HIV/AIDS, advocating for marriage equality and fighting against anti-LGBT bullying.
āChristina Aguilera is a living legend and a true LGBTQ icon who consistently uses her global superstar platform to share a message of hope and inspiration to those who have been marginalized simply because of who they are,ā HRC President Chad Griffin said in a statement. āThrough her powerful music and her tireless efforts for positive change, she is making a real difference in the lives of countless people while bringing greater visibility to the LGBTQ community. HRC is proud to honor Christina Aguilera with the HRC Ally for Equality Award at the 2019 HRC Los Angeles Dinner.ā
Aguilera will be honored at HRC’s dinner in Los Angeles on March 30 along with LGBTQ advocate Yeardley Smith, who will receive the HRC National Leadership Award.
The Human Rights Campaign held its National Dinner at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center on Saturday, Sept. 7. Speakers included Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) and HRC President Kelley Robinson.
